We were instrumental in Lu Yanâs current success. We were the ones who provided the opportunity for her to reconnect with the Gu Family. Even though our intentions werenât pure, we were trying to use her to combat Ye Qian, we had protected and helped her.
We couldnât be blamed for her inability to flourish in the Gu Family. But she had turned on us. When I had no memory, she targeted me so harshly. So who could she blame?
When I returned home, I went to look for Jing Tian directly. Mr. Li was also there.
Jing Tian was still sleeping soundly. His complexion was much better than yesterday.
âYouâre back so soon. Are you worried about him?â Mr. Li looked at me with a smile.
âWhy would I be worried when youâre here?â I replied. âBut I need you to think of the way to cure his poison.â
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment before he continued to smile. âWhy did you change your mind? I saw that you were quite happy yesterday. Isnât it good to make him unable to leave you again?â
I answered him generously, âYes. I did feel good about it yesterday. We are bound together. But now, I have second thoughts.â I looked at Jing Tianâs sleeping face with a smile. âWe donât need poison to solidify our love. We wonât betray each other. In fact, the poison will only be used by our enemies. So, help me cure it.â
Mr. Li smiled. âAlright. Since youâve thought this through, Iâll help.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I suddenly understood and smiled. âYou would have helped even if I didnât ask, right?â
He smiled but didnât say anything.
I asked him, âWhy are you so good to us?â
His hands that had been fiddling with the bottles and jars all this while paused for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at me. âPerhaps itâs fate. I find the two of you pleasing to the eye.â
I smiled. âThe smart ones are always the hardest to read.â
Daisy knocked on the door and entered. âMiss, Mr. Gu Nian is here to see you.â
I smiled. âOkay, send him in.â
I changed my clothes and went to see Gu Nian.
He looked at me with a gentle gaze. âNanxing.â
I sat down opposite him and cut to the chase. âI taught Lu Yan a lesson at the nightclub because she dared to incite Angel to target me.
Is that why youâre here?â
Gu Manâs smile froze. âNanxing, you⦠Remember everything?â âRemember what?â I asked him back.
He pursed his lips. âRemember everything from the past?â
I shook my head. âThat has nothing to do with the lesson I gave her. Even without my memory, I donât like her.â
Gu Nianâs gaze was fixed on my face.
I looked back at him indifferently. âI hate people who go around sowing discord. Plus, she is really not that good at it.â
âNanxing, what Lu Yan does has nothing to do with me. The only person I care about is you.â He suddenly cut me off.
I couldnât respond.
Gu Nian sighed. âNanxing, itâs good that youâre okay. I just came to see you.â
He stood up to leave.
I was stunned.
âGu Nianâ¦â I called out to him, but I didnât know what to say. Gu Nian turned around and smiled at me. âNanxing, rest well.â
He left, but I was stunned.
When I came back to my senses, I saw Jing Tian standing at the side door with his arms crossed and looking at me. There was a faint smile on his lips.
I hurried over. âYouâre awake? When did you wake up? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? Did Mr. Li allow you to run around like this?â I shot a series of questions. Jing Tian reached out and pulled me into his arms. He hugged me and tightened his arms..
