Qin Lu silently gazed into her eyes, then suddenly lowered his head, leaning closer to her ear, and whispered, “I missed you, does that count?”

Nan Yan:

“It counts!”

With that, she gently hugged his waist.

Qin Lu embraced her with satisfaction, lowered his head to kiss her head, and let out a barely audible sigh.

She was still too young…

Despite skipping grades and entering university early, he felt he shouldn’t act too animalistic.

At least wait until she’s twenty…

“Cough cough…”

Marcus, who happened to witness this scene as he turned around sharply, stood facing the door, hands still on it, awkwardly reminding them.

They were “reunited after a long absence,” caught up in their emotions, he understood.

But did they have to display affection right outside his office?

Were they mocking him, the single guy?

The two of them, still embracing, released each other and looked calmly at Marcus.

So, only he felt embarrassed for witnessing their affectionate moment?

The problem was, the two big shots were staring at him calmly and steadily, making him feel immense pressure, even feeling the urge to flee and surrender this place to them.

Pressed against the door, his gaze shifting and stuttering, Marcus spoke, “Is…

is there something you need?”

Qin Lu held Nan Yan’s arm and raised her injured hand. “To change the dressing.”

“Oh… um… come in then,” Marcus sighed in relief. But didn’t they just change it yesterday? It should be tomorrow!

But since they were already here, might as well do it.

Marcus swiftly fetched the ointment for Nan Yan’s wrist and then unwrapped the bandage, revealing the wound beneath.

The wound was healing, albeit slowly compared to a normal injury.

The red scar stood out starkly against her porcelain skin, resembling a burn, quite unsightly.

Qin Lu furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with concern.

Nan Yan, however, didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. She lifted her head to see the concern in his eyes, licked her lips, and explained, “It just looks a bit serious, but it doesn’t hurt.”

Applying the ointment, she only felt a cool sensation on the wound. Apart from the lack of strength, it really didn’t hurt at all.

But when her master administered acupuncture, that was when it truly hurt.

Every time she underwent acupuncture, she would break out in a cold sweat, her face pale with pain.

But she had to endure such stimulation to fully restore the function of her hand and avoid any lingering effects.

Qin Lu suppressed his emotions and gently massaged her shoulder with his large hand. “It will get better.”

Whether it was the wound or the scar, they would heal.

Nan Yan nodded noncommittally.

That much was true.

After reapplying the medication, Marcus neatly tidied up and discreetly exited his office, leaving the room for them to use. He even thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Look at how considerate he was!

Contrary to what Marcus may have thought, Nan Yan and Qin Lu didn’t indulge in affection while alone. Instead, they discussed serious matters.

She also informed Qin Lu of her intentions regarding Nolan.

Qin Lu shrugged, “It’s up to you to decide on these matters.”

Whatever she wanted to do, he would support her.

Originally, Nan Yan planned to stay at Marcus’s place until her wrist was better before returning to China.

But a phone call came in, forcing her to return as soon as possible.

Jiang Nai was missing.

Old Master An realized she was missing; in fact, she had been missing for two days.

Because everyone had been staying on the Lu Family’s side recently, Jiang Nai, not wanting to trouble them, had been living in the servant’s quarters.

She wasn’t picky about food, clothing, or lodging. As long as she had enough to eat, was warm, and had a place to sleep, she was content. Moreover, the servant’s quarters were independent rooms, so there was no inconvenience.

Jiang Nai was well-liked for her amiable personality and her responsible nature by everyone in the Lu Family.

When Mei Yi, the maid living next door, realized she hadn’t returned for two days, she went to ask Old Master An if she had gone home.

Old Master An told her that Jiang Nai was an orphan who had grown up in the welfare home. Although she did occasionally go back there a few times a month, she always informed him beforehand.

Because he would always have the driver bring some supplies for the welfare home when he sent her back.

It was impossible for her to leave without a word.

It was only then that everyone realized she was missing.

Old Master An and Old Master Lu immediately sent people to look for her.

The news that came back from the welfare home was that Jiang Nai hadn’t returned there..
