Nian Nian, as a person, is actually quite simple; she will go out of her way to treat those well who treat her kindly.
But in this case, she suddenly realized, she had no ans to repay Gu Lingqian for his kindness.
Feelings can never be forced.
"I just hope you won’t force yourself, if... I go and talk to Uncle..."
"If anyone is to persuade him, it should be . Maybe Uncle will listen to ."
Seeing her bite her lip, slightly uneasy, Gu Lingqian smiled and said: "Don’t panic, I just want to discuss with Uncle temporarily, let’s not tell Grandma yet."
"After all, Grandma only has..."
He couldn’t say it out loud; however, he wished for Grandma to depart peacefully, at least that this period would not be too chaotic.
Either they temporarily keep their relationship hidden, or as he just thought, be together with Xia Chuxue.
"I’ll talk to Uncle." It was she who caused this issue, so it was up to her to resolve it.
Although Uncle does have a bad temper, if spoken to reasonably, he will surely listen, right?
"Alright, let’s head back now," Gu Lingqian finally couldn’t hold back, and lovingly rubbed her head.
But the mont he let go, suddenly, a glint of silver light from afar made his heart tighten.
"Nian Nian, be careful!"
"Miss—" From afar, Gu Beicheng leapt from the yet-to-depart helicopter.
In an instant, everyone beca alert, quickly getting shielded among the crowd, with gunshots ringing outside...
Xia Yinian, however, could see nothing, nor could she seem to hear anything.
In her field of vision, all she could see was Gu Lingqian, who fell before her, and the slowly spreading bloodstain on his chest.
After a very long ti, she finally ca to her senses, calling out hoarsely, "Ling Qian—"
...
Gu Lingqian was shot and was airlifted directly back to Ye City.
Now, he was still in the ergency room.
Outside the ergency room, aside from Old Madam Gu who was being kept in the dark, everyone who should be there was present.
So many people were gathered, a dark mass, yet utterly silent; the entire corridor of the operating rooms was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Old Master was present, making a few usually talkative ladies dare not make a sound.
As for the others, each wore a serious expression, saying nothing.
Xia Yinian was also among the crowd, continuously thinking about how Gu Lingqian had thrown himself in front of her to take a bullet.
What incessantly haunted her mind was the bloom of blood on Gu Lingqian’s chest, and the words spoken by Gu Feimo that night:
She belongs to Uncle, why should you care whether she lives or dies unless, you’ve truly fallen for her!
For a woman, do you want to see our Gu family ruined...
... Leaning against a wall, she seed to have no strength left in her legs, yet she stubbornly remained standing.
The light in the operating room remained on; before he was pushed in, the doctor ntioned the bullet had grazed his heart, and the situation was extrely critical.
If it weren’t this grave, they wouldn’t have notified all mbers of the Gu family all at once.
Even Gu Lingqian’s sister, who was overseas, was now rushing back overnight.
Why notify everyone except for the Grandma who couldn’t handle the shock?
Is it because everyone is afraid, afraid that he won’t make it, afraid that they can’t see him off on his final journey?
No, no no no, it can’t be possible, nor can it be allowed!
Only a few hours ago, he was still alive and smiling in front of her, how could it possibly be the last sight of him now?
