Capital city.

When Zhong Yi got up and went downstairs, she saw Gu Ting sitting at the dining table, taking over the servant's work and preparing breakfast himself.

"You are so free today?" Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and reached out to take the pastries on his plate.

"Don't move." Gu Ting rudely slapped his hand away, "This is for your sister."

Zhong Yi paused: "Isn't she going to the lab today?"

"Um."

"Did you see him yesterday?" Zhong Yi went to bed early, and Shen Qing didn't allow him to stay up late.

"Um."

“…”

Gu Ting glanced at him and saw that the boy was already sitting in his seat, waiting for the servant to serve breakfast.

"Zhongyi, you got up so early today." When Mr. Gu went downstairs, he saw the young man at the dining table.

"Well, good morning." Zhong Yi greeted with a smile, which was completely different from his attitude towards Gu Ting just now.

Not long after, Gu Yunsheng also came out of the room. After all the Gu family members sat at the table, Shen Qing slowly went downstairs.

Gu Ting pulled out a stool for the girls.

Gu Yunsheng glanced at Shen Qing’s breakfast and saw that it was made by Gu Ting himself.

"Go upstairs and take a nap after you finish eating." Gu Ting handed her a glass of milk. She fell asleep at around two in the morning.

"It's okay, let's take care of the business first." Chen Qing glanced at Zhong Yi, then turned his gaze towards Mr. Gu.

Gu Lao paused, he naturally knew what Shen Qing was talking about.

Gu Yunsheng was slightly stunned and slowed down his breakfast eating.

“After dinner, let Zhong Yi give Auntie a checkup.” Shen Qing said lightly, “But there is no guarantee of success.”

Gu Lao's eyes were slightly moist, and he nodded quickly: "It's okay, let's try it first."

Zhong Yi brought down the silver needle from upstairs. Gu Yunsheng was waiting in the room on the first floor. As soon as he walked in, Zhong Yi smelled a faint fragrance, a very ancient scent.

Shen Qing and his men were waiting outside, and the servant carefully rolled up Gu Yunsheng's trouser legs.

Zhong Yi disinfected the silver needle, then tapped Gu Yunsheng's fibula with a small hammer and asked, "Do you feel anything?"

"No."

Zhong Yi took out one and put it on: "Do you feel anything?"

"No."

…

An hour later when Zhong Yi came out.

"How is it?" Mr. Gu asked excitedly.

"There's no muscle atrophy, and Auntie has subtle feeling in her legs. However, she's been in this state for so long that it's unlikely she'll be able to stand up. I can't guarantee that."

"It doesn't matter if we fail." Gu Yunsheng was pushed out by the servant.

Shen Qing glanced at her: “I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

"Okay, go ahead." Gu Yunsheng responded with a smile.

"Then I'll go up too." Zhong Yi followed Shen Qing.

Gu Mingyue glanced at Gu Yunsheng, the elder. "Aunt, Zhongyi is a genius just like his sister. Your leg will definitely heal."

Gu Yunsheng smiled. Her legs had been disabled for more than ten years, and she no longer had much hope.

"Xiao Ting, I have something to ask you." Gu Yunsheng suddenly glanced at Gu Ting.

"Yeah." Gu Ting glanced at her and pushed the person into the room.

Gu Yunsheng looked at him: "Please sit down first."

"Okay." Gu Ting sat opposite her.

Gu Ting's parents died young, and he was raised by Gu Yunsheng. Gu Yunsheng knew his personality, and it wasn't as exaggerated as the rumors outside. However, Gu Ting's thoughts had been hidden since he was a child, unlike Ming Yue and Ming Jing who were lively and straightforward.

"Xiao Ting, Qingqing is a good girl, don't let her down." Gu Yunsheng said earnestly.

Gu Ting was slightly stunned: "How could it be."

"When you were in Jiang City, what did you like about me? Do you think I don't know?" Gu Yunsheng's eyes twitched when he thought of the kiss mark on Shen Qing's neck.

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes, looked at his aunt and smiled: "Aunt, you don't think I'm that superficial, do you?"

"A little bit."

“…”

Gu Ting admitted that the reason he initially approached Shen Qing was not only because of her good looks, but also because of Jiang Shanbei's whereabouts.

The aura of Shen Qing did not seem to be raised in that small place. This time, he made the right bet.

"Qingqing is young, don't go too far." Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Gu Yunsheng reminded him again.

Gu Ting was stunned and wanted to explain that he had not done anything excessive, but Gu Yunsheng no longer wanted to listen.

"Go out and bring the people with you."

"good……"
