Wu Xiong's hospital room was right next to Jiang Yingying's.
Lu Yuan first went to check Jiang Yingying's condition, which was fully suitable for changing dressings.
Liu Yuan helped Jiang Yingying sit up and wrapped her in a towel, finally placing a mirror in front of her.
Then, Lu Yuan held a small pair of scissors and slowly cut open the layers of gauze wrapped around Jiang Yingying's head.
As layer after layer of gauze fell away, gradually, the mirror in front of Jiang Yingying revealed a face that looked like a pig's head.
When Jiang Yingying saw her new face in the mirror, she silently swore to herself in that moment.
If her face was going to stay like this, even if she couldn't beat Lu Yuan, she would haunt him every day even as a ghost!
Never underestimate a woman's determination to defend her appearance,
Even if she was a transgender woman,
Even if she was facing Lu Yuan.
At this moment, Dr. Lu could already feel a chill arising around him.
"Don't get agitated first, I'm just confirming the facial bone structure, I haven't started sculpting yet..."
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, that hint of chill gradually disappeared.
When all the gauze was completely removed, Lu Yuan pressed Jiang Yingying's face with his fingers bit by bit.
A few minutes later:
"The bone structure is very good. Rest for two more days, then start sculpting."
"You're sure you want that cream-puff pretty boy face, right?"
"I'm sure."
"Okay, no problem."
After giving Jiang Yingying some reminders about what to pay attention to, Lu Yuan left the ward and headed to the conference room on the first floor.
In the conference room, Wu Xiong was a little restless.
He still wasn't used to his thinner body after losing weight.
From last night until now, Wu Xiong felt as if he were dreaming.
Did he really get blown up somehow?
Then someone installed a full set of mechanical prosthetics and brought him back to life?
He had worked in S Region's top medical consortium for most of his life, but he had never heard that current medical technology was so advanced!
But that was still minor.
Now sitting in the conference room, Wu Xiong couldn't help turning his head around to peek in all directions.
The others didn't know what he was peeking around for either.
After a while, Liu Yuan came into the conference room carrying a tray, wearing a nurse's uniform.
Clank!
The moment Liu Yuan pushed open the door, Wu Xiong got excited and his chair flipped back ninety degrees, sending his whole body tumbling to the floor.
Sun Ying next to him immediately reached over to help him up, but saw Wu Xiong kept signaling with his eyes while muttering quietly: "A nurse!"
"A nurse!"
"A nurse's face!"
Sun Ying looked at the equally confused Liu Yuan and said, "The nurse's face looks pretty good, what's wrong?"
Hearing Sun Ying say this, Wu Xiong slowly poked his head back out and looked over at Liu Yuan across from him.
Seeing it wasn't Lin Yaoyao, Wu Xiong's whole body finally relaxed, and he shrunk his head back in.
Strangely, he felt more comfortable hiding under the table.
While Liu Yuan poured water for everyone, Lu Yuan strode in.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting—"
Seeing Wu Xiong hiding under the table, Lu Yuan's expression became strange. "Director Wu, isn't this a bit over the top..."
Hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Wu Xiong poked his head back out bit by bit.
Seeing only Lu Yuan had come, and not the other nurse, Wu Xiong finally righted his chair and sat properly.
"Dr. Lu, I was just..."
Wu Xiong gestured at his own body as he spoke to Lu Yuan.
At that moment, the way Lu Yuan looked at Wu Xiong was as if appreciating a work of art.
"Tsk, Director Wu, this is the first full set of prosthetics I've installed. How does it feel?"
Wu Xiong looked a little down. "Pretty, pretty good..."
"It's just, Dr. Lu, let me say... this whole thing is my fault."
"You see, why can't I get my head around this?!"
"Dr. Lu, I, I still prefer my original body. Can you tell me, how could you change my body without my consent?"
As he spoke, Wu Xiong's whole demeanor became more low-spirited and lost.
Sun Ying next to him secretly sneered.
Sun Ying might not understand others, but she knew this Wu Xiong inside and out.
Just last night after first learning his body had been changed by Lu Yuan, Wu Xiong had been delighted at the time!
Back then, Wu Xiong, who had been shouting "ghost, ghost," instantly switched to asking: "Are there red light districts around here?"
"Let's see if the new body measures up?!"
And now, acting so dejected in front of Dr. Lu, Sun Ying, who was adept at dealing with people, could tell his tricks with one glance!
Wu Xiong wanted to arouse Lu Yuan's guilt, so he could seize benefits in the upcoming cooperation negotiations between them!
This was a very common negotiation tactic!
At this moment, Sun Ying glanced at Lu Yuan across from her.
Lu Yuan's face still wore that seemingly unchanging smile.
He took a small sip of water from his cup, quietly watching Wu Xiong's performance.
"Dr. Lu, I know you meant well, but you see... How could I be so unappreciative?!"
"How can I bear to part with that wreck of a body?! I hate it!"
Seeing Wu Xiong was about to cry, Lu Yuan gently tapped the table.
"Director Wu, if you want, I can switch you back."
"Dr. Lu, you make a fair point, but I just—"
Wu Xiong looked up, still with tears in his eyes, and asked Lu Yuan: "Dr. Lu, did you just say?"
"I said, if you want, I can switch you back."
"Switch, switch back?"
Wu Xiong panicked all at once.
"You, you can still switch back?"
Lu Yuan spread his hands. "As long as you want, I can do it."
Wu Xiong: "......"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Director Wu, shall I have a nurse prepare the operating room?"
Wu Xiong sniffed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, resolutely saying: "Dr. Lu, I think people should bravely step out of their comfort zone and embrace new things."
"Thank you so much for installing this new body for me, Dr. Lu, thank you!"
"You're too kind, Director Wu, I'm just doing my job."
Lu Yuan said, then glanced over at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan took out a bill from the folder and placed it in front of Wu Xiong.
"Director Wu, here is your bill, totaling 1.5 million. How will you be paying?"
Wu Xiong blinked, looking at Lu Yuan and said: "Dr. Lu, why don't we discuss our cooperation first?"
Lu Yuan readily nodded. "Sure!"
The subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.
After all one wanted to sell, the other wanted to buy.
But when they were negotiating the specific price, there was a slight accident.
3.5 million.
This was Lu Yuan's quote for a full set of mechanical prosthetics, and he refused to bargain.
Wu Xiong and his group were stunned.
"Dr. Lu, wasn't mine only 1.5 million?"
"How is it not the same thing?"
Lu Yuan calmly said: "The goods are the same. Patients who come to me get one price."
"Consortiums who buy from me get another price."
"Paying cash, it's this price."
Sun Ying frowned and asked: "Dr. Lu, then what if we send patients to you?"
Lu Yuan replied: "Then they still get the low price."
Sun Ying was puzzled. "Dr. Lu, you seem to really like treating patients yourself?"
Lu Yuan lifted his head slightly, and in that moment his whole demeanor became taller.
"It's my passion and ethic for this profession."
"It's also my responsibility and commitment to every patient," Wu Xiong said.
Sun Ying remained silent.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
