Just as Song Fan was pondering recent events, Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes and asked, “Is that you, Song Fan?”
Due to the intense pain he had experienced earlier, his vision had temporarily darkened, leaving him unable to see anything. However, upon detecting the familiar scent of jasmine, he immediately recognized that Song Fan was by his side.
Song Fan sensed that something was amiss. She reached out to check his eyes, but there was no response at all.
She took his pulse and reassured him, “It’s nothing serious. The medicine you took earlier affected your optic nerve temporarily. You’ll recover once I administer the antidote.”
Gu Chen gripped her hand and inquired, “Is my condition worsening?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith only a short time left before he turned 25, the doctors had predicted that he wouldn’t survive past that age. He hadn’t experienced any severe symptoms, but today, he felt the agony of being worse than death.
He even thought that when he reached 25, it wouldn’t be the illness that took him away, but the torment would be so unbearable that he would end his own life.
Song Fan held his hand and assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll cure you. I never make false promises.”
After saying that, she interlocked her pinky finger with Gu Chen’s in a childish pinky swear, signifying her commitment.
It had been a long time since Gu Chen had made a promise in such a playful manner. He wanted to laugh but was unable to express it. With his mind numbed and incapable of displaying emotions, he still wished to convey his gratitude to Song Fan.
Upon realizing this, he reached out and pulled Song Fan closer. She refrained from resisting and fell into his embrace.
Gu Chen held her gently, saying softly, “You’re like an angel who saved me from everything.”
To outsiders, this remark might appear as a flirtation. But Song Fan detected the sincerity in his tone. She patted his shoulder and replied, “I understand.” However, Gu Chen had no intention of letting her go. The two of them lay quietly on the bed, unconcerned about the passage of time.
When Su Yang entered with a bowl of medicine, he happened to witness this scene. He managed to control himself and cleared his throat, saying, “Miss Song, the medicine is ready.”
Song Fan sat up, accepted the bowl, and retrieved an antidote pill from her necklace, which she placed in the bowl. “Take this.”
Gu Chen extended his hand to signal his inability to see. Song Fan positioned the bowl near his mouth, expecting him to drink it on his own.
However, Gu Chen didn’t think likewise. He drank it directly, and Song Fan found herself holding the bowl, helping him drink the concoction.
Su Yang, watching from a short distance, couldn’t contain his emotions. Witnessing his young master acting affectionately with a woman was an unprecedented occurrence.
He yearned to share this revelation with Xu Yuan and the others but decided to wait until his young master had fully recovered. He knew he needed to be patient.
Once Gu Chen had finished drinking the medicine, Song Fan had him lie down. She continued to use golden needles to stimulate his acupuncture points, which facilitated better absorption of the medication.
While applying the acupuncture, she inquired, “What do you think your second uncle is plotting? He keeps trying to send women to you and is even willing to use such costly medicine.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Chen was equally perplexed. Given their family’s stature, having a lover wasn’t unusual, especially when he wasn’t married. Even if he had a partner, it didn’t warrant such public condemnation.
So why was Gu Hai expending so much effort just to create trouble?
Song Fan pondered for a moment and came to a realization. “Could it be that your second uncle believes that we’re getting married soon?”
Gu Chen mulled it over. “That’s quite possible.”
The two of them had almost forgotten about this rumor as time passed. But in Gu Hails eyes, it was a very likely scenario.
Previously, he had asked Gu Zhuo to court Song Yin to resolve the matter. However, Song Yin rarely left the house, and the progress was slow. This left him feeling anxious.
Therefore, he chose to utilize this strategy to rupture their relationship. He believed that once a woman was involved, Gu Chen and Song Fan would surely have a disagreement, and he could further intervene to separate them.
If that occurred, Gu Chen would lose the support of the Song Family and likely be abandoned by numerous shareholders. This would provide an opportunity for Gu Hai to propose a new chairman.
Unfortunately, the plan didn’t succeed. Gu Chen’s self-discipline was more remarkable than he had anticipated. Even the most expensive knockout drug couldn’t keep him around.
Gu Hai, seated with a wine glass at home, sighed as he reflected on another missed opportunity. He regretted not having forcibly detained Gu Chen and ensuring the matter was resolved, no matter what..
