Chapter 140 - 140 Brought Back
140 Brought Back
Su Binglan stood rooted and listened to the words in her mind. It was as if she was experiencing a movie.
The scene in her mind took place during autumn, and a ten-year-old girl in a wheelchair wearing a thick cloak was talking to her subordinates. She even coughed from time to time as she spoke. It was a heart-wrenching scene.
Was that Princess Lan? Su Binglan could not see the little girl’s face, but why did she think it was her? She felt that time had gone in reverse when she looked at the scene in her mind.
Su Binglan scanned the newly built Blue Mountain Academy in her mind and thought it was lively. Many people were around discussing something.
“Why would Princess Lan want to build such a vast academy in a remote place like this?”
“Who knows? She has her reasons as usual. Her intelligence and abilities are not something ordinary people can comprehend.”
“Yes, but it’s just that Princess Lan’s body is weak. We must also consider King Ding, Princess Lan’s twin brother. I heard they won’t even live past eighteen.”
“No matter how talented King Ding and Princess Lan are, we won’t be able to defend King Ding’s mansion without them.”
…
The voices rang in Su Binglan’s ears, and she felt a headache coming on when the scene in her mind changed.
A young man appeared before Princess Lan, and he walked behind her wheelchair to push her forward. The two seemed to be talking about something.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Su Binglan woke up in a room and realized her husband was sitting beside her. Luo Jin’an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife had finally woken up. Then he said, “You’re awake!”
Su Binglan was puzzled. “Was I asleep? B-But wasn’t I walking around in the courtyard?”
Luo Jin’an looked deeply at his wife and said with a thoughtful look, “You were asleep on a stone bench in the courtyard when I found you, so I brought you back inside.”
At that moment, Lin came in with a tray and said, “Miss, it was your husband who carried you here.”
‘H-He carried me?’ Su Binglan was embarra.s.sed when she imagined her husband carrying her. Still, she was at the academy, so how could she suddenly fall asleep?
She recalled her purpose for visiting and asked, “Have you met the princ.i.p.al?”
Luo Jin’an replied, “Yes. Xuexuan and Xuehai can come here tomorrow.”
“R-Really? That’s great! So, what about you?”
Su Binglan wanted to tell the princ.i.p.al about her husband, but she did not expect to fall asleep. However, since Luo Jin’an had met the princ.i.p.al, it was inappropriate for her to discuss it.
Lin hurriedly said, “Mr. Kong said that anyone can attend this school if you want them to.”
Su Binglan was thrilled as she instinctively held her husband’s hand and said, “S-So, you can study here too?”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife’s happy expression and said softly, “You want me to study here?”
Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yeah, I think you should study here. Besides, you can accompany Xuexuan and Xuehai since they’re still children. Then Yinyin and Wenzhe will feel more at ease too.”
She thought that business did not match Luo Jin’an’s temperament. Also, he was not in good health, so it was not suitable for him to do hard labor.
Luo Jin’an did not like to stay idle, so Su Binglan thought he might as well spend his time studying at the academy. That way, he would not tire himself out too much.
Luo Jin’an said, “Okay.”
Su Binglan was a little skeptical when she heard her husband’s response. “Hmm? Why did you suddenly agree?”
She had prepared plenty of excuses to persuade Luo Jin’an but did not need them in the end.
