It was close to midnight when Lin Jie returned home to find An Kexin, Lin Miao, and Zhang Xiaoxiao still awake.

"Brother, come sit down, let me massage your shoulders and arms!"

Lin Jie sat on the sofa, enjoying Lin Miao's attentive service, and asked, "You're all still up at this hour; do you have something to say to me?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, yes, it's the weekend, right? We were thinking of going out to have some fun."

"Ah Jie, how about a yacht trip to watch the sunrise at sea?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll ask Guan Muhua to accompany you. An injured football star has arrived, and I need to determine his treatment plan."

He suddenly thought of something and said, "The weather forecast for these two days predicts rain, so you won't be able to see the sunrise."

Zhang Xiaoxiao glared at Lin Jie and said, "I was just casually suggesting it. I mainly want us to relax as a family. Don't nitpick."

An Kexin sat next to Lin Jie, wrapped her arms around his, and persuaded, "Ah Jie, I think Xiaoxiao's idea is really good."

"Besides, you've been busy since you got back from Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

"Tomorrow is another weekend; you should balance work and rest and take a day or two off."

Lin Jie patted An Kexin's hand and explained, "I've been busy because everything happened at once: Lin Xiaoxiao's surgery, Zhuang Shilei's surgery, and Ye Peihua's plan."

"After this busy period is over, I can take more time to be with you all."

Standing behind Lin Jie and massaging him, Lin Miao gave a worried look to Zhang Xiaoxiao across from her.

Zhang Xiaoxiao returned a helpless gaze.

At this moment, Lin Jie suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask me about Zhuang Shilei's surgery?"

"You've all met her; the right side of her face is stunning."

"Aren't you curious about what she'll look like after the plastic surgery?"

An Kexin hugged Lin Jie's arm forcefully, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Beautiful enough to captivate the world?"

"Not quite!"

Lin Jie replied earnestly, "Before, you could only see half her face."

"It seemed perfect, partly because of a mysterious and imperfect charm."

"Now that her left face is restored, that charm is gone, and perhaps many will scrutinize her with a critical eye."

Lin Jie said somewhat regretfully, "Although Zhuang Shilei is still very beautiful after her face is restored, she lacks that stunning, unforgettable beauty and has become somewhat ordinary."

Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled, covered half of her face with her hand, and asked, "Ah Jie, according to your logic, if I accidentally ruined half my face someday, would I also gain that stunning beauty?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and retorted, "Xiaoxiao, that kind of 'unforgettable charm' has a minimum threshold for looks."

"You're still quite far from that threshold."

"Lin Jie, are you itching for a beating?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao got angry, gritted her teeth, grabbed a cushion, and threw it at Lin Jie's head.

Lin Jie caught the flying cushion and asked the laughing An Kexin, "You mentioned hiring Cui Shanshan as a cosmetic surgery spokesperson. Did she agree?"

An Kexin stopped laughing and said, "She agreed, very quickly."

She added mysteriously, "Ah Jie, I bet Cui Shanshan is going to become famous soon."

Lin Miao curiously asked, "Famous? Is she becoming well-known because of a sex change?"

An Kexin shook her head and nodded, "That's partly it."

She further explained, "Isn't she doing image design for Yu Momo?"

"While accompanying Yu Momo on a show, she caught the eye of a program director who appreciates her design style."

"Especially after learning about her life story, the director plans to create a show for her called 'Beauty and the Beast Transformation,' focusing on makeup and personal image design."

"It's said that, for each episode, the director will invite an ordinary person and record their daily life."

"Cui Shanshan will then design a comprehensive image plan considering the person's looks, education, personality, work environment, and enhance them in makeup, hairstyle, dressing style, and accessories."

Lin Jie nodded in agreement, "This really tests a person's skill, which is what Cui Shanshan excels at. I think she will become famous."

He couldn't help but sigh, "That's the thing, people find opportunities hard to come by, but opportunities come to people easily."

"Miaomiao, how is Yu Momo doing now?"

Lin Miao lifted Lin Jie's right arm and massaged his forearm muscles, "She's practicing her physique and dance every day, preparing hard for the championship final in over a month."

Lin Jie murmured in acknowledgment, pressing Lin Miao's hand, "No more massages, I'll go take a shower first. It's humid and sticky after a busy day."

After Lin Jie went upstairs, the three women started whispering together.

