Tong Keke heard the voice and imdiately knew who it was—her English teacher, Wang Ling.
What was she doing here? And judging by how she was chatting with her uncle, it seed like the two of them had known each other for a long ti.
Tong Keke furrowed her pretty little eyebrows tightly.
In order to gather more information, Tong Keke continued pretending to sleep.
She didn’t even know why she was doing this, but sohow, she felt sothing was off.
Gu Qianxi didn’t show much interest in Wang Ling’s incessant chatter. He was simply hoping that the little one lying in bed would quickly wake up.
"Gu, um... may I ask you a bold question—do you... have a girlfriend?"
Late at night, when emotions were most prone to stirring, Wang Ling knew that if she missed such a good opportunity now, opportunities might be even scarcer in the future.
So, she set her reservations aside and boldly asked Gu Qianxi about his private life.
Gu Qianxi hadn’t expected such a question. His handso face froze slightly before he responded truthfully, "No, not yet."
"Really?" Wang Ling could hardly contain the delight in her tone.
Afterward, she shyly added, "I don’t believe it! You’re so good-looking, a young and accomplished gentleman—such an outstanding man. How could you not have a girlfriend? Is it that you have impossibly high standards? Ordinary won just don’t catch your eye."
Gu Qianxi felt a tinge of awkwardness. If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Ling had helped earlier and that their families were sowhat acquainted, he wouldn’t have bothered interacting with her at all.
"Maybe it’s just that I haven’t co across soone fated yet. When it cos to matters of the heart, it’s all about fate." Gu Qianxi responded perfunctorily.
Wang Ling was already overjoyed. As long as she found out he was still single, that ant she still had a very good chance.
She imdiately beca even more attentive and considerate. "Gu, are you thirsty? I’ll pour you a glass of water!"
"There’s no need; I’m not thirsty. It’s getting late. Let arrange for my driver to take you ho." Gu Qianxi seized the chance to usher her away.
But Wang Ling was oblivious; she thought Gu Qianxi’s words were out of concern for her.
"It’s fine. We rarely et. I want to stay a bit longer and chat with you so more," Wang Ling said, completely wrapped up in wishful thinking.
"If you go ho this late, I’m afraid your parents will worry about you." Gu Qianxi frowned. He had already figured out her intentions, but he wasn’t interested.
"If my parents knew I was with you, they wouldn’t worry no matter how late I ca ho. They know you’re a gentleman and would never take advantage of soone," Wang Ling said with utmost seriousness.
Gu Qianxi: "..."
Who exactly was planning to take advantage of whom? That was truly hard to say.
Tong Keke, listening up to here, could already piece together most of what was happening with her sensitive little heart.
No way... her English teacher had a thing for her uncle too?
Her uncle was so outrageous, attracting peach blossoms (*romantic entanglents*) wherever he went. It was enough to drive her crazy!
No, she wouldn’t let them continue this conversation any longer.
"Why is it so noisy? Can’t a person get so sleep?" Tong Keke grumbled, pretending to have just woken up, flipping over and pressing down on her arm with the IV drip.
"Keke!" Gu Qianxi, seeing her like this, imdiately called out in alarm. His tall figure moved swiftly to her side, removing her hand from her arm and holding it firmly in his large palm.
"Keke, you’re awake? Do you feel any better?" Wang Ling hadn’t expected Tong Keke to wake up so soon and looked slightly disappointed.
Tong Keke finally opened her sleepy eyes, blinking drowsily as she said, "Teacher Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Ling imdiately gave a gentle smile. "I helped your uncle bring you to the hospital."
"Oh, well, thank you, Teacher Wang..."
"Why are you still calling ’Teacher’? We’re not at school. Just call ’sister.’ I’m childhood friends with your uncle, so we’ll be seeing a lot of each other in the future," Wang Ling said, already taking herself far too seriously.
