The night wind was very cold. At the end of winter, the imperial capital was in the north, and the breath we exhaled was still white.

Ning Yichu stood in the corridor of the inpatient department. The cold white light was bright and ruthless. She sat down against the wall. The cold chair was like her heart.

After sitting in silence for a while, the man finally came out of the ward.

Gu Lingyang saw her thin body wrapped in a thin coat and she looked up. Her innocent face looked as white as milk under the light.

A pair of cold and pure almond-shaped eyes were looking at him at this moment, containing a hint of complicated emotions.

"There was a traffic jam on the road, so I was late."

The one-hour drive reserved was not enough, so Gu Lingyang even used a helicopter.

A trace of regret flashed across Gu Lingyang's handsome face. "...Did Ningning's surgery go well? What did the doctor say?"

"It went smoothly. Everything is normal."

Ning Yichu tightened and loosened her fingers. She swallowed all the pain, sadness, and resentment in her heart, raised her eyes, and said calmly, "Have you found Xun Manyin?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask this. A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Lingyang's eyes. "I haven't found it yet, but there should be results soon."

"Then go find it first."

Ning Yichu spoke in the same calm tone, "After all, she and her son are two lives. You have received the favor of the Xun family, so it would be unreasonable not to help. Since you are already looking for them, why not be a good person and wait until they are completely safe before doing anything else."

"Ning Yichu!"

Gu Lingyang suddenly frowned, staring at Ning Yichu with cold eyes, suppressing his anger, "Why do you have to talk to me like this?"

"What's wrong with talking like that? Does it hurt your fragile heart?"

Meeting his gaze, Ning Yichu retorted, "You've already done it. I'm speaking in accordance with your choice. Why are you angry again?"

"You're angry! You say these things just to deliberately sting me."

This is not a question, but an affirmation.

Gu Lingyang took a deep breath, went over and grabbed Ning Yichu's wrist, "Xun Manyin really got into trouble. We still don't know whether she and Jiajia are alive or dead. I had to go there..."

"Did I say you shouldn't?"

Ning Yichu sneered, "Yes, of course you have to go. After all, the Xun family needs you to search."

"Ning Yichu!"

This was the second time today that the man had called her name so angrily. Ning Yichu curled her lips coldly and pulled her wrist away.

Gu Lingyang pressed his throbbing temples, "The Xun family has lost its leader, and I'm most familiar with the imperial capital. Of course I have to step forward and find people to help find Xun Manyin."

"Then go ahead and look for it. I'll do whatever you want." Ning Yichu said indifferently.

However, it is this attitude that makes it even more difficult for men to tolerate.

"There's nothing between Xun Manyin and me, and our engagement will be cancelled soon... I had no choice but to make this decision today because of the difficult situation."

He was in trouble, and didn't Ning Yichu know that Gu Lingyang was in trouble too?

"You think I don't care about you, do you?"

Ning Yichu sneered, "Because I knew you were in trouble, I didn't lose my temper about the amusement park incident, nor did I confront Xun Manyin."

She would avoid it if she could, but Ning Yichu was not a soft persimmon. When Xun Manyin provoked her, she just retorted.

"Even if you go home after this, my three children and I won't use this incident as an excuse to argue with you or make you unhappy, right?"

Gu Lingyang's breathing stagnated. This was indeed the truth.

He was too busy with work and sometimes neglected their emotions.

Ning Yichu stared at him intently and spoke word by word, "Ningning had a major surgery today. If the surgery fails, Ningning will suffer a serious bacterial infection, causing multiple organ damage and failure, or even a direct rejection reaction. Then, you, Gu Lingyang, may not even be able to see Ningning for the last time today!"

"The child wasn't born from your belly. If you don't feel bad, then of course I do!"

Ning Yichu clenched his fists in anger, "I won't make things difficult for you. Since you and the Xun family haven't resolved your feud yet, wait until you've dealt with it, then come talk to me about this!"

After saying that, Ning Yichu no longer paid attention to his expression and walked into the ward.

The children were still sleeping, so Gu Lingyang didn't chase them. If he quarreled now, it would wake the children up.

His stern face was terribly gloomy.

After a long time, the man punched the cold wall, and blood flowed from his finger bones.

The phone also started ringing.

"Mr. Gu!" Qing Lu's voice rang out, "We've found the young lady. She and the young master... have been poisoned and their lives are uncertain!"

"Anyway... Madam is on her way here, please come over quickly too!"

Drugged? Poisoned, right?

Gu Lingyang's eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll come over later."

After hanging up the phone, he went to see Ningning for a while. Ning Yichu was just called over by the nurse to pay a bill.

Gu Lingyang gently kissed Ningning's forehead, his eyes filled with complexity, "Ningning, Daddy loves you."

"I'll be back soon."

"Bastard dad..."

Ningning's face was pale, and she suddenly murmured in her sleep.

She still had her eyes closed, as if she was in a nightmare, "Don't go..."

Gu Lingyang felt a pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Xun Daixi has come over. She is not as good as Xun Manyin, so he has to go...

"I'm sorry, baby..."

Gu Lingyang touched Ningning's hair, and finally made up his mind to leave...
