Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering Chapter 1548 - Taken

Chapter 1548: Taken

When Ling Hui returned to the villa, Gu ng saw that she was wet and in a terrible state. She hurriedly asked her to take a bath upstairs while she made a cup of ginger tea for her downstairs.

Ling Hui took a bath and changed her clothes before heading downstairs. Gu ng handed her the ginger tea.

“Thank you.” Ling Hui took the cup.

“Sister Ling Hui, don’t be so polite with .” Gu ng smiled.

There was only a floor lamp in the living room and the soft light shone on Gu ng’s face, making her look bright and pretty.

When Ling Hui had interacted with Gu ng before, she had changed her appearance and looked ordinary. She had only regained her real appearance in the past few days.

She was pretty and charming.

Ling Hui thought that she was smart and talented and did not think too much about it. However, when she stood in front of the floor lamp just now and smiled at her, Ling Hui felt an inexplicable familiarity.

It was as if she had seen her sowhere before.

Ling Hui tried her best to rember, but could not do so.

Seeing Ling Hui staring at her in a daze, Gu ng asked in confusion, “Sister Ling Hui, what’s wrong?”

Ling Hui regained her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” He took a sip of the ginger tea and said, “Vivian, I have to go back to Italy tomorrow. Ling Motian has his eyes on my company. If he uses any despicable thods, the company might not be able to survive. You can stay here peacefully. Once the company is safe and the murderer who wants to kill you is caught, you can go back to work.”

Gu ng frowned. “Why is Ling Motian so despicable and shaless?”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about him!”

“Then be careful when you go back and face him tomorrow.”

Ling Hui nodded.

...

A week later.

As usual, Gu ng video-called Little Gugu after dinner.

The video call rang for a long ti but no one answered. Gu ng felt that sothing was wrong.

Every day after school, Little Gugu would video call her.

Why didn’t anyone pick up today?

Gu ng called him again and it rang for a long ti. Just when Gu ng thought that no one would answer, the call went through.

“Miss Gu?”

Gu ng could hear the voice of the butler in Ye Qing’s palace and she replied, “It’s . Butler, where’s Little Gugu?”

“The little prince has a fever. The doctor just gave him an injection and he has just fallen asleep.”

Gu ng stood up from the sofa. “Is Little Gugu having a fever?”

“He had a fever of 39.8 degrees.”

Gu ng’s heart tightened. “Can I go to the palace to see him?”

“This...”

“Butler, please understand how a mother feels.”

“But the Queen has said that you are not allowed to co to the palace.” The butler glanced at Little Gugu, who was still calling his mother after falling asleep on the bed. He sighed and his heart softened. “Where are you? I’ll send soone to fetch you, but you have to wear a servant’s uniform. I’m afraid that the Queen’s n will find out.”

Gu ng gave him the address and said gratefully, “Thank you.”

After the call with the butler, Gu ng called Cen Xi.

“I’m going to the palace to see Little Gugu. I don’t think I’ll be going back to the villa tonight. There’s no need for my bodyguards to stand guard outside the palace. Let them go back and rest!”

Cen Xi humd. “Let them escort you to the palace. I’ll let them pick you up when you return to the villa.”

“Alright, thank you Xiao Xi.”

“You don’t have to be so polite with .”

...

When they arrived at the palace, Gu ng was led to Little Gugu’s room by the butler.

Little Gugu had finished the drip and she touched his head. It was still hot and her eyes were filled with heartache.

The butler brought a fever patch over but Gu ng did not put it on Little Gugu’s forehead. She went to the bathroom to bring out a basin of water and placed a wet and folded towel on Little Gugu’s forehead.

She kept changing towels through the night. The butler had asked Gu ng to rest several tis, but she had rejected him.

When it was almost dawn, the temperature on Little Gugu’s forehead finally dropped and returned to normal.

Gu ng sighed in relief.

Rubbing her sore arm, Gu ng got up and went downstairs to make breakfast for Little Gugu.

Seeing that Gu ng had not slept for the entire night, the butler reminded her to go and rest for a while. Gu ng shook her head. “When he wakes up, he will be very happy to eat the porridge that his mom made.”

The butler could only order the servants in the kitchen to co out and let Gu ng go in to make breakfast.

There was everything in the kitchen. Gu ng found lean at and mountain herbs and prepared to cook lean at porridge for Little Gugu.

After cutting the herbs and cutting the lean at into pieces, Gu ng placed her hands on the kitchen counter and crossed her slender legs.

She had not slept for the entire night. Her eyes were dry and her head was heavy. Her reaction was slower than usual. By the ti she realized that there were footsteps and that they were behind her, it was already too late.

The man was standing a step away from her. Even if she did not turn back, she could feel his deep and scorching gaze on the back of her head.

He seed to have just returned from the hospital and there was a faint disinfectant sll on him.

Gu ng stirred the porridge with a spoon, pretending not to have noticed him coming over.

But the next second, a pair of strong hands reached out from behind her and hugged her.

Gu ng froze imdiately, raising her elbow to poke his chest out of reflex.

He let go of her with a groan.

Thinking that he was still injured, Gu ng hurriedly turned around. She had not expected him to suddenly take a step forward such that the two of them stood facing each other in an even more intimate and awkward position.

They were so close that Gu ng could clearly feel his breath.

The kitchen counter was behind her and she had nowhere to retreat to. She could only look up and et his eyes. “Why were you discharged? Do you have any leads on the person who shot you?”

“Soon.”

Gu ng humd and wanted to turn around to see how the porridge was cooking, but before she could do anything, her wrist was grabbed by the man.

“What are you doing?” She glared at him angrily.

“The butler said that you were here and that I secretly got out of the hospital.” His deep black eyes stared fixedly at her, the emotions surging in them almost overwhelming her. “I heard that you’ve been video calling Little Gugu every day for the past few days, but you haven’t called once.”

Gu ng suppressed the chaotic heartbeat in her chest. “I haven’t thought about how we should get along in the future. Besides, I can’t live normally if I don’t find the assassin. I don’t want to talk about relationships for now.”

“I’ll find the assassin as soon as possible.” He brushed away the hair by her cheek, his handso face approaching her, and his slightly heavy breath landing on her skin. “I’ll get soone to bring your luggage over later. You can stay here with Little Gugu. Once I find the assassin, you can decide whether to stay or leave.”

“But the Queen won’t let co into contact with you again...”

Before Gu ng could finish speaking, the man suddenly lowered his head and his cold lips pressed against her soft ones.

Gu ng froze for a second and was about to push him away when she found that he was holding his phone and quickly took a picture of their lips touching.

Gu ng widened her eyes. “What are you doing?”

“Taking a photo for the Queen to tell her that I kissed you. If she wants to chase you away, I’ll go to the fishing village with you to be Ah Dai.”

Gu ng said nothing.
