CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: A BIT TROUBLESOME

Ling Tianyou had just finished eating and put down his chopsticks when the assistant’s phone rang.

A few minutes later, the assistant came over and whispered something to Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue watched as Ling Tianyou’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Ling Tianyou stand up and say to her, "There are some issues at the company that I need to deal with. You and Ji Qianqian stay here and don’t wander off! If anything happens, look for Doctor Su Linfeng!"

Gu Ningyue nodded understandingly and said repeatedly, "Don’t worry, I’ll be obedient this time."

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, seemingly still a little uneasy.

But the situation came suddenly, and he couldn’t delay any longer.

He picked up his coat, and Ling Tianyou left the ward with the assistant.

As soon as he left, Gu Ningyue let out a long sigh of relief and muttered softly, "Hope he comes back after dinner!"

After being tormented by Ling Tianyou in the afternoon, she was still feeling apprehensive.

Perhaps because she was relaxing, Gu Ningyue yawned, "Qianqian should take a nap now. How about I tell you a story?"

Ji Qianqian clapped her hands, "Yes, yes! Sister, tell Qianqian a story."

Gu Ningyue made some space on her bed and let Ji Qianqian lie on the side where her arm wasn’t injured, "What story would Qianqian like to hear?"

Ji Qianqian tilted her head and thought for a while, "Qianqian wants to hear ’The Story of the Seven Cinderellas and the Prince on the White Horse.’"

Gu Ningyue looked confused, "What???"

Ji Qianqian blinked, "A fairy tale! Qianqian wants to hear it."

Gu Ningyue suddenly felt puzzled. What kind of stories had Lu Qingqing been telling Ji Qianqian before?

Seven Cinderellas and a Prince on the White Horse, it sounded really terrifying!

Gu Ningyue scrolled through her phone, "Qianqian, how about I tell you a different story today?"

Ji Qianqian shook her head, "Qianqian wants to know if the sixth girl got the prince’s crown."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

After much persuasion, Ji Qianqian finally gave up on finding out the continuation of that crazy story and switched to listening to the ’Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ as narrated by Gu Ningyue.

Once a story was finished, Ji Qianqian had already closed her eyes, holding onto Gu Ningyue breathing steadily.

The room was filled with light, quietly without a single sound.

Gu Ningyue suddenly thought of a question. Why did Ji Qianqian call her sister the moment she saw her?

Did she and Lu Qingqing look very similar? She always thought Ji Qianqian just got the wrong person, but hearing Ji Qianqian’s words just now proved she hadn’t mistaken anything.

Who she was maybe Ji Qianqian didn’t know, but whether or not she was Lu Qingqing, Ji Qianqian knew very well.

She reached out and tucked the strands of hair that had fallen on Ji Qianqian’s forehead behind her ear, the little red teardrop mole glimmered like a tiny ruby in her eyes.

Such a beautiful face, if she were normal, even she might not be able to resist being moved.

Unfortunately, such a pity.

Thinking about it, Gu Ningyue lay down and slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, Gu Ningyue returned to her organization headquarters, her master was sitting in a cheongsam at the table playing mahjong with a few senior brothers.

The graceful figure was alluring even in silhouette, and hearing those joyful cheers, she couldn’t help but smile.

But gradually, those people slowly disappeared from her sight like a landscape painting soaked in water.

She reached out to grab them but only clutched a handful of emptiness.

She stood there, her heart pained as if it had been slammed by a heavy punch.

A scent of osmanthus permeated; Gu Ningyue suddenly opened her eyes: "Who’s there?"

The little nurse who just pushed the door open was scared back a step by Gu Ningyue’s sharp gaze, "Ah! I’m here to give Miss Gu a shot!"

Gu Ningyue looked at the tray in her hand and slowly sat up, "What is that smell on you?"

This perfume, something was strange about it.

It was very similar, very similar to the sedative used in her organization before.

The little nurse paused and said, "Perfume! I put on some perfume today."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the sleeping Ji Qianqian, cautiously got out of bed, and opened all the windows in the room, "I just woke up, feeling sore, let’s do the injection later!"

The little nurse had a touch of surprise on her face, seemingly not expecting such a scene, "Then Miss Gu, should I come back in half an hour?"

Gu Ningyue stood by the window, turned around, and said slowly, "I don’t like the scent on you."

The little nurse replied, "Okay, I’ll be more mindful next time."

The little nurse turned and left with the tray, and as soon as she was gone, Gu Ningyue picked up the phone, "Hanyin? Do you have time to come to the hospital? It’s nothing, Ling Tianyou’s not here, and I’ve got a bit of trouble."

"Alright, I’ll head over." Shen Hanyin promptly agreed, "I’ll be there in about twenty minutes."

Gu Ningyue felt warmth in her heart. Although she might never see her master and the others in her life, it was nice having Shen Hanyin and Ling Tianyou treating her well.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Hanyin arrived at Chengyue Hospital.

"Is she asleep?" Shen Hanyin looked at the sleeping Ji Qianqian and couldn’t help but reach out and touch her face, "Even more beautiful than the photos you sent me."

Recently, during her free time chatting with Gu Ningyue, Gu Ningyue had talked about Ji Qianqian, and Shen Hanyin had wanted to come see her. But she hadn’t expected Ji Qianqian to be more stunning in person than in the pictures.

Gu Ningyue asked softly, "No performance today?"

Shen Hanyin’s lips curved into an enchanting dimple, "I’ve got a few hours until the performance, so I came to check on you first. It won’t delay anything."

Saying so, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but imagine how difficult it was for Shen Hanyin to take time off: "When I’m better, I’ll bring you flowers, wait for me."

"Alright! Then you better get well soon," Shen Hanyin said to her, "I want a big bouquet, you know!"

Gu Ningyue agreed, "Don’t worry, it will be the best in the entire venue."

Shen Hanyin smiled, "By the way, you mentioned some trouble? What’s the matter?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at the door direction and whispered a few words to Shen Hanyin.

Shen Hanyin was a bit surprised, "So they didn’t give up and sent someone else here?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yeah! Most likely that’s the case!"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, "Miss Gu, may I come in?"

"Come in!" Gu Ningyue responded casually.

The little nurse walked back in holding the tray, and seeing someone else in the room, she couldn’t help but look troubled, "Miss Gu’s friend?"

"Yes!" Gu Ningyue pretended nonchalantly, "Beautiful, right?"

"Yes, very beautiful and elegant," the little nurse said while dealing with the medicine, "just as charming as Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue and Shen Hanyin exchanged a glance; her mouth was quite sweet.

Once she was done, Gu Ningyue watched her needle, her expression changed suddenly, and before the needle even touched her, she jerked her hand away, "Wait!"
