"Mr.Xu, this way, please," the doctor stood in front of Xu Shengyu as he led him towards a private hospital ward.
A few weeks ago, when Xu Shengyu had contacted him, telling him that he needed him for a surgery that would be an absolute secret, the doctor in his wildest imagination could not have guessed what Xu Shengyu would ask him to do.
But he was also a businessman, since the pay was good, he did what was asked of him.
He was also a smart person, so he knew what to say and not say.
Xu Shengyu's face was blank, not a single emotion could be seen in his eyes, but his heart was racing in anticipation.
He was already prepared for this, however, seeing that face again, the face that has haunted his life for some goddamn reason.....
Xu Shengyu forced himself to stop thinking about her.
She was already gone, and now there was someone else to replace her.
Everything would go as planned. It just had to.
The doctor led him to the elevator, and they got off on the highest level in the hospital.
There was just one room in this ward of the hospital, and there were no nurses around. Xu Shengyu had demanded absolute privacy, and for the money that he was paying, the doctor had arranged everything accordingly.
The stood at the entrance of the room.
The doctor pushed the door open. "She's inside," he said.
Xu Shengyu walked in, expecting to see the face that he was all too familiar with.
But the only thing he saw was a woman whose head was completely bandaged up, staring at him.
The only things visible were her eyes and mouth...and those eyes.....they were not the ones he remembered!
Xu Shengyu turned to the doctor.
"What is this, Doctor Park?" Xu Shengyu asked, with that same blank look on his face.
The doctor's heartbeat quickened. Although the Xu Shengyi didn't look angry, there was something about the man that scared him.
Maybe it was the way he stared at him, as if his eyes could poke poles through his body.
"Mr. Xu, we just performed the surgery. We...we have to wait for her face to heal before we can take off the bandages," The doctor explained, his voice a bit shaky.
Xu Shengyu looked away from him, but his heart wasn't settled just yet.
He had to make sure that everything had gone as planned.
There could not be any mistakes!
"Are you sure that the surgery was a success? She is going to look like that person completely, right?" Xu Shengyu finally spoke again, and this time, there was some emotion in his voice.
Perhaps it the way he spoke, Doctor Park could not figure it out.
"We did our best and we are..."
"Your best will not be enough here! I want to make sure that she looks exactly like that person! If there are any mistakes...." Xu Shengyu looked at the doctor threateningly as he said this.
His words, although not completed, were a threat.
And the doctor understood it perfectly well.
This was a job that had changed his life for good, but it was also one that was filled with danger.
"There's no need to make a big scene, Shengyu. Doctor Park is the best plastic surgeon in South Korea and even all of Asia. If he says that I'll look like her, then I definitely will!"
Xu Shengyu turned to the person who had spoken, he could tell that she was smiling from the way her mouth lifted.
"It had better be so," he said, his voice a bit calmer this time.
The doctor, realising that he was no longer needed, took his leave.
"I'll leave you both to talk," he said and walked out as quickly as he could.
"I have been awake for a week now. I almost thought that you would not come see me," Yan Hua's voice was dripping with sarcasm when she spoke.
Xu Shengyu approached her calmly.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
Yan Hua froze for a bit when he asked her this.
She wondered if Xu Shengyu suddenly cared about her.
No, this man was a cold bastard.
She did not think that he had the ability to feel any human emotions.
Perhaps,he had started to see her as Xia Mengqi?
"I am fine.. Since the doctor says that I can leave in a week, you should get back to arranging my schedule. My disappearance must have caused a big uproar. I want to get back to work as soon as I can," she said.
Xu Shengyu raised an eyebrow and frowned when he heard her say this.
It was obvious that she was referring to herself as Xia Mengqi now.
Although he was the one who planned all of this, Xu Shengyu felt uncomfortable about this.
He could not pinpoint what exactly made him uncomfortable, he just knew that he did not like the feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yan Hua stared at the blank look on his face, and once again, she could not tell what this person was thinking.
Did he suddenly have a change of heart? Was he going to take back what he had promised her?
"Your manager will arrange everything," Xu Shengyu finally replied.
Yan Hua looked away from him, She remembered that Xu Shengyu had always been fully involved in Xia Mengqi's career.
Was he not going to give her the same benefits?
Could it be that even after she changed her face, she could not fully become that person?
Yan Hua thought of something at that moment.
"Oh, right, we should get engaged as soon as possible. The internet is talking about the accident now, and we need something to divert their attention. Getting engaged would be perfect!"
Yan Hua sat sitll in anticipation as she waited for Xu Shengyu's answer.
She wanted everything that Xia Mengqi had, including her nan!
This was just her first step!
Xu Shengyu frowned. It was obvious that he did not like this idea.
"Why should I get engaged to you, Yan Hua?" He asked her.
"But you would not be getting engaged to me. You would be getting engaged to Xia Mengqi!"
