Chapter 296 - 298 Suspicious Woman 2_1
"Miss Chenxing, don’t worry. Once the rash disappears, your skin will return to its previous smooth and shiny appearance. You’re not ugly, you’re just sick."
"How is this not ugly?" Chenxing grumbled, "Gu Shaocheng keeps saying I’m dark skin and full of facial rash, so ugly that it breaks one’s heart, that I could scare people to death."
This made her more self-conscious and she didn’t dare to look in the mirror when washing her face.
Thinking of his face wriggling in disdain towards her, she felt deeply upset. Chenxing bit her lip, recalling again that tumultuous morning and felt her cheeks heat uncontrollably.
How could he kiss her so fiercely? Didn’t he say he found her ugly? Yet he could still want to kiss her!
He doesn’t fear disgust!
Humph, she certainly wasn’t sick with love!
Worried that Doctor Tian might notice her thoughts, she kept her head even lower to hide the evidence of guilt on her face.
Doctor Tian really hadn’t noticed her slight attempts at disguise, but he couldn’t help but smile, "The gentleman might just be teasing you. It’s not as exaggerated as he says. If you’re really worried, I can give you a beauty nourishing ointment."
"Really?" Chenxing’s eyes instantly brightened.
Doctor Tian nodded, smiling.
That’s fantastic. With a sweet smile, Chenxing expressed her gratitude, "Doctor Tian, thank you."
"Mhm, hence there’s no need to worry about the rash."
Chenxing gulped at the advice, "Mhm."
It’s strange, she was conscious about the appearance of her skin around others, but not the way he did.
She didn’t mind Doctor Tian seeing her blemished skin, didn’t mind the butler and even servants seeing it. Yet every day when she showed this face to Gu Shaocheng, she felt exceptional discomfort, wishing the power would shut down around the world and the sun would stop rising.
So he won’t have to see this monstrosity!
Was it because only he would confront her with her ugliness?
Or was she just particularly sensitive to his opinions?
Chenxing was so confused!
At this time, the butler knocked and entered, walking to her and kind-heartedly asked, "Miss Chenxing, what would you like to eat for lunch? I’ll note it down so that the kitchen can prepare."
Recalling that she had to pay for everything, Chenxing became thrifty and giggled at the butler, "A bowl of white rice and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes will suffice."
The butler’s face twitched at her request. Was the Gu family going bankrupt?
"Miss Chenxing, just that much?"
"Yes!" She couldn’t afford any more!
Doctor Tian intervened from the side, "Miss Chenxing, you should replenish your nutrients now in order to recover faster."
"Then add in one plate of bok choy, enough for one person." Bok choy, tomatoes, eggs - all of these were nutritious home-cooked dishes. Chenxing nodded, "That’s it, I can’t finish more. The country is now advising against wastage! I want to respond actively to the Party’s call!"
Butler + Doctor Tian were speechless: Miss Chenxing, you really don’t need to save money for Young Master Gu.
The butler decided it would be better to make his own decisions. After exiting, he found Young Master Gu to consult his opinion.
Gu Shaocheng laughed when he heard this and said generously, "Make some nutritious and exquisite dishes. Don’t save money for me. If she likes bok choy, make her a ’Boiled Bok Choy’. You can ask the family nutritionist about how to include all the nutrients she needs for a meal in a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
