Mo Chen’s entire body was exuding a faint, pleasant smell of tobacco. He did not explain why he suddenly appeared. Instead, he raised his hand to caress the red mark on Lu Qi’s cheek in a natural and intimate manner. He lowered his voice and asked.

“Who did this?”

Lu Qi looked straight into Mo Chen’s dark and deep eyes, trying to find some clues about his emotions. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

Mo Chen felt very mysterious, and he was very shrewd. He was very good at hiding his true thoughts.

From the first time he appeared in the hospital and wanted to fulfill the engagement with her, Lu Qi could feel that something was strange about him. However, she could not easily detect the hidden intentions behind all of his actions.

Faced with such an expert, Lu Qi chose to play dumb and hide in the dark to continue observing.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already taken revenge.”

Lu Qi’s expression was magnanimous, causing Mo Chen to laugh out loud.

The two strange noises from the same corner attracted Lu Nuannuan’s attention. She looked back warily. “Who’s there? Come out!”

Lu Qi hurriedly used her hands to cover Mo Chen’s thin lips and moved her body closer to his chest. The two of them hid closely in the shadow of the tree. The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear their heartbeats.

Lu Qi felt Mo Chen’s soft lips coming into contact with her palm. Her skin was burning like it was on fire.

Lu Nuannuan walked closer but stopped when two stray cats jumped out of the bushes. She then let out a sigh of relief.

She and the maid did not stay any longer and left the garden in a hurry.

Lu Qi wanted to keep a distance from Mo Chen, but he deliberately held her waist and said with a smile in his eyes, “What? You want to throw me away after using me? Aren’t you being a little too much?”

“Your sudden appearance almost messed up my plan. It’s already pretty nice of me not to ask you for compensation!”

Lu Qi coldly pushed Mo Chen away. She bent down and gently patted the grass off the hem of her dress. The deep v collar revealed her beautiful cleavage. Mo Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at her round and tender breasts. He thought of the exciting scene in the car and his Adam’s apple slowly bobbed.

“Why did you come to the Lu Family?”

Lu Qi sorted out her thoughts. Her eyes were full of scrutiny as she asked him.

Mo Chen naturally helped her to remove the grass on the loose hairs on her forehead. He used his eyes to indicate the direction of the living room. “Today is your birthday. As your fiancé, of course, I have to be here to celebrate.”

“It’s just that I seem to have arrived too late and missed a good show.”

Lu Qi understood the ridicule in his words. She snorted coldly and turned around to head towards the living room.

Because her attention was on Mo Chen, she did not notice the pebbles under her feet. Her body lost its center of gravity and she fell forward.

Although she tried her best to rely on her instincts to turn her body around to save herself, this body was really too much of a hindrance!

“Oh.”

Lu Qi subconsciously closed her eyes and waited for the collision with the ground to happen. However, her body suddenly stopped in midair.

She felt a pair of palms caressing her soft breasts carelessly. It was extremely provocative.

Lu Qi widened her beautiful eyes and gritted her teeth while her ears turned red. “Mr. Mo!”

Mo Chen helped her steady herself. His eyes were filled with a teasing smile as he clapped his hands. He apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry. I was in a rush to help you.”

Lu Qi took two deep breaths and thought to herself that she should stay away from Mo Chen. He was simply too dangerous!

–

Lu Qi went to tidy up her clothes. When she returned to the living room later, she saw that Mo Chen and Xie Jiao were chatting very well.

Mo Chen looked very patient and listened to Xie Jiao’s words carefully. He nodded and smiled from time to time, looking extremely gentlemanly.

Lu Qi shook her head silently.

This man was too good at pretending.

Thud thud thud.

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Doctor Qin heard the news from Lu Wei and came to the living room with a first aid kit to treat Lu Nuannuan’s injury.

He saw Lu Qi sitting on the sofa and was a little stunned. He looked around nervously as if he was looking for Lu Nuannuan.

Lu Qi raised her eyebrows. “Why are you here, Doctor Qin?”

“…Ms. Lu, let me take a look at your wound.”

After being called out, Doctor Qin could only look at Lu Qi’s swollen face for show and opened the medical box.

Lu Qi quickly saw that there were two boxes of ointment that looked similar inside. She narrowed her eyes and thought, pretending not to know what Doctor Qin was up to.

Doctor Qin quietly placed one box of ointment in the corner of the medical box and handed the other box to Lu Qi. “Apply it three times a day. There won’t be any scars on your face.”

Lu Qi nodded. “Ok…”

Doctor Qin probed, “Has Ms. Nuannuan left already?”

Lu Qi tilted her head and stared at him. He explained guiltily, “Mr. Lu Wei asked me to bring some ointment for her.”

“Then I’ll pass it to her.”

Lu Qi spread her hands and motioned for Doctor Qin to pass the box of ointment to her.

Doctor Qin didn’t move for a long time. Lu Qi lowered her eyes and curled her lips. She asked coldly, “Or is there a difference between that box of ointment and mine? Are you worried that it’s me passing her the ointment?”
