Romantic Medical Immortal

Chapter 133: The Affair Partner Is the ‘Son-in-Law’?

It’s gone!

At this moment, the mark on Xiao Yuqi’s face had completely vanished, and her skin looked even smoother than before, like a freshly peeled egg, so tender that it seemed a slight pinch would bring out water.

This effect is too miraculous, isn’t it?

Xu Yuexuan covered her mouth, standing to the side with a face full of shock, waves of astonishment surging in her heart.

As she got older, she had quite the experience in skincare, but she had never seen a beauty product with such abnormal results; it was simply a miraculous elixir.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Yuqi saw Xu Yuexuan’s face full of shock, and she asked in confusion.

Xu Yuexuan reacted quickly, immediately taking a small mirror from her handbag, placing it in front of Xiao Yuqi, and saying excitedly, "Daughter, look at the mirror."

Boom!!

Upon seeing herself in the mirror, Xiao Yuqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her eyes opened wide and round, and her heart was also filled with waves of astonishment.

It’s gone!

Completely gone.

She was utterly shocked, touching her own cheeks, feeling the smooth and delicate skin, and she felt a moment of disbelief; was this really her face? It was even smoother than a baby’s skin.

Who would have thought that Yang Chen had such a treasure!

If those cosmetic companies found out, wouldn’t they fight tooth and nail for it?

"Yang Chen, my face turned out this way, all thanks to the Beauty Cream in your hands?"

Coming back to her senses, Xiao Yuqi looked at Yang Chen and asked.

"Of course!"

Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders, smiling slightly, "When using the Beauty Cream, I didn’t do anything; it naturally relies on the Beauty Cream."

"This... this effect is too good."

Xiao Yuqi still felt a bit unreal; she turned her head towards the mirror, examining her own face carefully, and once she confirmed that the mark on her face had completely disappeared, she jumped up excitedly, and without saying a word, pounced into Yang Chen’s arms.

She even gave Yang Chen a big kiss on his cheek in front of Xu Yuexuan.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuexuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression instantly became strange. She knew her daughter’s character; generally, she wouldn’t be so intimate with a man in front of her family unless the two were close to a certain degree.

Could it be that the two are in a romantic relationship?

Thinking of this, Xu Yuexuan’s heart tightened. If they were indeed dating, didn’t she just serve her son-in-law with her mouth just now??

Cheating in itself was an absurd thing.

If the affair partner was the ’son-in-law,’ it would be downright ridiculous.

"Cough, cough!!"

Seeing the two hugging each other, Xu Yuexuan felt extremely awkward and immediately cleared her throat.

At this time, Xiao Yuqi also came to her senses. She immediately left Yang Chen’s embrace and then smiled awkwardly, saying, "Mom, I was just too happy. The birthmark on my face has finally completely disappeared."

"I understand, I understand!"

Xu Yuexuan first glanced at Yang Chen and then looked at Xiao Yuqi, asking, "Yu Qi, what is your relationship with Yang Chen?"

"Mom, we’re just friends!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuqi blushed slightly and immediately replied.

Though the two have already had a relationship, they hadn’t confirmed it; in her view, she and Yang Chen were still friends.

"Really?" Xu Yuexuan asked eagerly.

"Mom, we really are just friends; I kissed him just now because I was too excited, that’s all."

Seeing her mother’s remaining doubt, Xiao Yuqi quickly explained.

"Yang Chen, your say!"

Xu Yuexuan was very anxious and had to get to the bottom of it to confirm whether or not the two were in a relationship.

"Auntie, we really are just friends."

Yang Chen was clever enough to discern Xu Yuexuan’s concerns, and he spoke with a very serious expression.

"Phew!!"

After confirming that the two were not in a romantic relationship, Xu Yuexuan let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the weight in her heart finally settled.

Luckily, they weren’t a couple!

Otherwise, wouldn’t she be hooking up with her daughter’s man?

If that got out, she wouldn’t be able to lift her head for the rest of her life.

"Yang Chen, will my face relapse in the future?"

At this moment, Xiao Yuqi was completely filled with joy, not noticing her mother’s peculiarity; she turned her head to Yang Chen again, asking.

"Don’t worry, your face has fully healed and won’t relapse."

Yang Chen immediately reassured Xiao Yuqi.

