To Gu Mang, the members of the Lei family were akin to houseflies. The kind of houseflies that you could not kill.
How annoying!
Both big bosses agreed unanimously that ‘cutting hair on the first month of the lunar year kills the uncle.’
They wanted to try it out.
Gu Mang dried her hair with the towel before pressing it on her head and removing Lu Chengzhou’s singlet to check his injuries. She had been doing this for more than half a month yet Lu Chengzhou still stiffened up.
Gu Mang lowered her eyelids and her eyelashes masked all the emotions in her eyes. Lu Chengzhou had numerous dark brown scars on his waist and stomach, which were quite unsightly. Even he himself could not bear to see them. When he saw Gu Mang frown, he thought that she despised them and became even more nervous.
Clearing his throat, he said, “I’ve already contacted a cosmetic surgeon. I’ll get the surgery done in a week’s time.”
Gu Mang did not react abnormally and had an unconcerned expression on her face. “Oh.”
Looking at her lukewarm reaction, Lu Chengzhou emphasized, “It’ll be the same as before.”
He sounded as though he were more concerned about his appearance than a woman. Gu Mang looked at him with her dark eyes.
Moments later, she laughed out loud and her eyes were crinkled. “What are you anxious about?”
She would just turn off the lights if she didn’t want to see scars. It was fine as long as his face was dashing when she went out with him.
Lu Chengzhou had no idea what Gu Mang was thinking about. He said in a serious manner, “How can I not be flustered? After all, I only managed to get to where I am with my looks. I’m afraid that the affection will be lost as the beauty withers away.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and suddenly touched his abs. For a moment, Lu Chengzhou had a reaction that surprised her. He did not hide from her touch and was very open to it.
Gu Mang shot a glance.
Lu Chengzhou felt as though he could get really horny by her touch when he saw her ‘I am used to this’ expression.
Gu Mang licked her lips and touched another time before retracting her hand. “The texture feels fine. It should not be a huge problem.”
Lu Chengzhou was silent. She knew quite well. Gu Mang had been accompanying Lu Chengzhou in his rehabilitation all this time. The Lu family seemed to have an eye for beauty that was handed down from their ancestors. The Lu residence had an air of antiquity with cloisters and an oriental-style huge bonsai at the entrance.
Other than the huge bonsai that created good feng shui, the Lu Manor was much more exquisite than the Lu residence in all other aspects. The design was low profile yet extravagant and had a mix of Chinese and modern influences. The garden was as beautiful as a painting and the common flowers and plants seemed unworthy of the Lu Manor.
In conclusion, there were only three words to describe the complex: I am rich.
…
In the garden.
Gu Mang nestled in a padded chair in the posture of a big boss with her legs crossed. There were two plates of dried mangoes and strawberries on the table as well as several other desserts and snacks.
As she ate, she looked at Lu Chengzhou doing his rehabilitation exercises. She had a smile on her face as though she were enjoying her work. Everyone could see that the big boss’ mood today was as good as the weather.
The sun was illuminating every corner of the land.
Lu Chengzhou walked for thirty minutes and his steps were steadier than yesterday. The moment he returned, he could see the smile on her face.
Raising his eyebrows, he sat down beside her, and faced her. “Is there anything good?”
Gu Mang turned her face while lips remained upturned.
She was happy. She had felt like this once in the past while she was in Red Flame. It was just like Lu Chengzhou’s frozen expression when he knew about her aliases. She was happy to remember it.
However, she definitely could not say something like “I feel good when I see that you’re doing well.”
Giving it a thought, she cared about his emotions and so she said harmlessly, “Isn’t it good that you’re able to get out of bed?”
She sounded submissive, revealing that she was in a good mood.
He laughed and said in an amorous tone, “Are you that happy that I’ve recovered?”
The smile on Gu Mang’s lips froze and she stopped talking.
