Chapter 585: Chapter 584: A Coquettish Wife is So Cute!

Lu Mian was really at a loss for words and cut off Ya Ling’s joke, asking, “Explain.”

Ya Ling, holding a pen, sketched on the documents on her desk.

“When it comes to the RE Factor, it’s a mysterious yet marvelous thing, with a strong regenerative and reparative function.

Take Yixin’s left hand, for example, many of the nerve tissues there are necrotic and unusable, but if we combine the RE Factor with the surgery, it can help her rebuild the nerve barrier, returning her hand to its original state.

The same principle applies to your uncle.

However, his situation is much more urgent.

If he doesn’t undergo surgery within three months, I’m afraid that even with the RE Factor, it would be too late to save him.”

Good, if there’s a way, there’s hope.

Lu Mian asked bluntly, “Where can we get this thing?”

Listening to her tone, as if she would snatch it if she had to, Ya Ling’s red lips curled slightly, “Mian, calm down first.”

She sighed, “The RE Factor is extracted from a certain plant, which, as it happens, exists only in legend.

So, this RE Factor only exists in theoretical assumptions and hasn’t been actually developed by anyone.

It’s like the dragons from the ancient myths of Z Country.

You say it doesn’t exist, yet there are traces of its past presence.

You say it does exist, but us mortals have never laid eyes on it.”

Lu Mian, who had just glimpsed a ray of hope, was struck down again.

She glanced at Xiao Qimo subconsciously, remembering his treasured plant, cared for like his own child.

Could it be that watching her uncle lose his eyes was the only option?

“Mian, I’m also worried.

If such a miraculous RE Factor truly existed, Yixin’s hand could be fully restored.

With surgery alone, I can only restore about seventy percent of its original function.

I hope she could fully recover…”

“I’ll think of something.”

Lu Mian, weighed down with heavy thoughts, was about to hang up the phone and look up more information.

But Ya Ling called out from the other end, “Mian, don’t hang up yet.

After this important matter…

shouldn’t we talk about the abstract painting?”

Abstract painting.

Cough.

Lu Mian touched her forehead.

Ya Ling doggedly pursued, her tone fierce, “When did you start scamming me?

I trusted you, never doubting you…”

“Good Ya Ling…” Lu Mian soothed, “Don’t be angry, alright?

I only did it because he saved you…”

“He saved me, so you let me give myself to him in return?

You’ve saved me too, so shouldn’t I belong to you now?”

“…” Lu Mian stroked her chin, “That makes sense.”

“So what do you say we do?”

Lu Mian let out a light cough, feeling an unfriendly chill at her side, and quickly changed the subject.

“Good Ya Ling, let’s not be harsh on me, considering my mood is down…”

She unleashed her charm, her voice tender as if coquettishly pleading.

Ya Ling: …Damn it, I really can’t deal with Mian like this.

When Mian plays cutesy, you’d want to pluck the stars and moon for her!

Xiao Qimo: ?

Why is this girl only working her charm on women?

Wouldn’t it be nice to act coquettishly with him?

“I forgive you!” Ya Ling grumbled, then hung up.

Lu Mian had a narrow escape.

Joking aside, once the call was over, her thoughts returned to her uncle.

She fell into silence, her mood heavy.

She remembered the times when she read books with her uncle as a child, he would always say, “If only my eyes could see you…”

Then she would describe what she looked like to him.

Her uncle would shake his head and say it wasn’t the same, adding, “If my eyes were better, you wouldn’t have to work so hard.”

Lu Mian didn’t understand what he meant, perhaps her uncle felt teaching him to play the piano was troublesome, which is why he said that.

She deeply understood her uncle’s wish.

But at this moment, as the disease progressed, she was powerless.

She was not omnipotent after all, unable to even save a loved one’s eyes.

Sensing Lu Mian’s somber mood, Xiao Qimo touched her hair, “Don’t worry too much yet; it’s not like there’s no shred of a solution.”

Lu Mian lifted her head, her eyes lighting up, “Yes, you just mentioned the RE Factor.”

Xiao Qimo didn’t speak, arms crossed over his chest, slowly saying, “That’s classified information, can’t be disclosed lightly.”

He looked very serious.

But beneath his eyes, there was a hint of anticipation.

“Really can’t tell me?” Lu Mian felt a little disappointed; just as Xiao Qimo waited for her to act spoiled and cling to him, Lu Mian expressed great understanding, “I get it, I can’t make things difficult for you.

It’s fine, I’ll investigate it myself.”

If it was as Ya Ling said, and the RE Factor was so remarkable, it would cause a huge sensation in the medical community.

It was only natural that such a precious thing required utmost secrecy.

As Qimo’s girlfriend, of course, she understood and supported him.

Xiao Qimo: “…”

What an understanding, considerate, and gentle girlfriend!

Ah!

“Umm…” The refined man adjusted his glasses, hesitant to speak.

“Don’t worry, I won’t get mad, I’m not that type of person.”

“But you could set aside these principles and use your special identity to make me talk,” Xiao Qimo stressed, “Think about it carefully.”

Lu Mian stared into Xiao Qimo’s deep and honest eyes, free from any selfish intentions beneath his glasses, and shook her head earnestly.

“Director Qimo, that wouldn’t be right…”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” the man asked, filled with anticipation, “Don’t want to save your uncle anymore?”

Lu Mian closed her eyes, as if to gather her emotions, and after a long pause, with Xiao Qimo anxiously awaiting her response, she sighed.

“I can’t bring myself to do it.”

“…Do it?”

“Aren’t you just trying to make me tie you up and forcefully extract the information?

I really can’t do that!” She refused righteously.

Xiao Qimo: ???

I!

Never!

Said!

That!

He had lost; you can’t guess a straight woman’s thoughts, guess all you want and it would be off the mark of normal human reasoning!

She never stopped her playful antics!

Xiao Qimo, feeling choked up, turned away, thinking that he might as well be explicit, for a straight woman might never decipher his hints.

Just as the man pondered how to begin, Lu Mian softly called from behind him, “Director Qimo…”

That voice…

It was said in Cang Xue’s voice!

Xiao Qimo paused; the clear and ethereal voice belonging to Cang Xue continued from behind him.

“I can’t bear to lay a hand on you, but if it’s convenient, could you perhaps reveal a little about the direction of the investigation?

Qimo darling, please~~”

Xiao Qimo turned around swiftly, eyes darkly intense as he stared at the girl with blushing cheeks, speaking with her head lowered.

The voice was too sweet!

So sweet it made one want to taste it and find out what kind of divine mouth could produce such a sound.

He didn’t hesitate, his long fingers lifting her chin directly and planting a hot kiss on her lips.

Wife is just too cute, ahhh!

Lu Mian placed her hands on his chest, cheeks reddening even more as she pushed Xiao Qimo away, her almond-shaped eyes tinted with a hint of cunning.

She thought she was quite clever.

The shy girl smiled, tilting her head as she pursued, “Qimo darling, is that okay?”

Of course, of course.

I’d give you my life.

Xiao Qimo nodded mechanically, his health bar nearly depleted by cuteness; he opened up like a bamboo tube spilling beans.

“You remember that green plant of mine, right?”
