The Sweetest Medicine

Lu Xuechen opened his eyes wide in disbelief. A possibility exploded in his mind like thunder. He turned subconsciously and looked at Lin Jiayu who was bidding farewell to Yu Gangan not too far away.

Was Lin Jiayu possibly the ugly girl that raped him?

Was that what Fang Zhihan was trying to say?

How was that possible? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

But the two of them did indeed encounter the same thing in the same place.

Lu Xuechen froze in place, watching Lin Jiayu, silent like the deep sea.

He closed his eyes and thought about that night.

But, he had drank too much and his mind was a blur. All he remembered was a hazy figure and a terrifyingly crooked mouth when the woman removed her mask.

After sending Yu Gangan away, Lin Jiayu returned to Lu Xuechen’s side. Seeing him staring her, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Let’s go back in then.”

“You go first. I need to make a call.”

Lin Jiayu replied faintly, “En.”

Lu Xuechen stared at Lin Jiayu’s slender back and recalled her eyes as she stared at him. The more he thought about it, the more her eyes and body resembled the woman from that night.

Fearing it was a subjective feeling, Lu Xuechen took out his mobile phone and called his assistant.

He said in a deep voice, “Immediately have someone retrieve a video from that night at the bar and get the clearest photos and videos possible.”

After the reception, Lu Xuechen and Lin Jiayu returned to the Lu Family Home.

Previously, under the persuasion of Mother Lu, the couple had agree to live in the Lu Family for the first few days after the wedding.

The Lu’s villa was brightly lit and joyous. The entire villa was decorated with roses, balloons and streamers, looking romantic and poetic.

Lin Jiayu was in the bathroom for half an hour.

During this half an hour, Lu Xuechen stood outside with complex emotions.

The results of his investigation were being sent to his mobile phone soon, but it still felt really slow. It was the first time he couldn’t wait to see if it was a pleasant surprise or a terrible fright.

When Lin Jiayu came out of the bathroom, she was a little surprised to see the troubled Lu Xuechen standing outside. She immediately asked, “Is something wrong?”

Lu Xuechen replied a little uncomfortably, “No, I was simply waiting for you to finish so I could have a bath. I’m just a little tired. Aren’t you tired?”

Of course she was tired. That’s why she headed for the bathroom as soon as she got back. That way, she could have a bath and jump straight into bed for a good night’s sleep.

Lin Jiayu frowned and looked at him, “Are you having a bath here?”

“If not here, then where?” Lu Xuechen asked with a slightly evil smile. “Are you planning to kick your groom out of the newlywed room on our wedding night?”

He seemed to be joking, but Lin Jiayu was not amused at all. With a serious expression, she replied, “Don’t forget that this is a contract marriage. We already made an agreement on the contract.”

Lu Xuechen nodded in understanding, “Of course, I know, but since we agreed with my mother to stay here for a few days, it’s naturally inappropriate for us to sleep in separate rooms. What if my mother decides on a whim to come up and check on us? What will she think if she discovers us in separate rooms?”

If the couple slept in separate rooms on their wedding night, Mother Lu would definitely think they had a fight.

She may even think that their marriage was fake.

“But, your mother wouldn’t check on us, would she?” Lin Jiayu replied.
