Chapter 981: Chapter 978:

"Hmm." Ling Yu curved his lips, nodded, "Yes, that’s what I mean... Do you think I’m suitable?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, unable to react for a long time.

She tugged at her lips, "Young Master Ling, are you joking..."

Ling Yu’s face darkened, solemnly said, "I’m not joking, I’m serious. I think I’m attracted to you, I... like you."

This confession came completely out of the blue!

Gu Xiaoning was astonished; she never thought anyone would say such a thing to her in this life.

Her mouth opened and closed, "..." she couldn’t say anything.

Ling Yu smiled, "You don’t have to rush to answer me. Even if you reject me now, I won’t give up... It’s not easy to find someone you like in a lifetime, anyway, you’re single, so I do have a chance, don’t I?"

Theoretically yes, but... Gu Xiaoning couldn’t understand, as a divorced woman with a child, what did Ling Yu see in her?

...

Due to Ling Yu’s sudden confession, Gu Xiaoning was unable to sleep.

Tossing and turning, she received a message from Le Zhengsheng.

Tomorrow at Aunt’s house, I’ll take Jiujiu.

Jiujiu... Gu Xiaoning missed her daughter, immediately replied: Okay.

On the other end, Le Zhengsheng held his phone, curved his lips and smiled.

See, who said he was out of ideas? Wasn’t she responding immediately? Even though he was leveraging his daughter’s presence, but after all, the daughter was his too! He and Gu Xiaoning have a daughter, they can’t sever their ties.

"Director."

Liao Jingqing brought up the coffee, they were still working overtime at Guan Chao.

Taking over the responsibilities from Fu Xianlin, Le Zhengsheng carried heavy duties.

"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng frowned, took a sip of coffee. The bitter taste immediately made him much more alert.

"Director, there’s still no breakthrough." Liao Jingqing sat opposite him, "Don’t be fooled by Old Master Ling lying down, the kingdom he established is like an impregnable fortress."

Le Zhengsheng was silent, nodded.

"Director." Liao Jingqing thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I have an idea..."

"Hmm?" Le Zhengsheng raised an eyebrow, "What idea? Tell me..."

Liao Jingqing hesitated a bit, clearly not daring to speak.

Le Zhengsheng was most impatient with this, shouted, "Speak quickly!"

"It’s..." Liao Jingqing said, "The path through Dr. Cui has been clearly blocked by Ling Yu but there is another person, who I think is more capable of approaching Ling Yu than Dr. Cui."

Le Zhengsheng was taken aback, immediately knew.

Couldn’t help but frown and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Director!" Liao Jingqing knew he had offended, immediately stood up, "I overstepped, but think about it, Ling Yu obviously has feelings for Gu Xiaoning! Ling Yu used to be a fighter pilot... This is his weakness, if it can be utilized..." ℴℴ𝘮

"Stop talking!"

Le Zhengsheng hastily interrupted him, "Do you think I need to use a woman?"

Liao Jingqing was stunned, why wouldn’t it work? Dr. Cui could be used, why not Gu Xiaoning?

Realizing Gu Xiaoning was different for Le Zhengsheng, Liao Jingqing added, "Director, we can monitor Ling Yu the whole time, Miss Gu won’t be harmed."

"No!" Le Zhengsheng stood up suddenly, "Dismiss that thought immediately! Listen, don’t touch her! Don’t touch her!"

"..." Liao Jingqing was startled, bowed, "Yes, I understand."

...

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoning prepared breakfast, hurriedly left the house.

She had agreed with A Sheng today to take care of Jiujiu.

At the door, she ran into Cui Ruoya.

"Dr. Cui." Gu Xiaoning politely nodded, changed her shoes hurriedly.

Cui Ruoya smiled, "Heading out in such a hurry?"

"Yes."

"Hey." Cui Ruoya pulled her and took out a box from her shopping bag, handed it to her, "Here... This is a benefit from our hospital, I think you might find it useful."

"Oh." In a hurry, Gu Xiaoning accepted it, took a quick glance.

... All in English?

She didn’t do well in studies, back then she passed the English self-study exam, and if not for Le Zhengsheng’s temporary help she certainly wouldn’t have passed.

So, what did Cui Ruoya give her? Gu Xiaoning didn’t know.

But she was in a hurry, didn’t have time to ask more, "Well, thank you Dr. Cui, I have to go now."

Cui Ruoya chuckled, "Alright, goodbye."

Gu Xiaoning nodded, hurried out.

Cui Ruoya watched her back, a faint indent of a smile on her lips... Going to meet A Sheng? That’s nice! They have a daughter, so they can always find excuses to meet!

...

Gu Xiaoning left the house, took a taxi and rushed to Auntie’s place.

Auntie had already gone to work, Le Zhengsheng was accompanying Jiujiu to play, occasionally glancing at the entrance.

"I..." Gu Xiaoning panted, "I’m here, you... you go ahead and busy yourself!"

Seeing her sweating profusely after running, Le Zhengsheng frowned, raised his hand to her face.

"Why so hurried? Do you think I wouldn’t wait for you?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning’s body stiffened, why was A Sheng treating her like this? He was already discussing marriage with Cui Ruoya...

Could it be, because she once ’betrayed’ him, in his eyes, she didn’t even deserve the very basics?

Thinking this, Gu Xiaoning turned her face away, "No need, no need to wipe."

Le Zhengsheng simply held her face, with a firm attitude but a gentle voice, "Don’t move!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning could only stand there dazed.

Nervously gulping, "Are you, you not leaving?"

Le Zhengsheng’s fingers traced her face, reluctant to move away, "I’m not leaving, where do you want me to go?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning looked up at him in shock, what did that mean?

Le Zhengsheng chuckled, bent down to pick up Jiujiu, "I’ve booked the room and tickets, we’ll go together with Jiujiu to have fun."

"Where are... we going?"

"Disney."

Ah... Gu Xiaoning’s mouth opened and closed, increasingly unable to see through Le Zhengsheng.

Le Zhengsheng walked ahead, Gu Xiaoning followed behind, her phone suddenly rang, it was actually a call from Cui Ruoya.

"Hello?" She slowed her steps, answered the phone.

"Miss Gu." Cui Ruoya smiled, "I know you’re with A Sheng, I couldn’t get through to A Sheng, so I had to call you, hope you don’t find me abrupt, just wanted to remind you... Jiujiu has a weak stomach and digestion, when you’re out, don’t let her eat anything cold. And it’s best to order from the hotel, avoid letting Jiujiu eat from street vendors."

Cui Ruoya incessantly advised, as if she were Jiujiu’s biological mother!

Frowning, Gu Xiaoning listened carefully.

She’s a new mother, truly a good mother who cares for Jiujiu.

"Alright, I’ve noted everything down."

Cui Ruoya finally chuckled, "Miss Gu, A Sheng and I are getting married soon. As for Jiujiu, the days when her dad and mom take her out to play... Oh, I won’t say such sad things, anyway, you all have fun! Jiujiu will definitely be very happy."
