Chapter Summary
"You wrote about the process of making that potion until the early hours of the morning yesterday. Do you know where the man was when you were writing about the potion?" Gu Weimian pursed his lips tightly. For a few seconds, she did not ask where the man was, and said calmly, "The potion is almost gone, I will be more careful this time..." Ning Quruo looked at Gu Weiman.
"You wrote about the process of making that potion until the early hours of the morning yesterday. Do you know where the man was when you were writing about the potion?"
Gu Weimian pursed his lips tightly.
For a few seconds, she did not ask where the man was, and said calmly, "The potion is almost gone, I will be more careful this time..."
Ning Quruo looked at Gu Weiman.
He was so angry that his heart was in a knot.
I was so angry that I wanted to spank Gu Weimian hard!
The fingers clenched.
His fists were shaking, but in the end he didn't take action. Instead, he lowered his head and called the man.
Press Handsfree.
This time, the call was answered smoothly.
"Hello." Huo Yan's low voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Weimian frowned the first moment and raised his hand as if to take the phone from Ning Quruo.
But Ning Quruo held the phone high.
"Huo Yan, didn't you say you had a meeting yesterday?"
"Um."
"Then why can't I find your people in Shengshi's company? Several ministers are here, but why is their president not here?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Ning Quruo's face was filled with the deepest coldness. "Tell me, where were you yesterday? Was it suitable for you to be with Ning Yuetong?"
The ward was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear the man's shallow breathing on the other end of the phone.
When Ning Quruo asked that question, the man's breathing stopped for a moment.
Gu Weimian already had the answer in his heart.
She reached out to take Ning Quruo's cell phone.
It's so embarrassing to interrogate like this.
It wasn’t Huo Yan who was in trouble...it was her.
A woman has reached the point where she needs to call and ask her man where he was on the day she was given emergency treatment.
Is there anything more tragic than this?
She... doesn't need this kind of pathos!
Ning Quruo pushed aside Gu Weimian's hand that was reaching out to grab the phone.
"Are you afraid to listen?"
Gu Weimian pursed his lips tightly, then loosened them after a moment and sighed slightly.
“We don’t have that position.”
What right do they have to question?
She lowered her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and smiled faintly.
"They have already...made it very clear."
Please stop embarrassing her like this.
Although he has trained himself to be strong as a sword, he seems to be able to endure all the sufferings in this world with gritted teeth.
But... I still feel embarrassed.
In front of the person I finally fell in love with.
Without love...at least there is still some self-respect left.
On the other end of the phone, the man's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.
There was a moment of confusion in my breathing.
Is it very clear...?
The man smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the case."
All the words were stuck in my throat.
The call was suddenly hung up.
In the dark room, Lin Zhiyun could only see Huo Yan lowering his head stiffly and watching the phone screen in front of him go dark.
Then I couldn't see the man's expression at all.
The darkness opened its ferocious mouth and swallowed them in one gulp.
…
Ning Quruo put down his phone and looked at Gu Weiman without blinking.
He dialed Huo Yan's number without knowing anything.
I hate that you haven’t fallen asleep yet.
Hate that she likes Huo Yan.
But at this moment...
Looking at Gu Weimian sitting motionless on the bed with his eyes downcast, his heart tightened.
I don't want to see her get hurt.
But... I felt a little bit of despicable relief.
"sister."
Gu Weimian raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Quruo.
I haven't heard a man call me sister for so many days.
This seems to be the first time.
"What's the matter?"
