"In the afternoon today around 1 pm, there was a hover crash at City Orphanage. In this crash, the only daughter of businessman Li Chen, Li Qing Yue, is reported to be fatally injured. Our sources report the young girl risked her life to save that of a five-year-old. At the moment, she is admitted to Long Medical Hospital, and her situation is unclear. Citizens of LiLong Country, let's all pray together for the recovery of this brave, young girl. She..."
"Ha! Li Qing Yue is dying!?" With a click, the TeleSec line went dark. In the silent atmosphere, the joyous excitement in Yei Yi's voice couldn't be concealed.
"She's dying! She's dying! Haha...Li Qing Yue...go in peace!" If she could, Yei Yi wanted to say these words over the girl's dead body.
Unfortunately, she got the news too late. If she went to Long Medical Hospital right now, Li Chen wouldn't so much as blink at her.
And that's why she both admired and hated him.
She hated how he saw and car
"That...we..."Taking a big gulp, Dr. Ren wiped his sweat and decisively closed his eyes."We did our best to save the patient. But she's still unconscious. As of now, we can't make any statement on her condition. We need to keep her under observation for another day."Having gotten everything out in one breath, the doctor's shoulders sagged in relief.There. He said all he needed to say.From here, they can do whatever they want.Drained by the pressure of the two gods and tried from treating the girl's horrific condition, Dr. Ren passed out before Long Hongwu or Li Chen could react."This...!" Chief Physician Mu was rendered speechless.The doctor in charge of the buddha's treatment had passed out. Under this situation, what was he supposed to do?"Dr. Ren!" The nurses and physician assistants cried out in shock and held the man's falling figure. They didn't despise him for his feeble heart. Because they understood the
The man was frozen stiff, not knowing where to begin.She woke up just like...that?What now?He was worried when she was unconscious.Anxious when he heard the physician's report.Now he felt conflicted.Was this her acceptance to his promise?Qing Yue was still fuming at Li Feng in her mind when she heard the deep voice of a man beside her. She blinked once, twice, before slowly turning her head.Bandaged like a mummy from head to toe, her movements were anything but flexible and painless. But Qing Yue ignored the numbing pain spreading through her body and fixed her sight on the figure.What entered her sight was a blue slim fit suit wrapped around a tall, well-defined, figure. Her gaze lifted up, but as her body was stiff from the many wrappings, her sight only caught his defined jaw and thin, firm lips."You...who are...you?" Da**! Why did she sound like an 80-year-old lady?Did...did the smoke damage
"Commander Long, Young Master Long, and Mr. Li...I'm sorry to say this, but...Young Mistress Qing Yue won't be able to stand on her feet anymore. Moreover, the injury on her face...she's likely to be...disfigured for life."The moment Dr. Ren finished his speech, he sighed in relief and weakly slumped against the wall.Speaking to these gods was draining.And yet, he still needed to preserve his strength to face their wrath.To face such a catastrophe, his good fortune for this life must've run out.The three men were frozen stiff.There wasn't a trace of emotion to be found on their faces.But their vacant and dazed eyes spoke volumes of their state of mind."What...did you say?" The first to return to his senses was Commander Long.Grinded by war and gore, the matter of disability and disfigurement, though devastating, didn't hit him as an earth-shattering matter."Qing Qing will never be able to walk again? She
The soul shuddering wails even made her tremble in dread.To produce such horrific wails, what kind of agonizing pain was she experiencing?The ward swung open and a frantic Long Tian, Li Chen, and Long Hongwu were ushered out."Dr. Ren, what's going on? Why is Yue'er screaming?" Li Chen was close to collapsing from grief.When had his beloved daughter ever wailed like this?As far as he could remember, Li Qing Yue had never cried after her first birthday."Mr. Li, don't worry. The pain-relief medication we'd administered must've run out. After changing medication, she'll calm down.""You're telling me you didn't change her medication on time? What kind of professionalism is this? You yourself said her injuries are grave. So how can you forget to monitor her medication?" Long Tian was enraged.The girl's wails were anything but humane.Harsh, jarring, and heart-rending, the sound made even his heart tremble."I...
Qing Yue blinked.Never walk again? Disfigured for life?This must've been what Li Feng meant when he said she could regain her original appearance.Sigh. I wonder how long the process will take...Seeing her expression remain as impassive as before Long Hongwu revealed the news, the three men in the room tensed up.It couldn't be the news was too huge of a blow for her to react, right?At this thought, they felt even more anxious."Qing Qing, don't worry. Uncle Long will find all the best medical doctors in the country to help you. You'll be better in no time.""Yes, Yue'er. If necessary, we'll even fly in a foreign specialist to treat you. So don't feel depressed. You'll be better in no time.""You'll probably feel hopeless and discouraged because the treatment will not be easy. It will even be painful. But we'll be with you. As long as you don't give up, there's hope."Qing Yue returned to her senses and swept
Once again, the men in the room were shocked speechless.Qing Yue's words were like a clap of thunder.That's right. Unless one gave the words of others great importance, at the end of the day, they were nothing more than mere air blowing through their ear.The people in the room knew this. But it wasn't until they heard Qing Yue say it that they saw the light.In this society where the new generation placed high importance on others' opinions and views of them, it was difficult to maintain a mindset where they could brush off and not allow themselves to be affected by any unpleasant comment or remark.So Qing Yue's words made the mean feel refreshed and ashamed of their own shortsightedness. Rather than give importance to what others thought, they should reflect more on themselves."Qing Qing, Uncle Long has nothing else to say. I can see that you are more clear-minded about what's important than us, so I'll stop worrying needlessly. Howeve
The three men's sight instantly shifted to the girl. Finding her expression as impassive and expressionless as before, they secretly sighed in relief.It's good she isn't affected...The next moment, their gazes turned cold.They weren't born yesterday so how could they miss the malice and scorn in the three women's tone?They hadn't come to see a patient.They came to mock and ridicule the girl until she broke and shattered and could no longer get back on her feet."Sisters-in-law, that's enough. Yue'er isn't in the condition for this sort of talks." Li Chen's voice held faint hints of anger. If they weren't his brothers wives, he would've directly kicked them out.But whether the three middle-aged women failed to catch his barely restrained anger or purposely ignored it was unknown.Because they disregarded his words and continued their rant.Aunt Hong turned to Li Chen with a sad and pained expression on her face.
