Chapter 969: Chapter 966: Encounter

Ling Yu came out of the pharmacy, carrying a bag in his hand.

Inside were the medicines he had just bought for Gu Xiaoning... treatment for anemia.

Descending the steps, he vaguely saw someone sitting on the bench ahead. Gu Xiaoning?

Ling Yu frowned, what’s happening, wasn’t she in a hurry to run to the inpatient department?

Walking slowly over, he saw clearly. Gu Xiaoning was holding a thermal lunch box, scooping food into her mouth with a spoon, but... her face was already covered with tears.

"Gu Xiaoning?" Ling Yu asked puzzled, what was she doing?

Gu Xiaoning was startled, looking up to see it was Ling Yu, she pulled out a smile uglier than a cry, "It’s you."

Ling Yu frowned, sitting down beside her, "What are you eating?"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning raised her hand to wipe her tears, somewhat panicked, "Sorry, I made this with materials from the kitchen... deduct the cost from my salary."

Is that the issue? Ling Yu shook his head, "Rice porridge, vegetable paste? Do you like eating these?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning choked up, not knowing how to answer.

Ling Yu remained silent, thinking for a while. Jiujiu’s dad, rice porridge, hospital, Gu Xiaoning...

He looked at Gu Xiaoning, about to speak yet hesitant, could it be that Gu Xiaoning came to the hospital to visit a child?

"So, Jiujiu... who is it?"

Gu Xiaoning trembled all over, she didn’t speak, but the tears flowed even more fiercely.

Ling Yu was startled, flustered, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to... don’t cry, I won’t ask anymore."

"..." Gu Xiaoning covered her eyes.

She hated her current self, always shedding tears. However, she couldn’t control it... what could she do to end this situation?

She had once thought the hardest time was making the decision two years ago.

But now she realized, the hardest was finding everything changed after two years.

...

’Knock, knock’, there were two knocks on the door.

Ling Yu’s voice came, "Does it fit?"

"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning responded loudly, "I haven’t finished dressing, it should fit."

"Alright, take your time."

"Okay."

Gu Xiaoning agreed, continuing to dress.

This was sent by Ling Yu, a dress styled like a gown.

Ling Yu said he needed a companion.

He had just taken over the Ling Family, and there was a team-building event these days. What they called team-building was actually a way to network. Ling Yu couldn’t always fight alone; he needed to find people in the Ling Family who were useful to him.

Since it was an event, he needed a companion.

However, Ling Yu had no one he could trust. So, he invited Gu Xiaoning.

Gu Xiaoning thought Ling Yu trusted her mainly because she wasn’t part of the Ling Family and knew nothing.

Once the dress was on, Gu Xiaoning stepped out.

Outside, Ling Yu immediately stood up.

He pointed to the table, "Take these with you."

"Hmm? What?" Gu Xiaoning looked over, and it turned out to be several boxes of medicine.

"This is..."

She understood, this was medicine to treat anemia.

She knew these medicines were expensive. Gu Xiaoning was surprised, raising her head toward Ling Yu, "This is too expensive, I..."

"Take it." Ling Yu shook his head with a smile, "The doctor prescribed it, so you need to follow orders and take it well. Anemia is a big problem for women, and you’re still so young, do you want to ruin your health?"

"Then..." Gu Xiaoning quickly said, "Deduct the medicine cost from my salary."

"Tch." Ling Yu smiled, "Do you know exactly how much this medicine costs?"

Gu Xiaoning was a bit dazed, "I don’t know."

Ling Yu couldn’t help but laugh, raising his hand to ruffle her hair, "Go ahead and eat it, I’m always bothering you... consider it a thank-you gift, besides, for me, it’s not expensive."

Gu Xiaoning held the medicine, her eyes slightly wet, "Thank you."

After being lonely for a long time, even a bit of sympathy can be touching.

...

Lu Jinxuan signed the papers and handed the folder to Le Zhengsheng.

Seeing his gloomy face, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Still not successful?"

Le Zhengsheng frowned and slapped his lips, "Can you speak more elegantly?"

"Tch." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "How can you speak about this elegantly?"

Le Zhengsheng scratched his head, "No!"

Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, leaning back, "Let me guess, did you scold her again?"

Le Zhengsheng was stunned, remaining silent.

"Tsk tsk." Lu Jinxuan shook his head, "Ah Sheng, let me give you some advice. If you want to reconcile, first your attitude can’t be wavering! If you keep thinking she betrayed you, then I advise you to give up!"

Le Zhengsheng was slightly surprised, not expecting the president to be a philosopher.

"But, what about my father?" Le Zhengsheng smoothed his eyebrows, "Even if I can forgive, how can my dad forgive?"

"Simple." Lu Jinxuan smiled lightly, "Doesn’t your uncle want a grandson? It’s up to you."

Le Zhengsheng suddenly widened his eyes, the president... truly refreshed his understanding! He didn’t expect him to be this kind of person.

"Alright." Lu Jinxuan spread his hands, "Let’s drop the subject, aren’t you set to depart soon? As for the Ling Family, you still need to follow up."

"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Hopefully this time I can have further contact with Ling Yu."

Le Zhengsheng tidied up, left Guan Chao.

"Ah Sheng." At the doorway, Cui Ruoya waved from the car, "Hop on."

Le Zhengsheng nodded slightly, getting on the car. "Waited long?"

"No." Cui Ruoya grinned widely, "I was free anyway."

Le Zhengsheng hesitated, "You’re really a great help with the Ling Family matters, this time and last time."

Cui Ruoya started the car, "Forget the thanks... I’d prefer a more practical way of expressing it."

Practical way? Le Zhengsheng pondered over what would be a good gift.

...

Guanlan Garden.

Cui Ruoya and Le Zhengsheng got the room card and were opening the door.

Le Zhengsheng frowned, "How come it’s one room? I think, I’d better get another room."

"Hey." Cui Ruoya grabbed him, "Why do you care so much? I told you it’s a suite, not just one room, what are you nervous about?"

Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "Though it’s a suite, if word gets out, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation. You’re still a single woman and..."

"Ah Sheng." Cui Ruoya disagreed, "Don’t forget, you’re here as my boyfriend... if you open another room, how would Ling Yu think? Would he trust you?"

Le Zhengsheng still felt uneasy, he wanted to get close to Ling Yu, but...

Looking up, he saw Ling Yu and Gu Xiaoning walking together.

Them?

Le Zhengsheng’s expression tightened, why were they together? Gu Xiaoning said there was nothing between them, was she lying to him?

Ling Yu and Gu Xiaoning also spotted them, Ling Yu smiled, holding Gu Xiaoning’s hand, "Let’s go."

They stopped opposite Le Zhengsheng. Ling Yu smiled faintly, "Mr. Le Zheng, we meet again."

Le Zhengsheng squinted, his fondness for Ling Yu plummeted. Damn it, why was his hand always holding Gu Xiaoning?
