After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: This Is Just the Beginning

At first, Zhao Haishuang didn’t believe in something so miraculous, but she decided to try the injection. Apart from her face looking a bit swollen in the first few days, it became natural and beautiful after a while.

This was exactly what Zhao Haishuang had been pursuing.

However, the effect of the injection didn’t last very long. It would typically fade in about two weeks, so Zhao Haishuang had to get it once every two weeks.

This time, Zhao Haishuang received another hydrating injection.

When Yun Shifei visited the Cheng Family again and saw Zhao Haishuang, she noticed that her face seemed different.

Her makeup was still as glamorous as ever, but her forehead appeared slightly swollen, and even the foundation couldn’t cover it up.

"Shi Fei, here to see Xiao Lie again?"

Yun Shifei nodded and couldn’t help but ask, "Auntie, what happened to your face?"

"What happened?" Zhao Haishuang reached up to touch her own face.

"It looks a little swollen."

"Oh, is it? It’s nothing. It’ll be fine in a few days," Zhao Haishuang replied.

Yun Shifei gave a soft "oh" and said, "I’ll go find Cheng Lie first."

"Go on."

As Yun Shifei walked upstairs, it suddenly occurred to her that Zhao Haishuang’s face bore some resemblance to the surgically altered faces of modern social media influencers that she’d seen before.

Could it be that Zhao Haishuang had also undergone cosmetic surgery?

Yun Shifei wasn’t sure, but considering how much Zhao Haishuang cherished her beauty—putting on makeup every single day even at home—surgery wouldn’t be too surprising.

By now, the New Year had passed, and it was time for them to return to school.

Yun Shifei invited Cheng Lie to go out and shop for school supplies.

She thought that going out more often might help Cheng Lie’s condition improve.

After Yun Shifei took Cheng Lie out, Zhao Haishuang couldn’t resist pulling out a mirror to examine her face.

Her forehead, chin, and cheeks were indeed still a bit swollen.

Before, it had taken only a couple of days for the swelling to subside naturally.
