Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Wencheng started to call ng Nianyao, but she hung up. He continued to call her, but she wouldn’t answer.
Gu Wencheng’s brows gradually furrowed. He continued to make the phone call as his eyes swept across the ward.
The Yin family left after staying in the ward for less than an hour. So, other than Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Uncle Nan, and Aunt Yang, Lin Ping was the only person in the ward who was hostile to ng Nianyao. He asked directly, “Did you give Nianyao a hard ti again?”
Lin Ping didn’t expect Gu Wencheng to question her mother on behalf of a woman. She was furious. I’m your mother!”
“I need you to answer my question.”
Lin Ping’s chest heaved. “1 don’t like ng Nianyao, and she knows that 1 don’t like her. There’s no need for her to leave so early or so late, and yet she disappeared suddenly.” What she ant was that ng Nianyao’s departure had nothing to do with her.
Just then, Gu Wencheng’s phone rang. It was a ssage from ng Nianyao. “I’m waiting for you at Jinxiu Garden. Let’s talk.”
Gu Wencheng turned around and left imdiately.
The people in the ward looked at each other.
Splendid Garden.
When Gu Wencheng returned ho, he found that the lights in the house were all turned off. The chandelier in the dining room was the only thing on as it emitted a warm yellow light.
ng Nianyao was sitting at the dining table. When she heard the door open, she got up and walked towards Gu Wencheng. “You’re back.” She reached out to take Gu Wencheng’s coat. He took her hand and looked at her expression. “Are you okay?”
ng Nianyao shook her head.” I’m fine. Did you just co back from the hospital?” She slled the disinfectant on his body and suddenly said with a guilty expression, “Do Grandpa and Grandma know that I’m not there anymore? I’m sorry, I’ll call them to tell them that I’m safe. Go wash up first and then eat.”
ng Nianyao looked normal. There was a delicious dinner on the dining table that seed to have been made by her. From the balcony ca the sound of her talking to Grandma Gu on the phone, as if she was explaining why she hadn’t seen her for the whole day. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong, but Gu Wencheng felt that sothing was wrong. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and went to the bathroom to shower and change his clothes. When he ca out again, ng Nianyao was already waiting at the dining table. When she saw him co out, she even smiled gently.
“Nianyao, you…” After Gu Wencheng sat down, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. She looked so normal that he didn’t know how to ask her.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk later.” ng Nianyao’s words made him swallow the ones he was about to talk about.
The al was silent.
ng Nianyao didn’t have much of an appetite, but she still managed to take a few dishes with her chopsticks. She thought about it for a long ti, knowing that she wanted to talk to Gu Wencheng openly.
After dinner, Gu Wencheng automatically cleared the table without ng Nianyao’s permission. While he was washing the dishes, ng Nianyao took out the tea set on the cabinet and boiled so water. The faint fragrance of tea spread through the air.
After Gu Wencheng finished washing the dishes, he saw the steam from the hot tea framing ng Nianyao’s face, making her look gentler and more beautiful.
“Try it. This is my first ti making tea. I wonder if it tastes good.” ng Nianyao pursed her lips and smiled shyly.
“It tastes good.” Gu Wencheng tried so and gave a fair evaluation.
“Yes.” ng Nianyao also took a sip. After confirming that Gu Wencheng wasn’t just giving her a perfunctory reply, she smiled. “Did I make you worry today?” I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m just a little shocked about finding out that I look very similar to your first love…”
Being honest was easier than she thought. She had been deceived by ng Haotian and was also pestered by him, so no matter what, whether she was a substitute or not, it couldn’t change the fact that Gu Wencheng had given her a place to breathe when she was most sad and desperate. She was grateful to him, and she didn’t want to go to the point where she hated him.
“What?” Gu Wencheng was shocked.
“Her na was Ning Xi, right? I heard that the two of you had already reached the point of talking about marriage…” ng Nianyao picked up the teacup and took another sip to soothe her dry throat. Even though they could talk, the bitterness in her heart couldn’t disappear. At least at this mont, she was a little envious of Ning Xi to be able to openly discuss marriage with him and get the approval of his parents and friends. Even Yin Qiqi had an expression of admiration and regret when she ntioned Ning Xi.
Ning Xi…She must have been a very, very outstanding girl..
