She's talking nonsense!
When did she decide to sell herself like this?
"Gong Chengjue...it was you who asked me to be your fiancée!"
“Yes, that’s how it started.” Gong Chengjue glanced at her, then sat down on the edge of the bed.
The moment he sat down, Su Ziqing felt a sense of oppression and almost instinctively stood up. "..."
He sat down and continued, "But not after that."
Gong Chengjue looked at her, reminding her of the change in circumstances, "Wasn't it you who agreed to go there?"
A reply made with a pleading tone.
Su Ziqing felt like her voice was about to be swallowed up. Did he mean that she no longer had the right to say no?
"I……"
"Do you expect me, a man with a fiancée whom I love deeply, to go out and find other women?" he asked seriously.
Deeply in love with his fiancée? Is this his persona from now on? Before Su Ziqing could refute, he continued, "Or do you think I should stay for five years?"
Su Ziqing looked at him for a while before saying, "I'm not your fiancée yet."
“Okay, so I'll give you time to adjust,” Gong Chengjue agreed.
How long does this take?
Su Ziqing wanted to discuss it further, but Gong Chengjue gave her two choices: go out now so he could sleep, or stay and sleep with him.
Startled, Su Ziqing's face changed drastically, and she darted out of the room like a rabbit.
Gong Chengjue's lips curled up slightly.
Su Ziqing, who rushed out of the room, wanted to leave immediately, but Qin Yuheng had previously instructed that if Gong Chengjue had a fever, they should be taken very seriously.
Luo Jinhan wasn't here, and Gong Chengjue was the only one there. She didn't dare to leave even if she wanted to.
She yawned, grabbed a blanket, and planned to sit on the sofa all night.
I dare not sleep with him; what if he suddenly becomes a beast again?
Her skills were utterly insignificant compared to his, which made her feel rather aggrieved. Shouldn't a young master from a prestigious family have bodyguards protecting him? Why did he have to train his own skills?
I took out my phone and started scrolling through the news.
There's practically no news about her grandfather's passing anymore; the Su family probably contacted the local media, haha.
Thinking about the banquet that evening, Su Tianming's wandering among the guests, and everyone's attitude towards him, Su Ziqing couldn't help but turn cold.
Her grandfather died suddenly, and the funeral was rushed. She didn't believe that the people in City A didn't find it strange, but they all pretended not to know or care, and still did business with someone like Su Tianming. Weren't they afraid?
I refreshed the news feed and several new articles popped up, one of which was related to the Su family.
Su Ziqing clicked in and took a look.
The person who wrote this news openly questioned the Su family's handling of the funeral arrangements and even threw out conspiracy theories.
The comments below are even more interesting.
"It seems that having two sons is not a good thing for a wealthy family. The expenses are not shared equally, and even the old man's funeral was done casually."
"I bet a dollar that the Su family will definitely have a property dispute."
"I bet five cents on the eldest son to win."
"Looks like there's going to be some good gossip this year. I'm eagerly awaiting the big family property battle."
Su Ziqing stepped out, rubbed her brows, yawned, closed her eyes, and leaned against the pillow to rest.
I never expected that I would fall asleep just by leaning against it like that.
When I woke up again, I was in bed.
She was so frightened that she immediately sat up abruptly...
Gong Chengjue, who was lying down next to her, was asleep and was not awakened by her movements.
Seeing that she was fully clothed, Su Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. But when had he carried her in?
She tiptoed out of bed, but before she could even leave the room, she heard the door open.
Then he met Luo Jinhan's gaze.
Su Ziqing: "..." She was dressed neatly and should have been very confident, but Luo Jinhan just looked perfectly normal and didn't even ask her to explain.
"Good morning, Miss Su."
Su Ziqing could only reply, "Good morning."
"Is Mr. Gong awake?" Luo Jinhan asked seriously, his eyes fixed straight ahead, without looking into the room.
"He, uh..."
"Call Qin Yuheng over here." Gong Chengjue's voice suddenly rang out from behind, and Su Ziqing's back stiffened.
She didn't know why she reacted that way. She felt a little guilty.
Luo Jinhan appeared extremely anxious. "Mr. Gong, are you feeling unwell?" Could it be that the fever has not only not subsided, but is actually getting higher?
“I aggravated my wound last night,” Gong Chengjue said.
Luo Jinhan immediately called Qin Yuheng and asked him to come over.
Su Ziqing stood there, and when she heard him say that he had aggravated his wound, and then she thought about how she was sleeping in bed, it was obvious that he had carried her in.
How can the wound heal if he keeps tearing it open like that?
"Dr. Qin said he'll be here right away." Luo Jinhan put down the phone and looked at Gong Chengjue with a worried expression.
He should have stayed if Mr. Gong hadn't thought he was being a nuisance.
Miss Su, sigh...
Su Ziqing sensed the complicated look in Luo Jinhan's eyes.
It seems like he's blaming her for doing something to Gong Chengjue. Does he think that Gong Chengjue aggravated his wound because of some kind of exercise?
Su Ziqing felt that her reputation was completely ruined overnight.
If she were to say something now, wouldn't it seem like she's trying to cover something up?
The more you try to explain, the worse it gets, right?
Qin Yuheng arrived very quickly. Su Ziqing had just finished washing up and hadn't even finished applying anything to her face when he arrived.
Looking at these unopened cosmetic jars, Gong Chengjue had said they were prepared for her. Did he mean he wanted her to move them over?!
"Miss Su." Luo Jinhan knocked on the door from the outside, interrupting Su Ziqing's reverie.
Su Ziqing went to open the door. "Hmm?"
"Dr. Qin wants to see you."
Qin Yuheng had just applied medicine to Gong Chengjue's wound while saying something, "If you keep doing this, I really won't take you as a 'client' anymore."
"Dr. Qin." Su Ziqing walked in and saw Gong Chengjue buttoning his shirt. She slightly looked away.
"Did you give him the medicine last night?" Qin Yuheng asked.
Su Ziqing nodded. "Hmm, what's wrong?" Did you eat something wrong?
“This, the small pills are the fever reducers.” Qin Yuheng looked at her. “What you gave him was an anti-inflammatory.”
Su Ziqing: "..." The two medicines look almost identical...
If he hadn't taken fever reducers, wouldn't Gong Chengjue be in that situation right now?
She looked at Gong Chengjue and only then noticed his tired expression. Without thinking twice, she stepped forward and touched his forehead.
"So hot?" His fever had completely gone from low to high, but he was still acting like nothing was wrong. He had just said that his wound was hurting.
"39.5 degrees Celsius, how can it not be hot?" Qin Yuheng said irritably. "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on his condition?"
"Qin Yuheng!" Gong Chengjue glanced at the complaining Qin Yuheng.
