Chapter 910: A Strange Mysterious Person
Ling Sheng looked at the man sitting beside her arrogantly and had driven the Third Master to the front pa.s.senger seat. She beamed at him and asked, “Father, didn’t you say you wouldn’t go?”
Huo Ci said, “Can’t I go home?!”
Ling Sheng thought to herself, Fine, you can go anywhere. However… “Father, Huo Xuanzhou is injured. If you come with us, how are Grandpa and Grandma going back later?”
“He doesn’t even have a graze, yet he still has the cheek to say he’s injured,” Huo Ci let out a snort.
Ling Sheng shut her mouth obediently and sent a meaningful look to Jun Shiyan before shaking her head helplessly.
Fine! You’re the father. Everything you say is right. However, if you’re so difficult, how are you going to woo your wife in the future?
Huo Ci did not speak or play any games on the road. He just leaned against the car seat and read his script. She did not know what kind of script it was, but judging from his expression, the script should be quite good. He did not get distracted even when she looked over at him.
Xiaoqi was afraid of disturbing Grandpa, so he put on his earphones and watched cartoons.
Ling Sheng was a little uncomfortable. Her period had come early, and her stomach hurt a little. She hugged the hot water bottle Jun Shiyan had given her, covered herself with a thin blanket, curled into a ball, and closed her eyes in the car.
It was very quiet in the car. She could even tell which was her father’s breathing, which was her son’s breathing, and which was the Third Master’s breathing.
The car was very warm, and the water bottle in her arms was also warm. However, her body was as cold as ice.
She was now sure that something would go wrong if she got close to the water. Including the last time, this had already happened three times. For the first two times, she had still been able to comfort herself by saying that it was a coincidence. Now, she could not deceive herself anymore.
She tightened her grip on the water bag in her arms, and her body slowly stiffened. Fear filled her heart bit by bit.
She did not know what would happen to her if she really left. She also did not know if she would suddenly disappear some time in the future.
If she was gone, would she die? Or would she end up like in that world, lying in bed and becoming a person in a vegetative state?
Jun Shiyan could clearly feel the young lady’s abnormality. Through the rearview mirror, he could see her tense body trembling slightly, and her long eyelashes were also trembling. He looked at An Yan and ordered in a low voice, “Raise the temperature.”
Huo Ci was beside her, so he could not move over to sit with her either. Even though he was worried and his heart ached, he could only watch. However, when he saw the young lady’s state, for a moment, he felt that she was afraid.
“Sheng Sheng.” Jun Shiyan took a thermometer and turned around to hand it to her. “Check your temperature. Do you have a fever? Do you feel very cold?”
“No, I’m just not feeling well. You know that girls have a few special days every month.” Ling Sheng shook her head and smiled at him, wanting to rea.s.sure him. However, she did not know that her forced smile made him even more worried.
Jun Shiyan pa.s.sed his coat over to her as well and let her put it on. He kept feeling that after she had woken up, there was a load on her mind, as though she was hiding something from him. A very important matter.
Huo Ci had also realized that she had been a little strange ever since she had woken up after falling into the water. It was even more suspicious that she was trying her best to pretend that nothing had happened.
Xiaoqi touched her hand and frowned. He stood up nervously and pressed his forehead against hers to test the temperature. “Mommy, you don’t have a fever. But why are you so cold?”
Ling Sheng smiled and pinched her son’s face. “Isn’t it nice that Mommy feels cold? You can hug Mommy to sleep in the summer and you don’t even need to turn on the air conditioner. It saves electricity.”
Was she that obvious? Why was everyone staring at her?
When they reached the hospital, Huo Ci said that he would not alight and told them to come back quickly. If they wasted any more time, the sky would turn dark.
Ling Sheng was worried, but she did not want to meet the Old Master of the Nangong Family either. She looked at the man carrying Xiaoqi beside her. “Third Master, do you think he’s around?”
“Don’t worry, he won’t make things difficult for you.” Jun Shiyan held her small hand with his big hand and asked gently, “Why are you so distracted? What are you thinking about?”
Ling Sheng lied, “I’m worried about my mother.”
Jun Shiyan still felt that she was hiding something and had not told him the truth. He remembered that when they had returned to her hometown, she had said that she had something to tell him. In the end, she had not said anything because of an unexpected event. Was it about that matter?
Nangong Lengyu had not expected Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan to suddenly visit her. They did not inform her beforehand either. “Sheng Sheng, why are you guys here?”
How did they know? She had specifically reminded Ah Mo not to tell them, fearing that they would worry.
“Mom, how do you feel?” Upon seeing her pale face and greyish-white lips, Ling Sheng ran over worriedly.
Thankfully, that Old Master of the Nangong Family was not around, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’m fine now,” Nangong Lengyu smiled and tugged at her hand. “Did your uncle tell you?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. “Where did Uncle go?”
“Their film crew has already started working but he was held up because of me. He’s working outside now. He’s afraid of disturbing me, so he went out.” Nangong Lengyu was also helpless when it came to that workaholic. “I told him to leave, but he wouldn’t.”
Ling Sheng actually wanted to ask where Old Master Nangong was, but she did not ask in the end. She swallowed her question. Her mother definitely did not want to see him and had not let him come.
Upon seeing her darting glances everywhere and worried expression, Nangong Lengyu smiled and patted her hand. “Don’t worry, he’s not here.”
She had chased him away. She could not see him now. As soon as she saw him, her stomach would start cramping. The doctor had said it was a stress reaction, so he did not dare come over either.
“I didn’t say anything,” Ling Sheng muttered nervously and gave her a careful look. Was she that obvious?
Although she did not like the Old Master of the Nangong Family, he was her mother’s biological father after all. Would her obvious behavior make her sad?
“It’s already written on your face,” Nangong Lengyu sighed deeply and looked at her seriously. “Sheng Sheng, you don’t have to force yourself to accept him because of me.”
She knew that her daughter was kind by nature, but she did not want Ling Sheng to force herself to accept someone she did not like because of her, even if that person was her mother’s father.
She could not forgive him for his actions herself, so how could she force her to forgive him and reconcile with him?
Nangong Lengyu’s ward was a VIP ward on the first floor. There was a garden behind the window, and the bushes were quite deep, the kind that could hide people.
Not far away, a strange figure completely bundled up walked over sneakily. He went up to the side of the window and looked in.
However, the curtains had been drawn. He had to find the right angle to see what was going on inside. He shifted left and right and finally found the best position.
In less than two minutes after he found the right spot, another strange mysterious person appeared behind him. He was also wearing black clothes from head to toe, a hat, and a mask. He was covered up completely. When he saw a strange figure sprawling in front of the window, he picked up a stick in pa.s.sing and dashed over.
