"By the way, is your injury alright?" Li Rong asked with concern.
"It's all over now. As long as you get some rest, you'll be fine. Thank you for your concern," Gu Sang said with a smile, her gaze softening as she looked at Li Rong.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong's expression became even more uncomfortable.
"It's good that you're alright, Gu Sang. You should go back and rest early. I won't bother you any longer," Li Rong said, then turned and left, leaving Gu Sang staring blankly at his departing figure.
"This fool!" Gu Sang shook her head helplessly, then turned and walked back. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She felt that she was really lucky to have met such a good person.
......
The next morning.
After waking up and washing up, Gu Sang sat down at the table to eat, thinking about what happened last night as she ate.
She felt incredibly lucky to have met such a considerate and thoughtful person as Li Rong. She was also someone who always repaid kindness, and since they were friends, she would never let Li Rong down, regardless of whether he had any romantic feelings for her. After all, he had helped her, so she should repay him.
She thought about it for a while and decided that she should find an opportunity to thank him.
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock..." The knocking sound suddenly rang out.
"Who is it?" Gu Sang asked in confusion.
"It's me, Li Rong." Li Rong answered Gu Sang from outside the door. After waiting for a long time without Gu Sang speaking, he gently pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Sang sitting at the table eating breakfast. Seeing Gu Sang sitting in the chair eating, he suddenly felt very satisfied, because he had been looking forward to this scene for a long time, but had never encountered it.
Seeing Li Rong enter, Gu Sang looked up at her, smiled, and said, "Li Rong, come sit down and have breakfast." After saying that, she turned back to continue eating her breakfast.
After hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Rong walked to the table and sat down.
"Li Rong, I've made up my mind. This breakfast is on me," Gu Sang said with a smile.
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Rong immediately refused, saying, "No, Gu Sang, you saved my life yesterday. How can I let you treat me? If you don't want me to treat you, then I will treat you. My treat is to thank you for saving my life yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you then." After saying that, the two smiled at each other.
After the two finished breakfast, Gu Sang prepared to leave. Seeing this, Li Rong hurriedly said, "Hey, don't rush, I'll see you off." After saying that, she jumped off the stool and ran out of the room.
"Hey, Li Rong, wait for me! Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I was leaving," Gu Sang said.
“I’m not in a hurry. I’m just worried that you’ll go too far and I won’t be able to catch up with you. That would be troublesome for me. Let me take you back,” Li Rong said.
Gu Sang hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Then... okay then."
Gu Sang said that she felt Li Rong was a very good person, and also a very righteous person. Such a person is truly rare.
Soon they went out, and when they got into the carriage, the two of them remained silent all the way, and soon they arrived near Gu Sang's house.
After getting off the carriage, Gu Sang waved to Li Rong and said, "Goodbye, you should go back quickly too, and be careful."
"Okay, then get some rest when you get back," Li Rong said.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Sang nodded.
"Bye-bye." Li Rong waved and then turned and left.
Seeing Li Rong leave, Gu Sang sighed, feeling a little disappointed. But then she smiled and said to herself, "Oh well, it's just a chance encounter anyway. We're not even that familiar. Why should I keep making a fuss?"
After thinking all this through, she turned around and prepared to go home.
Just as Gu Sang turned her head, a carriage sped past her, startling her so much that she quickly patted her chest.
"Phew~ Seriously, that was so dangerous, I almost hit someone," Gu Sang complained.
Just as Gu Sang finished speaking, a black figure rushed over from behind and pulled her into the carriage.
"Ah~" Gu Sang exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the person who had pulled her onto the carriage, still shaken, and said in terror, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing much, I'm just taking you home. Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to take you back," the man holding Gu Sang said with a smile.
"No need, I have a home now. Thank you, but I can go home by myself. Don't bother me." Gu Sang hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"I told you, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to take you home. You don't need to think about it." The man said with a smile. After saying that, he didn't give Gu Sang any chance to refute him and directly led Gu Sang towards the Gu family's direction.
Seeing this person's unreasonable attitude, Gu Sang was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Soon, they arrived at the Gu family's residence.
At the Gu family home, Master Gu and Master Li were having breakfast when they were both very happy to see Gu Sang return.
"Ah Sang, you're finally back! Where have you been these past few days? We couldn't find you anywhere, and we were so worried about you!" Old Master Gu hurriedly stood up to greet Gu Sang, his voice filled with excitement.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm back now. See, I'm back safe and sound, so don't worry anymore. Okay, I'm tired now, I'll go upstairs to rest first, you guys take your time eating," Gu Sang said with a smile.
"Go on, go and rest. Your father and I won't keep you from resting any longer. Go and rest now," Master Li urged Gu Sang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang smiled and nodded, then turned and went upstairs.
After seeing Gu Sang go upstairs, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li exchanged glances, both looking at each other with some confusion. Mr. Li said, "Old Gu, have you noticed that Asang is a little different from usual today?"
"Different? How are they different?" Master Gu asked, also finding it strange.
“Think about it carefully, have you noticed that she has lost a lot of weight recently?” said Mr. Li.
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Mr. Gu looked closely and realized that he had indeed missed these details. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, I didn't notice those things, but what does that have to do with Asang's pale face?"
While Master Gu and Master Li were talking, Gu Sang sat in her seat, lost in thought.
She was considering the matter of Master Gao.
Although the Crown Prince helped her, the powerful Gao family wields considerable influence, and it's uncertain how they will retaliate against her.
And Li Rong...?