Qing Yue looked at the three men in confusion.Would anyone please tell her what's going on? Weren't they chatting nice and well?Why had the situation suddenly come to her marriage?"Da...Dad, marriage?" She hoped he'd say she'd misheard. She hoped he'd say it was someone else's marriage.Unfortunately..."Yes, Yue'er. Little Tian and you will sign your marriage certificates today. Then after your discharge, you'll go to your new home, the Long Mansion." Li Chen's eyes practically glowed as he spoke about his daughter's marriage.His gaze shifted to the stunned Qing Yue and a despondent look appeared in his eyes.He wasted 18 years of his daughter's growth wandering in a hazy mist of a past long gone. Now that he broke out of the mist and saw the light, he realized the little child he held in his arms had already sprouted into a young sapling.She was a woman getting married.A woman that would leave for her own home.
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement which caused Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal to her. Even after scanning her face and the scarred part of her body in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My body was burned and wrinkled, my face horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this mo
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult.What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath!"Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really! But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze."You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked."Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough.""Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances.But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile.They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time, his Yue'er would come so close to him that no excuses wo
"Brother Tian...""Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap.""Huh?" What the he**! Where did that come from!?Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming."Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt him tense up.This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband.She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed?"Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it."Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife."The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across his face. He thought she didn't like his sudden intimacy. But her words
Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed.The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver.Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them.Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips.But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue.This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect.He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart.Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and yet, he didn't despise her or feel disgusted with her.Such
"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reasonable explanation for his outrageous and overbearing request. It
Long Tian and Qing Yue's hovership landed in the same private open-air parking as their last visit. As Qing Yue was too nervous and worried about her exam results, she wasn't able to enjoy the scenery like the last time. Seeing her worried expression, Long Tian's dissatisfaction with his uncle increased. Uncle Yi Ming, you had better have a good reason for calling us in. His wife's tense appearance stoked an unnamable fire in Long Tian's heart. As they neared the administration building, he unconsciously released a frosty air that made the staff scatter away and maintain a distance from them. "Tian Tian, Qing Qing, you're here! Qing Qing, you don't mind if I call you Qing Qing, right?" Long Tian's face immediately darkened when he saw his unreliable Uncle. He couldn't help but wonder if the loose screws of his mind were that bad. "Aren't you already calling her Qing Qing?" He coldly asked. "Hahaha! I am, but I didn't ask before doing so. That's why I'm asking now." "Are my res
"Yue'er, Yue'er!""Huh? Ah! Brother Tian..." Qing Yue snapped back to attention. Li Feng's words, she'd forgotten about Long Tian."Sorry, Brother Tian. What were you saying?"Long Tian frowned and turned to look at her. "Are you okay? If you're feeling unwell, tell me.""Brother Tian, I'm capable enough to treat myself if I don't feel well. Will you stop worrying?" Qing Yue scowled. Her husband's nagging didn't stop even after his reaffirmation of her ability."Yue'er, don't get mad. I...It's because I care that I worry...hmm?" Long Tian knew his wife didn't like his excessive attention.But what could he do? After her fall, he never felt at ease. In fact, he had a feeling that he'd never stop worrying even if he wanted to until she fully recovered.He hurriedly reverted the topic back to his question. "So, can poisons be used to cure a virus?"Qing Yue scanned her husband's anxious expression and didn't call him out in his at
In the next few days, Qing Yue completely focused on her treatment.Now that she was going to enroll in a university, she was energetic and more motivated to recover. After all, how could a doctor that couldn't even treat herself, treat others?And now that her husband knew about her secret treatment sessions, she didn't need to be as secret as before.From 5-6 in the morning, her treatment length extended to from 3-6.This meant she spent three hours a day undergoing grilling treatment sessions that left her weak and powerless.Thankfully, her husband was by her side during all her sessions.When Long Tian first witnessed his wife's skills, he was flabbergasted. Then thinking she was still too young to possess such knowledge and godly techniques, he went on his WebCom and searched through the online links.Anything that had even the slightest mention of poison treatment, moxibustion, and acupuncture was read by him.Most of th
Couldn't he see the woman was still pinning for him? But as if blind to the affection of the other, Long Tian stretched out his hand and tenderly wiped his wife's lips. The action stunned both Lu Jin and Qing Yue. Even when they were together and the man spoiled her, Lu Jin had never seen such a tender look on his face. What's more, he even touched the ugly cripple's lips! Lu Jin felt suffocated. Her heart burned with the flames of jealousy and hatred as she resentfully glared at Qing Yue like she wanted to drink the other's blood and gnaw on her flesh. On the other hand, Qing Yue fiercely trembled when she sensed the other's vicious glare. Da** it! Why are you glaring at me!? If you have something to say, say it to the man you're chasing! Her husband's action surprised her as well. Right before his ex, he touched her lips. If Qing Yue didn't know him better, she would've really thought he did it to make his ex-girlfriend jealo
