"The second time?"
Facing Xiao Zhan's surprise, the village head put down the fruit plate in his hand, picked up a small stool and sat beside him. "Yes. Your grandfather personally prepared the ointment for Miss Wen last time."
"Miss Wen?" Compared to just learning that his grandfather had already said hello to Lu Luochen, he was even more curious about the Miss Wen the village head mentioned. In his mind, the Wen Ning he knew was somehow related to the Miss Wen the village head was talking about.
The village head picked a plump plum from the fruit plate and politely offered it to Lu Luochen. "Miss Wen is Mr. Lu's fiancée. You saw her just now at the village entrance. She was the young lady who was dragged home by Xiaotiantian."
Xiao Zhan knew who the person was. The only thing he wanted to figure out now was whether Wen Sining and Miss Wen were the same person.
"May I ask Miss Wen's full name?"
"Brother Zhan~"
Tiantian pulled Wen Sining's hand and led her into the village head's house.
Xiao Zhan's words were interrupted. He glanced at Lu Luochen, who remained unmoved, and got up from the chair first.
"Not angry anymore?" Xiao Zhan squatted down in front of Tiantian.
Women, regardless of age, naturally like to be coaxed.
Tiantian imitated the posture of an adult and proudly folded her arms across her chest. "Humph."
"My heart aches so much. How can I make my Princess Tiantian happy?" Xiao Zhan knelt on one knee and held his hands up in a supplicating gesture.
The village head's wife just came out to get something. Seeing Xiao Zhan's actions, she wasn't surprised. She just said as she passed by Tiantian, "You little rascal, are you teasing your brother again?"
Not wanting to be criticized, Tiantian snorted again and ran behind Wen Sining in a huff.
Being used as a shield, Wen Sining helplessly met Xiao Zhan's intense gaze.
"I'm really sorry about what happened at the airport today. You look so much like a friend of mine, so I wanted to get to know you."
The sudden apology made it even harder for Wen Sining to face him. She mumbled in reply, "It's okay. I'm not angry."
"That's good." Xiao Zhan's serious expression broke into a smile. "I just heard from the village head that you're here to see my grandfather because of the medicine?"
Grandfather?
Wait a minute!
Wen Sining's mind went blank.
Last time at the theater, she learned that Xiao Zhan had lived in Lincheng. They had contact when they were kids, but she couldn't remember at that time.
So he was the grandson of the divine doctor!
Wen Sining didn't respond for a long time, and Xiao Zhan got closer and closer to her.
At this time, the stool on the steps made a creaking sound. Lu Luochen took a long stride with his long legs and stood in front of Wen Sining.
"Mr. Xiao seems quite interested in my fiancée."
The meaning in his words was laid bare. Lu Luochen seemed jealous as he forcefully turned Wen Sining's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
What was wrong with him this time?
Wen Sining wondered and wriggled uncomfortably.
Unable to break free, she was held even tighter. Lu Luochen tightly grasped her slender and soft waist. The pain seemed to be a warning for her to be obedient.
"Mr. Lu, you may have misunderstood. I said that Miss Wen looks a lot like a friend of mine. I accidentally mistook her for my friend." Sensing Lu Luochen's bad attitude towards Wen Sining, Xiao Zhan couldn't step forward to help. He could only explain verbally.
Could someone as good - looking as this be promiscuous?
Lu Luochen was inexplicably annoyed, and his possessiveness towards the woman in his arms became even stronger.
He wrapped his whole arm around her waist, and Wen Sining's back was tightly pressed against his chest.
The closeness disrupted her breathing. Looking down at the large hand on her abdomen, Wen Sining looked back at Lu Luochen with a strange feeling.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Xiao has only recently entered the ranks of A - list actors. Being so infatuated with a woman, aren't you afraid your fans will find out?"
In the entertainment industry, fans come first. Once fans learn that their idol has a crush on a girl, they will frantically dig out that girl and tear her apart.
The words of the assistant's reminder echoed in his mind, and Xiao Zhan's face suddenly darkened.
"As an idol, Mr. Xiao shouldn't let his fans down." After Lu Luochen said that, he put his arm around Wen Sining and sat down on the chair on the steps.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the village head patted Xiao Zhan on the arm. "The divine doctor might be back. Go and check."
"Okay." Xiao Zhan nodded.
Rather than wasting time here, it was better to go and ask his grandfather. He knew his grandfather well. His grandfather wouldn't easily treat the rich unless there was some special relationship.
After leaving the village head's house, Xiao Zhan's mind was filled with Wen Sining's face all the way. He compared every frown and smile of hers with the Wen Ning in his memory.
In fact, apart from their similar looks, their personalities and behaviors were different. Especially Wen Sining in the village at this moment. She was very cautious in everything she did, showing her timidity everywhere. This was something not seen in Wen Ning.
Before he knew it, Xiao Zhan arrived at his grandfather's house. Seeing the open door, he stepped over the threshold and walked in. There was a basket in the yard, and the fragrance of herbs wafted over.
"Xiao Zhan?" Doctor Li came out of the side room and was surprised to see his long - absent grandson in the yard.
"Grandfather."
Doctor Li immediately put down the dried herbs in his hand and quickly walked up to Xiao Zhan. He pulled him into his arms and patted his back. "You've grown taller and more handsome!"
Since Xiao Zhan decided to enter the entertainment industry, he had never returned to the village. In the early days when he was in the group, he worked extremely hard. Singing and dancing training filled his days. After his debut, he had even less time. During this period, he could only buy some things and mail them back, but he couldn't come back as freely as the items.
"You rascal. I thought you were having a great time outside and didn't plan to come back to see this old man." After hugging for a while, Doctor Li angrily pushed Xiao Zhan away.
Like Wen Sining, Xiao Zhan's parents also left early. The difference was that his grandfather had always been by his side, giving him all his love. There was no messy family exploitation, and he could do what he wanted.
Xiao Zhan followed Doctor Li and helped him. "Grandfather, I'll stay for a few more days this time. And I'll come back to see you often when I have time in the future."
Doctor Li was happy inside, but his stubbornness wouldn't let it show. "Don't you have to work? Or did you fail to make it out there?"
"I was just afraid you'd miss me so much that you couldn't eat." Xiao Zhan openly acted coquettishly with Doctor Li.
He was still like a child, lowering his body and lying on the doctor's shoulder.
