Chapter 34 Mom, will it hurt more?
Everything around seemed to suddenly freeze with He Cong's question.
Shang Youqing stood there, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, staring at the extremely detailed examination report on the screen. His heart seemed to be stretched tight by an invisible thread. He was silent for a long, long time until the screen went dark again.
Finally, Shang Youqing came back to his senses from the inspection report, and unknowingly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the palm of his hand holding the phone.
"Young Master He..." Shang Youqing's usually calm voice trembled slightly after just a few words. She paused for a few seconds and then continued, "Is he having a high fever now?"
"Well, I've been having a fever all day, so I called your name." He Cong paused, then called her calmly, "Shang Youqing, you haven't answered my question yet."
Shang Youqing felt that her skin and bones were bound by a fine coldness, but her mind was clearer and calmer than ever before.
This time she only paused for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone sounded stable again, but she didn't show the cold attitude she had shown towards He Cong in the past. "I'm going to Bindao now. Can we talk when I get there?"
Hearing these words, He Cong's originally cold voice suddenly softened, as if he was coaxed in an instant, and he agreed.
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Youqing remained motionless, holding the phone tightly, looking a little absent-minded.
Until Shang You called from not far behind, "Mom?"
Shang Youqing blinked, turned around and saw Shang You standing obediently at the entrance of the kindergarten with her two little hands clutching the straps of her schoolbag. She looked at her with some confusion, as if she didn't understand why her mother was standing across the street and didn't come over.
Shang Youqing readjusted his thoughts and forced himself to calm down again.
She knew that this was not the time to think about anything else, so she immediately went back to the kindergarten and took Shang You to the electric car.
"Baby, He Zhimo suddenly has a high fever and won't go away. I need to go over and take a look. Can I take you to your uncle first?"
Shang You hugged her mother's waist. Her pupils dilated slightly when she heard this. Her hands clenched tightly, and she felt inexplicably uneasy. "Is it as uncomfortable as the burning feathers I had before?"
Shang Youqing thought of the medical report and his eyelashes twitched again, "Hmm... maybe."
"That would be so painful." Shang You's face furrowed as she thought of the two days when she first shed her tail. "He Zhimo looked so fragile. When we were growing cabbages together before, he told me that he was always sick and taking medicine at home. Mom, will it hurt him even more?"
Shang Youqing's body visibly stiffened slightly, but she managed to keep her expression steady as she heard herself utter with some difficulty, "Mom doesn't know yet, so I have to go check on him first."
Knowing that Mu Jiuhan had returned to China and had also set his sights on Shang You, Shang Youqing did not take Shang You to Lao Yan this time, but took Shang You directly to Lu Jingchi just in case.
It happened that Lu Jingchi had just returned home from a notice. After taking Shang Youqing over, he repeatedly assured her, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely take good care of Youyou at home!"
Shang You obediently let her uncle take her with him, and waved to her mother: "Mom, go quickly."
Shang Youqing finally felt relieved. She came out of Lu Jingchi's residential complex and was about to take a bus to Yanyuan when a familiar car stopped in front of her.
Shang Youqing stopped and his calm face showed a clear coldness at this moment.
The next second, just as she turned and walked towards another road, the driver's door opened and Mu Weiting walked out of the car, blocking her way.
"You Qing, you should have guessed that I'm here to stop you from seeing him."
Shang Youqing looked at him and said, "I remember the kindness you showed me, so I can forgive those little tricks you did behind my back, but please don't force me anymore."
Mu Weiting looked at her expressionless face and said, "I just want to tell you, Junior Sister, it's useless for you to go. It will only make the He family's father and son pester you. They will only harm you."
Shang Youqing's eyes curved into an extremely cold arc as he stared back, "So, Senior Brother, you admit that the human I slept with back then was He Cong."
Mu Weiting's expression didn't reveal the slightest flaw: "You Qing is so smart, even if I wanted to hide it, I can't."
"Why."
Mu Weiting said calmly, "What?"
"I don't understand why Senior Brother would collude with someone like Mu Jiuhan, who was expelled from the sect, to deal with me. I also don't understand why Senior Brother would rather go to Ji Huaizhuo as a pretext to try to misidentify me, rather than letting me recognize He Cong."
Shang Youqing's face grew colder as he spoke. "But even if Senior Brother doesn't tell me, it doesn't matter. I will find out everything. But I have to go to Yanyuan now. Please, Senior Brother, please get out of my way."
Mu Weiting stood still in front of her, his face gentle and calm, "Maybe Senior Brother does have selfish motives in some aspects, but there is only one thing, You Qing, please believe me, I am not letting you get close to He Cong, simply because I hope you are safe and don't repeat the same mistakes."
Shang Youqing's patience finally ran out at this moment. "Get out of the way."
Seeing the golden glow in her eyes, Mu Weiting knew that she was determined to go to Yanyuan even if it meant fighting with him. After only half a second of contemplation, Mu Weiting pressed his thumb tightly against his clenched fist and chose to compromise: "Okay, can I take you there?"
Shang Youqing didn't want to waste any more time here, so he opened the passenger door and got in. "Drive."
After Mu Weiting started the car, Shang Youqing added expressionlessly, "If you don't want anything to happen on the way, please send me to Yanyuan safely as soon as possible."
Mu Weiting could naturally hear the threat behind her words, but he just smiled helplessly, "I will wait for you outside Yanyuan, Youqing. I believe you will understand my brother's painstaking efforts after you go there."
Shang Youqing didn't want to hear a word. He turned his head to look out the window, his heart still hanging in the air.
Until they arrived at Yanyuan, Mu Weiting looked over when she unbuckled her seat belt, as if he was preparing to say something to her, but before he could open his mouth, Shang Youqing pulled off her seat belt and got out of the car without looking back.
The gate of Yanyuan opened and Butler Chen came to pick people up in person.
After entering the lake center, Shang Youqing finally couldn't help but ask, "Is the young master okay?"
Butler Chen walked beside him and shook his head distressedly, "It's not good... The young master has been having recurring fevers since he came back. He cried in the master's arms all day and his voice became hoarse. I've never seen the young master so sick before..."
