His deep voice invaded her heart bit by bit. She slowly looked up and saw his large hand proficiently using a cotton swab to take the medicine closer to her face. When the cotton swab in his hand was about to touch her, she instinctively shrank back.

“Don’t move.” Unexpectedly, his shoulder was forcefully pulled over by him. He pressed her down with some force, and the cold voice that came out of his cold lips drifted into her ears.

Su Yanxi pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not seem to like his tyranny, but when she sensed the gentleness in his hand, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.

After Lu Jingyan had settled the swelling on her face, he looked at her messy hair and frowned, “Clean up your hair.”

Su Yanxi opened her mouth but could not utter a single word. Actually, she could already imagine how pathetic she was without looking at the mirror, especially when she saw the strands of hair falling to the ground. She really had the urge to cry.

“Ms. Su…”

An anxious voice came from outside the door. The next second, Yi Yao knocked on the office door in a fluster and walked in. When she saw Su Yanxi’s red and swollen face and fluffy hair, tears instantly filled her eyes. She asked with a strong sobbing tone, “Ms. Su, are… are you alright?! That old lady is too ruthless! How can she do this! I’m so sorry, Ms. Su, I…”

Su Yanxi tidied her hair and chuckled, “You didn’t hit me. What are you sorry for? Stop crying. You’re already an adult.”

“D-Dr Lu, is Ms. Su… alright?! Look, her face is all swollen. Is she alright? Will she… be disfigured?!” Yi Yao blew her nose and looked at Lu Jingyan, who was sitting on the high-back chair, with some trepidation. She cried even harder when she said the last sentence.

Lu Jingyan glanced at Su Yanxi’s profile and said indifferently, “Yes, perhaps.”

“Agrh! What should we do? Ms. Su, you’re not married yet! What if…”

“Ahem…” Upon hearing Yi Yao’s words, Su Yanxi instinctively looked at Lu Jingyan. When she realized that Lu Jingyan was also looking at her strangely, she instantly felt a little awkward. She coughed lightly and interrupted Yi Yao.

Saying such words in front of Lu Jingyan always felt weird. In fact, it felt more like… guilt.

“Ms. Su, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” Seeing that Su Yanxi was coughing, Yi Yao hurriedly walked to her side to help her calm down.

“No…” Su Yanxi waved her hand awkwardly, feeling a little helpless.

“Ms. Su isn’t married yet?” Lu Jingyan, who was sitting on the high-back chair, looked at her with interest. Even his tone when he asked the question was a little teasing and curious.

“So what?” Su Yanxi frowned, very dissatisfied with the man’s attitude of asking the obvious.

“Nothing, I’m just curious. Ms. Su looks like she’s married.” He raised his eyebrows and replied coldly.

Su Yanxi’s lips twitched. What did he mean by she looked like she was married?

“Hm? You can tell from her appearance that she’s not married? But I think Ms. Su is quite pretty and very young! She doesn’t look like that at all!” Yi Yao, who was beside them, could not see the sharpness in their eyes at all. She even sized up Su Yanxi seriously.

Su Yanxi looked at the silly Yi Yao and then asked Lu Jingyan with a smile, “Then, Dr. Lu, are you married too?”
