Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 764 How could she have forgotten?

Chapter 764 How could she have forgotten?

As Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Yang Yang immerse in their own world of determination, Yue Ling shook her head. To her, they looked like a group of pirates on the hunt for the world's hidden treasure of gold.
From the corner of her eyes, she notices Zhao Ya'Er and glances at the woman.
"You can take a look with them. I'll need an extra pair of eyes to help find a nice set to go with the dress."
She spoke with a smile on her face. However, as she turned her head, she is met with Zhao Ya'Er's brown eyes staring intensely at her.
Zhao Ya'Er was thinking hard about something but when she heard Yue Ling, she broke freeze from her daze.
"Oh, sorry. It's not the jewelry I am worried about."
She takes a small step back as if to get a better view of Yue Ling's figure. Her brows furrow together for a second then she pouts.
"Don't get me wrong for saying this, but…"
Her words pause as she looks up at Yue Ling. She hesitated on whether to speak her mind but seeing the retired model's expression as if saying it was okay, she decides to ask.
"Will the bites on your body disappear in time?"
"…"
Yue Ling was at a loss and could only blink her eyes in confusion. In the middle of the room, Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Yang Yang heard Zhao Ya'Er and turned to look their way.
Noticing that everyone was looking at her, Zhao Ya'Er's cheeks turned red. She takes a step closer to Yue Ling and tries to lower her voice.
"I don't know if you notice, but your body is covered with red marks. Look, it's not only on your neck but also on your arms. Did you forget to close the window at night?"
Her words fell seriously, but the more she spoke, the more her frown deepens, and she tilts her head.
"But it's weird. The weather has been colder lately, so how are you getting mosquito bites?"
"…"
Yue Ling stares at Zhao Ya'Er and this time, it was her who frown. She couldn't comprehend what the woman was trying to tell her.
She glances at the other three people. She was hoping that might be able to help her but to her surprise, each person was giggling while trying to contain their laughter.
Well, more like they were snickering over something funny. Not to mention, they would often steal glances at her.
If she didn't know them, she would have thought them to be a group of high school girls ridiculing her in secret.
The space between her brows crease more together, but in the next minute, her eyes abruptly shot open.
Now she understood. From Zhao Ya'Er's confusing words to why the three people were giggling.
How could she have forgotten?!
She quickly spun around to face the mirror and like someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water on her, she was frozen in place.
Her bluish-green eyes slowly glance at each person in the room.
Zhao Ya'Er was staring back at her with an innocent look. Meanwhile, the other three people stared at her too. The only difference was, she could still see them trying to hold in their laugh.
She glances back at her reflection and forces a quiet laugh. However, deep inside, she was screaming at the top of her lungs.
Due to the commotion of having to try on so many dresses, she had forgotten the most important thing.
The mosquito bites Zhao Ya'Er mentioned were actually love-marks Lu Tian had left on her after tossing in bed together all night.
She had worn a turtleneck sweater to hide them away, but now they were clearly in view for anyone to see.
"Yue Yue, are you okay? Do the bites hurt? Do you want me to check if there's any ointment here to put on the bites?"
Zhao Ya'Er couldn't help but panic when she saw Yue Ling's complexion slowly turn pale. Could it be that the marks on Yue Ling aren't actually mosquito bites but a rash?
Yue Ling robotically turns her head to look at the woman with a Pixi-cut hairstyle. She slightly presses her lips together. Not out of anger, but because she didn't know what to say.
After what felt like an eternity had gone by, she was finally able to squeeze out two words.
"I'm fine."
Watching everything from a few feet away, Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Yang Yang were no longer able to hold back their laugh. Each person burst into heartfelt laughter with tears.
Madam Lu: "I saw them earlier but decided not to mention anything. However, bug bites? That's something new. I should have a chat with Tian about these mosquito bites."
Madam Zhao: "Don't forget to tell him to keep the windows closes at night. We wouldn't want any 'mosquitos' to keep biting Ah Ling."
Yang Yang: "Our Ya'Er is really too pure."
Yue Ling: "…"
Hearing this, Zhao Ya'Er was even more confused. She only asked Yue Ling about the bites, how did the situation turn out like this?
And why is her cousin being mentioned?
She thought to herself, but something quickly dawns on her and she flung her head to look at Yue Ling.
"Oh my—"
Before she could say another word, she covers her mouth, and her eyes that were widely opened stares at Yue Ling. She didn't dare to say anymore as she knew the meaning behind everyone's word.
However, knowing she had misspoken, she lowers her hand and averts her eyes from her friend.
"Yue Yue, I'm sorry. I thought that… You see… I didn't think… I'm sorry."
Seeing her expression full of guilt, Yue Ling could only sigh inside. Before, she had wanted to find a shovel to dig a hole for her to hide in. However, what was the point in doing so.
She raises a hand and pat Zhao Ya'Er on the head. It was a natural gesture she often did to Ji Jingxu when the boy had spoken wrongly.
"It's okay. You didn't say anything wrong."
