“No, it looks especially beautiful when you look at it like this,” Huo Tian said as he entered the house. “Are you having an allergic reaction? It looks like it.”
“Yes,” Bai Ran replied as she closed the door.
“Are you preparing to apply the medicine now?” Huo Tian looked at the pile of tools and medicine on the table.
“Yes,” Bai Ran said as she sat back on the sofa and picked up a cotton bud. “What are you looking for me for?”
Huo Tian hurried over and grabbed the cotton bud in Bai Ran’s hand. “I’ll apply the medicine for you first.”
“Huh? There’s no need.” Bai Ran was stunned. She did not expect him to say that and quickly rejected him.
“Are you treating me like an outsider?” Huo Tian looked a little down.
Bai Ran was a little embarrassed. They were barely ordinary friends.
“There’s really no need. I’ll do it myself!” Bai Ran said as she took out a cotton bud again.
“If it was Chen Chen, would you still reject him?” Huo Tian asked directly.
Bai Ran’s fingers, which were holding the cotton bud, paused in the air for a few seconds before she quickly said, “What does this have to do with him?”
“You didn’t answer the question directly.” Huo Tian took another step forward.
“Then do it for me!” Bai Ran put down the cotton bud, suddenly feeling a little angry.
At the mention of Chen Chen, she recalled Chen Chen’s silence at the Chen family today.
Since he could deny his marriage in front of others, why couldn’t she just get someone to apply medicine for her?
“That’s right!” Huo Tian did not know why Bai Ran had suddenly changed her mind, but he still squatted down with a smile.
Huo Tian tapped the medicine gently with a cotton bud, looking very focused.
Bai Ran said, “How did you know I was at home? You saw me not enter the house yesterday.”
Huo Tian looked at Bai Ran as if she was an idiot and said, “Don’t I know how to ask people? Like your good sister!”
“This Ah Xin! Why did she betray me?!” Bai Ran pouted.
“Why? Are you so against me?” Huo Tian’s hand, which was holding the cotton bud, stopped.
“Not really. You came over because of the news today, right?” Bai Ran changed the topic.
“Yes, I made you suffer.” Hearing “Not really”, Huo Tian’s expression relaxed. His voice was very gentle as he continued to order medicine for Bai Ran.
“I’m fine. It was all taken from context by the media. We clearly didn’t hug,” Bai Ran said indifferently.
“Haha, they’re all saying that you’re my mistress!” Huo Tian thought of the various descriptions in those articles and found them funny.
“After all, you’re still a married man in the eyes of others!” Bai Ran said with a smile.
“I’ll announce tomorrow that I’m already divorced.” Huo Tian’s expression changed to one of seriousness.
“Huh? Why? This will affect your business, right?!” Bai Ran frowned. “The stock price might drop.”
“It’s okay, but I don’t want you to feel aggrieved. No matter what happens between you and Chen Chen, and no matter what you do with the man behind you, at least with me, I hope that you won’t be seen as a mistress.”
“If you announce it now, won’t you be telling them that I’m the one who ruined your marriage?” Bai Ran said speechlessly.
“It’s okay. I can find some fake reviewers and release a statement to change the direction of this matter,” Huo Tian said after a while, his hands still on the medicine.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Let him be.” Bai Ran waved her hand and did not care. “But speaking of which, I really have something to ask you. Do you know Chen Lin?”
“That little girl?” Huo Tian laughed. “She’s crazy. She keeps saying that she wants to chase me.”
“She does like you. She’s already discussing how to make us fall out.” Bai Ran smiled as well.
“She’s just a little girl. When she grows up a little more, she’ll forget me very soon.” Huo Tian put down the cotton bud. “It’s done. Be careful not to touch the water.”
“Then you don’t have anything else to say, right?” Bai Ran began to order him to leave.
“Are you chasing me away? I just applied the medicine for you!” Huo Tian’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
