Chapter 962: Chapter 959:

Gu Xiaoning suddenly looked up, the plate in her hand falling to the ground, her expression stunned, "Young Master Ling..."

This is not appropriate!

Gu Xiaoning was embarrassed and annoyed, she hadn’t expected Ling Yu to do this! Her instinctive reaction was to push him away, "Young Master Ling, let go!"

"Shh!" Ling Yu hugged her tightly, a pleading look in his eyes, "Don’t move! Please."

"..." Gu Xiaoning froze, what did he mean by that?

Ling Yu lowered his head, whispering in her ear, "Everyone’s watching me! You’re the only one I can trust, my wound, it seems like it’s torn open."

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning was shocked, instinctively grabbing his collar, "What should we do? It needs immediate attention!"

"Yes." Ling Yu frowned, "But, we need a good excuse."

Gu Xiaoning didn’t understand, "What’s going on? Aren’t you the young master of the Ling Family? The one in control? Why does it seem everyone is unfriendly to you?"

"Tsk." Ling Yu laughed, "So many questions, like a curious baby."

"..." Gu Xiaoning stared blankly, does he really have the mood to joke with her right now?

Ling Yu’s head drooped, resting in her neck crook.

Gu Xiaoning’s body shook, becoming rigid. Uneasy, she muttered, "Young Master Ling?"

"Don’t be nervous." Ling Yu said softly, "I won’t go any further, just let me lean on you like this. Okay?"

Hearing the helplessness in his voice, Gu Xiaoning, although uncomfortable, couldn’t bear to push him away.

This person, seeming so high and mighty, yet surrounded by people with ill intentions, all watching him like hawks.

"Ugh." Ling Yu groaned, probably from the severe pain of his abdominal wound.

Gu Xiaoning was terrified, "What should we do?"

Ling Yu held her, "Sorry, I can only hold you like this, I can’t let them know I’m injured."

"..." Gu Xiaoning nodded numbly, "Oh. But, let’s go back to the room? Hmm? It needs to be treated!"

The current weather, not wearing much.

With the two of them hugging, Gu Xiaoning could even feel the warm blood seeping from his wound, dampening.

"Alright." Ling Yu smiled slightly, lifting Gu Xiaoning up horizontally.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning exclaimed lightly, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

This way, Gu Xiaoning was horizontal in front of Ling Yu, perfectly covering his wound, avoiding suspicion from others.

"Oh!"

Seeing them like that, someone immediately teased, "Young Master Ling, is this... a good interest?"

Ling Yu smiled, "This little thing is a bit naughty, sorry to leave!"

"Haha..."

"Young Master Ling, women need to be pampered, don’t be too stern!"

Ling Yu gently smiled, carrying Gu Xiaoning towards the main building.

Le Zhengsheng clenched his fist, tilting his neck back, draining the wine in his hand.

He felt he was about to explode from anger!

Cui Ruoya saw it clearly, adding fuel to the fire, "Ah Sheng, I guess I was right, huh? This girl has an unusual relationship with Young Master Ling, maybe she’s his girlfriend? They seem quite a match. Young Master Ling is of marrying age."

Quite a match?

To hell with a match! Le Zhengsheng was so angry his chest hurt, does Ling Yu know Gu Xiaoning has been married before? If he knows, can he still fancy her?

But, back then, that Su Hang accepted Gu Xiaoning even while she was pregnant!

The more he thought, the more stifling it became, what’s wrong with him? What’s he thinking? Even he couldn’t figure it out!

...

"Young Master Ling, wait a moment."

In the room, Ling Yu put Gu Xiaoning down, and she immediately went to get the medical kit.

Ling Yu looked unwell, nodding.

Gu Xiaoning entered the dressing room, when picking up the medical kit, she noticed rows of plane models in the small cabinet... Hmm? What was this for?

Carrying the medical kit out, Ling Yu had already removed his clothes, working on the bandages.

"Let me." Gu Xiaoning stepped forward, kneeling in front of Ling Yu.

Ling Yu looked at her, smiling, "Do you have something you want to ask me?"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning was taken aback, "How did you see through that?"

"Tsk." Ling Yu laughed, "How old are you? Just a kid, too pure-hearted, go ahead and ask!"

"Hmm." Gu Xiaoning thought a bit, then asked, "Young Master Ling, what did you do before? I mean, before you inherited the family business, what was your profession?"

Ling Yu paused, "Why do you ask that?"

"Hmm..." Gu Xiaoning tilted her head, "I just feel, you’re different from the Ling Family elders I heard about. Ling Family seems to have quite a complex background, but you’re not like a complicated person."

Ling Yu’s smile deepened, "I’m not complicated? Because I don’t have tattoos, big gold chains, no scars on my face?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning froze, but still nodded, "Yes."

"Haha!" Ling Yu laughed heartily, his chest slightly trembling, "You really are adorable. I’ll tell you, judging a person like that isn’t safe."

He changed his tone, "But, your feeling is quite accurate. I used to... be a pilot, flying planes."

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning was greatly surprised, so, that’s why there were so many airplane models in the cabinet? Yes, that must be it.

Ling Yu lowered his voice, continuing, "I flew fighter jets!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was even more shocked. A fighter jet pilot now coming to inherit such a complex family business?

Ling Yu’s expression turned desolate, tugging at his lips, "Ridiculous, isn’t it? Satirical, right? But, this is reality. My father made me fail a mission to force me back home to inherit the business."

Gu Xiaoning remained silent, not knowing what to say, so it was like this.

Ling Yu’s jaw tightened, "I have no way out now, I can only take over the Ling Family."

Though he said so, Gu Xiaoning could see he was unwilling; inheriting the family business wasn’t what he wanted.

...

Guan Chao.

Le Zhengsheng went to drink with Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan poured him wine but did not drink himself.

"Tsk!" Le Zhengsheng frowned, annoyed at him, "Do you have guts or not? Dare to drink?"

"Guts?" Lu Jinxuan shook his head, "In front of my wife, I lack that."

"The dignified president has such little courage?" Le Zhengsheng rolled his eyes, "Useless!"

Lu Jinxuan chuckled, "You’ve got courage, you’ve got guts, but why are you drinking like a bear? Isn’t it just because Gu Xiaoning came back? If you want her, is there no way?"

Le Zhengsheng was startled, it was his first time having someone openly state his thoughts!

"I..." Le Zhengsheng was a bit dazed, "Can I still have her?"

"Why not?" Lu Jinxuan crossed his arms, "Are you disgusted by the fact she made mistakes and was with other men?"

Le Zhengsheng remained silent, to say he didn’t mind was a lie! She had hurt him so much back then!

Lu Jinxuan sighed, "Well, then think about this, if she ends up with someone else one day, can you bear that again?"

Le Zhengsheng froze, chest aching. He couldn’t take it! He couldn’t take it anymore! Just thinking about Gu Xiaoning being carried away by Ling Yu today made him feel he was going crazy! Since Gu Xiaoning came back, if she wants a man, then why can’t that man be him?
