Chapter 258: Well Known in the City 3

Lu Yan said, “I didn’t hear anything.”

“…” ‘Everyone was talking behind your back, of course, not in front of you. What is the lord trying to do? Are you just going to bury your head in the sand?’

Dong Jing was speechless.

“As long as they don’t jabber in front of me, I don’t care.” Lu Yan understood what Dong Jing was implying and said, “We, the Lu family, have long been cursed at and called names because we became the richest family in recent years. The Lu family cannot go on without an heir! It’s not as if I’ve never heard of those gossips before.”

“…” How can that gossip be compared to the current situation? The rumors outside were spiraling unbelievably, quickly reaching the point where people were saying that the master was actually a eunuch.

“No need to mind them.” In a reversal of roles, Lu Yan was now consoling Dong Jing.

Dong Jing felt like crying but no tears were coming out. He lifted his hand and rubbed his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he suggested, “Master, how about you head to Huayue Pavilion to distract yourself?”

“…” Lu Yan looked up.

He glanced at Dong Jing with an incredibly complicated expression.

Locked in the gaze, Dong Jing’s head hung lower and lower; he was very embarrassed. “This servant was just suggesting…suggesting…”

Lu Yan scoffed.

Dong Jing no longer dared to say anything.

He left the room hurriedly under the pretext of having to use the toilet.

When Lu Yan was left alone inside the house, he yelled out for Lucky. The white cat’s ears were very sensitive. It quickly jumped off the wall and bounded up onto the window. Pushing the window open with a paw, it jumped inside. It then shut the window in a cute and obedient manner before rushing to Lu Yan. Before jumping into the arms of its master, it even rubbed its paws on the carpet. After making sure that there was no dust in its claws, it finally leaped into Lu Yan’s arms.

Lu Yan patted the white cat. Suddenly, his constant calm expression became more conflicted.

Lu Yan let out a heavy sigh.

He picked up the cat and somewhat weakly rubbed his face into the white cat’s soft body.

White cat, “…”

‘Master, have you gone mad!’

The most its master ever did previously was carry it in his arms or let it rub itself over his shoulder.

When did the man ever use his face to rub it?

At this moment, the white cat felt that its master was especially vulnerable.

It was as if he had suffered a grave injury.

Half an hour later.

Dong Jing knocked on the door again. After receiving permission to enter, Dong Jing entered the room sheepishly. After a long moment of silence and just when Lu Yan was about to ask him to get out, Dong Jing said, “Master, I didn’t mean to disrespect you. I was just worried for you, which is why there is something I’d like to say.”

“Speak.” Lu Yan’s voice was a little sickly, and it sounded as if he was not interested in hearing anything.

“Master, please have mercy on me after I’ve said my piece,” Dong Jing first said as he got onto one knee.

“It depends on the situation,” Lu Yan said lightly.

“…”

Dong Jing raised his gaze and glanced at his master who did not even bother sparing him a look. He just laid there quietly, hugging the cat in a daze. Even his emotions had been toned down. Gritting his teeth, he spoke up.

“Master, I know that there’s nothing wrong with you and that you’re healthy.

“But I think you might have some psychological barriers when it comes to certain aspects.

“This servant thinks that while Miss Qi may be an odd individual, she really has a connection to the Divine Physician Su Hexiao!

“She managed to cure Heir Pei’s stubborn illness that lasted many years. Thus, with regards to your mental disorder, or sickness… I think Miss Qi could definitely cure you too.”

His string of words popped like firecrackers. Dong Jing realized after he said them in one breath that he had spoken too much.

However, he just wanted the master to receive medical treatment as soon as possible.

The master would not scold him, right?

Lu Yan, as it turned out, did not scold him. Instead, he insisted, “I’m not ill!”
