Chapter 539: 252 Touching Bones (Second Watch)
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Let’s eat, so we have the energy to continue shopping.”
Ming Jing took a slice of potato without dipping it in any sauce and ate it plain.
Nana was dumbfounded, looking at the red soup next to her with various large pieces of fish and meat emanating a mouth-watering aroma, but Ming Jing remained unmoved.
Inwardly, her admiration for Ming Jing grew a bit more.
“Qin Qiuxi just mentioned that there’s a party for Bo Yuxun in a few days? How come I didn’t hear about it? I’ll call and ask.” Nana suddenly remembered, took out her phone, and called Bo Yujiang.
“What’s the deal with Bo Yuxun’s party? Do you know about it?”
A gentle female voice came over the phone, “That day happens to be my second brother’s and my birthday. So, White Brother and the others decided to organize a joint birthday party for us, and it also serves as a welcome party for my second brother. He doesn’t like crowded places, so it’s just a few of his friends, classmates, and our family, a simple celebration. If you have time that day, you should come.”
“I definitely won’t miss this. After all, all the ladies in Jingzhou want to marry the second young master of the Bo family. I want to see him too.”
Nana glanced at Ming Jing, “Would you mind if I bring someone along?”
“Of course not, the more the merrier. I have to go now, but if you decide to come, contact me in advance, and I will have someone pick you both up.”
“No need, I’ll drive.”
Nana hung up the phone, and after some thought, she asked, “You’ll be done with your exam on the 15th, right?”
Ming Jing nodded, took out a napkin, and slowly wiped her mouth before taking a sip of water.
She had finished everything she ordered, but her plate was still clean and spotless.
“Perfect timing. I’ll take you that night to broaden your horizons. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”
Ming Jing said, “Is it at the Bo’s?”
“You know Yujaing, Bo Lianye’s aunt, whom we met outside the auditorium. Her second brother is coming back from abroad. Speaking of him, he’s quite accomplished…” Nana started to praise him non-stop.
She praised him for a full three minutes.
Ming Jing laughed, “Bo Yuxun?”
Nana was surprised, “You know him?”
“I saw his name on the honor board at Foreign Language High School that day. The last name Bo is quite uncommon, so it must be him.”
“That’s right, it’s him…” Nana realized something and stealthily glanced at Ming Jing, who didn’t seem to make any other associations. Nana sighed in relief.
“He and A Jiang are twins, and the 15th is their birthday. The party also serves as his welcome event. We can go and join the fun together.”
Ming Jing laughed, “Should I really go…? Is that appropriate?”
“What’s inappropriate? A Jiang is my best friend, so my friends are naturally her friends too. There’s no need to be so formal. I’ll take you shopping later and pick out a dress for you. I may not be able to upstage everyone, but with you there, Qin Qiuxi won’t stand a chance of taking the limelight either.”
The two continued shopping after their meal. Ming Jing didn’t accept the dress Nana wanted to buy for her. Nana noticed that Ming Jing’s clothes seemed to be custom-made, so she didn’t insist on buying her anything from ordinary brands.
When they grew tired, they went into a milk tea shop to rest.
Finally, Li Susu called her, saying that Dr. Liu had finished with a client and now had time.
Nana sneered, “I want to see what Dr. Liu can do to make me wait this long. If he can’t satisfy me, I’ll trash his store.” After saying so, she stormed off angrily.
The driver came to take away the items Nana bought, and Ming Jing followed her.
As they exited the elevator, a man walked into another elevator nearby. They brushed past each other.
Ming Jing hesitated for a moment and turned back to look.
The elevator door slowly closed.
Caught off-guard by Ming Jing suddenly looking back, the man lowered his head and hid his face under the brim of his cap.
Ming Jing narrowed her eyes, and the elevator door finally sealed, blocking the man’s figure from view.
She turned back thoughtfully, and Li Susu greeted them with a sweet smile.
It seemed that she had just sent off her previous client and was directly receiving them now.”Two guests, please come in. Dr. Liu has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Li Susu pushed open the office door, and Nana walked in with her high heels, only to see a huge desk by the floor-to-ceiling window covered in various facial models. At first glance, it was quite startling.
