nGu Jingze’s heart thumped as he looked at her lips. They had a perfect shape and were moist and soft like the wet and red flesh of fruit. However, they also seemed to carry a hint of seduction.

nHe turned his head and gently moved closer.

nHowever, just as he inched closer, her pair of big eyes that had been tranquil suddenly opened.

nHis aloof face froze there and then as he looked at Lin Che’s glazed eyes.

nAt that moment, she felt that the distance before her eyes was a little ambiguous. In turn, she rubbed her eyes in a daze.

nThe effect of the medication had also robbed her of her rationality.

n“You…” As she looked at his sensual and perky lips before her eyes, she felt her heart itch.

n“Sleep properly.” He let out a dry cough and stretched his hand out to cover her eyes.

nSoon after, her breathing evened out again.

nOn the other hand, Gu Jingze turned his head away and did not glance at the woman beside him again.

nBut when he closed his eyes once again, he could still feel her arm attacking his chest.

nHe frowned but he seemed to have gradually gotten used to her occasional attacks. He soon went straight to sleep.

nOn the second day, Gu Jingze was already long gone when Lin Che woke up.

nIt was only when she was done washing up that Gu Jingze brought breakfast over.

nLin Che’s thigh no longer hurt and accordingly, her mood also took a turn for the better. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Just like I told you, it’s definitely possible to sleep like we did last night. Look at how much sharper you look.”

nGu Jingze merely glanced at her silently. He did not talk about how he had found her sprawled across his body when he woke up in the morning and how she had drooled on his neck.

nJust the thought of that made him feel an itch on his neck.

nVery soon after, the doctor came to change Lin Che’s bandages again. Looking at her wound, it seemed to have gotten much better. However, the scar was still hideous and Gu Jingze continued wearing an unpleasant expression.

n“Doctor, when will my wife’s thigh recover completely?”

nThe doctor heard Gu Jingze’s low voice as he asked this and quickly said, “This will need…”

nBefore he could respond, Gu Jingze’s cell phone started ringing.

nGu Jingze took a look. It was Mo Huiling.

nStill waiting to hear the doctor’s response, he rejected the call.

nSensing the situation, the doctor continued, “This is…”

nBut right at that moment, his cell phone started ringing again.

nGu Jingze looked at his cell phone a little impatiently. Mo Huiling’s name kept flashing on the screen. At the side, Lin Che lifted her head and said, “Gu Jingze, pick up the call first and we’ll discuss it later.”

nGu Jingze’s face tensed. He glanced at Lin Che before reluctantly turning away and walking out while holding his phone.

nHe picked up the phone, his impatience showing slightly in his voice. “Huiling, is something the matter?”

nMo Huiling pouted playfully through the phone and said, “Why did you reject my call earlier?”

nGu Jingze was still mulling over the doctor’s words and said into the phone, “I was busy just now. Why?”

nMo Huiling said, “You didn’t come to celebrate my birthday and after that, you didn’t care about me either. Jingze, what exactly is up with you?”

nGu Jingze recalled the day of her birthday. Because of the car accident that happened that day, he did not meet her and thereafter, he was busy attending to Lin Che’s injury.

n“I’ve just gotten busier recently.” Because the accident had not been made publicly known, Gu Jingze did not tell Mo Huiling either.

n“Now that I’m ill, won’t you come and visit me too?” Mo Huiling whined.

n“You’re ill?” Gu Jingze asked.

nMo Huiling choked back a sob and said, “I want you to come and keep me company. I don’t care what you’re busy with. Jingze, if you don’t come to see me, I definitely won’t get better. Right now, I feel like I’m about to die soon.”

nWas it actually that severe? To the point that she was about to die?

nAfter Gu Jingze returned to the ward, he said to Lin Che, “Something happened to Huiling. I have to go over and take a look.”

nLin Che spaced out. She looked at him and nodded her head. “Oh, go ahead. There are so many people watching over me here. Nothing will happen anyway.”

nGu Jingze nodded and glanced at her meaningfully before walking over to her. He reached his hand out to tuck her into the blanket and positioned her exposed leg properly.

n“I’ll call someone to look after you. You move too much when you sleep. Make sure not to touch your wound,” he said.

nLin Che said in surprise, “When did I move in my sleep?”

nWhat happened last night came to Gu Jingze’s mind. He snorted to her and said, “You say you didn’t move when you nearly flew to heaven. In any case, be a little more careful. Don’t be so restless. If it starts to bleed again, your leg will be good for nothing.”

n“Okay, stop nagging. Quick, go look for Miss Mo. Doesn’t she have some urgent matter?”

nAfter thinking, Gu Jingze agreed with what she had said. He nodded his head and went out.

nHe reached Mo Huiling’s house after driving for only half an hour.

nMo Huiling’s room was like a princess’s room. She lay swaddled in her blanket as she listened to the noises outside.

nWhen she vaguely heard the sound of a car, she quickly looked at her clothes.

nGu Jingze walked in very soon after only to see Mo Huiling lying on the bed with half of her body exposed. Although she said she was ill, there was actually still make-up on her face while she laid in bed. Under the blanket, her silk night clothing covered her only slightly. She cast soft glances at him—ones that were as soft as silk—making her look extremely enchanting.

nGu Jingze blanked out. He looked at her as she lay there and softly hummed. She said, “Jingze if you didn’t come quickly, you wouldn’t have been able to see me anymore.”

nGu Jingze walked over hurriedly. “How did you fall ill when you were completely fine?”

nWith the knowledge that he was coming, Mo Huiling had especially gotten someone to tidy up the room. She sprayed on a fresh-smelling perfume and also personally selected a sexy nightgown. Her freshly-bathed body carried some tenderness and loveliness with it. She looked at him gently and said grudgingly, “I don’t know. I only know that on the day you didn’t come, I cried the whole night. After that, I couldn’t eat anything too. I called numerous doctors to come over, but all of them didn’t know what was wrong. I thought I was dying.”

nHow was she about to die?

nLin Che was the one who almost died.

nGu Jingze could not help but think of Lin Che. As he looked at Mo Huiling, he was slightly angry. “Huiling, I didn’t go to your birthday party that day because something cropped up suddenly on my end. I really could not leave. Furthermore, it was a matter of life and death. I had no time to spare on other matters which includes this very instance of you suddenly calling for me to come. I really shouldn’t have come at all. It’s only because you said you’re ill.”

nHow was she really ill?

nHe felt that Mo Huiling was truly too thoughtless this time.

nMo Huiling took a glance; Gu Jingze was actually really angry.

nIn the past, he could never even bear to say a single heavy-handed word to her.

nShe did not feel that this had anything to do with Lin Che either. Her eyes darted around as she figured that the matter he had to deal with must have been a very serious matter, which was why he was this angry.

nShe burst out crying immediately. With tears running down her face, she quickly said to him, “Jingze, I had no idea if something had happened to you. I was just too worried about you. I love you too much. That’s why I was also very upset. You could have told me if something was up. However, you aren’t even aware that I cried the entire night that day. I kept calling your number, but none of my calls got through.”

nHe watched as Mo Huiling started crying sadly. Her words were indeed moving and Gu Jingze’s heart softened. He lowered his voice and said to her, “Alright, sorry Huiling. I spoke too severely because I was too anxious. It was I who didn’t handle things properly that day and made you worry.”

nMo Huiling was still crying relentlessly.

nGu Jingze could only pat her shoulder. “Alright, Huiling. I truly apologize.”

nUpon hearing his sincere apology, Mo Huiling thought to herself, As expected, he still could not bear for her to cry.

nShe bit her bottom lip and said wretchedly, “As long as you know.”
