“It’s alright, my child.” The Old Madam quickly patted Guan Tong’s back. 

The Old Madam finally managed to comfort Guan Tong to stop crying. And so, she let Guan Tong return to her chamber. When she walked to the door of the room, Guan Tong would occasionally wipe the corner of her eyes with her hand, pretending to be sobbing on her way back.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lu Han saw that Guan Tong’s eyes were red, and felt very distressed, so he quickly stood up and asked.

“I’m fine. Nothing is wrong.” Guan Tong didn’t dare to let Lu Han know her secret.

“Was Grandmother giving you a hard time?” Lu Han felt that his grandmother must have said something. Otherwise, Guan Tong wouldn’t come back here this sad.

“No…” Guan Tong quickly waved her hand. She did not want to cause any misunderstanding between Lu Han and the Old Madam. 

“Grandmother wanted to have the scars on my face fixed.” Guan Tong said. Lu Han heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Guan Tong’s words. He thought that Grandma had said something horrible to Guan Tong.

“Then why are you crying? Isn’t that a good thing?” Lu Han still couldn’t distinguish what the woman in front of him genuinely looked like under her scars. That night, he was also a little confused and didn’t see Guan Tong’s appearance clearly. The only thing he remembered was Guan Tong’s pair of bright eyes.

“But it turns out that I’ve been under pressure and being provoked, and I don’t want the treatment.” Lu Han had already guessed what Guan Tong was going to say. 

He raised his eyebrows. This little girl had been provoked? Through their period of knowing each other, he could see that Guan Tong was a strong-willed woman. Therefore, Lu Han maintained a skeptical attitude towards his wife’s words.

“So you’ve been provoked by a doctor before?” Lu Han probed.

“Yeah, doctors back then said that it can’t be cured.” As she spoke, Guan Tong choked up again. Lu Han couldn’t bear to see Guan Tong like this. Thus, he hurriedly patted Guan Tong’s back.

“Alright, alright. If you don’t want to be treated, you don’t have to be treated. No one will say anything about you. You are good enough. Don’t you girls always talk about the beauty of the soul? I think you’re more than enough.” Lu Han encouraged Guan Tong.

“In the past few days, did something happen to you?” Guan Tong rubbed her ears awkwardly. 

Was Lu Han trying to comfort her? Guan Tong couldn’t take it anymore, so she asked him if something had changed. Otherwise, why would he be this abnormally kind to her?

“Nothing happened. Why?” Lu Han was stunned when he heard this. Was this girl finally going to reveal her true identity to him?

“Then, have I offended you again?” Guan Tong thought about it. It seemed like this was the only possibility.

“No, you didn’t.” Lu Han wasn’t sure what Guan Tong was thinking.

“Then why are you so kind to me? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me.” Guan Tong suddenly felt her hair stand on her arms. Lu Han was stunned. In love? Perhaps, what Guan Tong asked was indeed the case.

“No… Forget about it.” Guan Tong began to talk to herself again. She simply denied this possibility for Lu Han’s falling in love.

“Alright, how about you just go to sleep.” Lu Han facepalmed. He felt like dealing with this girl was impossible.

“I’m going to take a bath in the second bedroom first.” Today, Guan Tong was sweating all over when she was busy with her grandmother’s hospital arrangements, so Guan Tong wanted to take an indulging hot bath by herself.

“Sure, go ahead.” Lu Han didn’t mind Guan Tong’s request.

Guan Tong took herself a bath, then took off her clothes and lay down in the bathtub. She raised her slender fingers and placed them on her face. She traced the scar for a while and finally came to the back of her ear. She pinched a slight edge and gently pulled them away from her face.

The ripping sound was made, and the scars on Guan Tong’s face were torn open. A disguised prosthetic mask covered her natural face, and she could not see the sunlight for many years. Guan Tong’s face looked particularly delicate. She had snow-white skin, exquisite eyebrows, and kissable red small lips that looked like bitten cherries. 

Guan Tong let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her actual appearance was not discovered by the Old Madam today. Guan Tong let out a light breath and lay in the bathtub, enjoying the massage in the warm bath.

Lu Han was standing outside the bathroom at this moment. His body was graceful and strong. It was enough for any girl to witness this sight to feel a sense of euphoric daydream. Guan Tong felt that something was wrong. She could feel the presence of someone outside the bathroom.

“Who is it?” In Guan Tong’s prediction, Lu Han could not be standing outside at this moment. He wasn’t the type of man who would sneak a peek of someone in a bath. Perhaps, the Lu family home was being robbed again! Guan Tong was extremely anxious at the possibility.

“It’s me.” Lu Han answered. Guan Tong raised her eyebrows. It was indeed Lu Han behind the door.

“Since when did Young Master have the hobby of watching girls taking a bath?” Guan Tong ridiculed Lu Han. However, Guan Tong’s heart was in a panic at this moment. What if Lu Han suddenly barged in? He would discover her natural appearance.

“I want to go in and get something.” Lu Han felt that this girl was a little too sharp. Could it be that she still had more secrets that he wasn’t aware of?

“Get something? What do you want? I’m taking a bath.” Guan Tong was surprised and displeased. Lu Han’s actions were not courteous at all.

“I won’t look.” Lu Han said as he walked into the bathroom.

Thud! 

The bathroom door was pulled open by Lu Han. Fortunately, there was a curtain separating the two.

“Lu Han, don’t come in yet!” Guan Tong’s voice suddenly turned cold..