There seemed to be someone sitting in a chair with their back to the door.
Nana tentatively asked, “Dr. Liu?”
The chair turned around, and a pair of slender legs were propped on the table. The young girl grinned and said, “Surprise or not, I bet you didn’t expect this!”
It turned out to be Liu Muxue.
Nana laughed, “How come you are here?”
Liu Muxue snorted, glared at Ming Jing, and said, “You didn’t call me when you went out, but I figured you guys would come here, so I decided to wait.”
Nana asked, “Where is your cousin, Dr. Liu?”
Liu Muxue glanced at the door to the left, “He went to change clothes.”
Seemingly remembering something, Liu Muxue suddenly jumped up, grabbed Ming Jing’s hand, and said, “Let’s go quickly, it’ll be terrible if my brother sees us.”
Li Susu laughed from the sideline.
Liu Muxue glared at her, “What are you laughing at?”
Li Susu said, “Miss Liu, do you have some misunderstandings about Dr. Liu?”
Liu Muxue put her hands on her waist and snorted, “What misunderstandings could I have? He’s an old lecher, and you all treat him like a treasure.”
“Who’s calling me an old lecher?” A playful and amused voice came from inside the door, carrying a hint of flirtation with it.
The door opened, and a tall, thin figure walked out.
Scum with a tin foil perm, a flirtatious red suit, and a pale face – all the right ingredients were there.
Nana sized up Liu Suifeng. In real life, he was tall and thin, dressed in a casual suit with a white T-shirt inside. What was even more flirtatious was the deep neckline of the white T-shirt, which couldn’t cover his toned muscles – clearly a fitness-loving pretty boy.
The real person looked much more lively than in the photos and seemed very young – barely over twenty.
Could he be reliable at such a young age?
Liu Suifeng’s gaze was like an X-ray, first checking out Nana’s face and then shaking his head, “My goodness, who did this to you? What a perfectly good face they’ve ruined.”
Liu Suifeng walked over, grabbed Nana’s face with both hands, looked left and right. His fascinated and enthusiastic eyes made Nana’s skin crawl.
“The double eyelids they put in are like a car accident scene. The material used in the nose is wrong -it’s transparent but not breathable. In the long run, the implant will die and have to be removed…”
Nana’s heart skipped a beat, “Don’t scare me.”
Li Susu handed over a stack of photos very timely, “Dr. Liu didn’t lie to you. Now many unqualified doctors perform surgeries for money, causing a lot of harm to women. Take a look at these failed surgery photos, and while it’s natural for women to want beauty, it’s not worth turning into a lifelong nightmare.”
The photos were all examples of failed plastic surgery, and the faces could no longer be described as a car accident scene.
“Ugh…” The thought of becoming like that nearly made Nana vomit.
Liu Suifeng snapped his fingers, “You’re lucky to have met me. I’ll make you more and more beautiful – believe me.”
Without hesitation, Nana chose to trust him, “Dr. Liu, please perform the surgery for me, no matter how much it costs.”
“Don’t rush…” Liu Suifeng’s gaze fell on Ming Jing, his eyes suddenly brightened.
“This face…it’s too perfect.” Liu Suifeng exclaimed.
He strode over in three steps, his gaze fixed on Ming Jing’s face, from her hairline to her eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and jawline. His eyes were like X-rays, not missing any inch of her face.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Ming Jing’s elbow. Ming Jing’s eyes narrowed, but his hand was fast, sliding from her elbow to her shoulders in an instant, then quickly retreated, his eyes flickered and shook his head, “It’s a pity, though, that she’s too young, like a budding flower, waiting to bloom. On that day, she will be impossibly beautiful and alluring.”
Liu Muxue and Nana were both dumbfounded by Liu Suifeng’s sudden move. Was this harassment?
Only Li Susu remained calm, as if she was used to it.
Ming Jing squinted, “Dr. Liu, what are you doing?”
It turned out that Liu Suifeng was extraordinary, he could even sense the bones, and probably had figured out her age.
