2022-03-22 00:13:17In the private ward of the Long Medical Hospital, Li Chen listlessly sat outside the ICU. The middle-aged man's usual refined and cool aura was nowhere to be found.
In its place was a despondent and oppressive aura surrounding an anxious, haggard man.
At this time, the man sitting on the bench wasn't the New World Formation's greatest businessman, but a worried and frightened father on the brink of collapse.
Clenching his fists until they were stark white, Li Chen's unwavering gaze remained fixed on the ICU room.
"Uncle Li, nothing will happen to Qing Yue. She was so brave and selfless, risking her own life to save a little kid. Someone so brave and selfless won't leave without a fight."
"Tian Tian is right, Bother Li. Nothing will happen to Qing Qing. You...you need to look after your own health. For the past two days, you haven't moved from this spot. If you fall ill, then how will you take care of Qing Qing when she wakes up?" Long Hongwu w

"In the afternoon today around 1 pm, there was a hover crash at City Orphanage. In this crash, the only daughter of businessman Li Chen, Li Qing Yue, is reported to be fatally injured. Our sources report the young girl risked her life to save that of a five-year-old. At the moment, she is admitted to Long Medical Hospital, and her situation is unclear. Citizens of LiLong Country, let's all pray together for the recovery of this brave, young girl. She..." "Ha! Li Qing Yue is dying!?" With a click, the TeleSec line went dark. In the silent atmosphere, the joyous excitement in Yei Yi's voice couldn't be concealed. "She's dying! She's dying! Haha...Li Qing Yue...go in peace!" If she could, Yei Yi wanted to say these words over the girl's dead body. Unfortunately, she got the news too late. If she went to Long Medical Hospital right now, Li Chen wouldn't so much as blink at her. And that's why she both admired and hated him. She hated how he saw an

"That...we..." Taking a big gulp, Dr. Ren wiped his sweat and decisively closed his eyes. "We did our best to save the patient. But she's still unconscious. As of now, we can't make any statement on her condition. We need to keep her under observation for another day." Having gotten everything out in one breath, the doctor's shoulders sagged in relief. There. He said all he needed to say. From here, they can do whatever they want. Drained by the pressure of the two gods and tried from treating the girl's horrific condition, Dr. Ren passed out before Long Hongwu or Li Chen could react. "This...!" Chief Physician Mu was rendered speechless. The doctor in charge of the buddha's treatment had passed out. Under this situation, what was he supposed to do? "Dr. Ren!" The nurses and physician assistants cried out in shock and held the man's falling figure. They didn't despise him for his feeble heart. Because they under

The man was frozen stiff, not knowing where to begin.She woke up just like...that?What now?He was worried when she was unconscious.Anxious when he heard the physician's report.Now he felt conflicted.Was this her acceptance to his promise?Qing Yue was still fuming at Li Feng in her mind when she heard the deep voice of a man beside her. She blinked once, twice, before slowly turning her head.Bandaged like a mummy from head to toe, her movements were anything but flexible and painless. But Qing Yue ignored the numbing pain spreading through her body and fixed her sight on the figure.What entered her sight was a blue slim fit suit wrapped around a tall, well-defined, figure. Her gaze lifted up, but as her body was stiff from the many wrappings, her sight only caught his defined jaw and thin, firm lips."You...who are...you?" Da**! Why did she sound like an 80-year-old lady?Did...did the smoke damage
Thrilling Storm Disabled, Disfigured 2
"Commander Long, Young Master Long, and Mr. Li...I'm sorry to say this, but...Young Mistress Qing Yue won't be able to stand on her feet anymore. Moreover, the injury on her face...she's likely to be...disfigured for life." The moment Dr. Ren finished his speech, he sighed in relief and weakly slumped against the wall. Speaking to these gods was draining. And yet, he still needed to preserve his strength to face their wrath. To face such a catastrophe, his good fortune for this life must've run out. The three men were frozen stiff. There wasn't a trace of emotion to be found on their faces. But their vacant and dazed eyes spoke volumes of their state of mind. "What...did you say?" The first to return to his senses was Commander Long. Grinded by war and gore, the matter of disability and disfigurement, though devastating, didn't hit him as an earth-shattering news. "Qing Qing will never be able to walk again? She'll be disfigured for life? Are you saying the advancement in med
Thrilling Storm But Not Discouraged
The soul shuddering wails even made her tremble in dread. To produce such horrific wails, what kind of agonizing pain was she experiencing? The ward swung open and a frantic Long Tian, Li Chen, and Long Hongwu were ushered out. "Dr. Ren, what's going on? Why is Yue'er screaming?" Li Chen was close to collapsing from grief. When had his beloved daughter ever wailed like this? As far as he could remember, Li Qing Yue had never cried after her first birthday. "Mr. Li, don't worry. The pain-relief medication we'd administered must've run out. After changing medication, she'll calm down." "You're telling me you didn't change her medication on time? What kind of professionalism is this? You yourself said her injuries are grave. So how can you forget to monitor her medication?" Long Tian was enraged. The girl's wails were anything but humane. Harsh, jarring, and heart-rending, the sound made even his heart tremble.
Thrilling Storm But Not Discouraged 2
Qing Yue blinked. Never walk again? Disfigured for life? This must've been what Li Feng meant when he said she could regain her original appearance. Sigh. I wonder how long the process will take... Seeing her expression remain as impassive as before Long Hongwu revealed the news, the three men in the room tensed up. It couldn't be the news was too huge of a blow for her to react, right? At this thought, they felt even more anxious. "Qing Qing, don't worry. Uncle Long will find all the best medical doctors in the country to help you. You'll be better in no time." "Yes, Yue'er. If necessary, we'll even fly in a foreign specialist to treat you. So don't feel depressed. You'll be better in no time." "You'll probably feel hopeless and discouraged because the treatment will not be easy. It will even be painful. But we'll be with you. As long as you don't give up, there's hope." Qing Yue returned to her senses
Thrilling Storm Signing The Marriage Certificate
Once again, the men in the room were shocked speechless. Qing Yue's words were like a clap of thunder. That's right. Unless one gave the words of others great importance, at the end of the day, they were nothing more than mere air blowing through their ear. The people in the room knew this. But it wasn't until they heard Qing Yue say it that they saw the light. In this society where the new generation placed high importance on others' opinions and views of them, it was difficult to maintain a mindset where they could brush off and not allow themselves to be affected by any unpleasant comment or remark. So Qing Yue's words made the mean feel refreshed and ashamed of their own shortsightedness. Rather than give importance to what others thought, they should reflect more on themselves. "Qing Qing, Uncle Long has nothing else to say. I can see that you are more clear-minded about what's important than us, so I'll stop worrying needlessly.
Thrilling Storm Signing The Marriage Certificate 2
The three men's sight instantly shifted to the girl. Finding her expression as impassive and expressionless as before, they secretly sighed in relief. It's good she isn't affected... The next moment, their gazes turned cold. They weren't born yesterday so how could they miss the malice and scorn in the three women's tone? They hadn't come to see a patient. They came to mock and ridicule the girl until she broke and shattered and could no longer get back on her feet. "Sisters-in-law, that's enough. Yue'er isn't in the condition for this sort of talks." Li Chen's voice held faint hints of anger. If they weren't his brothers wives, he would've directly kicked them out. But whether the three middle-aged women failed to catch his barely restrained anger or purposely ignored it was unknown. Because they disregarded his words and continued their rant. Aunt Hong turned to Li Chen with a sad and pained expression on her

