Chapter 577: Chapter 576: Really Getting Carried Away

On the way back to Zuimo Court, Feng Jian, who was driving, asked if he should look into the backgrounds of Guan Zhe and his two companions.

Yan Feifan contemptuously said it wasn’t necessary.

"They’re just a few arrogant, spoiled brats. If they want to mess with me, they’ll surely do a background check on me first."

"I refuse to believe that after they find out who I am, they’ll still be able to treat me like a nobody."

Yu Suye quickly chimed in, "As soon as they look you up, they’re going to be shocked. They’ll feel like they’ve messed with a titan. They might even show up at our door tomorrow to offer a groveling apology."

Yan Feifan hmphed twice, then warned, "Su Ye, if you run into guys like that again, don’t give them the time of day."

"You need to remember who you are."

Yu Suye leaned against Yan Feifan, adopting a demure, little-woman act, and said timidly, "My dear husband-to-be, I know I’m your woman."

"I’ll be sure to uphold my wifely duties. In the future, if any flirt tries to hit on me, I’ll give them the cold shoulder and not a hint of a smile."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but shoot a sideways glance at the little actress.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yan Ziruo giggled and asked, "Hey, Su Ye, how much do you know about that guy from earlier?"

Yu Suye recalled for a moment and said, "He sent me flowers twice and a gift once. I didn’t accept any of them."

"I think he bragged once that his family has billions in assets, that he graduated from a famous university in the United States with a master’s degree, and that he hadn’t been back in the country for long."

"Other than that..."

Yu Suye shook her head. "I don’t know anything else."

She added, "Ziruo, Feifan, I’ve never been able to stand self-important rich kids like him."

"Even Lu Yao is better than him. At least Lu Yao is more sincere—not pretentious or hypocritical."

Yan Ziruo asked with some surprise, "You really think that poorly of him?"

Yu Suye snorted lightly. "In this materialistic, money-obsessed era, a rich kid like him who can afford a supercar is definitely not short on women."

"The only reason he’s so persistent is because my constant rejections have just made him want the conquest."

"Or maybe I’m just part of a bet he has with someone."

Yu Suye said mockingly, "These days, love at first sight—the kind where you decide you can’t live without her—is rare, but it still happens."

"But you won’t find it in a rich kid who has played the field."

After a pause, Yu Suye said slowly, "I’ve known quite a few rich kids in Jingcheng."

"A lot of them have really messy private lives, but when it comes to marriage, the vast majority still listen to their families and choose someone of a similar background."

"In their eyes, self-interest is the only thing that lasts forever..."

Yu Suye then wrapped her arm around Yan Feifan and said sweetly, "My Feifan isn’t just a superb doctor; he’s also a good person. He makes me feel so secure."

Yan Ziruo turned her head and asked, "Is it his looks that make you feel secure, or his personality and character?"

Yu Suye’s eyes narrowed into slits as she giggled. "Both, both! His looks are reassuring, and so is his personality..."

Yan Feifan retorted indignantly, "My looks are reassuring? The two of you should go get your eyes or your heads checked..."

The three of them returned home, bickering playfully. After eating the sumptuous dinner prepared by Du Qiu, they all gathered on the living room sofa.

On the sofa, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye snuggled together, each engrossed in a medical journal and a medical monograph.

Yan Ziruo, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating fruit and watching TV, occasionally letting out a giggle.

It was a rare, happy moment for the three of them together.

Yan Feifan and Yu Suye were so focused that the sound of the TV and the noise from Yan Ziruo didn’t bother them at all.

For her part, Yan Ziruo had been used to her younger brother studying beside her while she watched TV since they were little.

Now with the addition of Yu Suye, who also found joy in studying, Yan Ziruo felt an even greater sense of harmony. ’Those two are truly a match made in heaven,’ she thought.

It was just that sometimes, the sound of the two of them discussing medical topics would interfere a bit with her TV show.

Yan Ziruo magnanimously put up with it.

’After all, they were her little brother and future sister-in-law...’

