"Well, the master will be back in a few days," Uncle Bai replied.
After pondering for a few seconds, Wen Sining heaved a melancholy sigh.
Hearing this, Uncle Bai beside her immediately asked, "Does the young mistress have something on your mind?"
Raising her arm, Wen Sining deliberately covered the half of her face with the scar. "The ointment we got last time worked really well on my scar, but..."
Halfway through, she sighed again.
Uncle Bai couldn't see her scar, and his eyes turned anxious. "But what? Young mistress, you might as well tell me."
Wen Sining looked at Uncle Bai with her clear eyes. She bit her upper lip hesitantly. "The ointment is almost used up."
Hearing this, Uncle Bai put down his tension and smiled indulgently.
"This is easy. I'll tell the young master later to send someone to Lincheng to buy some more."
"Doesn't he need to take another look at my scar?"
Wen Sining took her hand down from her cheek, exposing the hideous scar to Uncle Bai's sight.
Having seen it often, the appearance of the scar had already left an imprint in Uncle Bai's mind. He wouldn't be startled like the first time he saw it. He calmly looked directly at the scar, but found something unexpected.
"Young mistress?"
Facing Uncle Bai's surprise, Wen Sining nervously stroked the scar. "Is it uglier?"
With tears in her eyes, she lowered her head to avoid the gaze in front of her.
"Your scar has faded!" Uncle Bai shouted excitedly. "Really, your scar is much shorter than before."
Wen Sining looked at Uncle Bai's joyful face in disbelief. She still lowered her head self - consciously and occasionally glanced up.
"Young mistress, let's quickly show the young master," Uncle Bai said. Like treating his own granddaughter, he grabbed Wen Sining's arm and walked downstairs.
He was old, so he wasn't as agile as a young person when walking down the stairs. Halfway down, it became Wen Sining supporting Uncle Bai. An old man and a young woman came in front of Lu Luochen with different emotions.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Luochen put down the fork in his hand.
"Young master, look at the young mistress," Uncle Bai said.
The voices upstairs could be heard downstairs. Lu Luochen cooperated with Uncle Bai's mystery and looked back at Wen Sining.
Like the first time they met, Wen Sining shyly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him like a timid young daughter - in - law.
"Did you notice?"
"Yeah."
Lu Luochen nodded.
"It seems the divine doctor really is a divine doctor. I have to tell the master this good news as soon as possible. By the way, the young mistress has run out of the ointment. Young master, if you have time, send someone to get some more from the divine doctor," Uncle Bai said all at once. Then he excitedly walked towards the living room.
When Wen Sining first came to the Lu residence, the master sincerely wanted to treat the scar on Wen Sining's face no matter how difficult it was. It wasn't because he wanted her to please Lu Luochen, nor was it because he disliked her appearance and thought it would bring shame to the Lu family. He hoped that Wen Sining could be like other girls and no longer be self - abased because of the scar.
The voices of Uncle Bai and the old master drifted in the living room. Wen Sining secretly sized up Lu Luochen at the dining table.
"Luochen."
Lu Luochen looked up.
"Can I go to Lincheng?" Wen Sining asked.
Recently, the Moxin Group had provided charity support to the small village where the divine doctor lived. She needed to conduct on - site inspections of the project implementation and also explain some things to the divine doctor in person.
Meeting Xiao Zhan at the filming site last time had brought back all her childhood memories. The existence of the divine doctor might be a help on her revenge journey. At least, with his relationship with her grandmother, he wouldn't expose her actions.
Lu Luochen glanced at her. "Reason."
"Uncle Bai said my scar has faded a bit, and he also said the ointment is very useful. If we go to get more medicine, the divine doctor will surely need to take another look at my scar now so that he knows how to prepare the new ointment," Wen Sining explained seriously.
What she said actually made sense. Whether it was a scar on the face or other physical ailments, doctors would prescribe medicine according to the severity of the symptoms.
But when it came to Wen Sining, Lu Luochen always felt that things weren't as simple as she said. After a few days of contact, too many strange things had happened around him. Wen Sining was like a big mystery that needed a lot of time to solve.
"What time?" Lu Luochen was silent for a long time.
"This afternoon," Wen Sining said.
Recently, due to the matter of Yun Chutong, the project had been interrupted again. Taking advantage of this time, it would be better to treat the scar on her face first. Solving one thing would make it easier to solve the others.
Lu Luochen looked up at Wen Sining. His deep eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then he replied, "Okay."
So straightforward?
Right. She wasn't Yun Chutong. Lu Luochen wouldn't spend too much time and energy on her.
Wen Sining nodded happily and started to gobble up the food in front of her.
Although she said this afternoon, after breakfast, Wen Sining went back to her room to pack her things. She told Uncle Bai about it and asked him to prepare a car for her.
Hearing that she was going alone, Uncle Bai was extremely worried.
"Young master, are you really sure about letting the young mistress go to such a far place alone?"
Lu Luochen put down the document in his hand.
Uncle Bai sat down beside him and earnestly said, "She has to take a plane to get to Lincheng, and then there's still a long way to the village. Moreover, the transportation and signal there are not well - developed. What if something happens to the young mistress when she gets there?"
Wen Sining, carrying her backpack, stood at the stairs. Hearing the conversation downstairs, she retracted the foot she had stepped down. Leaning against the railing, she pricked up her ears waiting for Lu Luochen's response.
She hoped he wouldn't agree!
This time when going to Lincheng, Wen Sining deliberately avoided the old master and firmly refused Uncle Bai to accompany her. If Lu Luochen went too, his presence would be a dangerous time - bomb.
Lu Luochen put the document on the coffee table. The phone beside him flashed.
"Young master?" Uncle Bai shouted anxiously.
"Is the car ready?" Lu Luochen glanced at the phone, and his attitude changed.
Hearing there was hope, Uncle Bai quickly said, "It's waiting at the door."
"Okay," Lu Luochen said.
Just one word, which made Uncle Bai completely confused.
Was he going or not? Or was there still room for negotiation?
Uncle Bai observed Lu Luochen's expression. His lips parted, but he hesitated to speak. "What about the trip to Lincheng?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Luochen immediately stood up from beside Uncle Bai.
His sudden action left Uncle Bai confused. He was stunned for a few seconds and then stood up from the chair following his action.
"Young master?" Uncle Bai watched him go upstairs and shouted anxiously.
Hearing the footsteps, Wen Sining immediately moved out from the side.
Seeing her carrying the backpack, Lu Luochen sized Wen Sining up and down. "Wait for me."
Then he walked upstairs from the side.