An Kexin considered and said, "These few days, although A-Jie has been a bit busy, his spirits seem pretty good. I guess he's deliberately using work to forget that incident."

"I suggest that we don't show too much concern, or be too obvious about it, for now."

Lin Miao said worriedly, "I'm just afraid that after some time, my brother's body might not be able to take it."

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's only been a few days; let's wait a little longer. If A-Jie continues to work at such a high intensity, we can intervene then."

Having said that, she turned to Lin Miao and said, "Miaomiao, you should go back and rest. I have a few words to say to Kexin."

After seeing Lin Miao off, Zhang Xiaoxiao remained silent for a while. A touch of red crept up her cheeks, and she began, "Kexin, perhaps you've thought of this method, but I'll remind you anyway."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, go ahead!" An Kexin pretended to listen attentively.

Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to An Kexin and said, "Matters between husband and wife are the best way to relieve emotions, but A-Jie's body isn't suitable for too much or too frequent activities."

"So..."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao's meaningful gaze, An Kexin was somewhat bewildered and repeated, "So..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao, somewhat displeased, said, "You're a company CEO, how can you be so dim-witted now?"

"So, you need to focus on quality and make the effort."

Seeing An Kexin's serious demeanor, she felt it necessary to provide some detailed explanations.

"You need to learn some new things. Besides some new positions, there are also role-playing and pleasure games, among others, that you should learn and practice."

"If you really don't understand, I can download a few videos for you."

As a company CEO, An Kexin had dealt with all sorts of people and had developed a thick skin, but being taught such things by Zhang Xiaoxiao was still a bit embarrassing for her.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you don't need to worry about this; I'll figure it out myself."

Having said that, An Kexin ran towards the stairs...

Lin Jie walked out of the bathroom and saw An Kexin, in her pink pajamas, sitting on the bed hugging her legs with a dreamy expression on her face.

"What good thing are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

An Kexin snapped out of her daydream as if startled, glared at Lin Jie with feigned irritation, and huffed, "It's so late, I'll spare you tonight."

"Come here, let me feel your hair, see if it's dry."

Lin Jie threw himself onto the bed.

An Kexin reached out to feel his hair and said, "Your hair is still a bit damp; I'll use the hairdryer to dry it again!"

Lin Jie pulled her back onto the bed and said, "No need to bother. Chatting for a while, my hair will dry quickly."

"Is there any new news from Slophel?"

An Kexin hadn't intended to talk about this, but since Lin Jie brought it up, she had no choice but to say, "He said that the athlete has agreed to come to Binhai for treatment."

"They will plot a fake injury incident to get two or three weeks of rest time and then secretly come to Binhai."

"However, they have a requirement!"

Lin Jie rested his head on An Kexin's lap, lazily asking, "What requirement?"

An Kexin gently touched Lin Jie's ear and nose, speaking softly, "Since they're coming secretly and are worried about news leaking, they hope we'll arrange things to avoid the crowds as much as possible, so the media doesn't find out."

Lin Jie snorted, "He's a rugby player, not a basketball star. He doesn't have much fame domestically, so there's no need to worry about being mobbed or anything."

"Better safe than sorry. Nowadays, people are quick to post selfies on social media. If that guy gets recognized, it could cause quite a headache."

An Kexin sighed, "I really hope Anlin Hospital becomes operational soon."

"In our design, Anlin Hospital has a VIP passage to avoid outsiders and reach private luxury wards directly. The current Affiliated Hospital has too many people, too chaotic; there are a lot of things we can't control."

Hearing this, Lin Jie thought of a suitable place for treatment.

"Kexin, the Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital is located in a remote suburb, and the environment is nice. Plus, this athlete needs to go there for a CT scan, so why not arrange for the surgery to be done there?"

An Kexin nodded and said, "In the next couple of days, I'll personally investigate Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital and discuss with Dean Jin to see if it's feasible."

Lin Jie also reminded her, "Tell Slophel to expedite the matter."

"Remind him that a brain tumor grows day by day. If it gets too big, not only might it affect their performance after surgery, life might also be at risk."

An Kexin nodded and said, "I'll urge them on that."

She suddenly pinned Lin Jie's mischievous hand, murmuring, "Stop it! It's late. Don't you have to research a treatment plan tomorrow?"

Lin Jie snickered, "I can sleep in a bit tomorrow..."

An Kexin bit her lip, her face flushing red. She pinned down a turning Lin Jie, "Stay still, this time let me..."
