"Ten years," Liu Qingrong replied softly.

Long Aobing nodded, asked a few more professional questions, and then began to examine the burned areas all over Liu Qingrong's body. After the examination, she turned to Qin Xiao.

"To completely cure her, we need a three-pronged approach," Long Aobing said, unusually serious. "Your acupuncture, my spiritual energy, and..."

"That one from the Song family?" Qin Xiao guessed.

“That’s right, Song Zhixue.” Long Aobing nodded in confirmation. “Her newly developed skin grafting technology, when used in conjunction with ours, will be twice as effective. Only by combining the three can her appearance and skin function be completely restored.”

A look of disbelief flashed in Liu Qingrong's eyes: "Really...can it be cured?" Her voice trembled slightly.

“Of course!” Long Aobing said confidently. “However, we can’t rush it. We need to do it in several stages, restoring a portion each time, so that the new organization has enough time to adapt.”

Qin Xiao looked at Liu Qingrong: "I will contact Song Zhixue and arrange the first treatment. What do you think?"

Looking at Qin Xiao, Liu Qingrong's eyes grew brighter and brighter: "No matter what the outcome, I, Liu Qingrong, will never forget Mr. Qin's kindness."

Long Aobing pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Oh dear, yet another one who's willing to pay her husband a high price."

Mo Meigui coughed lightly, signaling to her with her eyes to shut up.

On the way back, Qin Xiao seemed lost in thought. If he could cure Liu Qingrong, he would not only gain the Liu family's friendship but also make contact with Song Zhixue, further expanding his sphere of influence. Moreover… the thought of the highly skilled physician Song Zhixue filled Qin Xiao with anticipation.

"Thinking about Song Zhixue?" Long Aobing keenly sensed Qin Xiao's thoughts and said jealously, "I heard she's a proper young lady from a respectable family, not easy to win over~"

Qin Xiao chuckled: "Who said I was going to pursue her?"

"Hmph, with a husband as outstanding as you, you're bound to attract all sorts of women throwing themselves at you!" Long Aobing declared domineeringly. "But it doesn't matter, as long as you have a place for me in your heart."
