After Gu Chen changed her dressing, he got up and touched her head. His voice was gentle. “You should rest.”
He did not say much else. When he walked to the door with the first aid kit, he was still worried, so he turned around and said, ‘Good night.”
After a while, he heard Lu Nings soft voice. “Good night.”
Only then did he feel relieved. After dimming the lights for her, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Lu Ning lay there, her eyes slightly teary as she gently shut her eyelids.
The next day was Sat.u.r.day; Lu Ning woke up early in the morning.
She had been lying in the same position for the entire night, and half of her body was numb.
She slowly got up and moved around.
“Boss…” Someone in charge of morning cleaning immediately greeted Lu Ning. He seemed to realize something and quickly changed his words. “Miss, you’re awake.’
This courtyard was all used by their own people.
Lu Ning nodded slightly, adjusted her clothes, and went to sit in the pavilion.
After she sat there for a while, someone brought over a cup of hot tea. “Miss, isn’t it cold here?”
Lu Ning looked up at her and smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll sit here for a while before going back.” Then, she looked at the teacup on the table. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.’
She did not say anything else and quietly left.
However, Lu Ning sat there for a long time. When Gu Chen woke up and came out, he saw Lu Ning sitting in the pavilion.
He could not help but frown slightly as he walked over.
“Why are you sitting here?”
Lu Ning looked up and spotted him. “l want to clear my head a little.”
Gu Chen took a deep breath; he was a little angry.
However, he still tried his best not to flare up at her.
“It’s too cold. Let’s go inside.”
“I’d like to sit a little longer. It’s not that cold.”
“Lu Ning!’
Gu Chen suddenly yelled. His voice was a little loud, and everyone looked over.
Lu Ning was taken aback as she looked at him.
“You’re still injured, can’t you listen to me a little?!”
Lu Ning looked at him and was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was very soft as she muttered pitifully. “Am 1 being bad?”
Gu Chen’s heart softened in an instant. He walked over and helped her up, while comforting her softly, “Good girl, you’re a good girl. Come, let’s go back and have breakfast.’
Lu Ning did not resist and allowed him to help her back into the building.
The room was very warm. Lu Ning sat on the sofa for a while, and Gu Chen brought her a hot towel to wipe her hands and face, “Feeling better? Are you still cold?”
Lu Ning shook her head. “It’s not cold anymore.”
Gu Chen sat beside her and looked at her. “What was it about? Huo Jinyan?”
Lu Ning turned to look at him in confusion. “Huh?”
From the looks of it, it did not seem to be the case.
Gu Chen changed his angle. “You said you wanted to clear your head. What’s wrong? What’s troubling you?”
Lu Ning retracted her gaze and looked at the towel in her hand. She gently folded the towel into a square.
“Nothing happened. I just can’t figure something out.”
“What can’t you figure out?”
Lu Ning did not say anything else.
Gu Chen looked at her and said, “Family matters?”
Gu Chen asked right on the heels of that, “Is it because of that brother of yours?”
Lu Ning suddenly peered up at him, and this gave Gu Chen the confirmation. Indeed, it certainly looks like it’s because of Lu Qing.
Other than Lu Qing who always gave Lu Ning the cold shoulder, no one else in their family treated Lu Ning like this. It was no wonder that Gu Chen would think of him first.
Gu Chen looked at Lu Ning, and figured that it must have been the video Gu Zi sent her.
Gu Zi had also sent him a copy of the video, telling him to pay attention to Lu Nings emotions.
Lu Ning could not understand why Lu Qing would keep defending a person
like her..
