Upon hearing this, Mingyun felt a little nauseous, and a hint of disgust surfaced in her eyes.

Qin Pinsen became more and more proud as he spoke, "So I continued to show you my affection, and to my surprise, it worked remarkably well. On the day of the graduation ceremony, a fire broke out, and you actually risked your life to rush into the fire to save me. That feeling... that you used to ignore me, but later you were willing to go through fire and water for me, really made me feel a great sense of accomplishment."

"Hehe, you're really great." Mingyun felt increasingly nauseous.

Even though I had completely demystified this man, hearing him say these things firsthand and clearly sensing that he was only doing it for his own so-called sense of accomplishment made me feel even more disgusted with him.

"You flatter me, I've always been great," Qin Pinsen said, completely oblivious to the sarcasm in the remark. "It's just a pity that when you started treating me well and even threw yourself at me, I felt like you lost your charm in my eyes. In comparison, I found that I still prefer women like He Ya, women who... I can't resist."

"Stop...that's enough..." Mingyun's face turned pale. "If you say any more, I'm really going to throw up."

Purely physiological nausea made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

A wave of nausea surged from her stomach straight to her head, and she was genuinely afraid she would vomit in public.

"Heh, still jealous." Qin Pinsen said smugly.

Mingyun covered her mouth and turned away, not wanting to look at him again.

This was one of the few times in many years that I had a relatively in-depth conversation with him.

As a result, it made her feel even more disgusted.

Fortunately, because Qin Pinsen arrived early, there weren't many people ahead of him in line to register for divorce.

By the time Qin Pinsen finished boasting about those things, it was already his and Mingyun's turn.

The application process is quite simple.

The two of them had prepared all the necessary materials.

The registration was completed in no time.

The staff informed them that there would be a 30-day cooling-off period starting immediately. After the cooling-off period, if both parties arrive on time and are certain they want to divorce, then the divorce will be considered complete.

Mingyun put away her documents and turned to leave.

She didn't want to spend another second with Qin Pinsen.

Qin Pinsen felt refreshed and quickly walked out of the marriage registration hall, hurriedly calling He Ya.

"Ya'er! I have great news for you! I just completed my divorce registration! Hahaha!"

"real?"

"Absolutely true! In just thirty days, I'll break up with her!"

"Waaaaah! This is great! Five years... I've waited five years! Finally... Waaaaah..."

Hearing He Ya's choked voice on the phone, Qin Pinsen gently comforted her, "Ya'er, we've finally overcome all our hardships. You can finally be my wife. I will treat you and our son well for the rest of my life and make it up to you."

The two of them were in high spirits.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mingyun felt more relaxed and happy than ever before.

Although there was still a 30-day cooling-off period, she already had a feeling that she was about to escape the quagmire and start a brand new life.

This is really great.

That evening, Huihui was taken into the operating room at the plastic surgery hospital.

Mingyun, also as an assistant, followed a chief physician from the hospital who was an old friend of Shangguan Rong and knew her true situation into the operating room.

After being anesthetized, Huihui quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Immediately afterwards, Mingyun, as the chief surgeon, began the operation.

The chief physician who covered for her became her assistant, helping her from the sidelines.

Time passed second by second.

Li Xi waited outside the operating room the whole time.

By 8 p.m., the surgery had been going on for over an hour.

Shangguan Rong arrived with Tianheng.

"Uncle Li Xi, I'm here to keep you and Huihui company." Tianheng greeted them, holding an exquisite gift box in both hands.

Li Xi's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Tianheng..."

Shangguan Rong noticed his anxiety and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, with my best disciple personally handling things, I guarantee I can give you back a beautiful daughter."

These words were like a stabilizing force, calming Li Xi's anxious and uneasy heart considerably.

Three hours passed quickly.

During this time, neither Shangguan Rong nor Tian Heng left.

Li Xi started to feel uneasy again, "Dean Shangguan, what's wrong... isn't the surgery over yet? It's been over four hours..."

Over the past few years, he has taken his daughter to undergo numerous cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, both major and minor.

It might take about two hours to complete if it's done quickly.

Even the slower ones didn't take more than four hours.

Shangguan Rong understood his emotions and patiently explained, "Xiao Yun isn't doing local repairs; she wants to gradually restore Huihui's entire face to its original state. This requires extremely high skill and patience, and it will also take a long time. Besides, Huihui..."

Considering Tianheng's presence, Shangguan Rong paused and didn't finish her sentence.

But Li Xi knew what Shangguan Rong meant without saying it aloud.

After all, he had communicated with Shangguan Rong in detail before the surgery.

Li Xi sighed, lowered her head, clenched her hands together, and silently prayed in her heart.

The surgery took longer than expected.

It wasn't until after 5 a.m. the next day.

The indicator light outside the operating room door lit up, and the door slowly opened.

Having not left the doorway all night and not slept a wink, Li Xi suddenly stood up, clenching her hands tightly, staring at the operating room door, holding her breath, her heartbeat seemingly paused in that instant.

Then, Mingyun helped the chief physician slowly walk out.

Li Xi hurriedly went to greet them.

Shangguan Rong also stayed here without sleeping. In the middle of the night, Tianheng was so sleepy but didn't want to leave, so she let him sleep on the bench outside the operating room.

Seeing that the surgery was over, she quickly got up.

The old lady sat for a long time and suddenly stood up. Her vision blurred and she almost fell. She steadied herself by holding onto the wall before taking a step.

"How are you?" Li Xi asked cautiously, her eyes bulging with dark circles, as she helped support the chief physician and Mingyun.

The surgery lasted nearly twelve hours.

There were no breaks during that time.

The chief physician, who is over fifty years old, is still just an assistant to Mingyun, the actual surgeon, in the operating room. Now, even his legs are trembling, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak.

She still needed Mingyun to support her.

As for Mingyun, she is younger and in better condition.

"The surgery... was a complete success." She said this with a smile, though she looked exhausted.

"Thank you, thank God!" Li Xi felt light as a feather at that moment, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Shangguan Rong walked over at this moment, quickly took out two vials of glucose solution from her pocket, deftly broke them apart, and handed them to Mingyun and the chief physician.

Mingyun finished the drink in one gulp.

The chief physician couldn't even lift his arm, and it was only with Li Xi's help that he was able to drink one bottle.

Subsequently, the nurses arranged by Shangguan Rong arrived and took the chief physician to rest.

"The anesthesiologist is waiting for Huihui to wake up," Mingyun said weakly. "Once everything is settled, she'll be moved to a private room. Don't worry, Brother Xi... I've fixed her face..."

"You should go and rest too!" Shangguan Rong urged, supporting her.

Mingyun then went to the lounge.

Afterwards, I changed out of my surgical gown in a special changing room; my underwear was so wet I could wring water out of it.

I stood for nearly twelve hours straight, and was under constant mental strain.

This is a huge drain on both energy and physical strength.

She forced herself to clean up and then drank some energy drinks.

Then he sat down in a chair, intending to catch his breath.

In less than two seconds, he fell asleep sitting there...
