From Sidekick to Bigshot

“That’s enough, bring me my clothes.”

Zhai Yunsheng started feeling irritable. He wanted to shower more than anything. The sweat after exercising made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

When Zhai Yunsheng finished putting on his clothes, he saw that Jian Yiling was looking at him with a thoughtful expression on her face.

“What are you thinking about? Didn’t I agree to listen to you already? I said I wouldn’t take a shower.”

In order to stop the little girl from frowning, Zhai Yunsheng had compromised. He had agreed to not take a shower.

“Your wound will scar,” Jian Yiling said in a quiet voice.

“So what? Just let it scar.”

Zhai Yunsheng never cared for such a thing.

Wasn’t it totally normal for a man to have a couple of scars on his body?

“It’s not good,” Jian Yiling replied. If possible, it’d be better for wounds to leave no scars.

“What? Do you think I’m ugly with a scar?”

Jian Yiling didn’t reply immediately. Instead, her mind was full of different means to get rid of scars.

As a person ages, scars that were left behind by wounds would appear more and more distinct. For someone of Zhai Yunsheng’s age, such a cut would definitely leave a scar.

Jian Yiling was lost in her own thoughts.

During the time that she was thinking, she didn’t notice the way that Zhai Yunsheng was staring at her. The look in his eyes got worse by the second.

When Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling’s expression, he thought that she was thinking that he was ugly with a scar.

All of a sudden, he felt incredibly irritable.

Even Yu Xi thought that Jian Yiling disliked scars on Zhai Yunsheng’s arms.

Yu Xi immediately tried explaining the situation to Jian Yiling. He wanted to calm down Zhai Yunsheng. “God Ling, there’s nothing wrong with having scars on a man’s body. As a matter of fact, it looks pretty cool. Furthermore, the cut isn’t very deep. And the location is on the arm. It’s not a big problem. Even if there’s a scar, it wouldn’t look scary.”

Just a while ago, he had been terrified and incredibly anxious about the wound. However, now, he was telling Jian Yiling that it was not a big problem.

“I want to help,” Jian Yiling explained.

Jian Yiling thought about the scar removal cream that she had previously created. The cream had been created after many tests and experiments. It was very effective. This cream was sold by her previous institution to a pharmaceutical company at a high price.

If she made this cream the next time she went to the research institution, she could use it on Zhai Yunsheng’s wounds as they healed. The earlier the cream was used, the better the effect.

At the same time, Jian Yiling’s mind jumped to another thought.

Jian Yiling wanted to make money. However, all of her savings had been invested in Qin Chuan’s company. As a result, she couldn’t withdraw her money in a short time frame.

Furthermore, she hadn’t officially joined the research institution yet. Her salary hadn’t yet been settled.

The only money that she could get her hands right now was probably the two hundred thousand dollars that she had won from the chemistry competition.

She was currently looking for a new source of income.

Perhaps the scar removal cream could be her source of income.

“Huh?” Yu Xi asked. He was stunned for a moment before he continued, “Wait, so you don’t think the scar on Master Sheng’s arm is ugly?”

“No.”

Jian Yiling immediately responded to Yu Xi’s question. There was no hesitation in her response.

Jian Yiling didn’t even know why Yu Xi would ask such a question. Scars on Zhai Yunsheng’s body had nothing to do with her. Why would there be a reason for her to dislike that?

All of a sudden, Zhai Yunsheng’s complexion suddenly improved, “Up to you then. You can do whatever you want. When the time comes, I’ll cooperate with you.”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied as she nodded. Of course, it would be best for him to cooperate with her.

After a moment, Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling, “Then, how many days will it take for the wound to heal? I can’t keep on not taking a shower.”
