Although Gu Ci's words were somewhat impulsive, setting aside his emotional outbursts, the content still offered valuable insights!
Yan Jingzhou pulled up the little girl who was rubbing her tummy with a troubled expression and walked to the garage.
Seeing the little girl's bright, sparkling eyes, the man's gaze softened slightly. "Go pick out a car you like, and I'll take you to meet someone!"
As the sleek blue Shelby sports car drove onto the road, Gong Ning excitedly jumped up and down in her seat, her bright, dark eyes filled with admiration.
She lovingly rubbed the car's texture with her fingers, and the smile on her little face became much more lively, full of energy and spirit. She looked vibrant, lively, and playful.
A genuine smile like that shows she's truly happy.
Yan Jingzhou smiled slightly, turned the steering wheel, and went to the private sanatorium of Yanyun Hospital.
He knew the root of Gong Ning's inner turmoil.
She took all the blame upon herself, immersing herself in deep remorse.
They want to get out of this situation, yet they don't want to.
He's punishing himself in this almost self-destructive way...
——
The sanatorium has a very good environment and pleasant air, comparable to the refreshing climate of Stargazing Garden.
Autumn has arrived in Liangcheng, and the autumn atmosphere is gradually becoming stronger.
The sanatorium's crisscrossing forest paths are dotted with fallen, still-green leaves, which contrast beautifully with the lush green lawn, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Gong Ning's mood improved at a visible speed; after all, a pleasant environment can soothe and calm the nerves to some extent.
It was quiet all around, and the wind was gentle. Yan Jingzhou took Gong Ning's hand and led her to a courtyard decorated in a rustic style. The simple wooden door was gently pushed open.
In the courtyard stood a simply dressed old man, who was bending over with his back to the door, tending to the ripe vegetables in the garden.
He was focused and attentive, as if the slight sound of the door opening had not caught his attention.
Gong Ning stared blankly at the hunched back of the old man in the distance.
She turned to look at Yan Jingzhou, her tone a mix of bewilderment and disbelief, "He, he is..."
The man released his large hand from the girl's small hand and gently stroked her delicate nose. "Go on, go and see for yourself..."
Gong Ning's fingers unconsciously intertwined again, twisting helplessly, but her feet involuntarily wandered to the old man's side.
The old man then noticed someone had arrived and looked up.
The moment Gong Ning saw the old man's face clearly, she uncontrollably covered her mouth with her hand.
Grandfather....
It's my grandfather, it's actually my grandfather...
She felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw his back, but couldn't quite place where she had seen him before...
It turns out it was my grandfather, the Emperor...
Her previously chubby figure has become so thin.
His sleeves and trouser legs were hanging loosely; how did he get so thin? Grandpa loved to eat so much...
Gong Ning suddenly threw herself into the old man's arms, tightly hugging his thin, bony body, sobbing uncontrollably, "Grandpa, why have you gotten so thin? Didn't you tell A-Yun that you wanted to eat all the delicious food in the world? Grandpa, A-Yun misses you~~"
Ling Yunfeng blinked blankly, somewhat at a loss as to what to do with the little girl who suddenly rushed into his arms and burst into tears without saying a word. He subconsciously raised his hand, which had been hanging by his side, and gently patted Gong Ning's back. "Don't cry, A-Yun. Did someone bully you? Grandpa will blow on you, and you'll feel better!"
The old man's childlike words suddenly brought Gong Ning back to her senses, her eyes filled with disbelief!
