Chapter 714: Chapter 714: You Are Not Allowed to Go Anywhere
At dinner, Qin Youxuan waited for Ning Yanan, but Dan Hanjie was nowhere to be found.
“Where did he go?”
He was here in the afternoon, how could he just disappear?
“Mr. Jie has so matters to attend to tonight. He said the Mada shouldn’t wait for him for dinner.” The butler spoke respectfully.
“Then let’s start eating. Yaya and I will eat together.” Qin Youxuan led the sullen Ning Yanan into the dining room, constantly putting food on her plate, “Yaya, eat more. Look at you, your complexion is worse than mine, a sick person. If people don’t know better, they think the sick one is you.”
“Sick?” Ning Yanan’s hand clutching her chopsticks paused. She lifted her face to look at Qin Youxuan, “What’s wrong with your health?”
“…”
Qin Youxuan was startled, then realized she had let sothing slip. Ning Yanan didn’t know about her illness, nor that she was on dication.
“It’s nothing. I just had a cold a while ago. I’m better now.” Qin Youxuan hastily glossed over it. After speaking, she quickly lowered her head to drink her soup, afraid of being found out by Ning Yanan.
“That’s good then.” Perhaps Ning Yanan was too exhausted recently, but she didn’t suspect anything. She listlessly stirred the soup in her bowl, but didn’t take a single sip.
Her whole deanor was like that of a wandering spirit.
“Yaya, what’s wrong?”
After a while, Qin Youxuan noticed that Ning Yanan hadn’t moved at all, neither drinking her soup nor eating her food, and nudged her with her elbow.
“…Nothing. I’m not very hungry. You go ahead and eat. I’ll go back to my room.” Ning Yanan t Qin Youxuan’s wondering gaze, put down her utensils, stood up, and turned to leave.
“Do you want to go back ho for a bit?” Qin Youxuan caught up to her and stood in her path. “I heard from Dan Hanjie that Jiang Jinchen seems to be in trouble.”
“…”
Ning Yanan’s body stiffened as she looked up anxiously.
Then, she looked away, “That’s none of my concern.”
“If you could really let go, you wouldn’t be doing this to yourself, Yaya, why won’t you fight for yourself just once? Just once.” Qin Youxuan didn’t dare tell her that Jiang Jinchen had been injected with a sedative, afraid that Ning Yanan would worry upon hearing it.
But seeing her keep suppressing herself without any action, she felt frustrated.
“I admit, I cannot pretend to be fine right now. But it will be over soon, Xuan, after his engagent, everything will be fine. If he is well, so am I.” Ning Yanan glanced up, her face was pale, but her voice was steady.
As if she was waiting for the final speech.
The process is suffering, but soon she could get relief.
If you don’t want to worry about seeing like this, I’ll move out tomorrow…”
“No! Other than here, you are not allowed to go anywhere else! I just won’t interfere anymore.” Qin Youxuan interrupted her, tightly grasping Ning Yanan’s hand.
“I know you can’t let go, and seeing you like this makes you feel anxious, that’s why I keep persuading you. But if you’re not in my sight, I’ll be even more anxious.”
“I’m really okay, I just want to indulge myself for a while, then I’ll be fine.” Ning Yanan lifted her head, speaking earnestly.
She reached out and gently caressed Qin Youxuan’s cheek. Her smile was sowhat pale, but very genuine.
“Xuan, it’s wonderful to have you as a friend.”
“I feel the sa.”
Qin Youxuan hugged her tightly.
“Alright, go and eat.” Ning Yanan hugged her for a bit, then pushed her away.
Only after watching Qin Youxuan enter the dining room did she turn around and return to her room.
