Chapter 1424: Chapter 1421: What Are You Hiding, Guan Si?

Seeing Qiao Muyun’s expression actually made Li Yaxuan especially interested.

"Drink up, it’s a pure liquor, quite tasty!" Li Yaxuan couldn’t help but urge.

Qiao Muyun glanced at him. He didn’t hurry to bring it to his lips.

"Oh come on! Mr. Xu, you don’t think I’d poison it, do you?" Li Yaxuan laughed brightly.

Damn! Hearing this, Qiao Muyun couldn’t help but feel anger rise up, picked up the cup, tilted his head back, and drank it. Then he placed the cup on the table beside him.

"What’s your game, Zi Ruoxi... no, it’s Yi Bing, what’s wrong with her face, to what extent can it be restored?" Qiao Muyun asked not quite patiently. He really wasn’t interested in the person in front of him.

The other wasn’t in a hurry, sipping his wine leisurely.

Suddenly.

"Ha ha, she must have been beautiful before!" Li Yaxuan remarked, seemingly in admiration. Then, seeing Qiao Muyun’s rather awkward expression, as if recalling a distasteful past, he smiled lightly, took a sip of wine, and continued leisurely, "Her features are very well-defined, her contour is accurate in size, but both her cheeks and jaw were burned. If..." He stopped mid-sentence, teasingly looking at Qiao Muyun.

"If what?" Qiao Muyun asked, his deep green eyes puzzled, not fully understanding his implication.

Li Yaxuan smiled calmly, with a clean and refreshing face blushing lightly after drinking.

"What I mean is, if I did the surgery, I’d make her as perfect as she once was." Li Yaxuan said gracefully.

"Really?!" Qiao Muyun responded immediately, eyes lighting up.

But, this made Li Yaxuan feel a bit displeased.

"You don’t believe in my skills?" Li Yaxuan asked arrogantly. His slightly flushed, handsome face showing a seductive intoxication.

"No." Qiao Muyun answered. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say. He just felt that if this person could restore Zi Ruoxi, that would be wonderful.

Silence, the air grew still.

The room had one more person, but Qiao Muyun didn’t feel uncomfortable, seeing Li Yaxuan still elegantly sipping his wine with no intention of leaving. But now, he couldn’t rush him, so he leisurely sat in the chair, crossed his legs, took a cigarette from the table, lit it, and exhaled in a cloud.

Seeing Qiao Muyun now, Li Yaxuan squinted his eyes in amazement, wow, wrapped in a kimono, long hair draping over his shoulders, fingers curling in mist... like a fairy from a painting! So alluring, so sexy! Unexpectedly, Qiao Muyun smoking was so enticing, he immediately thought how wonderful it would be to have such a lover!

The two continued in silence, each minding their own business, not knowing how much time passed.

"An Yibing, she’s your lover, isn’t she? Do you love her very much?" Li Yaxuan asked.

At this question, Qiao Muyun felt some disgust. He hated people prying into his private life. Especially someone he had no affection for.

"None of your business!" Qiao Muyun replied impatiently, then, realizing his attitude might have been hurtful, indifferently added, "Doctor Li, this has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Li Yaxuan listened without feeling angry. The other’s surly attitude hadn’t changed since they met on the plane.

"Mr. Xu, you seem to be looking at people with tinted glasses! That’s not fair to me!" Li Yaxuan said calmly, with an undertone of hidden currents in the seemingly tranquil voice.

"..." Qiao Muyun didn’t respond, feeling a bit awkward. After a pause, he finally said, "Sorry, that’s just how I am."

"Oh... is that so." Li Yaxuan echoed the tone, suddenly smiled, thinking to himself, I like you just the way you are. Actually, he wanted to say it, but saying such words might scare the other person off. So, to capture a handsome guy, one can’t be too straightforward.

Seeing Li Yaxuan just lightly pressing his lips together and smiling at him, Qiao Muyun couldn’t help but feel hairs stand on end, Damn it! That guy, smiling for what!

Unable to sit still, he prepared to speak and issue a command for the guest to leave.

Unexpectedly, the other spoke first.

"Yi Bing... Zi Ruoxi... Zi Ruoxi..." Li Yaxuan instinctively mumbled the name. Then, with playful eyes looking at Qiao Muyun’s enchanting appearance, he commented, seemingly smiling, "This name seems... very familiar."

As soon as the words dropped, Qiao Muyun was startled.

"..." Qiao Muyun didn’t respond, but clearly, his face was shrouded in gloom.

"She seems to have the same name as the girlfriend of a CEO from an American aristocratic family, ha ha. Coincidentally, she was rumored to be disfigured out of revenge..." Li Yaxuan spoke slowly, his indifferent tone floating across the air, instantly raising Qiao Muyun’s alertness. After glancing at him, Li Yaxuan continued, "Ha ha, Mr. Xu, coincidentally, that flight was also coming from America... isn’t this proof of something?" Li Yaxuan finished speaking, playfully pursing his lips at him.

Qiao Muyun fell silent for a long time. Unexpectedly, the other had already guessed who they were. Should he admit that Zi Ruoxi is indeed the person the other mentioned?

"Does it prove anything related to you?" Qiao Muyun asked, staring sharply at the other. Then, asking directly, "What’s your purpose?"

"Ha ha, what’s my purpose? Mr. Xu, that’s quite amusing." Li Yaxuan chuckled, saying, "I’m kindly reminding you all, that... Zi Ruoxi’s matter seems not to be a secret, and in the week before this, I received an invitation call from the American Association of Plastic Surgery, saying they wanted to perform surgery on a woman disfigured by acid and hoped for technical assistance from us here, and sent her previous photos via email. At the time, I found it strange, that it was just plastic surgery, why go to such lengths? After several inquiries, I learned that this woman named Zi Ruoxi’s identity was quite special, with deep ties to a local aristocratic family..." At this point, Li Yaxuan paused, looking towards Qiao Muyun.

"So, you heard our conversation on the plane and approached us. You revealed your identity, gradually making us lower our guard, to get information about Zi Ruoxi, right?" Qiao Muyun’s voice was a bit cold.

"Mr. Xu, I think you must be misunderstanding." Li Yaxuan explained slightly, then slyly smiled, "At the time, I was curious about why this woman was on the plane?" Not finishing his sentence, Qiao Muyun showed signs of impatience.

"And now? Are you not curious anymore? What have you done behind our backs, Doctor Li, Li Yaxuan, minding others’ business, you’d better do less of." Qiao Muyun said angrily.
