Chapter 518: Chapter 515: Medicine Complete

Done!

Perfection achieved!

Gazing at the whole bowl in front of him, which had already taken on a white hue and emitted a pleasant medicinal fragrance, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh, laid down the last tool in his hand, a mixing rod, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Strictly speaking, aside from the rushed attempt last time, this was his first serious endeavor in making this ointment, and he hadn’t expected the process to go even smoother than he had imagined.

The output, both in quantity and quality, was quite impressive.

Although a few of the ingredients had been changed, the effects should still be quite remarkable, probably much better than those ointments sold outside.

After taking another long sigh, Xiao Yi finally put away the proud look on his face and picked up the last tool to start the final task—bottling.

Having visited Elder An’s home before, this time, when buying the herbs, he had also prepared a beautifully crafted glass bottle, lest such a precious ointment be stored in a substandard container, which a young girl like Chen Xue might not like.

After carefully filling a glass bottle with the ointment, Xiao Yi once again checked everything and looked at the special bottle he had chosen, his face once again revealing a hint of pride.

She should like this, right?

Xiao Yi chuckled softly and then continued to pick up another bottle and began filling it. The remaining amount from the bowl was intended as a gift for Wang Qingqing, and also for Liu Jingling, who was staying in this house. Although they weren’t exactly close, since she happened to be at home and they had met by chance, he would give her some as well.

"Mr. Xiao, I smelled a fragrance just now, what was it?"

Just as Xiao Yi had finished putting the remaining ointment into two other bottles, a radiant figure rushed in. Liu Jingling looked at Xiao Yi, who was smiling, with surprise and asked while continuously sniffing, searching for the source of the fragrance.

"You’re referring to the fragrance of these ointments," he replied.

Xiao Yi looked at Liu Jingling’s expression, smiled, and pointed to the three tubes of ointment he had just finished, then picked up a smaller bottle and smiled at Liu Jingling, "Miss Liu, your timing is perfect. This ointment is for you."

"Is... this the cosmetic product you made?"

Liu Jingling looked at the tube of ointment in her hand, suddenly realizing that this was what Xiao Yi had been tinkering with these past few days. Could he really have made it? Her face bore an incredulous expression.

Since yesterday, when she heard Xiao Yi ambitiously declare his intent to make it himself, she hadn’t really thought he could actually do it!

She felt that Xiao Yi might have found it fun, or perhaps he was just a person with a research spirit wanting to experiment.

"Yes, haha."

Xiao Yi laughed, then seemingly remembered something, "By the way, Miss Liu, didn’t you get hurt last time? You can use this ointment to completely remove those scars. Also, I noticed an old scar on your wrist last time; this can remove that as well."

Can it remove those scars?

His tone made it sound as if it truly could?

Could this ointment really be so miraculous?

However, the look of this cosmetic product, indeed, seems genuine and quite similar to those on the market, yet one wonders how he managed it?

Listening to Xiao Yi’s words, Liu Jingling’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of doubt, her gaze uncertain as she examined the ointment.

"Miss Liu, what is it?"

Xiao Yi, seeing Liu Jingling just staring at the ointment without speaking, couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s nothing, all right, thank you for the ointment, I won’t disturb you any longer."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Liu Jingling immediately snapped back to reality, grabbing the ointment in her hand, and with only a polite thank you to Xiao Yi, she turned directly and headed upstairs.

Watching Liu Jingling turn and leave, Xiao Yi’s expression briefly stiffened, and it was only when her figure moved past the kitchen door that he realized she still didn’t trust his ointment, unaware of its value.

Well, I’ve given it away already, let her do as she pleases. If she really throws it away, it’s a pity, but also her loss and fate.

At that moment of understanding, Xiao Yi felt slightly uncomfortable, but it was just a moment before he shook his head and dismissed the discomfort.

It was also about time to get ready to go to Chen Xue’s birthday party, he thought with a chuckle.

Glancing at the time, Xiao Yi also turned and headed upstairs.

Today would be his first visit to Chen Jianguo’s house, and Xiao Yi felt he had to prepare a bit, dress a little better, and tidy his hair as a sign of courtesy.

For Xiao Yi, the best clothes in his wardrobe were undoubtedly the suit worth tens of thousands that Shen Xiaoxiao had bought him and the clothes the old man had bought him. After weighing his options, Xiao Yi decided to wear the set from the old man.

This suit, since his arrival in G City, had only been worn once before when he visited Qingqing’s uncle Wang Dawei.

This was the second time.

The reason he chose this set was not that he felt the suit Shen Xiaoxiao bought was inferior to this one, but because he felt this style was relatively more casual and low-key, not as flashy as the other suit.

Plus, personally, he wasn’t too fond of the restrictive feel of wearing a suit.

After dressing and making some preparations, including taking the ointment, Xiao Yi left the villa and drove his Honda car forward.

Upstairs in the villa, Liu Jingling quietly stood by the window, her gaze complex as she watched the departing Toyota, a fleeting look of reluctance passing through her cold, beautiful eyes, but quickly replaced by a cold and resolute expression.

Xiao Yi, I will not forget your lifesaving grace, one day I will repay you!

In her heart, Liu Jingling silently repeated this, her eyes lingering with a touch of reluctance over the room, the bed where she had slept, the chair she had used, and the dressing table she used every day.

After standing idly for a long while, she finally picked up the package that had already been prepared on the bed and walked towards the door of the room.