Apology 4
At this moment, Long Tian wasn't feeling well. He believed in his wife's abilities and sensed she probably created a new record from the eager expressions of the group in the office. But this made him keenly aware of their impending separation. The fact that the woman responsible for his current state of mind was unaware of his misery only made the matter worse. 'Yue'er doesn't understand my fears and apprehensions. There's nothing I can do to convince her to return to the Long Mansion with me...' Brimming with frustration and helplessness, Long Tian pushed his wife to the only desk in the room and faced the group of eight. "Young...Young Master Long, we..." "You must be from the Board of Education and the Department of Education. We don't have all day. So make this quick." The expressions of the eight individuals turned ugly. They didn't expect Young Master Long to be so overbearing and dismissive of them. Even though it was said they came to apologize for the two education de
Apology 3
Early the next morning, after completing her regular treatment, Qing Yue began packing. Swishh! "Young Madam, these are your seasonal clothes and your uniform. I already packed and transferred your undergarments and bathroom necessities." The RoboCare spun to a stop before her. "Thank you..." Qing Yue named all the RoboCares and daily helping bots at Li Mansion. However, the ones at Long Mansion didn't seem to have a name. She didn't want to take it upon herself to name the care bots that helped her and Long Tian alone. But bringing up the topic to the man was a little...embarrassing. Stuck in an impasse, she had no choice but to postpone the matter. 'I'll bring it up to Long Tian after I return.' "Yue'er, the University called. Your results are out and we need to leave now." Long Tian's deep, magnetic voice resounded from the room and caused her to tense. Qing Yue looked around the walk-in closet and hesitated. 'He...he won't like this.' She sighed, steeled her heart, and wh
Apology 2
'What was that?' Qing Yue's eyes clouded as she recalled what she saw. The fact that she was having a nightmare even during the daytime now didn't bother her as much as the scene that followed the descent of the acid rain. "Li Feng, what's going on?" She asked through their mind link. "Saintess, there's not much time. You need to leave this Long Mansion to become strong enough to face the future. At the moment, that's all I can tell you. The rest depends on you and your decision." Li Feng sighed. What's to come will come. The only difference will be how you will face it. Saintess, everything is in your hands now. Qing Yue absentmindedly gazed at her clenched hands, her mind repeating the words of the spirit. 'Not much time? So that horrid image...' She shivered when the image resurfaced in her mind again. She didn't have much time, that much she understood. She raised her head and held her husband's gaze. "Yue'er, what's wrong?" Long Tian felt unsettled. He had never seen such
Apology
With her exam out of the way, Qing Yue felt more relaxed.She left the white room in a good mood and found her husband."Done?""Um! I'm done. Long Tian, I...I want to live on campus." Qing Yue didn't have the confidence to bring up this topic before. But now that she knew there would not be any problem with her admission, she decided to break this news to her husband.It was time for her to experience life outside of her father and her husband's shelter."Live on Campus!? Yue'er...you!" Long Tian was caught off guard.He wasn't expecting to hear something like this from his wife. They had only become close recently. He was looking forward to spending more time with her to deepen their bond.But she wanted to live on campus? Did she not like his advances?At this thought, Long Tian became nervous.He didn't want his wife to live outside of Long Mansion because of his actions."Yue'er, is it...is it because o
Re-Examination 2
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement, causing Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal. Even after looking at herself in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My face was horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who had told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this moment, she was certain they'd faint from a heart attack. Qing Yue he
Re-Examination 1
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult. What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath! "Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really. But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze. "You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked. "Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough." "Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances. But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile. They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time
First Kiss 2
"Brother Tian..." "Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap." "Huh?" What the he**! What was going on!? Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming. "Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt his body tense. This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband. She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed? "Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it. "Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife." The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across hi
First Kiss 1
Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed. The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver. Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them. Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips. But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue. This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect. He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart. Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and ye

"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reas
