Chapter 698



698 I promise you, it’s just two months_1

Ning Qing instantly felt like she was in an ice cellar.

Ruan Yi raised her chin, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust. Upon closer inspection, there was also a trace of disappointment.

“He became like this because of you, and you don’t even have the heart to be grateful.”

“Ruan Yi, it’s not what you think, Zhenzhen.” Ning Qing’s mind went blank.

“What I want is exactly what I see.” Ruan Yi’s face turned cold. you don’t have to explain. I trust my eyes and ears. And don’t tell me that you’re not repaying me for saving your life because you’re avoiding me.

“……”

She sized her up from head to toe. from what I see, you might not be worth it.

Ruan Yi turned around and left after throwing out these random words.

Ning Qing stood there for a long time, and she only came back to her senses when uncle Wu came up to greet her.

She returned to her room dejectedly. In her mind, Nian lie and Ruan Yi’s words overlapped.

“……”

She sat in front of the table for a long time, so long that when she picked up her phone, her hand was so stiff that it almost couldn’t move.

She awkwardly dialed a certain number. After a few rings, the man’s low voice sounded-

“Are you done thinking?”

“I promise you. Just two months,” ning Qing replied with some difficulty as she took a deep breath.

“……”

There was no movement from the other side.

Ning Qing immediately hung up before she regretted it.

Then, she stared at the empty room, her eyes filled with bitterness.

In the hospital ward.

Nian lie stared at the phone and didn’t move for a long time.

Ruan Yi was holding the tablet. The man had clearly heard the call, but he didn’t respond at all.

She looked up from the computer. hung up? ”

The light in Nian lie’s eyes gradually cleared. He hummed in agreement and placed his phone on the table beside him.

Ruan Yi tried to read his facial expression, but she couldn’t read his mind. did she agree? ” she asked directly.

Nian lie’s furrowed brows finally relaxed. His entire face softened, and there was an indescribable sense of joy.

Ruan Yi shuddered a little. that’s enough. I know she agreed. This is just the first step. She didn’t say anything. What’s there to be happy about? ”

By the end of her sentence, her voice was already as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

That was because Nian lie’s gaze was truly not very friendly.

She thought of something and said, ” by the way, you can take care of her, but don’t disturb her during the competition. I still want to compete with her. Don’t get in our way.

Nian lie narrowed his eyes. He was back to his condescending attitude. you? ”

Ruan Yi put down her tablet. what do you mean? what’s wrong with me? am I not qualified to challenge your sweetheart? ”

Nian lie didn’t say that he didn’t. He lay down. Although his legs were still dangling, it didn’t hinder his fierceness.

“We’ll talk about it after this round.”

Ruan Yi,”Zhenzhen.”

She held the tablet tightly and glared at the man.

Just you wait, I’ll make you look at me in a different light!

—

The next morning, ning Qing asked the craftsman about the progress of the work. She was about to go to the hospital when uncle Wu saw her.

“Are you going out?” uncle Wu asked casually. Where are you going?”

Ning Qing did not hide anything. uncle Wu, I’m going to the hospital.

The meaning of his words was self-evident.

Uncle Wu nodded with a wise look in his eyes. why didn’t you wait for Mr. Gu to go with you? ”

Ning Qing was at a loss for words. She said casually, ” he’s still resting. I don’t want to disturb him. this had unknowingly pulled the relationship between the two further apart.

Uncle Wu had nothing to say and sent someone to send her to the hospital.

Ning Qing thanked him and left for the hospital.

In the courtyard, the old man looked up in the direction of a certain room. In front of the old wooden fence, the man who had just come out of the room was standing.

“……”

Gu nanzhi touched her messy golden hair and met the old man’s calm gaze.

He raised the corner of his lips and smiled politely.

Uncle Wu nodded at him, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the figure who was walking out of the door in the distance, and his smile gradually faded.

A pair of deep blue eyes that were tempered with fine frost.
