Gu Qingluan smiled and ruffled his hair, “Alright, Yuanxi, you can also help.”
They had just reached the doorway when they encountered Feng Tianlan returning.
Gu Qingluan was momentarily stunned.
Feng Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Where are you all planning to go?”
Gu Qingluan snapped back to her senses and replied, “We’re going outside to see. We heard that the epidemic has erupted severely, and the situation is very dire.”
“No need to go. It will improve by tomorrow.”
Gu Qingluan was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“I found the antidote. With the antidote, the epidemic will be controlled, and the wedding can proceed as planned tomorrow.”
Gu Qingluan was extremely surprised, “Where did you find the antidote? Where is it? Let me see!”
Feng Tianlan briefly recounted the process to her. After they had rescued all the patients at the Salvation Hall, someone had surrept.i.tiously infiltrated and tried to spy on them with their divine sense. He had discovered this and left a mark on the person’s soul. He then went to find that person and obtained the antidote from them.
Though he spoke of it casually, Gu Qingluan knew that it wasn’t as easy as he made it sound.
What made her furious was that the epidemic wasn’t a natural disaster; it was man-made.
So many people had suffered and died for the sake of personal gain, and it was an act of unimaginable cruelty.
Fortunately, Feng Tianlan had dealt with the responsible party.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi were equally filled with anger, unable to comprehend how there could be such wicked people in the world, treating human lives as expendable for the sake of their selfish desires and poisoning an entire city.
Gu Qingluan gently patted their heads to comfort them.
“I’ve given the antidote to the Crown Prince. He had the court physician verify it, and there are no issues. They are currently preparing a large batch of it. After everyone takes the antidote, they will naturally recover.”
Feng Tianlan gazed deeply at her, “Now, shall we return to the Jun Residence?”
Gu Qingluan hesitated for a moment, considering what to say.
He arranged everything so clearly, and if she refused again, it might give him the wrong impression.
However, could everything really return to normal in just one night?
Gu Qingluan still felt like it was all too surreal.
Could the ferocious epidemic be ending so quickly?
“Do you not want to marry me?”
Seeing her hesitation, Feng Tianlan’s eyes dimmed slightly, showing a trace of displeasure.
Gu Xiaonan immediately watched him vigilantly. If he dared to harm his mother, he would not stand idly by!
“Of course not. Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word.” Gu Qingluan read the nervousness and concern in his eyes. She softened her heart and let go of her doubts. She raised her lips slightly and said, “If you’re not afraid of having few guests at the banquet tomorrow, then go ahead with the wedding as planned.”
Feng Tianlan’s eyes gradually softened, like the snow in early spring, slowly melting under the sunlight.
He smiled faintly. “I’m just afraid there won’t be enough s.p.a.ce.”
As he spoke, he reached out to take Gu Qingluan’s hand.
“Wait a minute! Before the wedding, the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other. Daddy, you’ve already made an exception, you can’t hold Mother’s hand again.”
Gu Xiaonan tugged on Gu Qingluan’s hand and tried to pull her back.
Feng Tianlan lowered his head to look at Gu Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan stood in front of Gu Qingluan, fearlessly locking eyes with him.
Worried that father and son might end up in a fight, Gu Qingluan cleared her throat lightly, “Xiaonan is right. How about this, I’ll go back to our residence with them first, and you can return to your own residence.”
Feng Tianlan cast a deep gaze at Gu Xiaonan. “Very well, we’ve waited for so many days, a few more hours won’t hurt.”
Gu Xiaonan felt that his dad was provoking him!
Hmph, even if they become a couple, he’s still his mother’s most beloved son. In her eyes, his position must be ahead of his daddy’s!
Feng Tianlan glanced at Jing Feng, who was standing behind, and said, “Let Jing Feng escort you back.”
Gu Qingluan nodded.
Suddenly, Feng Tianlan got closer, his face almost touching Gu Qingluan’s, their breaths intertwining. “Don’t run around anymore, my bride..”
