Chapter 634 - Meeting at The Hotel

After watching Nan Zhi leave on the boat, Gu Sheng did not immediately turn around, but continued to look at the surface of the water in a daze.

Ling’er stared at Gu Sheng for as long as he was staring at the water.

She had never seen him so attached and reluctant.

It was like his soul was pulled away and all that was left was an empty shell.

Ling’er stared at his gentle and elegant back, and felt a bitterness in her heart. She did not urge him back until it was completely dark.

The cold light from the moon landed on him and she saw his loneliness.

Perhaps, his emotions could only be brought out by Sister Nan!

Ever since she had saved him a year ago, she had never seen him smile.

Ling’er tilted her head and wondered how he would look like when he smiled...

Gu Sheng turned around and looked at Ling’er, who was squatting not far away with her hands on her cheeks and looking at him. He lowered his eyes slightly. “Let’s go back!”

Ling’er hummed in reply.

She got up from the ground in a hurry, and perhaps she had squatted for too long, her calves felt numb. Before she could stand firm, she fell face down onto the ground, her face covered with mud.

She patted herself hurriedly and muttered to herself, “No wonder Brother Ah Sheng doesn’t like me. I’m always embarrassing myself in front of him.”

Gu Sheng picked up a stick and handed it to Ling’er, saying with a clear voice, “Get up!”

Ling’er grabbed the stick and used it to stand up.

They walked one after another into the mountains.

Gu Sheng did not look back, but he could feel Ling’er’s gaze on him. He took back the stick, threw it on the ground and quickened his pace, walking a few steps forward.

Ling’er also accelerated her pace.

Gu Sheng stopped, turned and looked at Ling’er. Ling’er saw his lips moving and she opened her mouth first. “Brother Ah Sheng, you are going to say, ‘Miss Ling’er, don’t always look at me, don’t like me anymore’, aren’t you?”

Gu Sheng was speechless.

Ling’er smiled and took a step forward. When Gu Sheng saw this, he backed away and increased the distance between them.

Ling’er’s heart was a little bitter but there was still a smile on her small face. “Master said that liking a person means that one would always want to look at that person. And besides, Brother Ah Sheng likes Sister Nan, so when she left, you kept looking in the direction she left.”

Ling’er cupped her face with her hands and blinked her bright eyes. “Liking you is my business, just like how you like Sister Nan and Sister Nan doesn’t like you, but you still continue to like her.”

Gu Sheng was choked by Ling’er’s words.

What she said made sense. Liking a person was not something one could control. Even he could not control himself, so how could he expect Ling’er to?

However...

“To her, I wish for nothing more than her happiness.”

Ling’er tilted her head and thought for a while before understanding the meaning in his words. She laughed playfully. “Brother Ah Sheng, what you mean is that I’m asking something from you with me liking you?”

Gu Sheng looked at the mischievous girl and it was rare that he felt angry. He turned around and strode towards the mountains without saying anything.

...

Nan Zhi arrived at the Capital early in the morning. The Qiao family had sent a chauffeur to pick her up at the airport but she did not return to the castle and went straight to the Royal Hospital.

An Feng was dozing off by the bedside and opened her eyes when she heard sounds. Looking at the travel-worn Nan Zhi, she said softly, “The weather changed the past few days and he caught a cold because he did not put on more clothes in school.”

“Let me look after him. Mom, you go back and rest.”

Nan Zhi went to wash her hands and face in the bathroom and touched Xiaojie’s forehead which was still hot.

An Feng did not leave. She looked at Nan Zhi’s slightly tired face. “Go and take a bath first, then you can sleep with Xiaojie. I’ll sleep on the bed beside.”

“Okay.”

Xiaojie’s fever did not subside and he stayed in the Royal Hospital for nearly five days.

During this period, Nan Zhi called Bai Ye.

Bai Ye said that Mu Sihan had returned to normal and the parasitic poison did not act up.

Bai Ye returned to the Capital ahead of time and asked Nan Zhi to pick him up from the airport.

While waiting for Bai Ye, Nan Zhi received Yan Hua’s call. She had nothing on in the afternoon and wanted to meet Nan Zhi for lunch.

Nan Zhi thought of Yan Hua’s body condition and wanted Bai Ye to take a look at her so she called and made a reservation.

Bai Ye came out from the airport and got into Nan Zhi’s car. When he heard that she was treating him to lunch, he said with some doubts, “One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Tell me, besides wanting to know about His Highness’s condition, what else do you want me to do?”

Nan Zhi told him about Yan Hua’s condition. “I want you to help my friend check her pulse later.”

“Your friend is silly.” Bai Ye sighed. “She knew that she can’t have children because she’s ill but she still took the risk. She must love that man very much.”

Nan Zhi pursed her lips. “She hates him.” Actually, without love, where does hate come from? When it came down to it, in Huahua’s heart, she still could not forget Bo Yan.

“Another deeply devoted person!”

Nan Zhi arranged for them to eat at a newly opened Cantonese restaurant. Huahua could not eat spicy food and Nan Zhi heard that there was a famous chef here whose Cantonese food was quite authentic. All kinds of Canton soups were also popular with female customers.

When Nan Zhi and Bai Ye arrived, Yan Hua was already in the room.

Bai Ye could not help sighing when he saw the beautiful Yan Hua, who was dressed casually, her straight black hair tied into a ponytail and exuding a youthful energy like a university student. Why was it that all the beautiful people were taken and had children?

Nan Zhi introduced Yan Hua and Bai Ye. When she heard that Bai Ye was a rare miracle doctor, Yan Hua let him take her pulse.

There was a smile on Bai Ye’s face and after taking Yan Hua’s pulse, his smile stiffened, but he did not let Yan Hua notice it.

“Your heart is really not very well. I’ll write you a prescription. Take it on time every day and it will be good for your health.”

Yan Hua smiled. “Thank you, Miracle Doctor.”

Halfway through the meal, Bai Ye kicked Nan Zhi under the table.

Bai Ye excused himself to go to the washroom.

Just as he reached the door of the washroom, Nan Zhi came over. “You call me over to tell me about Huahua’s condition? Is it serious?”

Bai Ye stretched out his hand. “How many is this?”

Nan Zhi rolled her eyes. “Five, do you think I’m stupid?”

“She can live up to that amount.”

“50 years?”

Bai Ye was silent.

Nan Zhi pursed her lips and she heard herself asking in a trembling voice, “Five years?”

Bai Ye nodded.

Nan Zhi’s body swayed and Bai Ye held onto her. “But there’s still hope. As long as you find the right heart, she can have a heart replacement surgery.”

Nan Zhi thought that she would have to ask Mu Sihan for help in this kind of matter...

On her way back to the room, the man she was thinking of just now appeared in her vision.

He came in from the entrance and right behind him was Princess Lucy.
