Chapter 190 - Shu Yan blushed. This man had just overheard their conversation. And, who is this? (1)
After one night’s sleep, Shu Yan almost scared herself to death when she looked into the mirror the next day. Right after the laser surgery yesterday, even though her face was red and not appealing, but it was at least acceptable. Now her face was… so indescribably. Almost like a calico cat. She was covered in spots and terrible to look at.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and mouth a little and dared not wash the rest of her face. The doctor said the spots would become more obvious so she would probably look even worse tomorrow and the day after.
Ugly or not, she still needed to take the kids to school. Shu Yan donned her mask, shades, and hat and left the house fully armored. One hundred percent passersby turned and looked at them. One particularly enthusiastic woman even dragged the two children over and asked if Shu Yan was their mother.
Shu Yan didn’t know how to respond to that. “I just have a heavy cold so I wore a mask.” She took off her shades and hat. At least she now looked less like a kidnapper.
Even Lin Hui was a bit startled when she saw Shu Yan.
“Wow, that is scary looking. Maybe I need to give it some more thoughts.” She had already talked to her husband last night about wanting to get laser surgery. Her husband agreed as well. Seeing Shu Yan’s look right now, she was having second thoughts.
“The doctor said they’d become even more obvious and scab. It would still take a while to recover after the scabs had fallen off naturally. There will be side effects as well. I need to be careful with the sun going forward. If mine wasn’t so bad, I wouldn’t have done it. So I don’t advise you to have yours done.” Lin Hui’s pregnancy spots were light. If that was the extent of Shu Yan’s condition, she never would have opted for laser removal.
“I agree. You really don’t need to have it done. Look at mine? I’d do it if I can afford it,” said Wu Xiuyue nearby.
When Shu Yan arrived at her shop, both Zhuo Yixuan and Yingying were startled.
“Boss Lady, whatever had happened to you?” asked Yingying as she looked at Shu Yan’s face.
“Laser spot removal. I know someone who had it done and the effect was quite good so I went and have it done as well. My face will look worse and worse in the next couple of days so I probably can’t come by very often. You two keep an eye out. Call this number and ask for me if you need me.” Shu Yan gave them the number to the grocery store by her house.
Before she took off, a few familiar customers inquired about it when they saw Shu Yan and her face. When they’ve heard that she has had laser spot removal, they asked to see the outcome afterward and would consider having it done themselves if it turned out good.
All day long, Shu Yan’s face smarted and it got worse and worse as the day got later. Shu Yan gave the doctor a call and the doctor reassured her that that was normal. If it was too intolerable, she could put some ice on it. There was no refrigerator in the rental place so Shu Yan used a towel. Whenever the towel became warm, she’d dip it in cold water again. She did that for a few times and felt that it felt slightly better when she had the towel over them but not so much afterward. She figured she’d just bear through it.
The pain only subsided slowly after three days. But her face was horrible to look at. There were patches of black stuck all over it and she could not walk out of her house without a mask on.
Shu Yan looked for Zhang Huaxiu at the little district and told her that she wouldn’t be going over to the shop in the next couple of days until some of the scabs were gone. She didn’t want to scare away the customers.
Toward the afternoon, the lady at the grocery store came over and told her that Xiuxiu was looking for her. Shu Yan found out that Boss Zhang was trying to get in touch with her.

Translator’s rambling:
Do you know that this translator has a blog on here in addition to her translation? No? That’s fine, I update on average of once a month anyway. Haha. But, I wrote about some interesting tidbit that I have read from a different webnovel yesterday so do swing by and take a look if you have a couple of minutes to spare!
