More than half of the medicine in the medicine box had been used. It seemed that it had been applied every day.
What was this so - called fake scar that Wen Minhao had mentioned?
Hearing the soft footsteps, Lu Luochen immediately put the medicine box back in its original place.
Pushing open the door, Wen Sining looked at the empty room.
Was he not here?
Feeling relieved, she walked further inside.
"You're here!" Wen Sining called out towards the bathroom.
Lu Luochen's gaze fell on her cheek, his eyes showing a hint of scrutiny. During the time they'd been together, this was the first time he'd carefully observed her appearance.
"Is there something on my face?" Wen Sining instinctively touched the area of the scar. Her fingers touching her cheek, feeling the position of the scar, she looked at Lu Luochen in confusion.
The solemn man in front of her was walking towards her step by step. He stopped when there were only a few centimeters between them.
At such a close distance, they could clearly smell each other's scent. She could even see Lu Luochen's skin, so smooth that it seemed to have no pores when she looked up.
What was wrong with him tonight?
Confusion welled up in Wen Sining's heart. She blinked her eyes nervously, clutching the corner of her clothes.
"Luochen, you..."
Just as she started to speak, a loud ringing interrupted her. Her eyes followed Lu Luochen's movement and landed on the phone he took out.
Yun Chutong!
A gentle smile appeared on Lu Luochen's lips. Ignoring Wen Sining's presence, he immediately answered the call.
"Is that President Lu? I'm Amanda's manager. Are you available now?"
As the call was answered, Sister Fang's anxious voice came through.
Wen Sining had already turned around to leave. Hearing the fragmented voices from the phone, she curiously turned back to look at Lu Luochen's expression.
It didn't surprise Wen Sining that Yun Chutong was calling. After what she'd said to her at the shooting site this afternoon, Yun Chutong surely couldn't accept it.
A person who was always highly regarded couldn't really listen to others' opinions and wouldn't do unprofessional things.
Seeing Lu Luochen's displeased gaze cast over, Wen Sining acted as if she didn't see it and stepped into the bathroom.
"Go ahead."
"Amanda... She's in trouble!"
The door was slammed shut. Then came Old Master Lu's inquiring voice from the living - room, followed by the sound of the Maybach speeding out of the Lu family compound.
In just a short minute, the Lu family mansion went from quiet to noisy and then back to quiet.
Wen Sining stood in front of the sink and reached up to remove the fake scar on her face. Bowing her head, her eyebrows knitted into a frown.
Something had been touched! Was it him?
Having been cautious in the Wen family for so long, Wen Sining maintained the same habit in the Lu family. She noticed that the label on the medicine box was gone and realized it had been touched.
Recalling carefully, when she entered the room, Lu Luochen was the only one who came out.
Could it be that Wen Minhao's words had made him suspicious?
Wen Sining stroked the scar on her face. Her plan in mind became even stronger.
On the other side.
Lu Luochen sped all the way to Yun Chutong's apartment.
"President Lu!" Xiaolan was pacing back and forth, waiting for him at the door.
"What exactly happened?" Lu Luochen asked as he walked inside.
Xiaolan couldn't keep up with his steps. She trotted behind Lu Luochen, pulling up her pants, "Teacher Amanda didn't have a smooth shoot this afternoon and was scolded by someone."
"Scolded?" Before reaching the elevator, Lu Luochen suddenly stopped.
"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded vigorously, "During the shoot, Amanda accidentally dropped the prop. The other person thought she did it on purpose and said a lot of mean things to her in front of everyone."
Lu Luochen's eyebrows gradually knitted together. With anger on his face, he entered the elevator, eager to see Yun Chutong.
All the way to the top floor, Sister Fang stood at the door looking worried. Seeing the person coming out of the elevator, she waved her arms and rushed forward excitedly, "President Lu, you're finally here. She's locked herself inside for a while. I was really afraid she'd do something stupid, so I had to call you."
At this emotional moment, Sister Fang raised her hand to wipe her dry cheeks.
Lu Luochen came to the door and knocked on it, "Chutong, it's me. Open the door."
After calling several times, there was no response from inside.
Sister Fang stepped forward and said, "President Lu, we called before you came, but Chutong didn't respond at all."
No response?
Lu Luochen looked at the closed door, then turned to look behind him, "Don't you have a spare key?"
Sister Fang and Xiaolan almost shook their heads at the same time.
His gaze fell on the lock again. Lu Luochen took a step back and raised his foot, aiming at the door lock.
"President Lu, are you going to kick the door open?" Sister Fang shouted.
The sound was loud enough to be heard inside.
Xiaolan nervously hid behind. She listened to the sound of his foot hitting the door.
There were people on both sides of the apartment. After Lu Luochen kicked the door, the door in front of him didn't open, but the door next door did.
A woman poked her head out. Seeing Lu Luochen, she voluntarily came out of the room, "Sir, could you be a bit quieter?"
Hearing the woman's words, Sister Fang quickly dodged to the side.
It wasn't good to make a big scene, especially considering Yun Chutong's status.
Lu Luochen looked back at the woman. Love immediately appeared in her eyes.
"Sorry."
"Do you need any help?"
The woman came out of the room and stood beside Lu Luochen.
Xiaolan looked at Sister Fang. As a woman, she knew exactly what the woman meant.
"Can I go into your balcony?" Lu Luochen asked.
"Sure. I'll show you the way."
The woman enthusiastically led Lu Luochen into the house.
After they went in, Xiaolan panicked and ran to Sister Fang.
"Quickly contact Amanda and tell her to be careful." Sister Fang didn't give Xiaolan a chance to speak. She pulled her hand and urged her to handle it quickly.
Xiaolan fumbled to take out her phone, but accidentally dropped it on the floor.
She squatted down. Just then, Lu Luochen's voice came from the front.
"President Lu, what's wrong?" Sister Fang waved her arm below. Xiaolan picked up the phone and ran towards the stairs in front.
Sister Fang answered Lu Luochen's call and stepped into the neighbor's house next to Yun Chutong's.
As soon as she entered, Sister Fang was shocked by what she saw.
The neighbor woman was half - hanging on Lu Luochen, her calf boldly hooking around his. And the hand on top was wrapped around his neck.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly walked up to them, "President Lu, what's this?"
Lu Luochen put the woman down and pointed to the balcony, "The balconies of the two houses are connected. I'm going to climb over now. You keep an eye on the front door and try to stop Chutong from coming out."
The woman tugged at her shoulder strap, adjusted her collar, and stared at Lu Luochen with admiration.
