Once the Scar Heals, the Pain Is Forgotten

Chen Yannan and Song Lianlian couldn't hide their surprise. They had stayed in Junsha for the past few days and had already gained some understanding of Gao Yening's products and company. Moreover, since they were also endorsing and promoting products, Chen Yannan and Song Lianlian would definitely pay attention to Liu Yuewang.

Liu Yuewang declined the renewal of her endorsement contract, but according to the original contract, Gao Yening can still use the original GG footage, Liu Yuewang is still the spokesperson for F4 Flower Tea.

"She... she really has a daughter that big?" Chen Yannan said in a low voice, her voice filled with disbelief.

"This is too unbelievable," Song Lianlian said, still incredulous.

"One of the two beautiful female teachers at Xiangtan University. I heard there's another one, Teacher Qin, who's probably around forty too. Her figure and looks are comparable to Professor Liu's," Gao Yening said uncertainly, then nodded. "She's probably not forty, but around that age."

"What kind of monsters are these?" Chen Yannan involuntarily touched his skin.

I saw Liu Yuewang's photos in the promotional materials, and she seemed like a very elegant beauty. But who can't fake beauty in photos and videos? Everyone uses beauty filters when taking pictures and doing live streams; aren't we all beautiful?

But to my surprise, compared to the photos, the real person, without the skin-smoothing effects, had an exceptionally beautiful, supple and radiant complexion.

This is the kind of skin that girls who stay up late and have irregular lifestyles can't even imagine. They just want to turn on the beauty camera and see themselves in the lens to regain their confidence.

"It's true... No wonder a 36-year-old has a domineering CEO pursuing her." Song Lianlian believed it now. She had originally thought it was unbelievable that Gao Yening was pursuing an older woman with a daughter, and that there might be some unusual fetish involved.

In retrospect, Mr. Gao's behavior was perfectly normal.

While Liu Yuewang was downstairs, An Nuan started fiddling with her camera, taking pictures of Liu Chang'an from various angles.

"Hmm... a slightly melancholic expression." An Nuan noticed that Liu Chang'an seemed born for the camera; with the help of professional cameras and lenses, he had a great sense of atmosphere even without filters.

"Does it give you that domineering CEO vibe?"

"The rebellious feeling is like Nezha's transformed state in 'Nezha'."

"That's great... This time it's more ethereal, with that otherworldly feel of being completely untouched by the world."

An Nuan made many requests, which Liu Chang'an fulfilled one by one.

After taking many photos, An Nuan felt ashamed that her photography skills did not match Liu Chang'an's temperament.

Liu Chang'an didn't look at it, but simply took the camera, saying, "My turn."

"Ah... I... I haven't put on makeup yet, and I'm not ready." An Nuan resisted nervously.

"How can you be like this? You were so excited taking pictures of me just now, but now that it's your turn, you won't let me take pictures." Liu Chang'an casually pressed the shutter.

A beautiful girl is a beautiful girl, flawless from every angle.

"No! That expression is so distorted, like someone's an idiot!" An Nuan exclaimed after taking a look.

Girls always have to edit the photos they show their boyfriends; otherwise, it means they don't love him!

"You were always an idiot." Liu Chang'an thought it was a perfect description.

"Ugh! I'm going to hit you!"

"It's my turn to give you instructions."

"What pose should we strike?" An Nuan moved her hands and feet somewhat stiffly, as if doing warm-up exercises.

"A seductive pose."

An Nuan's cheeks flushed red. She subconsciously imagined what she should do, then raised her leg and kicked Liu Chang'an.

After playing around for a while, An Nuan relaxed. Liu Chang'an took many photos of her. Looking at herself in the photos, An Nuan thought, "How can this girl named An Nuan be so beautiful? No wonder Liu Chang'an likes her."

Liu Yuewang returned after breakfast, Liu Chang'an wanted to take some photos of them together, but both of them refused, saying they weren't wearing makeup and weren't feeling well.

An Nuan felt that Professor Liu was too elegant, and that her own outfit today made her look less elegant standing next to Professor Liu, like a mere supporting character.

Liu Yuewang felt that if she returned to her original state, she might lose to An Nuan in terms of youthful and lively feeling. Moreover, she did not bring the three-piece set that mature women usually wear for photos: cheongsam, scarf, and small fan. It was inevitable that her temperament would not be at its peak.

Liu Chang'an had no choice but to give up. A woman's mind is a jumbled mess, just like a pig's trotter and potatoes stewed in a pressure cooker until they're mushy and watery.

Liu Yuewang was back to normal and could go home. At noon, she called the hotel front desk and applied for a late check-out. After waiting for Professor Ling to arrive, the four of them got ready and rode in Liu Yuewang's car back to their home in the Juyuan Garden community.

An Nuan and Liu Chang'an went to class.

Liu Chang'an arrived at the classroom. The afternoon classes were held in a large classroom. Su Nanxiu did not come. She sent Liu Chang'an a message saying that she was busy treating Li Hongfang's injuries and asked Liu Chang'an to keep an eye on whether Zhu Juntang brought her books to class.

