CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: DATE

The next morning, when Gu Ningyue woke up, Ling Tianyou had already brought Ji Qianqian to her hospital room.

However, Ji Qianqian’s eyes were red, indicating she had just been crying.

"Did you bully her?" Gu Ningyue looked at the listless Ji Qianqian in surprise, "Why is this child suddenly so downhearted?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "Maybe she’s homesick! I’ll contact Lu Qingqing later and send her back."

After breakfast, Ling Tianyou made a phone call to Lu Qingqing.

Whatever was said made Ling Tianyou’s face turn increasingly grim.

After hanging up, he turned to Gu Ningyue and said, "Lu Qingqing was in an accident yesterday morning. A car accident."

No wonder Ling Tianyou heard Ji Qianqian crying and shouting in the ward early that morning. Could this be the so-called telepathy?

"Was it serious?" Gu Ningyue patted Ji Qianqian’s head, feeling sorry for the child: "In that case, will Ji Qianqian be staying with us for a while?"

Ji Qianqian nestled into Gu Ningyue’s arms, her eyes reddened again: "Sister, Qianqian wants to go home."

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Ji Qianqian will stay with us during this time, probably for about half a month! But there’s good news too; Lu Qingqing said as long as Ji Qianqian is safe, she’ll give you that bracelet with both hands."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t shake off the feeling that this accident was somewhat bizarre, "Was it really just an accident?"

"Based on Lu Qingqing’s gritted-teeth tone, probably not an accident." Ling Tianyou sat by the bedside, "But Lu Qingqing isn’t one to be trifled with; she’ll handle it. We don’t need to bother."

Gu Ningyue pondered for a moment, "Are they after Ji Qianqian or Lu Qingqing? I can’t quite figure it out."

As Ji Qianqian’s current ’guardian’, once Ji Qianqian reaches the age to claim the insurance, whether she can use it or not, the money will go into Lu Qingqing’s hands.

If it’s about that money, kidnapping Ji Qianqian is the most foolish and unrewarding method.

Shouldn’t they have gone after Lu Qingqing first? What’s going on here?

"Either way, it has nothing to do with us," Ling Tianyou said: "We just need to take good care of Ji Qianqian during this time, get back that bracelet left by your mom, and these two people might never cross paths again in this lifetime."

Gu Ningyue responded, "That’s true!"

They were two unrelated people to begin with, and may not have any intersecting paths in the future either.

In the afternoon, Chi Xingtong suddenly came to the hospital.

Upon seeing Ji Qianqian in the ward, she couldn’t resist pinching her cheek: "Your little sister?"

Ji Qianqian shrank back: "It hurts."

Chi Xingtong was a bit puzzled,

"Stop teasing her." Gu Ningyue pointed to her head: "Why did you suddenly show up at this time?"

Taking advantage of Ling Tianyou’s absence, Chi Xingtong sneaked up and pulled Gu Ningyue aside, "I’ve arranged a meeting with Su Heng tonight. Remember to answer my voice call!"

Gu Ningyue responded, "So soon?"

Chi Xingtong said: "I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I think it’d be better to meet sooner rather than later."

"Sooner rather than later?" Gu Ningyue chuckled: "Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"You don’t understand, the more I chat the more guilty I feel." Chi Xingtong whispered, "I always feel like a thief, stealing something that isn’t mine. Do you think after meeting, if Su Heng finds out I’m not who he’s looking for, he won’t speak to me anymore?"

Gu Ningyue looked at her and said, "He’s a big star; even if he ignores you, it’s understandable, right? Just think of it as a dream with nothing to lose."

Stars and regular people have no intersections unless they marry and have children.

It seems Chi Xingtong plans to continue chatting with Su Heng for a long time?

Chi Xingtong looked dejected: "But I don’t want that! Su Heng is really gentle! Let me play you his voice message, it’s just so nice to listen to!"

Speaking of which, Chi Xingtong pulled out a voice message, and Gu Ningyue listened: "It is really pleasing, but he’s a singer! A good voice is normal!"

"How can that be the same! This was sent to me personally." Chi Xingtong insisted, "I’ve copied the chat history onto my computer, just in case. So even if I get blocked, I can look back on it."

Gu Ningyue: "... You’re hopeless, I don’t understand you fangirls at all."

Chi Xingtong clutched her arm: "Anyway, make sure you answer my call tonight! I’m really panicking here."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright, don’t worry, no matter what happens tonight, I’ll be there for your call."

"Thanks, thanks!" Chi Xingtong looked at her and said, "As soon as the date is over, I’ll pay you the final payment."

Gu Ningyue curled her lips: "Deal."

"What are you two discussing?" Ling Tianyou came in carrying two bags of fruit, "Deal about what?"

Chi Xingtong quickly let go and made up an excuse: "N-nothing, just telling your wife that once she recovers, we’ll go have some fun!"

Ling Tianyou didn’t believe it, "You’re stuttering. You’ve stuttered since you were a child when you lie. Xing Tong, what were you discussing? I’m warning you, she’s still recovering and can’t go anywhere!"

"No! You misheard." Chi Xingtong laughed awkwardly: "Don’t worry, I won’t take her out. Let her rest and recover well!"

Ling Tianyou nodded satisfactorily, but just as he placed the fruit down, a young voice chimed in beside his ear: "Sis, can Qianqian go on the date too? Qianqian will be good."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Chi Xingtong: "..."

Ling Tianyou quickly turned around, "Date?"

Ji Qianqian said: "Sister is going on a date with a star, Qianqian also wants to go with sister."

"A star?" Ling Tianyou’s eyes were sharp as knives, "Gu Ningyue, you’re something else!"

"N-no, it’s not me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Xingtong intercepted, "Don’t get mad, Ning Yue just wants to go see a concert, not a date, not a date!"

Ji Qianqian said nearby: "Uncle, it’s not a concert, sister is going on a date!"

"...Little girl, you misheard!" Chi Xingtong’s mouth twitched, turning to whisper to Gu Ningyue, "My dad hates people in the entertainment circle the most. If he finds out I’m dating a star, he’ll break my legs. I’m begging you!"

Gu Ningyue glanced at Chi Xingtong, her eyes full of reproach: "Add fifty thousand!"

Chi Xingtong quickly agreed: "Plus an LV bag!"

Ling Tianyou looked at the two, "What are you both whispering about again?"

Gu Ningyue coughed and then bit her lip, "There’s, uh, this show, and there’s a star there I really like, so I wanted Xing Tong to take me to see it! I was afraid you’d be mad and didn’t dare to tell you! That star is quite handsome!"

Ling Tianyou frowned, "Is that all?"

Chi Xingtong chimed in, "Of course, Ning Yue also cares about your feelings, ha, ha..."
