With her fingers, she tore the entire fake scar off her cheek. Turning on the faucet, she held the top part of the scar under the running water. The scar would soften when wet, looking just like real skin with some water droplets gathering on it.
Watching the softness, Wen Sining opened the drawer and took out a pair of scissors. She roughly measured the length and with a snap, cut the scar in half.
She held it up to her cheek again and reapplied the scar. Although the length was shorter, it wasn't immediately noticeable. Just as her eyes glanced at the ointment beside her, footsteps were approaching.
There was still half of the hideous scar on her face. She quickly moved her hand from the ointment to the scar.
The door was pushed open from the outside. All the items in the bathroom seemed to tremble at the scream.
Wen Sining hid behind the thin shower curtain. Water droplets splashed on it, and the fabric fluttered in the breeze, faintly revealing her figure.
Lu Luochen turned around with red ears, avoiding Wen Sining's eyes.
"Get out!" Wen Sining shrank her head back and urged from behind the curtain.
It was quiet outside. After a few minutes, the sound of the bedroom door closing came into the bathroom.
Lucky to have escaped that!
Wen Sining took off her outer bathrobe, pulled back the curtain, and walked out of the bathroom. But soon, she returned.
Downstairs in the kitchen.
The maid carried big and small bags of vegetables and gasped as she entered the kitchen. She threw the plastic bags on the table with a thud, and then screams echoed through the room.
Lu Luochen frowned and put down the water cup in his hand.
Putting the cup on the table was like putting it on the maid's heart. Thump thump - the sound of her heart pounding hit her eardrums.
"You... Young master, you..." As soon as the maid opened her mouth and met his gaze, she quickly lowered her head. "S... Sorry..."
Lu Luochen withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to calm. He lifted his foot and walked out of the kitchen past the maid. Before he reached the sofa, he saw Wen Sining coming downstairs.
His eyes were fixed on Wen Sining's face, looking at the scar on it.
The scar was still there, but something seemed off.
Wen Sining took the initiative to step closer. Pretending to be shy, she tugged at the corner of her clothes. Her lowered eyes glanced up slightly, and she said coyly, "Just now, did you...?"
She deliberately stopped halfway through the sentence, with red ears and head down, firmly buttoning the bottom of her clothes.
His memory was pulled back. Lu Luochen coughed awkwardly. In fact, he didn't really see much, but he also saw something. Wen Sining's graceful figure was faintly visible behind the wet curtain.
"And you...," Wen Sining said halfway through, taking a step forward. "Do you think I..."
Thud! The sound of someone's butt hitting the floor echoed in the living room.
So much force!
Wen Sining felt as if someone had hit her tailbone. The pain made sweat drip from her forehead.
After the sound, the maids peeked out from the kitchen door, curious but not daring to look openly. They were almost about to stick their ears in front of the two to find out what had happened.
"What did I do wrong? Why did you push me?" Tears welled up in her eyes and fell like raindrops. Wen Sining sat on the floor, looking at him with tear - streaked eyes, waiting for an answer.
Even Lu Luochen himself didn't know why he had reached out his hand. It was just that the moment Wen Sining got closer, his hand just shot out. Facing her aggrieved and complaining gaze, his palm twitched beside his leg.
"Mrs. Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Bai, who came in from outside, exclaimed and stepped forward to ask.
His appearance made Lu Luochen quickly withdraw the hand that was beside his leg.
Uncle Bai walked up to Wen Sining and then followed her gaze to Lu Luochen behind. He looked back and forth between the two of them and tentatively asked, "Young master, did you fight with Mrs. Young Master?"
Before Uncle Bai came in, there were only the two of them in the large living room. If it wasn't Lu Luochen who pushed her, Uncle Bai really didn't know who it could be.
"Yes," Lu Luochen answered truthfully. "It was an accident. You can get up from the floor now."
He didn't use much force with that push. She should get up from the floor. Sitting there all the time made him suspect her real motives.
"My butt hurts!" Wen Sining complained aggrievedly.
This time it was real!
Everything happened so suddenly. She had no time to protect herself when she fell. It seemed that her tailbone was injured, and it really hurt!
Uncle Bai reached out his hand, wanting to touch Wen Sining's exposed arm but thought it was inappropriate. He looked at Lu Luochen back and forth and urged anxiously, "Young master, you have to pick up Mrs. Young Master from the floor quickly. We have to take her to the hospital as soon as possible. It won't be good if the treatment is delayed."
The old master had gone out to meet an old friend for a fishing trip today. If he came back and found out about this, there would surely be a huge stir in the family.
After some hesitation and under Uncle Bai's constant urging, Lu Luochen walked towards Wen Sining. He bent down and touched Wen Sining's calf.
His fingertips were cold, and Wen Sining instinctively pulled back.
Apart from Yun Chutong, this was the first time Lu Luochen had touched another woman.
"Young master!" Uncle Bai urged anxiously.
Coming back to his senses, Lu Luochen glanced at Wen Sining who was pretending to be calm, then stood up and picked her up in his arms.
Thump thump! At such a close distance, Wen Sining didn't know whose rapid heartbeat it was. Her raised eyes stared at Lu Luochen's delicate jawline. Their bodies would accidentally touch each other as he walked.
Uncle Bai opened the car door, and Wen Sining was carefully placed on the seat.
"Go to the hospital," Lu Luochen said to the driver in front.
Uncle Bai outside the car door also wanted to go with them, but looking at the situation in the car, he still had to tell the old master what had happened at home.
Uncle Bai leaned over to the window and gave many instructions, "Young master, take good care of Mrs. Young Master. Drive slowly on the way. Don't let her get bumped again."
"Got it," Lu Luochen replied. The driver in front got the instruction and immediately stepped on the accelerator to drive the car.
All the way, perhaps because of Uncle Bai's reminder, the Maybach drove as slowly as a snail. Cars behind honked their horns and overtook one after another.
If it weren't for the high price of the Maybach, the overtaking drivers might have opened their windows and shouted.
After a long drive, they finally arrived at the hospital.
