It was obvious that Xu Nuo didn't believe the dark ointment could heal Lu Anran's abdominal scars.

Yet Lu Anran confidently said, "Action speaks louder than words, just apply the ointment to my wound!"

Even though Xu Nuo didn't believe in the scar removal cream's effectiveness.

Lu Anran, on the other hand, was utterly convinced.

Because she knew that Chen Nan was no ordinary person.

"You are being totally unreasonable!" Xu Nuo shook her head helplessly but still applied the scar removal cream to Lu Anran's wound with a cotton swab, "Anran, you better not blindly trust your lover, or you will definitely get hurt."

Lu Anran lay smiling on the couch, a faint smile on her face, "How about we make a bet?"

Xu Nuo snorted disdainfully, "Bet on what?"

Lu Anran's smile remained unchanged, "If I win, you will be my maid for a month."

Xu Nuo, "And if I win?"

Lu Anran shrugged her shoulders, "If you win, you can deal with me however you want."

"Fine." Xu Nuo agreed without even thinking about it, because she knew Lu Anran couldn't possibly win.

Soon, Xu Nuo had applied the scar removal cream to Lu Anran's scar, which looked dark and emitted a faint medicinal scent.

"Hey, you haven't told me, how did you meet your lover?" Xu Nuo asked curiously after putting away the scar removal cream.

She and Lu Anran had been close friends since childhood, the kind with no secrets.

Such as the first heart flutter.

The first time a boy held her hand.

The first kiss.

Even the first time sneaking forbidden fruit.

But.

Regarding the sudden appearance of Lu Anran's lover, she hadn't heard her friend mention him before.

Lu Anran lay lazily on the couch, her fair face breaking into a charming smile, "We haven't known each other long, just three days, I guess!"

Xu Nuo couldn't help but say, "You two got together in just three days?"

Lu Anran shrugged nonchalantly, "Is there a problem?"

"You really are can't help yourself!" Xu Nuo shook her head helplessly and then said, "Well, you've been pregnant for ten months without any sexual activity, now that you've delivered, you must feel like a cat in heat."

Lu Anran gave her a resentful look and said irritably, "We fell in love at first sight, do you understand love at first sight?"

She didn't mention that Chen Nan had saved her life, some things she didn't want to disclose lightly, considering it related to Chen Nan's predictive abilities.

Xu Nuo curled her lip, "I can't be bothered to burst your bubble, but that's love at first sight? You clearly had different intentions the moment you laid eyes on him!"

Lu Anran just smiled, without offering any explanation.

To be fair,

even without mentioning Chen Nan's predictive abilities,

just his looks and his ethereal aura were enough to make many women swoon over him.

At that moment,

Lu Anran's face suddenly changed; she incredulously glanced at the spot on her lower abdomen and excitedly grabbed Xu Nuo's hand, "Nuonuo, it's so itchy!"

"Not..." Xu Nuo looked at her in astonishment, "I'm a woman, not your lover, I can't help you with your itch!"

After pausing, her face broke into a meaningful smile, "If you really want me to help, I can go get a cucumber from the fridge. It's cool and textured; you've probably never used one, right?"

"If you don't want to use a cucumber, missy here wouldn't mind trying my fifth sister." She extended her tender, smooth tongue and licked her seductive red lips in a sexy and enchanting manner.

Lu Anran blushed and scolded, "What are you thinking, you floozy? The itchiness I'm talking about isn't what you're imagining—it's the wound that itches."

Xu Nuo gasped in shock, unable to resist saying, "Damn, could this ointment actually work?"

She knew that once a wound began to itch, it meant it was starting to heal.

But just.

She couldn't believe that a bottle of blackish ointment could actually be so effective.

Lu Anran lay on the bed full of expectation, not disguising her excitement at all, "We'll know in an hour if this ointment works."

Chen Nan had told her before to apply the ointment to the wound and wash it off after an hour to see the results.

An hour seemed short.

But for Lu Anran at that moment, it felt like an eternity, making it a torturous wait.

------

An hour later.

Lu Anran couldn't wait to pick up the baby wipes by her side and under Xu Nuo's nervous gaze, wiped the light yellow ointment off the wound.

Once the ointment was wiped off.

Both Lu Anran and Xu Nuo were stunned on the spot.

The originally dark red scar looked like a centipede lurking on Lu Anran's lower abdomen, fierce and frightening.

But now.

The dark red scar had faded significantly, leaving only a faint mark, forming a stark contrast to before.

"Baby, you lost," Lu Anran said excitedly. Although she had guessed that Chen Nan's scar-removing ointment was effective,

seeing the scars on her body fade so much still left her heart incredibly excited and thrilled.

Xu Nuo, too, snapped out of her shock, her face full of amazement, "I really didn't expect the scar-removing ointment your sweetheart made to be this effective. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe it!"

Lu Anran raised an eyebrow, "You agreed to the bet, now you have to babysit for a month!"

Xu Nuo scoffed lightly, "Missy here is a woman of her word, naturally, I won't go back on my promise."

Changing the subject, Xu Nuo couldn't help but say, "When will you set up a meeting for me to meet your sweetheart?"

Lu Anran looked suspicious, "I thought you didn't like men?"

She had had a boyfriend before, yet even when discussing marriage, Xu Nuo never met him.

It wasn't that she didn't want to introduce her boyfriend to Xu Nuo; she knew that Xu Nuo harbored a disdain for men.

So.

This time, her initiative to meet Chen Nan made Anran very curious.

"Missy indeed does not like men, but your sweetheart is no ordinary man!" Xu Nuo's lips curved up, radiating a touch of elegance.

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense,"

"I must tell you, I'm really impressed by his scar-removing ointment."

"This ointment might look unattractive, but its medicinal effects are truly astonishing."

"Although there are scar-removal products on the market, none of them are entirely satisfactory, and they're ridiculously expensive."

Hearing this, Lu Anran immediately understood her intention, "You want to collaborate with my husband Chen to produce and sell the scar-removing ointment?"

Xu Nuo nodded, her eyes revealing an unmistakable gleam of excitement, "What do you think? If we mass-produced this scar-removing ointment and launched it on the market, what would the response be? Would we make a fortune?"
