Although Aunt Yu was never married herself, she knew about love marks on the bodies of a loving couple. The only thing that she wasn’t aware of, was that some love-making sessions could be aggressive enough to leave bruises on the body.
Everyone shifted their gazes to Lin Xinyan, including Zong Jinghao. “You’re injured? Where did you injure yourself?”
Before Lin Xinyan could speak, Aunt Yu replied on her behalf, “She had slipped in the shower, and there’s a huge bruise on her waist. I saw it when her sweater rolled up during lunchtime. If I didn’t notice that, I’m sure that she wouldn’t have mentioned it.”
“Should we send you to the hospital then?” Cheng Yuxiu asked in concern.
“No, There’s no need for that. I’m fine.” Lin Xinyan struggled to maintain a casual tone as she spoke.
She was so embarrassed now that she had just wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
On the other hand, Zong Jinghao sank in deep thought. She had slipped last night?
Why didn’t I notice that?
“Let’s go! We’re going to be late!” Lin Xinyan tried to divert their attention as she helped Lin Xichen into his coat.
Zong Jinghao landed his gaze on her waist and his lashes flickered in understanding.
Cheng Yuxiu was still worried as she whispered beside Lin Xinyan. “Are you sure that you’re alright?’
“Yes, I’m really fine,” Lin Xinyan answered, without lifting her head while tying her son’s shoelace.
Cheng Yuxiu could see that Lin Xinyan did not want to continue the topic.
However, Aunt Yu didn’t catch Lin Xinyan’s obvious avoidance and asked once again, “There are no anti-slip mats for the bathroom upstairs, right? If we don’t install them, it’s easy to slip and fall.”
“We did, actually,” Cheng Yuxiu replied. In fact, they had not only had anti-slip mats. The tiles in the bathroom floor were also made of anti-slip materials of high quality, so it shouldn’t have been possible to slip in the first place. Lin Xinyan’s fall might have merely been an accident.
Cheng Yuxiu did not think of other possibilities when she responded as such.
Currently, Aunt Yu was confused. Hmm? If there are anti-slip mats, then how did our young mistress slip in the bathroom?
