CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 232: SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT

Gu Nian’s glance didn’t escape Bai Yanluo’s eyes.

With a mischievous smile, he reached out and poked Nan Jin Yu’s shoulder from behind, but looked at Gu Nian and asked, "Girl, are you worried that your Nan can’t get upstairs?"

This time, before Gu Nian could speak, Nan Jin Yu shot a sideways glance over.

Gu Nian watched this scene without showing any expression, but she was quite amazed inside.

She could confirm that the reason Nan Jin Yu glared at Bai Yanluo wasn’t because he was angry about the mention of his leg, but rather it seemed like there was some other concern.

Bai Yanluo, unaware of Gu Nian’s sensitivity, quickly pleaded with Nan Jin Yu, "Mr. Nan, it was my mistake, can I admit it and make up for it?"

Nan Jin Yu had said not to mention his leg in front of this girl, how could he have forgotten and slipped up!

Luckily, Nan Jin Yu wasn’t too angry, otherwise, he might be kicked out and left homeless again.

Ever since the old man passed away, he had vowed to stick close to Nan Jin Yu, never to work hard, but let him take care of himself.

If he left Nan Jin Yu, he’d have to work hard in the future, or else he’d catch the northwest wind and starve.

Watching the exchange of glances between the two, Gu Nian suddenly asked tentatively, "Nan, what’s really the matter with your leg? Do you have no feeling at all?"

She had secretly inquired of Wuming, who said Nan Jin Yu’s leg was like that due to poisoning, and as long as the antidote was found, it would heal.

Gu Nian had used so much spiritual spring water on him, yet his leg hadn’t healed, making her suspect that the spiritual spring water could only heal external wounds and not detoxify.

However, based on Nan Jin Yu’s last reminder not to expose her secrets to others, he definitely knew she’d been adding something to his meals.

If it had no effect at all, how did he sense it?

Seeing Gu Nian’s thoughtful expression and increasingly perplexed look, Nan Jin Yu finally sighed helplessly and got up from the wheelchair.

Originally, he hadn’t planned to let Gu Nian know he had already recovered, after all, no wall is airtight, and once news of his legs’ recovery reached the Prince Mansion, it might lead to another round of conflict.

But now, with a loose-tongued and thoughtless Bai Yanluo, if he continued to hide it, who knows what the girl might imagine?

Watching Nan Jin Yu get up from the wheelchair without anyone’s support nearby, Gu Nian’s contemplative gaze suddenly froze, her eyes widening, staring in disbelief at the scene.

"You... you..." Gu Nian looked at Nan Jin Yu, feeling a moment of displeasure, because she felt deceived.

Just as Gu Nian was about to question why he deceived her, Nan Jin Yu suddenly staggered and fell back into the wheelchair.

"Alas!" Nan Jin Yu’s face showed great distress, "Recently, my leg has slowly been getting better, but I just can’t stand for too long."

"Since you’re getting better, why didn’t you tell me?" Gu Nian thought, it must be the spiritual spring water taking effect, just that the toxins haven’t been fully removed, so he can’t stand for long.

However, she regretted asking that question as soon as it was out.

Between her and Nan Jin Yu, it’s at most a mutually beneficial relationship, right? Since Nan Jin Yu was poisoned, maybe there’s someone out there trying to harm him, what right does she have to demand others to reveal their secrets to her?
