Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Reunion (7)
“Ah Mi’s grandmother is gravely injured and currently being treated in ‘Red Thorn’s’ infirmary. Ah Mi and Dashan are worried about her, so they didn’t co with . We agreed that once her condition stabilizes in a few days, Tan Yulin would bring Ah Mi and Dashan over.”
An Yiqing let out a soft chuckle. “Master, master, did you hear about what happened that day from the branch manager?”
She sighed inwardly. It seed calling “Master” so naturally would take her so ti to get used to. But what truly surprised her was that during her journey to Xuandu City, what she had unknowingly been hearing about was herself. The dicine Sect – it was actually her sect.
Truly, not recognizing one’s own family – even standing right at their doorstep, she still chose to walk away from it.
“I heard about it. At that ti, I was busy looking for you, running around with the youngest one. I only caught a brief ntion of it after I returned, but I didn’t pay much attention – I had no mind for other matters back then. Who would have thought that the esteed guest was actually you, little girl! Where’s the dallion? Let
see it!”
An Yiqing nodded, unpacking her luggage and taking out the black token that Ah Mi had slipped into her pocket.
“This is the one. At the ti, grandmother told
that when I found dicine Sect, I just needed to show this dallion to you, and you’d understand.”
Ye Chenghong carefully took the dallion from An Yiqing’s hands. The instant he laid eyes on it, his expression changed dramatically. When he saw the four large characters engraved on the back, “Situ Nanfeng,” his entire deanor beca electrified with emotion.
“Girl Qing, are you sure this dallion was truly given to you by that grandmother of yours?”
“Yes, absolutely.”
A look of disbelief filled Ye Chenghong’s gaze. Clutching the dallion tightly, he paced back and forth anxiously, circling several tis before abruptly turning and leaving.
Before walking out, he left only one remark: “I’m going to ‘Red Thorn’ to see an old friend. Girl Qing, get so good rest!”
After Ye Chenghong departed, An Yiqing chatted a bit longer with the An Family before being urged by everyone to head upstairs.
Gu Yelin gently held her hand, leading her into the bedroom. A familiar fresh and soothing scent imdiately filled her senses.
“So, this is where I’ll be staying?” An Yiqing wrinkled her tiny nose inquisitively.
“Yes, everything here was prepared personally by your aunt and uncle.”
Gu Yelin guided An Yiqing to the bedside, then turned to retrieve a white nightgown from the closet, intending to help her change into it.
As if sensing his intentions, An Yiqing’s face turned bright red, and she instinctively clutched at her clothes tightly.
“I… I can do it myself…”
Gu Yelin’s hand, holding the nightgown, paused mid-air. His sharp eyes softened with a hint of amusent and indulgence as he gazed at her flushed face.
He affectionately tapped her petite nose and handed her the nightgown. His voice, low and impossible to resist, resonated in her ears: “Alright, you can do it yourself. Be careful—I’ll be right outside the door. Call
if you need anything.”
Blushing furiously, she gave a ek nod. It wasn’t until the door closed that she felt a rush of relief.
An Yiqing bit her lip nervously, her dazed eyes filled with doubt. Was she always this shy before? And just how close had she and Ah Lin beco?
The very thought sent another rush of shyness to her cheeks, flushing her face even redder. She felt like a ripe tomato, emitting heat with no sign of stopping.
With clumsy hands, she quickly changed into the nightgown and took a mont to steady her wildly beating heart. Blushing, she softly called out for Gu Yelin to co inside.
When Gu Yelin opened the door and stepped in, what greeted his eyes was An Yiqing, clad in a white nightgown, standing there with her face flushed in embarrassnt. Since she couldn’t see, her lovely eyes carried a trace of helplessness and moistness, provoking an irresistibly overwhelming desire to pull her into his arms and utterly tease her.