Liu Chang'an smiled. Although Su Nanxiu was disappointed in Zhu Juntang, she did care about Zhu Juntang very much.

Zhu Juntang came to class, but she didn't bring her books. Unexpectedly, she brought Bai Hui with her.

"I didn't bring it." Liu Chang'an was a gentle person, and promptly sent a text message to Su Nanxiu to let her know so she wouldn't worry about it.

For some reason, Zhu Juntang seemed somewhat excited and waved to Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an walked over and was about to sit down when Zhu Juntang got up and let him sit down next to Bai Hui, while she took a small cushion and moved to a spot away.

"What are you doing?" Liu Chang'an asked casually as he sat down.

"We two fairies, one on the left and one on the right, don't we look like your left and right protectors?" Zhu Juntang made a gesture of surrounding the moon with her hands raised diagonally towards Liu Chang'an, her palms flapping back and forth.

"Not at all." Liu Chang'an didn't need such a useless protector. Protectors were there to protect important figures within the sect. Zhu Juntang would only need protection and be a hindrance. The two protectors under the Saintess of the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, one dog's combat power was at least equal to that of ten sheep.

"Aren't you going to recruit Bai Hui into our sect?" Zhu Juntang asked in a low voice, her hand resting on Liu Chang'an's shoulder and her chin on the back of her hand.

"She doesn't have superpowers." Liu Chang'an pushed her face away. Zhu Juntang herself got in through connections and wasn't qualified to be the introducer.

"She has it!" Zhu Juntang pointed at Bai Hui.

"Vulgar." Liu Chang'an pried Zhu Juntang's fingers off.

Bai Hui brought her laptop and placed it on the table. She was processing An Nuan's photos. She didn't have any classes this afternoon. She had lunch with Zhu Juntang, who asked Bai Hui to accompany her to class in the afternoon. Bai Hui thought she had nothing else to do, so she came over.

Bai Hui couldn't hear what Liu Chang'an and Zhu Juntang were saying, but she vaguely sensed that it was related to her. Worried that Zhu Juntang was saying something incoherent, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"What are you doing in our class?" Liu Chang'an turned around and asked Bai Hui.

"I'll accompany Xiao Tang to class," Bai Hui said, restoring the minimized image editing software interface and pointing to An Nuan's image. "I'll edit the photo."

Zhu Juntang gently shook her head. Women in the stage of unrequited love or crush on someone like to do self-torture, letting themselves feel that desolate, heartbreaking, and sorrowful bitterness.

He clearly likes Liu Chang'an, yet he edits photos of his girlfriend, making An Nuan's pictures look beautiful. Isn't that self-torture?

Luckily, I'm a fairy, not an ordinary woman. I wouldn't be foolish enough to like a guy like Liu Chang'an and do something so stupid.

"Thank you." Liu Chang'an was surprised to see that Bai Hui's photo editing skills were actually quite good... Women always have a great talent for this kind of thing. Although photo editing is not just about portrait processing, they are more skilled and can get started more quickly when it comes to beautifying people.

"If you want to thank me, just treat me... treat Xiao Tang and me to something." Bai Hui smiled, looking like she was taking the opportunity to extort some money from Liu Chang'an.

"No problem." Liu Chang'an is always more likely to agree when others treat him to a meal, and he's equally likely to agree if the task he's asked to do is treat others to a meal.

"What's so fun about eating? What do you want to eat? I'll have the chef bring it over later... Then let's go play Dou Dizhu in my car, shall we?" Zhu Juntang hadn't yet found a revenge plan that could completely suppress Liu Chang'an, but that didn't stop her from getting restless because she felt there was an opportunity to get revenge on Liu Chang'an.

"Playing cards? Xiao Tang, why do you suddenly want to play cards?" Bai Hui asked curiously.

"When we play cards, the winner can wrap duct tape around the loser until he's completely tied up! We'll team up to beat up Liu Chang'an and turn him into a mummy." Zhu Juntang clasped her hands together, gripping Liu Chang'an's arm, her teeth clenched in a serious expression, as if this was something she could definitely do if she risked her life.

Liu Chang'an couldn't help but think that if those things hadn't happened between him and Su Nanxiu, and they had continued on peacefully, and if they could have a child as she said, but the child was born and grew up to be like Zhu Juntang, he probably would have run away from home.

Zhu Juntang was very confident. Last time, the main problem was Qin Yanan, the traitor, who wasn't on Zhu Juntang's side. However, Bai Hui and she were both in the same fairy camp, and they were both looking forward to teasing and playing tricks on Liu Chang'an and were working very hard.

"Can we win?" Bai Hui asked worriedly. She had seen a video of a goat that saw an SUV parked by the river where it usually drank water. The goat refused to go around it and insisted on ramming the car until it passed out... That was Zhu Juntang in front of her.

"Don't worry, we can cooperate." It's human nature to forget the pain once the wound has healed, so Zhu Juntang said confidently.

Bai Hui recalled that back at Gao Dewei's house, even when she and Miao Yingying were together, they couldn't beat Liu Chang'an at all!

Is Zhu Juntang a better helper than Miao Yingying? Bai Hui was highly skeptical.
