Chapter 26 Mutual Devotion
Liu Ran lowered her head.
With a hint of inferiority, she said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, do you really mind my appearance? If you do, then... then we can get a divorce. I know you married me just to repay the kindness from when we were children. My face is completely ruined, I can't even stand to look at it myself, so how could you..."
"Wife!"
Chen Yang walked over, opened his arms, and hugged Liu Ran.
He held her tightly.
Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Liu Ran, I'm truly sorry. I'm sorry that I only appeared by your side so late, sorry that you've suffered so much torment and pain, sorry that I haven't been able to dote on you like a princess, and haven't been able to let you sleep peacefully every night and enjoy every day."
"I'm here now. I will heal your scars, and I will help you recover."
"I love you, and it has nothing to do with your appearance! I love your kind heart, the warmth of your blood, the warmth of you holding me on that snowy day!"
"Even if I can't heal your face, I will still love you to the bone, my longing will penetrate my soul. Of course, I can heal you. I bought a medical book from a street vendor once, and it recorded methods for treating burns."
"Today, let's give it a try. What if you really recover?"
Liu Ran heard Chen Yang's murmuring words and tears fell.
She also hugged Chen Yang, "I understand now, Chen Yang, I understand. We are two unfortunate souls, warming each other in this darkness. I won't abandon you. Unless one day you truly get better, become powerful, and shine brightly, then I will let go and let you pursue happiness."
"As long as you are still in darkness, I will take care of you, cherish you, and protect you."
"Just like on that snowy night twenty years ago, I won't let go of your hand! Even if you're caught in the rapids, even if you drink my blood, even if you're as cold as ice, I will warm you with all my might."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's nose twitched.
At the same time, a surge of joy filled his chest.
At this moment.
He felt like the happiest person!
The happiest man in the entire world!
Chen Yang picked up Liu Ran and said loudly, "Okay, wife, I understand! Now, you go take a bath first. I... I am truly so happy!"
Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang's silly expression and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Soon.
Liu Ran finished her bath in the dilapidated bathroom.
Even though she didn't believe Chen Yang could heal her face at all.
She held no hope whatsoever!
But for Chen Yang, she was willing to cooperate!
After washing, Liu Ran walked out.
Just then, her phone rang.
She picked up her phone and looked at it, a look of panic and inferiority appearing on Liu Ran's face.
She took a few deep breaths before slowly raising her phone.
Seeing Liu Ran's action, Chen Yang frowned.
He walked over to Liu Ran and glanced at her phone. The screen displayed "Grandma"!
Chen Yang was puzzled, not understanding why Liu Ran dared not answer her grandmother's call.
Liu Ran pressed the answer button, trying her best to control her trembling and fearful voice, and said, "Hello, Grandma."
"Hello what! I'm so angry I could die, you've embarrassed me to death! You useless ugly monster! I heard from Liu Xin that you actually got married to that useless thing, Chen Yang?!" Old Mrs. Liu on the other end yelled.
Liu Ran bit her lip and said, "Yes... yes, Grandma, I was going to report to you."
"Report what nonsense! You really are... Forget it. You're so ugly you can't be seen anyway, marrying that useless thing is like an ugly toad marrying a turtle, a match made in heaven! Alright, come to the ancestral home tomorrow with your cousin, and we'll have a banquet." Old Mrs. Liu commanded.
Hearing this, Liu Ran felt even more inferior. She quickly said, "Grandma, Chen Yang and I won't go, we..."
"You must come! Even though you're ugly, you're still a member of the Liu family. If you don't have a banquet for your wedding, will you make our Liu family a laughingstock! Also, tell that useless thing Chen Yang to dress up nicely tomorrow, and prepare a good gift as a betrothal present! Got it! Don't disgrace us then!"
Liu Ran immediately said, "Grandma, we really aren't going, we..."
At this moment, Chen Yang snatched the phone and said into the phone, "Grandma, we will definitely be there on time tomorrow!"
Chen Yang called out "Grandma" very smoothly.
After all, he had to call Grandma when he married Liu Xin before.
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Old Mrs. Liu immediately let out an angry snort, "Hmph, you have the thickest skin! Prepare a decent betrothal gift tomorrow, and don't embarrass our Liu family at the banquet! Useless thing!"
The phone on the other end hung up.
Chen Yang handed the phone back to Liu Ran.
Liu Ran sighed and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, we really can't find anything valuable in our family right now. Besides, at tomorrow's banquet, Yang Long will definitely give Liu Xin very valuable gifts. If we go, we'll just be a laughingstock. I don't want you to be ridiculed, so let's not go tomorrow..."
"No, we must go! Leave the matter of the gift to me."
Chen Yang gave Liu Ran a comforting smile, "I told you, ever since we got married, I wouldn't let you suffer any grievances. Alright, wife, now, let's begin the formal treatment."
As Chen Yang spoke, he picked up an acupuncture bag from the side.
And a scalpel.
Liu Ran was startled when she saw the scalpel.
She had thought it would just be applying some medicine.
But she never expected it would involve surgery!
"Chen Yang, can... can this work? You haven't studied medicine, and you're going to use a scalpel just after reading a prescription from a street vendor. Isn't that too... dangerous?" Liu Ran said hesitantly.
Chen Yang smiled and pinched Liu Ran's cheek, "Don't worry, it's not complicated. We just need to cut open the previous burn and squeeze out the tissue fluid. It will be done soon."
Liu Ran was extremely worried.
But in the end, she obediently closed her eyes and lay down on the sofa.
Chen Yang took out the acupuncture needles.
He first quickly inserted them into the Si Shen Cong acupoints on Liu Ran's head.
After the needles were inserted, Liu Ran's breathing became even, and she soon fell asleep.
Chen Yang's expression became serious.
This, of course, was not a minor surgery!
To restore burn-scarred faces to their original state.
Only he, the Celestial Venerable Holy Doctor, could achieve this in the entire world!
Even his master could not do this!
Chen Yang picked up the scalpel, skillfully and steadily cutting open the upper layer of the epidermis, and quickly cleaned the fibrotic burnt tissue.
Twenty minutes later.
All the burnt areas were cleared.
Chen Yang gently and skillfully spread the prepared burn ointment onto Liu Ran's face.
Then, he used gauze to completely wrap Liu Ran's entire face.
Twelve hours later.
Her skin would be reborn once more!
Chen Yang looked at the sleeping Liu Ran.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
After thinking for a moment.
Chen Yang took out his phone and called Zhuque, "Zhuque, help me collect a valuable gift. I need to go to the Liu family to give a gift tomorrow!"
