On Sunday, Xia Ruya invited Ning Shuqian to Floral Lingo Pavilion for a beauty facial and spa. The two agreed to meet there.

Xia Ruya arrived way before Ning Shuqian did. While flipping through the beauty magazines on display at the beauty parlor, she chanced upon an advertisement which read: “We’ll be introducing a new series of Traditional Chinese Medicine imperial products that were widely popular during the ancient times. Treat your skin to a pleasant and 100% natural Traditional Chinese Medicine experience here at Floral Lingo Pavilion! Please stay tuned!”

The advertisement had piqued her interest. She knew of an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who had concocted a type of medicated cream that had wound-healing and skin-whitening effects. Unfortunately, it could not be used regularly like a cosmetic product. However, the experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner told her that ancient beauty secrets and techniques were far more potent than those of today.

She asked the service assistant curiously, “When are the Traditional Chinese Medicine products and treatments going to be launched?”

“I’m not too sure, but they’ll probably be launched before the end of this year!” answered the unsure service assistant.

Xia Ruya nodded. She was not worried about the quality of the products since Floral Lingo Pavilion was a world-class beauty parlor. Hence, she decided to try the Traditional Chinese Medicine products and treatments once they were launched.

Ning Shuqian strutted into the parlor gracefully with her purse in hand. Xia Ruya hurriedly placed the magazine back onto the bookshelf and walked towards her gleefully. “Aunt Ning, you’re here.”

Ning Shuqian held her hand and said, “Sorry to have made you wait!”

Ning Shuqian’s cheeks were rosy and her skin was radiant. She seemed to be extremely fresh and energized, too. Clearly, she had been living rather comfortably of late.

“Aunt Ning, you’re glowing and you look great! You’ve already fully recovered, haven’t you?” Xia Ruya asked smilingly, seemingly genuinely happy for her.

Ning Shuqian was hospitalized after Wen Xinya was admitted to the hospital. Uncle Wen had been beaten into a pulp, too. However, the culprit still had not been found. She did not believe that Wen Xinya was innocent.

Ning Shuqian sat down on the chair and said, “I’m so heartened to see how concerned you are about my health. You visited me at the hospital every day when I was injured and even called me regularly to check up on my situation after I was discharged. You’re so much more meticulous than Yuya.”

Feeling a little shy, Xia Ruya said, “You treated me like your own when I was staying with the Wen Family previously. Hence, it’s only right that I show you more concern on Yuya’s behalf, now that she’s away.”

“You’re just so kindhearted!” Ning Shuqian exclaimed in gratification, extremely touched by her words. During her hospitalization, she had indeed missed her daughter who was abroad very dearly. She only felt much more comforted after chatting with Xia Ruya regularly over the phone.

Trying to change the subject, Xia Ruya said, “By the way, Aunt Ning, how’s your recovery going? Will there be any repercussions?”

Ning Shuqian answered with a grin, “The recovery is going well and the doctor said that there’s no major problem. There’ll be a scar, though. Fortunately, it’s not too obvious and can be concealed with some makeup.”

Xia Ruya quickly grabbed the magazine that she had been reading earlier on and flipped to the advertisement which caught her attention. “Aunt Ning, Floral Lingo Pavilion is going to be launching a new series of Traditional Chinese Medicine beauty products. I heard that they can reduce scars. You should really give them a try once they’re launched. Perhaps, they might be effective!”

Ning Shuqian took the magazine from her hands and perused the content carefully before saying, “The effects of the ancient beauty serum that Floral Lingo Pavilion had launched previously were truly amazing. Their new products should be very effective, too. Let’s try them together when they’re launched.”

Xia Ruya nodded smilingly.
