"It's alright, I'll help you get rid of it," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Jiang Chen," Lin Bingbing replied with a sweet smile. She had no doubts about Jiang Chen's abilities; although modern medicine struggled to completely remove scars, he could achieve it.
At the Lin Family Villa, Lin Bingbing's family paced anxiously in the hall.
Suddenly, the sound of a car outside brought them joy. They rushed out to see that Lin Bingbing had returned. The Lin Family sighed in relief, but their expressions darkened when they saw Jiang Chen stepping out of the car as well.
"Bingbing, where have you been? The banquet is about to start! Hurry up and change your clothes. And remember to wear a long dress—no off-shoulder evening gowns!"
"As for you, Xiao Jiang, thank you for bringing my daughter home. We have things to attend to tonight and can't entertain you, so please go back," Mother Lin said lightly as she approached, issuing an unwelcoming dismissal before Jiang Chen even stepped into the house.
"Mom, what are you doing? Jiang Chen is coming with me to the Shi family tonight. If he doesn't go, then I won't go either," Lin Bingbing exclaimed loudly.
Mother Lin's brows furrowed in displeasure, but seeing her daughter's stubbornness, she knew this was not the time to argue.
"Fine, take him with you. Just remember not to worry about his safety. You should know how the Shi Family would react if they see you with another man," Mother Lin sneered.
"You don't need to worry about that. Come on, Jiang Chen, let's go to my room," Lin Bingbing said, pulling Jiang Chen's hand and leading him away.
"This is driving me crazy!" Mother Lin exclaimed in frustration as she stomped her foot but felt powerless against her daughter, who had grown defiant.
"Mom, don't worry. As long as Bingbing attends the engagement banquet later, it's fine. As for that guy, I think he's asking for trouble by daring to show up at the Shi family’s place. He won't even know how he ends up in trouble," Brother Lin scoffed.
"I'm just worried that Bingbing might leave a bad impression on the Shi Family; we can't afford to offend them at all," Mother Lin expressed her concerns.
"By the way, Mom, I just thought of a good idea," Brother Lin suddenly said with inspiration.
"What good idea?" The Lin Family turned their attention to him.
"Not everyone can enter the banquet venue later. We'll let that guy tag along, and when we get to the hotel entrance, we'll just say we don't know him and have security keep him outside. If the Shi Family asks, we'll say he's just a fan of Bingbing's—some fans can be quite crazy these days," Brother Lin laughed, clearly pleased with his plan.
"That's a good idea."
"Not bad at all; let's do it."
It was indeed a clever plan that received unanimous approval from the Lin Family.
In her room, Lin Bingbing changed into a revealing lace nightgown and shyly approached Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the burns on Lin Bingbing's thighs and back; they were indeed quite noticeable.
"Close your eyes," Jiang Chen said.
Lin Bingbing obediently closed her eyes. The warmth from the heating in the room made her feel flushed. Although it wasn't her first time alone with Jiang Chen, this time her emotions were different. Thoughts raced through her mind as she anticipated what Jiang Chen might do next. She even considered simply embracing him.
Suddenly, a strange sensation rippled across the scars on her thigh and back, a feeling that was both exquisite and comforting.
