Meng Xi'er's appearance had completely disrupted his calm this evening.
Actually, the moment Qi Shao brought her in, he had recognized her.
But he kept silent, simply wanting to teach her a lesson.
The old Meng Xi'er was like this too. Wherever he went, she followed. Even when he was hanging out with friends, she insisted on coming along, to an annoying extent.
Back then, everyone around him knew that he had a tagalong, not just for meals but also for hangouts. If possible, Lu Yebai had no doubt that she'd want to tag along when he went to the toilet.
If he scolded her, she'd just stare at him with those big innocent eyes, sweetly saying, "I like you, that's why I want to follow you. Is there anything wrong with that?"
It simply made him...
Speechless.
Young Lu Yebai always thought that one day, he might die of annoyance due to Meng Xi'er.
Until one day... she hit Yun Qiyan with her car.
Gradually pulling his thoughts together, Lu Yebai rubbed his brows, thinking of Meng Xi'er's face being slapped by Qi Shao.
He was going to break that guy's hand one day!
Lu Yebai stopped the car in front of a pharmacy and said to the salesperson, "Do you have any medicine for treating swelling?"
The deep, magnetic male voice startled the sleepy salesperson. She lifted her gaze and was taken aback by the young man's handsome face.
How could someone be so good-looking in this world?
"Do you have any medicine for treating swelling?"
Lu Yebai repeated, seeing her staring blankly at him.
"We do have!"
The excited salesperson nodded, went back to find the medicine, and then asked, "What caused the swelling?"
Lu Yebai hesitated, "A slap..."
...
With a pile of medications in hand, Lu Yebai sat in the car, frowning at the plastic bag full of medicines.
There was stuff to ingest, to apply, and to spray...
All sorts of medication.
What was he doing?
That woman, she deserved to be taught a lesson. Why did he have to buy her medicine?
It would be better if she dared not to follow him.
Such a woman, ruthless and stubborn, why should he buy her medicine?
Even though he thought so, Lu Yebai still placed the medicine aside and started to drive home.
While thinking about how to give the medicine to Meng Xi'er under some pretext, he soon arrived at the Lu Family's place.
"Young Master, you're back!"
The butler greeted Lu Yebai with a big smile, "Have you had your dinner? I tried to call you earlier but couldn't reach you. So, I asked Miss Xixi to find you." He glanced at the passenger seat and wondered, "Oh? Didn't Miss Xixi come to find you?"
"You asked her..." Lu Yebai paused, "to find me?"
"Yes. Today madam went to play mahjong at the Zhou Family and won't be back for dinner. I wanted to inform you via phone call but I couldn't get through, so I called Miss Xixi and asked her to notify you." As the butler saw Lu Yebai's face looked stranger and stranger, his smile became restrained, and he carefully asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
