Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 400 - 413: Can They Treat My Face Here?

But Xia Ling scolded him awake.

Even that naive girl who knew little of the world understood how serious Su Xingyu’s injury was; how could he not understand? Compared to the injuries he had inflicted upon her all these years, tonight’s minor setback was truly insignificant. So, when Xia Ling asked him to swear, he solemnly swore.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl from the next-door Pei Ziheng’s family.

He remembered four years ago when she heard about Xingyu’s death, this girl cried for a long time and was heartbroken at Xingyu’s funeral.

Only at the moment of the funeral did he realize Xingyu truly didn’t have many friends, and the girl’s earnest sadness and anger were so precious.

At least, besides him, there was someone in this world who deeply remembered Xingyu.

He originally disliked Xingyu’s association with Xia Ling, but now, his view of Xia Ling greatly improved.

He said to Xia Ling, "I’ll take Xingyu home first. You’re welcome to come and find her to play anytime."

"Do I need your permission to find Xingyu to play?!" Xia Ling replied angrily.

Lu Shifeng gave her a faint look and held Su Xingyu’s hand to leave.

His hand was dry and steady, not overly forceful, yet Su Xingyu couldn’t break free.

In front of so many people, Su Xingyu didn’t want to make a scene with him. Realizing that the night’s drink with Xia Ling was impossible, she sighed quietly and followed Lu Shifeng home.

The night wind was bleak.

Lu Shifeng remained silent all the way home. Nearing the house, he said to her, "If you’re coming home late next time, remember to give me a call."

Her heart trembled slightly; she intended to mock him for being too controlling, yet inexplicably, she agreed with a simple "okay."

They walked into the villa.

The house was very quiet, with only the maid, Mrs. Gui, waiting in the living room to hand them warm water.

Su Xingyu took the water, drank a sip, looked upstairs, and softly asked, "Asleep?"

Mrs. Gui knew she was asking about the two children, so she smiled appropriately and said, "They’re both asleep. Little Han kept asking the young master many questions during dinner when you were not here."

Su Xingyu looked at Lu Shifeng in surprise, meeting his gaze. The man looked at her tenderly, as if he had countless things to say.

Her heart was slightly unsettled; she turned around and quickly went upstairs to her room.

Moonlight filled the room softly; she didn’t turn on the light and went straight to the dressing table mirror, looking at herself.

Even in this soft moonlight, the scars on her cheeks appeared so grotesque and terrifying, as if clawed by a demon.

Recalling Lu Shifeng’s vow at the bar, Su Xingyu felt a hint of unease. Could her face really be cured? Before, Ouyang Yi promised to help her, and Cang Er also said they would, yet so much time passed with no word. Even if Ouyang Yi had ulterior motives and had now broken ties with her, what about Cang Er?

As the editor-in-chief of Cloud Magazine, Cang Er knew many people and was quite influential.

Yet even she didn’t know where her face could be treated, so how could Lu Shifeng possibly know?

Lu Shifeng wasn’t involved in the fashion industry; how could he understand fashion and beauty treatments...

Su Xingyu’s mind wandered, one moment worrying her face would never be cured, another worrying whether Lu Shifeng’s vow would come true. She comforted herself that there was no such thing as divine intervention in this world, vows were just self-deception. Thinking this way, she finally managed to fall asleep fitfully in bed.

Days passed by.

After that night at the bar, Lu Shifeng seemed to act as if nothing happened, going to work as usual.

However, Su Xingyu didn’t think he’d forgotten this matter; having been together for so long, she understood Lu Shifeng somewhat. No matter how chaotic his emotional intelligence was, one thing was certain: Lu Shifeng greatly valued responsibility and promises. Once he promised something, he would do his best to fulfill it.

Su Xingyu didn’t know how he would achieve it.

In fact, she didn’t hold much hope for it, just staying home to take care of the children and occasionally taking on projects from Cloud.

She had promised the planning editor from Cloud to reclaim the venue loss delayed by Zhuang Heng.

She actually brought it up to Lu Shifeng, and without a word, he had Xie Jian cover it, even double compensating, which darkened Zhuang Heng’s expression.

The Cloud people accepted the compensation, bragged extensively in public, resulting in many media outlets believing that of Lu Shifeng’s two women, Su Xingyu was more favored, gradually causing many to belittle Zhuang Heng. Although Zhuang Heng was secretly furious, she was helpless.

Conversely, more and more people began to approach Su Xingyu, trying to win her favor and flattery, causing her to be surrounded by people whenever she went out for work, creating a bustling scene.

Su Xingyu didn’t actually care much about these things.

That day, she returned as usual after finishing a photo shoot.

Lu Shifeng said to her, "Pack your things, and go with me somewhere tomorrow."

She asked, "Where to?"

Lu Shifeng glanced at her, "To treat your face."

She instinctively let out a small exclamation, nearly dropping the water cup in her hand.

She looked at Lu Shifeng, almost doubting her own hearing; even her voice was filled with uncertainty, "You, you found a way to treat my face?"

Lu Shifeng explained patiently, "Found it. There’s a world-class biological medical organization hidden in this city. They possess the most advanced technology. I told them about your face, and they said no problem." This organization was found through his family friend Lee Lei.

When Lee Lei heard he was looking for a way to treat Su Xingyu’s face, he took him there, saying the mysterious biological medical organization’s owner was rarely seen and had an eccentric temperament. Whether they could get help was entirely a matter of luck. Fortunately, they agreed to help.

His gaze softly fell on Su Xingyu, determined to fulfill his promise to her.

No matter what the cost.

Su Xingyu still suspected she was dreaming, feeling hazy, until the next day when she followed Lu Shifeng into the car, arriving at a somewhat dilapidated building in the suburbs, she felt a slight sense of reality.

Yet what came next was a more surreal feeling.

The building where they parked was so outdated, seemingly having at least ten or twenty years of history. Not to mention a world-class biological medical organization; even a relatively well-off company in a big city like S City could rent a newer building than this.
