Yan Jingzhou noticed that the little girl had stopped walking for a while, and as soon as he turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He immediately bent down to support Gong Ning, whose face was pale and streaked with tears. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? I'll go call Gu Ci..."
"Ah Zhou!" The girl's soft, weak voice interrupted him.
The girl gripped the man's forearm tightly with both hands, taking a labored breath. "A-Zhou, I want to go back to the bedroom. Take me back to the bedroom. I... I'm a little weak..."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the man's expression, which had initially shown some concern, suddenly changed. In an instant, he picked her up and strode into the bedroom.
These small noises went unnoticed by the people downstairs.
He carefully placed the girl on the bed and tenderly tucked her in.
Yan Jingzhou's fingertips trembled for a moment; the last time she lost her strength...
The continuous whirring of the machines in the emergency operating room...
She walked out of the bedroom with slightly hurried steps, and the next moment she called Gu Ci, "Gong Ning just had another bout of weakness. You and Tan Xun come over as soon as possible, okay, hurry up!"
After hanging up the phone, the man opened the door again to check on Gong Ning's condition.
The little girl was wrapped in a blanket by Yan Jingzhou, with only her fluffy little head sticking out. Hearing him enter, Gong Ning opened her slightly closed eyes, her big eyes red and moist. "They're gone... right?"
The girl's voice held a hint of dejection, yet her reddened eyes held a faint glimmer of hope.
I want them to leave, yet I also want them to stay...
We feel frustrated and down because they leave, but we also have hope because they stay.
A flicker of heartache crossed the man's eyes, but seeing her weak and powerless lying on the bed with her pale face, he felt a pang of sadness.
Yan Jingzhou's eyes flashed almost imperceptibly, and his fingers tightened around his phone. He spoke in a gentle, warm voice, "Yes, I sent them back!"
The girl's breath hitched for a moment. She stared blankly up at the gentle-looking man standing beside the bed, then lowered her eyes and softly replied, "Oh!"
The man's long, slender, pale fingers curled slightly. "Hmm, let's rest first. After lunch, I'll take you somewhere!"
"Um!"
The girl slowly closed her eyes, as if trying to hide the sadness that filled them.
In the lobby on the first floor, Lu Weixi and the others looked expectantly at Yan Jingzhou as he came downstairs, but there was nothing behind him.
Lu Weixi's heart skipped a beat, and her face stiffened slightly.
Even as she hurriedly stood up, her body trembled slightly, and her lips moved slightly, "Ah Yun... doesn't want to see us?"
Yan Jingzhou's dark eyes were filled with tranquility, their depths and mystique unfathomable. His cool voice rang out indifferently, "No, it was their class reunion last night. They stayed out a bit late and are still sleeping. They won't wake up for a while!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Weixi breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously smoothing her chest, and said with undisguised cheerfulness, "It's okay, it's okay, we can wait, wait for her to wake up, I, I..."
Concern leads to confusion...
The usually decisive, assertive, and shrewd lady of the aristocratic family failed to notice the obvious refusal in Yan Jingzhou's words.
Lu Weixi's joyful gaze suddenly met Yan Jingzhou's calm and deep gaze, and all the words she was about to say were choked in her throat, "You..."
Yan Jingzhou shifted his gaze, suppressing the deep, complex emotions in his dark eyes, and spoke indifferently, "Madam Gong, your sudden arrival today, without any warning, and your abrupt desire to appear before Jiaojiao, have you considered whether Jiaojiao can accept such a suddenness?"
Lu Weixi froze on the spot.
