"Gu Nian!" His lifeless eyes lit up the moment he saw Gu Nian. Li Muyan reached out and braced himself against the bed, trying to sit up.
The Gu sisters all came over.
"I'd like to speak with Gu Nian alone, is that alright?" Li Muyan asked weakly.
Gu Xin quietly handed something to Gu Nian. Gu Nian knew what it was as soon as she touched it and nodded to Li Muyan.
"Niannian, please help us persuade Muyan. He'll definitely listen to you." When Xie saw Gu Nian, it was as if she had seen a savior.
"I'll give it a try," Gu Nian nodded.
Everyone inside had left, and A-Dong thoughtfully checked the door.
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough..." Li Muyan coughed several more times, as if his lungs were about to come out.
Gu Nian patted his chest and said, "Why did you suddenly get like this? I'll go get you a glass of water!"
As he spoke, he got up to go to the table.
Gu Xin gave her two jade beads, so she agreed without hesitation to talk to Li Muyan alone.
In the past few days, when she came to talk to Li Muyan, either Gu Hui accompanied her, or all four sisters were there.
Li Muyan grabbed Gu Nian's arm, his deep eyes fixed on her without looking away, something he had never done even when discussing business.
His gaze made Gu Nian feel somewhat uneasy.
"Could you bring me that box covered in jewels on that shelf over there?" Li Muyan smiled, his eyes regaining their brightness.
"Okay, don't move, I'll get it for you! But you should have some water first." Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and fled to the table. She put the jade beads in her hand into the water glass behind Li Muyan's back and poured in warm water. The jade beads dissolved as soon as they came into contact with the water.
The moment Li Muyan looked at her, she was truly at a loss, as if her entire being had been drawn into his eyes, leaving her unable to think.
It's such a strange feeling.
She poured the water, walked over and handed it to Li Muyan naturally, then went to the shelf to get a small box for Li Muyan.
Li Muyan coughed several more times, took a sip of water, and felt much better. He then placed the water on the small table by the bedside.
Gu Nian brought the box over and placed it by the bedside.
"Gu Nian, sit down. I want to talk to you for a while!" Li Muyan said.
"Have you had any water?" Gu Nian glanced at the water glass, sat down, and asked.
“I drank it.” Li Muyan nodded. “Gu Nian, there are indentures in this box. All the indentures of the people working for me are in this box. There’s also the agreement we signed before. I know you won’t take it. When you make money in the future, just give the money to my mother. Also, I’ve asked my mother to have someone watch over the things in this room. You can come and get them whenever you need them. And…”
"Stop!" Gu Nian interrupted Li Muyan, feeling increasingly uneasy. It sounded like he was giving his last words.
"Gu Nian, there are some things I must tell you now, because I'm afraid I won't have the chance later!" Li Muyan said sadly.
"Li Muyan, what nonsense are you talking about! You're just a little unlucky. Aunt Luo said you'll be fine once you turn eighteen. There's still a year left, can't you hold on?" Gu Nian glared at him.
Li Muyan laughed: "What if I can't hold on anymore? If you don't let me speak my mind, wouldn't I die with my eyes open in disgrace? Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough, Gu Nian, just give me a chance and let me finish!"
Gu Nian picked up the water glass and handed it to him: "I can listen, but you should drink some water to soothe your throat! Your throat will feel uncomfortable if you talk so much."
