Lu Chen frowned and said coldly, "How long will recovery take?"
"What.. What?" The female doctor was taken aback.
The man tapped his temple with his fingertip.
His imposing aura made the female doctor shiver, and she stammered with her head lowered, "If you cooperate, it will be easy, I only need one hour."
"Then, let’s start now," Lu Chen stood up.
The necessary items had been prepared by Hu Ding the night before, so Lu Chen lay down on a makeshift bed, while the female doctor, after untying the last knot, shakily approached and sat next to him,
"Admiral Lu, if I help you recover your memory, could you, spare me?"
The man turned his head, his deep blue eyes showing no fluctuation: "Yes."
The female doctor relaxed and began to prepare things with trembling hands, "Then please follow my instructions to enter your dream later."
Su Mo had been sitting in the chair for a while, idly watching the scenery outside the window and counting on her fingers for someone to return.
"Today is the most important evening," she murmured.
As the sky gradually darkened, the sound of unlocking the door was heard, and Su Mo, still seated, fixed her gaze firmly on the front door.
Lu Chen entered carrying a bag.
"Why did you take so long?" she complained somewhat.
"I went to find some things." He set down the bag, approached her with careful movements, and picked her up, "Does it still hurt?"
Su Mo was startled and began to carefully examine his face, "Lu Chen?"
She suddenly rubbed his face vigorously, and he didn’t react, letting her mess with him as he placed her on the bed.
In Su Mo’s heart, however, a huge surprise was rising. She fiercely kissed him on the lips, "This body is well worth it."
"..." A faint smile appeared on Lu Chen’s lips, but he took a tube of ointment and turned her foot toward him.
"What are you doing! We have to go out soon!" Su Mo quickly shrunk back.
"I’m applying the medicine for you, don’t move," he said, dragging her back without further discussion.
"I can do it myself!" Su Mo’s face flushed instantly, and she reached out to grab the ointment from his hand.
"Be good, you can’t see it."
As it turned out, a man who had tasted meat was indeed untrustworthy.
In the end, it was he who personally dressed her up. She was in a red velvet knee-length dress with a black short cape-style jacket on the outside and a pair of high boots on her feet.
He let her hair down, and the cherry hair tie was now around his wrist.
Su Mo was quite satisfied with the woman in the mirror. Her hair casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a touch of laziness. Her fair face, unadorned with makeup, began to exude the aura of a mature woman.
Lu Chen was quite pleased with his handiwork as well. He changed into a crisp military uniform, planted a kiss on the top of her head, and said softly, "After tonight, I’m taking you home."
Su Mo looked at him quizzically, "What?"
He didn’t elaborate, just kept a very slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
In the end, she was carried out the door by him.
Downstairs, Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian, who had prepared everything, were just about to come up to find her when the four of them met in the elevator.
"Momo, Momo! What happened to you?" Zhao Changsheng glanced at her lackluster face and then looked at Lu Chen in surprise.
Li Qian indeed had the keen eyes to pull her to his side and said in a gentle voice, "Stand here."
Su Mo lifted her eyelids, "Overexercised."
Zhao Changsheng’s face turned dark after a few seconds delay, flames shooting from her fox-like eyes as she ground her teeth and said to Lu Chen, "Did you ’eat’ her up?"
The man glanced at her, his icy gaze carrying a hint of provocation.
That familiar look, Zhao Changsheng realized, meant his memory had come back.
Her lips moved, but she made no sound.
There were two cars parked downstairs.
Lu Jin sat in the car, watching the familiar figure being carried out, his breath savage as he slammed the accelerator and drove away.
Su Mo sat in the passenger seat and still remembered to beckon Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian to get in the car, Lu Chen bent down to fasten her seat belt before driving them straight to the banquet venue.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the streetlights were on. Today, most superpower users were dressed in brand-new clothes, while the female superpower users had put on skirts.
All superpower users who had reached a certain level could enter the banquet hall with their Identity Card to attend this grand press conference.
And the venue for the event was naturally the most luxurious hotel in Base B.
At the entrance, the crowd was already bustling, with nearly half of the base’s superpower users gathered here.
The arrival of Lu Chen undoubtedly became the focus of the entire event, after all, this military-hosted banquet was widely rumored to be inseparably linked to him.
Su Mo sat in the car and raised her eyebrows at him, "Is today your coronation day?"
The man rubbed her hair, "Let’s go."
Su Mo opened the door, and as she stepped out with her legs apart, a wave of soreness and numbness hit her. If it hadn’t been for Lu Chen who had already come around the car to catch her, she might have fallen straight to the ground.
"I’ll carry you," Lu Chen said, wrapping his arm around her waist, about to lift her in his arms.
Su Mo quickly grabbed his hand, "Just support me a little. Let’s not with so many watchful eyes around."
Zhao Changsheng, trailing behind, felt irritated by their affection, Li Qian said in a gentle voice beside her, "You have to learn to accept reality."
Zhao Changsheng glared at him and huffed discontentedly, "I know."
As for the woman embraced by Lu Chen’s side, some were surprised, some had sudden realizations, and those good or bad gazes all pricked Su Mo like needles.
She seemed not to feel it, just slightly lifting her chin and entering the restaurant with a smile.
The event took place on the top floor, where the crowd was already dense, each emitting an exceptional aura, dressed to kill.
"Oh, have the lovebirds made up?" Jin Han, in casual clothes and holding a wine glass, approached them, no surprise in his eyes, his aged yellow teeth exposed in a big smile.
Su Mo laughed, "That golden tooth of yours on the front really dazzles at night."
"Hehe, anyway, congratulations," Jin Han raised his glass to them and drained it.
Lu Chen nodded to him and then led Su Mo to a private room.
Su Mo turned to Li Qian and the others, "You guys have fun here, I’ll be back soon."
Li Qian responded warmly, "Go ahead."
Inside the luxurious main private room, two groups of people sat around a huge round table.
The atmosphere was oppressively gloomy, which only dropped to an icy chill when Lu Chen walked in with Su Mo.
Jiang Yulian’s eyes burst with joy upon seeing Su Mo, while Jiang Hai had an outright dark expression, "What do you mean by this?"
Lu Chen helped Su Mo to sit on a sofa in the corner of the private room and then stuffed a small snack from the table into her hand, "Stave off the hunger."
Hungry from being tossed around all day without food, Su Mo certainly was starving. She ignored those murderous looks and nibbled on a small bun with relish.
