Gong Shangyue, who had only been there for a few hours, spoke for Luo Shuang, expressing the feelings that had been hidden in her heart for many years.
After learning everything while in prison, Luo Shuang suddenly realized that her beliefs and convictions over the years were wrong, even ridiculously absurd.
The collapse of faith can happen in an instant.
For Luo Shuang, she didn't have the courage to live on.
Choosing to posthumously confer a title upon himself was the maximum amount of atonement he could bear.
Luo Yangfan once suspected that Shen Rongzhi had tampered with Luo Shuang's treatment.
But perhaps he never imagined that what caused Luo Shuang's psychological distortion was the lack of parent-child communication that he had unintentionally missed.
Because of a small oversight, this twisted seed was allowed to take root and sprout in the heart of Luo Shuang, who was still a child, until it eroded all her reason...
People often advise future generations to nip problems in the bud and plan ahead.
But what's most easily overlooked are precisely the little, insignificant details...
...
Gong Shangyue left, ending her life in a way that Gong Ning could not know.
Shen Yuchen also left in a decisive and efficient manner.
She even pushed her family away again.
Ah Lin has fallen asleep.
Gong Ning is also sick.
I had a persistent low-grade fever for several days, and the fever made me feel both lucid and confused at times. When I was talking in my sleep, I thought about many things, but when I woke up, I had forgotten most of them.
A week later, she finally shook off the clingy, sickly Gong Ning and regained her usual quirky and energetic self.
She skipped and hopped around the garden, racing with Tuanzi. Her bright and radiant smile seemed to vanish along with her sickness.
The wound on his wrist healed at an astonishing speed under the treatment of the secret ointment that Yan Jingzhou had Bai Yi send over.
Now only a faint pinkish mark remains.
Although the ointment is a special secret recipe passed down through generations of the Yan people, its efficacy is not good enough to make the wound scab over and heal in just a few days.
However, everyone, including Gu Ci, had clearly become accustomed to Gong Ning's terrifying recovery speed.
Ever since she came back from the dead, he has been unable to treat Gong Ning as an ordinary person with a normal heart.
The rich inner world beneath Gu Ci's expressionless face.
Gong Ning naturally had no idea.
Seeing Gu Ci carrying his medicine kit and about to leave, someone asked, "Dr. Gu, are you leaving now?"
Gu Ci responded calmly, "Mm!"
Fine beads of sweat glistened on Gong Ning's smooth forehead. Seeing Gu Ci's expressionless face, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. "Dr. Gu, didn't you go on a blind date before? You should have a girlfriend now, right?"
Gu Ci: "..."
"Dr. Gu, you already have a girlfriend, so you shouldn't have such a cold expression on your face all the time. What if your girlfriend is timid and accidentally gets scared away by you? These days, it's not easy to find a partner, so you have to cherish the opportunity. It would be such a pity if you ruined it just because you failed to manage your expression, right?"
Gu Ci's face darkened. He glanced coldly at the man standing behind Gong Ning, then turned and walked away quickly.
"Hey? Dr. Gu, why are you walking so fast? I haven't finished talking yet! Oh dear, are you shy? Don't be shy, I have many more brilliant plans in this bag! Hey hey hey!"
Gong Ning watched Gu Ci drive away and sighed with feigned regret.
Before she could react, the man's strong, muscular arms wrapped around her waist.
The scorching heat penetrated the thin shirt, which wasn't thick enough, and spread aggressively onto the skin.
Gong Ning blushed and stood frozen in the man's arms, forgetting to move.
Although the northern country was entering early autumn with light steps, the cool city, still carrying the lingering charm of summer, did not suddenly cool down.
In the afternoon, Stargazing Garden, surrounded by trees that have not yet lost their greenery, is exceptionally refreshing and comfortable.
However, the coolness at this moment did not reduce the heat on Gong Ning's face in the slightest; on the contrary, it seemed to be getting worse.
The man reached out and stroked the girl's soft hair, his tone indifferent: "What other brilliant plans do you have in your 'secret weapon'? Why don't you tell me?"
Gong Ning stiffly moved her neck, feeling the man's breath so close to hers, which was incredibly alluring. She pursed her pink lips and said, "There's no magic trick at all. I was just... just teasing Doctor Gu on purpose!"
A dark glint flashed in the man's eyes, and his arms tightened around Gong Ning's waist, completely trapping the girl in his embrace. His calm tone carried a hint of danger, "How come I never knew... you were so good to Gu Ci?"
Gong Ning felt a chill run down her spine. With a strong survival instinct, she blinked rapidly and whispered in Yan Jingzhou's ear, "It was Ji Chen's assistant who said that Dr. Gu's blind date failed, and then asked me to give Dr. Gu some advice. You see, Ji Chen is always so busy, this little request isn't unreasonable, so I agreed..."
After Gong Ning finished speaking, she quickly turned around and looked at Ji Chen not far away, and saw that his expression was normal.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he hadn't heard me.
He inwardly groaned: "Assistant Ji, I'm sorry, but this is a special case, so we need to treat you specially!"
Please don't be offended!
Yan Jingzhou narrowed his eyes, stared at her for several seconds, and suddenly spoke, "Ji Chen, come here!"
Gong Ning froze, and a few tears welled up in her big, blinking eyes.
Why isn't Yan Jingzhou falling for her tricks today? He's not playing by the rules.
Oh no, my image in Assistant Ji's eyes is completely ruined now.
Gong Ning watched as Ji Chen drew closer, his dark gaze almost fixed on Ji Chen's leather shoes.
I kept praying that they wouldn't come over.
However.
Ji Chen's voice, tinged with a hint of respect, slowly rang out, "Sir, what did you call me for?"
Gong Ning hissed inwardly and closed her eyes, feeling utterly hopeless.
That's it, I'm going to die here today.
Yan Jingzhou, if you dare to confront Ji Chen today, I'll never forgive you.
Gong Ning thought fiercely, and even secretly placed her hand on the man's side waist, poking him with a threatening gesture.
Yan Jingzhou froze, his thin lips pressed together instantly, and a hint of unreadable forbearance appeared between his handsome brows.
"Ji Chen! There's been a problem with a project in Africa recently. Go and investigate it. Go now!"
Ji Chen: "??!!"
As far as he knew, the hard work of following up on projects in Africa was something that you only had the chance to experience after making mistakes, right?
What did he do?
He didn't do anything wrong, did he? How did he end up being exiled to Africa?
Shouldn't this kind of job only be assigned to Sister Song Xi?
Gong Ning, who was originally on edge, instinctively poked Yan Jingzhou's side with her finger when she heard him speak.
The man's lips tightened instantly.
After realizing what Yan Jingzhou had just said, Gong Ning suddenly fell silent.
She withdrew her delicate fingers, lowered her head, and pondered for a few seconds.
She suddenly looked up, staring at Ji Chen with a pained expression, her voice full of regret, "Assistant Ji, my God, you're actually going to Africa? That means you'll have plenty of opportunities to greet lions..."
