The phone rang suddenly; it was Yan Jingzhou calling.
Gong Ning blinked quickly to hide the tears welling up in her eyes, glanced down at her phone screen a few times, and let the phone ring incessantly without answering.
"Ah Lin, tell me, if he knew everything that happened to me during those nine months, would we still be together?"
She kept her head down, not looking at Ah Lin, and spoke in a very low voice. With the incessant ringing of her phone, Ah Lin could barely hear her.
Your Highness~~~
Ah Lin looked at the prince, who was full of dejection, with heartache, and didn't know what to say for a moment!
In her previous life, if it had awakened earlier and returned to her side to protect her when Her Highness was five years old, she might have been able to avoid those hellish experiences...
She will remain that delicate and adorable princess, growing up carefree...
Everything was so wonderful before...
Gong Ning answered to herself, "Probably not. He's like sunshine, how could he accept those unbearable and dark pasts?"
【Your Highness, perhaps you've misunderstood? The Grand Master dotes on you so much, why would he mind such things…】
The girl chuckled softly, a hint of coldness in her voice. "Don't you mind? Then why did you investigate me?"
Alin suddenly fell silent. It could see the affection and tenderness that Yan Jingzhou had for its prince, and it wanted to say a good word for him to appease the prince.
However, investigating His Highness without authorization is indeed a bit unethical.
Doesn't this clearly tell His Highness that he neither respects nor trusts him?
His Highness is not easily angered, but when he does get angry, it's extraordinary.
Gong Ning's inherent stubbornness and obstinacy were known to her better than anyone else...
A-Lin stood on her bent knees, his big eyes blinking. "So, Your Highness, have you decided where you want to go? It's so windy here; you'll get sick if you stay any longer!"
Gong Ning stared at the ground for a long, long time before finally seeming to realize what was happening and softly said, "Oh!"
"Ah Lin, I don't want to see him right now. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
【Wherever Your Highness goes, A-Lin will go! A-Lin will always follow Your Highness!】A-Lin swayed its little waist and spoke with great spirit, it was always so cheerful.
Unconsciously influenced by it, Gong Ning smiled. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang again. Without even looking at it, she hung up.
A car suddenly stopped beside her. Gong Ning subconsciously turned her head to look, but when she saw the person who had come, there was no fluctuation in her eyes.
Lan You closed the car door and walked over. "Gong Ning, why didn't you answer my calls?"
"Hmm?" Gong Ning took out her phone and looked at the previous call history. She found that in the missed call list, besides Yan Jingzhou, there was also Lan You.
He turned off his phone and didn't answer her question, "What do you want so late?"
Lan You's eyes flickered, and her voice tinged with sadness, "I... I broke up with my boyfriend. You're the only person I know well in China, so I called you, but you didn't answer after I called so many times..."
There was also a hint of complaint in his voice.
Gong Ning chuckled lightly, "It's so late, isn't it normal for me not to answer the phone?"
Lan You was stunned. In the few days she had known Gong Ning, this was the first time she had heard her speak so coldly, as if she were a machine without any emotion.
"Gong Ning, you..."
The other person interrupted her, "Is there anything else? If not, go back. Your breakup with your boyfriend has little to do with me!"
Gong Ning was exhausted at this moment, so exhausted that she couldn't even think clearly about her own affairs. She really didn't have any room to be a considerate confidante in front of others.
Who cares? It's none of her business!
Lan You's face flashed an awkward smile. Gong Ning's words were very impolite. She really wanted to leave, but then she remembered the promise that person had made to her.
A few painful struggles flashed in his eyes. He looked down and examined Gong Ning from head to toe. Upon seeing her, a look of surprise crossed his face. "Gong Ning, what happened? Did you hit your head? It's bleeding!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gong Ning's reply, he reached out and helped her up from the cold ground, opened the car door and shoved her inside.
Gong Ning was surprised that even though she had just said such heartless things, Lan You did not turn around and leave immediately, but instead kindly helped her into the car.
My heart, which had been feeling chilly, suddenly warmed up considerably.
She should have been wary of this concern, but at that moment, Gong Ning was so exhausted that she forgot even the most basic precautions.
At this moment, Ah Lin accidentally fell asleep again.
Exhausted both physically and mentally, she failed to notice that Lan You, who had been talking about breaking up with her boyfriend, showed no sadness whatsoever. She even readily believed such a flimsy excuse.
"It's so late, and you can't go back to school. Are you alright? Do you need me to take you to the hospital to get your bandages reapplied?"
"No need, let's just find any hotel. I'm a little tired and want to sleep!"
"Okay, why would you go to Liangcheng Bridge in the middle of the night? The temperature is a bit low at this time of year. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Gong Ning chuckled softly, "How did you know I was there?"
Lan You's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. "I was just driving around aimlessly, and I never expected to actually find you!"
"Oh!" Gong Ning responded softly, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.
Lan You glanced at the water bottle beside her, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, turning pale. She looked at Gong Ning in the rearview mirror; she seemed very tired, and her eyes were closed. Was she asleep?
Taking a deep breath, Lan You picked up the water bottle. "Gong Ning, Gong Ning?"
"Hmm?" The other person opened their eyes slightly. "What's wrong? Have we arrived at the hotel?"
"Oh, we're not there yet," Lan You smiled casually and handed the water bottle to him. "Have some water. You've been out in the cold wind for so long, your throat must be a little dry!"
Gong Ning was caught off guard and drank a few sips without hesitation. Then she closed her eyes again and said, "I'm going to take a nap. Call me when we get to the hotel!"
"good!"
...
Lan You took the unconscious Gong Ning to the hotel room that had been booked in advance and noticed her slightly reddened eyes.
His gaze flickered slightly...
Gong Ning cried before, right?
He then took his phone and walked to the window, hesitated for a few seconds, and dialed a number.
"I've taken the person to the room. I'll give you the hotel room number after I return your belongings!"
The other party didn't use any voice processor and spoke to her in their real voice, "Miss Lan is efficient, and I will naturally keep my word. However, what you need can only be given to you after tonight's events have been settled!"
Lan You sneered, "Gong Xiangru, don't treat everyone else as fools. If you play me, you know that even if I'm the only one left in the Lan family, I will fight you to the death!"
