Chapter 1486: Great to Have You (46)

Alright, go home, then.

After they left, the elder Mr. Mu leaned against the chair with his eyes glassed over. Staring at his second son, he said, Ive let you down.

Its already been so many years. The truth still got out anyway. However, I still see Wansheng as my daughter. Its just that our familys reputation is now

Our familys reputation has long been ruined. Forget it, well just play it by ear.

Are you really alright? Fan Shixin asked Mu Wansheng while holding onto her hand.

Yes. Actually, the Mu family isnt that important to me anymore. What matters most now are you and our daughter. So, I wont take it to heart after making my priorities clear.

Youve got the right mindset. The truth can never be changed, regardless of how absurd it may be, he said, smiling.

Once they got inside the car, she asked, Are we going home?

Where would you like to go?

Ill go wherever you take me to.

Sure. He reached out to buckle her safety belt before driving toward the amusement park.

Why are we here?

This is the place where I found you. We have to come and take a look.

This may be the place where you found me but its not the place where I first met you again after my accident, Mu Wansheng said with a smile.

The first time you saw me again was at the hospital.

Yes, it was on the elevator of the hospital. We were going to the same floor.

He looked at her and said, You should have called my name back then. I couldnt tell it was you because your voice was different and you had your face covered.

Yes, I regret it too.

Its alright, weve still returned to each others side at the end of the day after going round and round in circles.

Mu Wanshengs heart began to flutter. She often found herself turning as meek as a lamb whenever she was with him. She felt like she was becoming increasingly attached and reliant on him.

Giving your heart to someone else is indeed a great risk and a huge gamble.

A few days later, Fan Shixin took Mu Wansheng overseas again.

This time, she was embarking on a journey toward regaining her beauty and confidence, which would involve a great deal of pain, suffering, and risks. If the surgery were to fail, the results would be fatal because of the numerous blood vessels beneath the skin on ones face. Not to mention, the costs of the cosmetic surgeries were hefty, especially since Fan Shixin had booked an appointment with a renowned plastic surgeon.

He wanted to maximize the chances of success, as far as possible.

After running a physical check on Mu Wanshengs face, the surgeon told them, Fortunately, Ms. Mus features are still intact. Ive performed many other surgeries that are similar to this, but there are definitely risks involved because of the numerous blood vessels beneath the skin surface of the face. I have to let you guys know this beforehand so that you can prepare yourselves mentally.

Mu Wansheng nodded and said, Were well aware of that.

On top of that, once the anesthesia wears off after the surgery, youll be in great pain due to the severe damage on your skin. The recovery will take a longer time as well. You must be ready for that.

Yes, Ive prepared myself as fully as I can. Doctor, please help me. I can bear with the pain regardless of how excruciating it may be.

Ill do my best to help you.

Although Mu Wansheng was rather terrified, she felt much less worried because Fan Shixin was around to accompany her.

The surgery was scheduled after the surgeon had come up with a concrete plan.

While waiting for the day of the surgery, Fan Shixin brought her to the hospital to have her vocal cords checked.

He wanted her to regain her confidence and, hence, he had been keeping it in mind.

After the checkup, the doctor informed them that the damage to her vocal cords was not severe and could be fixed with a minor surgery.

Mu Wansheng felt as if she was in a dream. After some discussion with Fan Shixin, she decided to undergo the minor surgery.

Mu Wansheng was put through a whirlpool of emotions and a whole lot of pain because of the two surgeries that were scheduled in one week.

She came to when the effects of the anesthesia subsided.

She was in too much pain to even continue lying down. In order to stop her from moving, Fan Shixin had no choice but to hold her jerking body down.

Fan Shixin was sympathetic yet helpless when he heard her shrill screams and shrieks.

As much as he wanted to suffer in her place, there was nothing he could do to ease her pain. All he could do was try and comfort her.

Grabbing his hand and panting heavily, Mu Wansheng spluttered in unbearable pain, Shixin, I I think Im Im going to die of pain.

Bear with it. Itll be over very soon. Think about how beautiful youre going to become in the near future. No one would dare to tease you or call you names anymore. Isnt that great? Be good and stay quiet. Youve just gotten your vocal cords operated on. Im here with you. Itll all be over soon. If you find that time is crawling by, why dont I tell you a story?

Okay

Fan Shixin held her body down with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other while telling her a story. He recounted everything that happened to him in the past, including anecdotes about his childhood. He managed to distract her from the pain and she gradually began chatting with him while forgetting about the pain.

Despite feeling parched, Fan Shixin continued to go on and on until she dozed off. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Fan Shixin had never taken such a long break from work before due to the fact that he used to be single. Hence, he could focus entirely on work since he had no women to go on dates with. He was still rather preoccupied with work even after marrying Yang Qianxue.

Jin Qingyan had actually begun to miss Fan Shixin after not seeing him for such a long time.

He gave Fan Shixin a call to show his concern about the situation.

Young Sir.

Shixin, I havent seen you in such a long time. Did you miss me?

Pursing his lips, Fan Shixin jested, Young Sir, what has gotten into you? Are you possessed by a ghost?

Are you out of your mind? Why would I be possessed with your Young Madam around?

Why did you ask such a random question, then?

Jin Qingyan smiled and said, Im just not used to seeing you around.

Youll have to bear with it for a while longer. Wansheng has just undergone surgery. Ill have to take care of her while shes recovering. The recovery is going to take some time.

Yes, you should. Im waiting to attend your wedding.

Fan Shixin chuckled and said, Young Sir, you can prepare the red packets in advance.

I can get that ready anytime. Whats the rush? Im going to go now.

Young Sir! Dont go! Whats going to happen to Young Madam if you leave?

Seems like youre asking for death. How dare you make fun of me.

I learned it from you.

He then ended the call.

Fan Shixin was in high spirits. It had never crossed his mind that Jin Qingyan would miss him. Unbelievable. However, its rather amusing for a grown man to be missing another grown man.