"That’s good, that’s good!" Xiao Yuqi was so excited that she was at a loss for words, her body trembling.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Just at this moment, Xu Yuexuan’s phone rang. After finishing the call, she told the two, "You two keep chatting; I have some urgent matters to deal with. Xiao Yang, I won’t be accompanying you to dinner today; let’s have a meal together another day."

"Okay, Auntie." Yang Chen nodded.

"Mom, we haven’t talked about the Linglong Grass yet. Why do you suddenly have to go?"

After the surprise passed, Xiao Yuqi suddenly remembered Yang Chen’s purpose for coming this time and immediately said.

"Yu Qi, Auntie and I already talked it through. On the weekend, she’ll take me to purchase it."

Yang Chen quickly told Xiao Yuqi.

"That’s good." Xiao Yuqi nodded slightly, looking at Xu Yuexuan, saying, "Mom, then I’ll trouble you. Be sure to help Yang Chen find the Linglong Grass; the medicinal herbs are very important to him."

"Don’t worry, he healed your face; I will definitely do my best... Alright, I’m off!"

With that, Xu Yuexuan placed the mirror back into her handbag and immediately walked out of the pharmacy.

After leaving the Herbal Pavilion, she sat in the car, feeling very complicated in her heart. She could see that her daughter liked Yang Chen a lot. Even though they aren’t together now, there might be a day in the future when they really get together.

But she had already had a relationship with Yang Chen!

Yang Chen had also become her little lover.

The son-in-law is a little lover?

This... this relationship is completely messed up!!

"Sigh, how could such a bizarre thing happen to me,"

Xu Yuexuan sighed heavily, lying limply on the seat with a look of total distress.

...

In the office of the Herbal Pavilion!

Completely healed, Xiao Yuqi was very happy, dragging Yang Chen back to the office. She said, "Yang Chen, now that you’ve gotten the Gemfruit of the Twin Dragons, and you have a direction for the Linglong Grass, there are only two more types of herbs left to collect."

"No, still three kinds!"

Yang Chen’s face suddenly became serious, "I’m still missing a Thousand-Year Ginseng."

"What!!"

Xiao Yuqi was taken aback, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Our Xiao Family has been in the herbal business for so many years, and I’ve only heard my grandpa mention a Thousand-Year Ginseng once. It’s said to be held by a prominent family in Yanjing; how could there be any in Peach Blossom County? Even if there are, the price would be terrifying!"

"Then I’ll find it slowly!"

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said, "And no matter how expensive it is, I must get the Thousand-Year Ginseng."

He promised his stepmother and sister that he would cure his little sister’s illness, and no matter how difficult the path ahead, he would push forward.

Even if it means traveling the entire Hua Xia, he must find the Thousand-Year Ginseng.

"Alright, then I’ll inform the employees. If we get any leads on the Thousand-Year Ginseng or other herbs, I’ll notify you immediately."

Xiao Yuqi, seeing Yang Chen’s simple attitude, knew that the Thousand-Year Ginseng was very important to Yang Chen, and she didn’t say any more.

"Thank you!!"

Yang Chen expressed his heartfelt gratitude but then remembered something, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, "Yu Qi, there’s something I want to ask your help with."

"With our relationship, do you need to be so formal?"

Xiao Yuqi rolled her eyes charmingly at Yang Chen, "Whatever you need me to do, as long as I can, I’ll definitely help!"

"I want to borrow five million from you!"

Borrowing money from a woman felt very embarrassing for Yang Chen.

But now, there were only five days left before he needed to buy the Linglong Grass, and he worried that he couldn’t gather that much money, watching helplessly as it slipped away.

Besides, Xiao Yuqi was one of the few wealthy people he knew. He could only ask her.

Of course, he also knew Meng Yao, the Hall Master of the Qing Long Sect, who would definitely lend him the money if asked.

But Meng Yao had just lent him five million before, and as he still hadn’t found the method to make the ’Frostbite Pill’, he was too embarrassed to ask her.

"What do you need the money for?" Xiao Yuqi asked, puzzled.

"To buy herbs," Yang Chen replied, "I need to purchase herbs at the underground black market this weekend. Auntie told me the Linglong Grass would cost at least twenty million, but I only have ten million, so I want to borrow five million from you first!"

"I see, but you’re still short five million, and that’s not a small number!"

After hearing the reason, Xiao Yuqi looked seriously at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled, "No worries, there’s still a few days left; I’ll think of a way to gather the money."

Xiao Yuqi’s lips curled gently upward, "Yang Chen, if you agree to one thing for me, I can directly give you ten million without needing to pay back..."
