Chapter 7

Luo Ying’s gilded words shocked Lu Zhao so much that he jerked on the steering wheel, and the car ran in a Z-shape on the road. Fortunately, there weren’t many cars on this road, and Lu Zhao had regained control in time, so nothing major happened. But the jolting still gave the two of them a shock.

“Do you want to die?” Lu Zhao scolded her sternly. “Hurry up and sit back down.”

Luo Ying stuck out her tongue mischievously and patted her frightened little heart. She cherished her life very much and sat back down obediently, not daring to tease him anymore.

Without any further disturbances from Luo Ying, the two finally returned to the villa safely.

As soon as the car stopped, Luo Ying reached out to him. “Carry me in.”

Housekeeper Zhang, who was in the villa, heard the commotion and came out. She saw that the two individuals, who often gave each other equally cold shoulders, had returned in the same car. She was surprised when she saw Lu Zhao actually open the door to the front passenger seat and princess-carry Luo Ying out.

Although she didn’t know what was going on, she still ran over and asked, “What’s wrong? Is Madam not feeling well?”

Lu Zhao first put Luo Ying on the sofa in the living room, and then went to the entrance to change his shoes.

Luo Ying was wearing a knee-length skirt today. As soon as she sat down, her skirt hiked up, revealing her two injured knees.

Luo Ying was able to become a top singer and dancer at such a young age and win the throne of the best Actress. There was no clearer indication of her efforts and dedication into her arts. Therefore, when she fell on cement ground just now, instead of faking it like some actors, she could bite down on the pain and put on an act that diverted his attention from her very real injuries.

On the way home, the bruises had begun to scab. In addition, the bruises had begun to turn purple, so her knees looked red, blue, and purple. It was quite serious.

Luo Ying knew in her heart that the wound only looked terrible, but such pain was nothing to her.

But the other two were not sure. When Zhang saw this, she shook her head repeatedly. “Oh dear, how did you take such a bad fall?”

Lu Zhao had thought she was just fooling around with him, so he had not taken a closer look at her. Now that he saw the wound, he couldn’t help but frown.

He instructed Zhang, “Give Dr. Fu a call and ask him to come over quickly.”

Such a wound was not a big deal when she was practicing her dance and acting. Luo Ying didn’t want to waste any more time, so she quickly stopped her, “There’s no need to go through all that trouble. Just bring the first aid kit over, disinfect the wound, and apply some medicine.”

Zhang, who had just picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know who to listen to. “Should I still call Dr. Fu over?”

“It’s already so late, don’t bother the old man over such a petty incident.” From the original book, she knew that Dr. Fu was a famous specialist. He had once injured his wrist and could no longer perform surgery, so he retired prematurely. However, because of his outstanding medical skills, the Lu family paid a high price to hire him as their family doctor. He would occasionally treat them for some minor illnesses and check on their bodies.

“It’s rare for you to be this considerate.” Lu Zhao remarked snidely, and Luo Ying rolled her eyes at him.

His gaze moved down from the wound on Luo Ying’s knee. She had already kicked off her shoes and socks, revealing a pair of white and delicate feet. Her ten toes were currently entangled with each other.

Lu Zhao’s eyes lingered on her delicate feet for a moment, then he looked away. Since she was still in the mood to play with her toes, it could not be as bad as it looked, so he instructed Zhang, “Don’t call the doctor yet, bring the first aid kit over.

Zhang nodded and was about to turn around to get the first aid kit when she heard Lu Zhao say, “I’m a little hungry. Can you cook two bowls of noodles first?” He glanced at Luo Ying and paused for a moment. “No scallions for one of them. Just coriander.”

Luo Ying’s eyes lit up. “Wow, how did you know I don’t like to eat onions? You’ve really been paying attention to me.”

Lu Zhao raised the corners of his mouth and said venomously, “I wonder. I wonder, what caused that incident last time? Just because there were more green onions in the dish, someone lost their temper and sent their bowl flying. It caused such a big scene. How could I not remember it?”

Luo Ying recalled the plot in the book and realized that it was indeed true. At that time, the original Luo Ying had decided to get a divorce and wanted to take every opportunity to displease Lu Zhao, so she had used this as a spark.

Sigh, every sin that the original Luo Ying had committed was about to turn around and bite her.
