Gu Ningyue quickly reviewed the whole incident in her mind, from waking up to everything that happened today.
These absurd things, if it were her past self, she wouldn’t have believed either.
But now, these have already happened. How to escape Ling Tianyou’s questioning and avoid others’ attention is the most important thing at the mont.
"Speak up! What’s going on?" Ling Tianyou sat opposite Gu Ningyue with his arms crossed, his eyes like a hawk’s, staring at her as if she were a naked girl stripped bare in his sight.
Gu Ningyue sat on the edge of the bed, feeling increasingly insecure: "You know my body hasn’t been feeling right lately. I was actually born with a hidden sickness, and Mr. Chen discovered it last ti we t. That’s why I asked you for Mr. Chen’s address so that I could visit him."
This was both true and false; saying it was a hidden sickness was actually more accurate to call it a secret.
Ling Tianyou slightly frowned: "A hidden sickness? What kind of sickness?"
He had previously checked Gu Ningyue’s records, and although Ning Yue was sowhat weak, there were no actual health issues.
Where did this hidden sickness co from?
Gu Ningyue lightly coughed, "How should I put it? This illness doesn’t show up until a certain age. My recent sleepiness and distraction are also due to this reason."
She could only say this; otherwise, she feared Ling Tianyou would dig into it and find she was lying.
At least she could guarantee that ninety percent of what she said was true.
Indeed, her health was problematic, and she discussed this matter with Mr. Chen, no more.
"What is the na of the illness?" Ling Tianyou was half convinced: "I know so pretty good doctors. Should I have them examine you?"
Gu Ningyue paused in surprise, "Mr. Chen said it’s called... D-Penny syndro."
Ling Tianyou’s emotions flickered in his eyes: "D-Penny syndro? I’ve never heard of it."
Gu Ningyue awkwardly replied, "It’s a rare illness that affects less than one in ten thousand worldwide."
Ling Tianyou remained silent for a while, not dwelling too long on the na: "Then you’re asking Mr. Chen about the illness, why won’t you let listen in? You don’t trust ?"
He’s so good to Gu Ningyue, just because of an illness, excludes himself.
Could it be he’s not worthy of knowing the truth?
Gu Ningyue hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no. This matter is related to Mr. Chen, so I’m afraid to make decisions selfishly..."
Mr. Chen knew her secret, clearly different from ordinary people.
If Ling Tianyou overheard that conversation, how could she explain it?
To be safe, she’d rather avoid raising extra concerns.
"Related to Mr. Chen? What do you an?" Ling Tianyou was puzzled, "Your illness, does Mr. Chen have a way to treat it?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes! But Mr. Chen said he would only tell the treatnt thod if I retrieve the Blood Jade for him."
Ling Tianyou was slightly taken aback, "You’re talking about the Blood Jade that Lin Ruixian from the Lin Family has?"
Lin Ruixian had a peculiar personality, not caring about power; it couldn’t be solved with money.
Moreover, the Lin Family isn’t lacking money.
What wealthy people want is respect.
Yet Lin Ruixian seems to not care about respect either.
Otherwise, why would he hand over the Lin Group to an older brother with no blood relation?
Gu Ningyue replied, "Yes! I went out today to find a way, to see if I could use so ans to get the Blood Jade."
Ling Tianyou gazed into Gu Ningyue’s eyes; this ti, Ning Yue didn’t dodge.
But her eyes still carried so complexities.
"Why didn’t you tell about this?" Ling Tianyou looked at her, "Since I promised to marry you, do you think I would care about this?"
He didn’t understand why Gu Ningyue acted this way, feeling sothing was off.
It seed there was sothing Gu Ningyue intentionally hid from him.
Gu Ningyue silently bowed her head, a trace of panic passing through her eyes.
How should she answer? A bad answer might ruin everything she just said.
What answer would be reasonable and not hurt Ling Tianyou?
After pondering for who knows how long, Gu Ningyue raised her head to look at him and said, "I apologize, I’m sorry. I just felt you’ve done a lot for , and I can handle this myself. Please don’t be mad at , okay?"
Gu Ningyue’s eyes were pleading, as wet as a puppy seeking forgiveness.
Ling Tianyou’s heart softened but then his gaze beca serious again, "How many tis has this happened? Did you forget what you promised?"
Gu Ningyue pressed her lips, "I haven’t forgotten, I promise this is the last ti. From now on, I’ll tell you everything, okay?"
After obtaining the Blood Jade and uncovering the people behind, solving this series of problems, it should all be over.
Gu Ningyue thought this while looking at Ling Tianyou with more determination, "Really!"
Ling Tianyou was hesitant for a long ti, seemingly finally deciding to give Gu Ningyue one more chance, "Fine, last ti, if you keep hiding, our fate ends here! I hate being treated like a fool the most, understand?"
Gu Ningyue repeatedly nodded, "No, no, I really just don’t want you to worry about anymore."
As the words fell, Ling Tianyou suddenly rose to his feet.
Gu Ningyue leaned back defensively, "You, what are you doing?"
Ling Tianyou suddenly leaned forward, enveloping her entirely under his shadow, "Gu Ningyue, I’m your fiancé. If I don’t care for you, who else do you want to?"
Gu Ningyue’s heart trembled, "No, no, you misunderstood. It’s getting late, how about calling it a day today?"
Ling Tianyou is so scary! He’s too terrifying.
Gu Ningyue’s heartbeat was pounding, never had it raced this fast before.
Ling Tianyou glanced at her bandaged arm, "Get so rest!"
He slowly straightened up, Gu Ningyue hesitated for a mont before asking, "Then can I go out afterwards?"
Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, only at the door did he leisurely say, "Depends on my mood!"
The door closed abruptly, Gu Ningyue looked at the white door a mont, and then lay back on the soft bed.
In just that short mont, sweat had already ford on her back.
Looks like she’ll have to find a way to move out.
If she stays any longer, even if she’s not ill, she’ll be scared into illness.
Sure enough, all the rumors outside are true.
Ling Tianyou, the rumored Mr. Qi, is indeed like the Living Yama.
His previous gentleness towards her could truly be considered a special favor!
Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue deeply sighed.
She wondered whether her decision to be with Ling Tianyou was right or wrong!
