Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Treatment

Ji Yu simply found an excuse to slip away.

In any case, what happened before absolutely wouldn’t happen again.

Of course, she didn’t forget about Song Xuan’s matter.

This time, however, Ji Yu had notified Gu Qixiao in advance.

"If Miss Song keeps making trouble, it might affect my mood. If I decide not to do the surgery, don’t blame me."

She had long since gauged the situation with Song Xuan’s face.

If the surgery wasn’t done soon, recovery might become difficult later.

Gu Qixiao felt a faint sense of displeasure but held it in for the time being. "You went to see a concert yesterday?"

Ji Yu didn’t expect him to change the topic so quickly. "I accompanied Qinqin to see a concert. Do you have a problem with that?"

With Feng Qinqin?

He found it hard to believe, but he also knew Ji Yu might be in a bad mood, so he didn’t press further.

"About Granny Li’s matter..."

"I know you said those things to get me to help at the time, so there’s no need to explain," Ji Yu said indifferently.

She had never entertained other thoughts about it.

But this time, Gu Qixiao’s intentions weren’t the same.

He opened his mouth several times but didn’t know how to explain.

"Since there’s nothing else, then bring Miss Song tomorrow. I’ll only give you this one chance. If you miss it, I won’t bother with the matter again."

She had many other patients to save and couldn’t afford to waste too much time on Song Xuan.

Learning about this matter, Song Xuan was elated and pulled Gu Qixiao aside to celebrate. "Xiao, my face is finally going to recover! Aren’t you happy?"

She could finally stand openly by Gu Qixiao’s side.

But Gu Qixiao’s mind wasn’t on that. He was still thinking about what he had said to Granny Li that day.

And to this day, he didn’t regret saying those words.

"Rest well. Talk after your face has recovered. And don’t offend Doctor Ji in the future—her skills are indeed remarkable."

Song Xuan, consumed by her happiness, didn’t pay much attention to this.

"I know, Xiao. I’ll sort everything out afterward. But you must promise to stay by my side during the surgery."

Actually, she didn’t need to ask—Gu Qixiao had already decided to stay by her side.

Thinking about how it would be, an unsettling irritation gripped his heart.

"Alright, just rest well tonight. I have other matters to take care of."

He then turned and left, completely ignoring Song Xuan.

Song Xuan wasn’t worried though. She knew that once her face recovered, Gu Qixiao would surely come back to her.

It seemed her good mood even carried into the next day when she met Ji Yu. Her attitude was unexpectedly cordial.

"I’ll have to trouble Doctor Ji," she said with a smile, as though she’d truly changed.

Ji Yu remained indifferent, not caring whether her behavior was genuine or an act. "Your surgery will be a major operation and might take a while. Please be prepared."

She only did what she had to do.

But Song Xuan felt Ji Yu was putting on airs. Otherwise, why would she talk in such a detached tone?

"Xiao, why is Doctor Ji so cold? Is she still holding onto grudges from before?"

Gu Qixiao knew Ji Yu wasn’t like that at all and naturally sided with her. "Perhaps she’s just eager to get the surgery done. Your operation might delay her quite a bit."

She was pregnant after all. Performing such a complex procedure wouldn’t be easy.

With that thought, Gu Qixiao looked at Ji Yu with a hint of pity, silently planning how to make it up to her later.

"Xiao, are you close with Doctor Ji? Why are you always standing up for her?"

Song Xuan dug her nails into her palm, forcing herself to maintain a composed smile. Yet jealousy churned within her—the intense urge to tear Ji Yu’s face apart boiled under the surface.

"Doctor Ji isn’t as volatile as you imagine. Let’s not overthink this. Just focus on preparing for the surgery."

Unexpectedly, during this surgery, Song Xuan cooperated very well—perhaps frightened by what had happened before.

Ji Yu was relieved to have an easier time.

After finishing the operation, she placed the cleaned silicone implants in front of Song Xuan. "These two things are what ruined your face. I hope you’ll think twice before doing any similar procedures in the future."

She didn’t insist on telling her what to do.

Yet she still found all this exhausting.

Song Xuan looked at the silicone implants with hatred in her eyes. "Someday, I’ll make that doctor pay."

She shouldn’t have trusted that doctor so carelessly before.

Ji Yu didn’t respond but instead called Gu Qixiao aside. "You’d better arrange someone to properly care for Miss Song afterwards. At least make sure nothing goes wrong this month; otherwise, even I won’t be able to help."

She handed him a list of precautions and didn’t bother saying more, only hoping the matter would be settled soon.

But Gu Qixiao worried about her health. "Are you okay?"

He was aware of her pregnancy and felt uneasy.

"I’m fine." Ji Yu’s gaze toward Gu Qixiao became somewhat complicated, puzzled at his sudden concern.

At least she didn’t find him as off-putting as before.

"There’s no need for this. Just take good care of Miss Song."

His deep attachment to this little lover meant they’d part ways with no further debts between them.

But Gu Qixiao felt differently—he was distracted and restless even upon returning to the hospital room.

"Xiao, did Doctor Ji say something to you? Why do you seem preoccupied?"

Song Xuan observed his expression and immediately suspected that his relationship with Ji Yu was anything but a normal doctor-patient dynamic.

"Nothing. From now on, be careful and follow instructions. Avoid any injuries." Gu Qixiao shook off his thoughts, intending to find a way to compensate Ji Yu later.

But Song Xuan perceived his behavior as guilt.

If there truly weren’t any deeper feelings involved, why would he feel guilty?

"Okay, Xiao. You’ll always take care of me, won’t you?"

The bandages on her face hid her expression from Gu Qixiao.

But Gu Qixiao knew he couldn’t look after Song Xuan forever.

"I treat you as my little sister. I’ll take care of you properly until you get married."

Just then, Assistant Li brought in the caregiver Gu Qixiao had arranged, so he decided to head back to the office and deal with work, ignoring whatever reaction Song Xuan might have.

He didn’t notice the malice brewing in Song Xuan’s gaze.

"Assistant Li, I don’t want a caregiver—I only want Xiao to take care of me."

She stubbornly refused the caregiver and angrily knocked over the nearby medication.

The commotion startled everyone nearby.

"Miss Song, you surely understand that President Gu has work to attend to; he can’t always stay by your side," Assistant Li said evenly.
