Chapter 2260 - 15: Want to Be Your Little Brother-in-Law

At the emergency room entrance of the hospital:

Gu Xiran clenched her small fists to relieve her tension.

Coming to the hospital...

She felt panicked.

As a child, she suffered from Type 1 diabetes, and her mom often brought her to the hospital for injections and IV drips.

It was said that when she was around one year old, she was almost a regular at the hospital.

Later, things got a bit better, and her health improved, but she still came regularly for check-ups and treatments.

Gu Xiran closed her beautiful eyes, worry, tension, fear, and various emotions intertwined, causing mixed feelings.

Hopefully, Qin Song is safe and sound.

It should have been a common cold with a fever, but she vaguely felt it wasn’t that simple.

Gu Xiran hugged her arms, trying hard to calm herself, but she was still shivering with nervousness and fear.

All of these were psychological shadows left from her childhood, very hard to overcome, and these years, she has been trying relentlessly yet fruitlessly.

...

Half an hour later.

The medical staff hadn’t come out, but Qin Jin did.

The man’s face didn’t look good, as if he hadn’t slept all night, and despite the unpleasant encounter with him last night, Gu Xiran approached and asked: "How is Qin Song?"

"Why does his face look so bad?"

"I feel it’s more than just a common fever, should Uncle Huo arrange a medical team for a thorough check?"

"Yes, I can also ask Dad to arrange more professional people to check on him."

Gu Xiran spoke incoherently out of nervousness, preparing to take out her phone to call Gu Mochen, but Qin Jin quickly reached out his big hand and grabbed her wrist.

The warmth from his palm calmed Gu Xiran’s anxious emotions, and she instinctively met Qin Jin’s deep dark eyes, then heard his low voice near her ear.

"No need, it’s just a high fever, but with some viral infection. He just returned from abroad, and the flu is quite severe there, he unfortunately caught it."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Hearing this from Qin Jin, Gu Xiran hesitated and bit her lip.

"Really?"

"Hmm, I wouldn’t lie to you."

Gu Xiran: "..."

I wouldn’t lie to you.

Is that true...

A strange emotion crossed Gu Xiran’s heart, and she faintly remembered yesterday’s scene vividly, holding a slight sarcastic smile on her lips, she slowly pulled her small hand away from the man’s palm.

"Hmm."

Qin Jin’s deep dark eyes were filled with certainty and indisputability, making Gu Xiran feel somewhat reassured.

Yet for some reason... a sense of unease still lingered in her heart.

Most likely, as soon as she arrived at the hospital, her nerves tensed, causing various discomforts.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Gu Xiran’s lips as she slowly sat down on a chair.

Qin Jin stood nearby, watching the uneasiness in her beautiful eyes and her trembling body, clenching his big hand, suppressing the emotions surging within him, controlling himself.

Concern, care, wanting to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

He probably found out about Gu Xiran’s diabetes when he was around 11, and it was quite severe. Back then, whenever the little girl came to the hospital, she looked pale, speaking incoherently, and trembling.

Later, he learned about her situation from Aunt Jian Ran, and only then did he understand the reason why the little girl was like that.

In the days that followed, he always avoided any possibility of Gu Xiran coming to the hospital.

Whenever she came, he would always coax her...

...

The past was like smoke, and the two of them remained quietly silent, for the first time in their lives.

Gu Xiran’s gaze constantly worriedly directed at the direction of the emergency room, the most important thing being Qin Song right now.

But, for a common high fever, the flu... did it really need to be so troublesome for so long?

Gu Xiran was engulfed in her worries, not noticing Qin Jin’s similarly alarming pale face beside her, which clearly showed discomfort.

...

At 10 AM, Gu Xiran hadn’t seen Qin Song come out from the emergency room but received a call from Sister Ping instead.

"Tang Bao, something has happened."

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes froze upon hearing Sister Ping’s anxious voice from the other end of the line.

"The media caught images of you leaving Qin Song’s apartment in pajamas... and published them, it’s a low-tier small magazine, they really must have guts."

News about Gu Xiran had always been strictly filtered and screened, refusing any manipulative operations and control.
