So what if there was a miraculous ointment? Yun Chutong was determined to force Lu Luochen to avenge her.
"I don't want you to see me like this."
"I like you in any way. I love you as a person, not just your appearance."
Lu Luochen, the president of the prestigious Lu Group, now seemed like a spineless man. Leaning against the doorframe, he pleaded desperately with the woman inside.
Inside the room, Yun Chutong sat on the chair carried in by Xiaolan. There was a smug look on her face, but when she opened her mouth, it was full of exaggerated grievances. "But I look so scary now. They've all seen my ugly side. I really don't want to live anymore."
As she spoke, Yun Chutong deliberately knocked over the stool beneath her, making a loud noise.
Unable to see what was going on inside, Lu Luochen outside was so anxious that he wished he could break through the door. He pounded on the door frantically and urged again and again, "Chutong, listen to me. I'll solve all the problems for you myself. I won't let anyone hurt you."
"I've already been hurt." Yun Chutong's voice carried a sense of despair for life, but her hands were busy playing with her newly - done manicure.
After pretending for so long, she rubbed her neck uncomfortably and then pointed at the kitchen.
Sister Fang, like an old maid, quickly rushed into the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. After Yun Chutong drank it, she took the glass away.
Lu Luochen's soothing voice was still coming from outside. When he felt that it had suddenly gone quiet inside, he couldn't wait a moment longer.
He turned around and walked to the opposite door and knocked on it.
The woman had just finished washing. With her wet hair, she looked at Lu Luochen in surprise, someone who shouldn't be here.
"Mr. Lu?" the neighbor woman called out and secretly pinched her thigh.
It hurt!
Making sure she wasn't dreaming, she excitedly rushed towards him. "Mr. Lu, why did you suddenly come to me? Is there something?"
Lu Luochen didn't have time to push her away. He stepped into the room, dragging the woman along with him.
"Mr. Lu, what are you doing?" The woman's heart was pounding. She was overjoyed, waiting for his next move.
"Sorry, I need to use your balcony." With that, Lu Luochen pushed the woman aside and quickly rushed towards the balcony.
There were the woman's underwear hanging there. Lu Luochen gave an embarrassed look and avoided these intimate clothes as he opened the glass window.
Next door, Yun Chutong could no longer hear the shouts from outside. She looked at Sister Fang in confusion and signaled them with her eyes to go and check.
Strange!
Sister Fang looked out through the door back and forth. She raised her hand, wanting to open the door.
"Don't open the door!"
"Mr. Lu seems to have left."
"Left? How is that possible?"
Yun Chutong rushed to the door in a few steps, rudely pushing Sister Fang aside. She peeked out through the peephole.
Lu Luochen, who should have been waiting at the door, was indeed gone, but the opposite door was slightly ajar.
Could it be?
Yun Chutong's eyes turned to the balcony, and she clearly heard the sound of someone jumping down.
"What's the point of living? How can I stay in the show - business circle in the future?"
Suddenly, feigning a desire to die, Yun Chutong picked up a sharp object beside the shoe cabinet and put it to her neck.
Xiaolan and Sister Fang were stunned by her actions. Before they could stop her, Lu Luochen, who had climbed over from the balcony, immediately rushed over.
"Chutong!"
With a loud shout, he snatched the sharp object and threw it on the ground. With a clatter, Lu Luochen hugged Yun Chutong in his arms, still in shock.
"I'm here. I'll protect you. I won't let you get hurt."
Leaning on his warm and safe shoulder, Yun Chutong howled without tears. Feeling the pat on her back, she looked extremely smug.
The two of them hugged quietly for a long time. When she was exhausted and could no longer act as if she was crying, Lu Luochen helped her sit on the sofa.
Oh no!
The ice - cream and the bird's nest that had been stewed for an afternoon were still on the coffee table.
Yun Chutong winked at Sister Fang, trying to get her to take the things away quickly, but there was simply not enough time.
When he sat down, Lu Luochen clearly noticed the things in front of him. But his mind was only on Yun Chutong, and he didn't have the extra energy to care about other things.
"Stay here. I'll apply the medicine for you." Lu Luochen took out a palm - sized medicine box from his pocket.
After learning that she had an allergic reaction, Lu Luochen had immediately gone to a well - known old Chinese doctor to buy the special medicine.
Yun Chutong raised her hand to block his out - stretched hand and whispered, "My face is so dirty."
Lu Luochen was stunned for a moment and then understood what she meant. Looking around, he put the ointment on the coffee table and walked into the bathroom.
"Quickly take these things away." Yun Chutong urged.
Sister Fang and Xiaolan each grabbed one item and rushed into the kitchen with them. After putting the things down, they quietly left to give the two of them some space.
When Lu Luochen came out, he didn't notice that Sister Fang and Xiaolan were gone. He just glanced at the empty coffee table.
There were still water droplets on the table caused by the cold air of the ice - cream, which reminded Lu Luochen that there had been something there.
Noticing that his eyes were always on that spot, Yun Chutong moaned, "Luochen, my face is so itchy."
She covered her cheek with her palm, wanting to scratch it, but Lu Luochen stopped her in time.
"Bear it for a while. It won't itch after I apply the medicine."
Lu Luochen was very gentle. Holding a towel in his hand, he carefully wiped Yun Chutong's face. After making sure every part was clean, he opened the medicine box and applied the medicine to each pimple on her face.
The ointment was cold and really comfortable when applied. Yun Chutong looked at Lu Luochen's serious face, thought for a while, and then opened her lips.
"Luochen, did the Lu Group sign a contract with Mo Xin?"
"Yeah."
Lu Luochen changed a cotton swab and continued to apply the medicine.
Some words kept turning over in her mind. Yun Chutong carefully observed Lu Luochen's expression. "What's the content of the contract?"
As soon as her voice fell, Lu Luochen stopped his action.
Yun Chutong thought he was unhappy. She quickly leaned into his arms. "My face is allergic to the cosmetics of the crew, but Miss Wen wants to replace me. She thinks I'm not suitable for this shooting and that I deliberately caused problems to delay the shooting. But I didn't, Luochen. You know me best. You know that if I do something, I want to do it to the best of my ability."
Seeing Yun Chutong getting more and more emotional, Lu Luochen quickly comforted her, "I know, I know everything. Don't worry. You're the only one who can be the spokesperson for this project."
After signing the contract, the Lu Group also had the right to choose the spokesperson. Although Mo Xin was in charge of the details of the shooting, the Lu Group still had the right to speak when it came to the spokesperson.
Lu Luochen moved Yun Chutong out of his arms and said to her, "Have a good rest tonight. Go back to shooting after the allergy on your face is cured."