Around nine o’clock that evening, Yan Feifan received a call from Kevin Vega.

"Is this about tomorrow’s surgery?"

"It’s not about the surgery!"

Vega explained over the phone, "It’s about something else."

"Mr. Yan, I’m afraid I’ve been truly out of the loop."

"I was incredibly surprised to learn that you’re also a very, very talented plastic surgeon and trauma surgeon."

Hearing the exaggerated surprise in the other man’s voice, Yan Feifan chuckled softly. "You could say I’m moderately talented."

"To be precise, this puncture and injection surgery is more of a niche specialty of mine. I can’t really be considered a qualified neurosurgeon."

"But if you were to call me a trauma surgeon or a plastic surgeon, I would admit to it without any hesitation."

Vega said with a sigh of admiration, "Mr. Yan, you’re a true medical genius to be proficient in so many fields."

After a pause, he asked, "Mr. Yan, if you don’t mind me asking, are you skilled in corrective surgery for an overly large, wide, and thick tongue?"

’Corrective surgery for a large tongue?’

’That falls into the intersection of trauma surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery.’

’If a patient’s tongue was torn or severed due to an accident, it would be appropriate for them to be sent to the trauma surgery department for emergency treatment.’

’Yu Suye, being in trauma surgery, has performed suture surgery on a patient who bit their tongue halfway off.’

’However, non-emergency corrective surgeries for a large tongue like this are typically handled by the oral and maxillofacial surgery department.’

"Thick tongue" is a colloquial term for a type of speech impediment, which is medically known as dysarthria, or slurred speech.

A thick tongue is caused by physiological abnormalities in the speech organs or abnormal airflow during speech, leading to various forms of incorrect pronunciation.

In another situation, incorrect pronunciation due to a regional accent is also called having a "thick tongue."

This type is not the medical definition of a "thick tongue."

For a thick tongue caused by pathological reasons, the causes are complex and varied, primarily including...

Genetic factors, such as parents or close relatives having a thick tongue.

Congenital developmental issues, such as developmental deformities like a congenital cleft palate.

Diseases or physiological defects of the speech organs, such as the tongue being too large, too small, too flat and wide, too thick, or the lingual frenulum being too short.

Organic lesions in the speech organs, such as ankyloglossia (tongue-tie), laryngeal spasms, or masseter muscle spasms.

A thick tongue caused by the pathological reasons above is mostly treated using corrective devices or corrective surgery.

As for other causes, such as a thick tongue resulting from a regional accent or articulation issues, daily exercises to improve tongue flexibility are usually sufficient.

Yan Feifan quickly reviewed what he knew about the condition—its related anatomical structures and surgical treatments—before giving Mr. Vega a cautious reply.

"Mr. Vega, I can’t say it’s my specialty, but I believe I should be able to perform such a corrective surgery."

"Of course, I would need to see the patient’s examination data first."

Vega’s voice immediately came through the phone, "You Chinese are always so modest. If you say you can do it, then I’m sure there will be no problem."

"Mr. Yan, here’s the situation."

"I have a friend who has two daughters, and both of them have abnormally large tongues."

"The older daughter had corrective surgery five years ago, but the results were very poor. Now she’s become so withdrawn she’s unwilling to even speak."

"My friend is worried the surgery would fail for his younger daughter too, so he has held off on getting her treated."

"Mr. Yan, if you agree, could I bring my friend’s younger daughter with me to China next time?"

Yan Feifan really wanted to say no, but what he said into the phone was, "Mr. Vega, it’s possible, but for the next two weeks, I have a very important seminar."

"So you’re saying, I can bring her to China the time after next?"

"Yes!"

After ending the call, Yan Feifan tapped himself on the forehead.

’I’m getting cocky. Way too cocky!’

’I’ve never even performed a single surgery of this type. How could I let myself get carried away and just agree to it?’

Yan Feifan muttered to himself, ’To make sure this is absolutely foolproof and I don’t embarrass our country, I’ll have to go consult the experts in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery first...’
