Ji Wuchang: “…” Kids these days… are so difficult to deal with!
When Ji Wuchang was at a loss for words, Gu Ning pressed her lips together and asked one last question. “According to you, if you’re really my master, why didn’t you care about me before?” After her mother passed away, no matter whether she cried or was in pain, no one cared about her. A year after her mother passed away, she learned to read people’s faces and tried her best to be likable, but she still didn’t see any love on her grandparents’ faces. She would even get secretly beaten by the stepmother that her father married. No one helped her, and no one cared about her.
Ji Wuchang was stunned. He suddenly felt a little upset, but he did not explain anything. Instead, he said, “Master will protect you in the future.”
Gu Ning pursed her lips. She pulled up her blanket and stopped talking. Ji Wuchang walked up to her and stroked her head. “Have a good rest. I’ll come back later. Take this as a gift from me.” He came in a hurry, and there were still some things in the Underworld that he needed to take care of, so he had to leave first.
She felt a slight heat on her wrist, and a red string suddenly appeared on her wrist. She didn’t know how long it had been, but there was no sound in the ward. She opened her eyes and looked around, but still couldn’t see anything. However, she vaguely felt that the person seemed to have left… The red sting on her wrist was still there, and it seemed to emit a warm aura, which even lessened some of the discomfort on her body.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. The injuries on Gu Ning’s body were almost healed, and they were prepared to discharge from the hospital and return to Beijing.
The doctor’s exclamation could be heard from outside the door. “It’s really unbelievable. With the extent of Miss Gu’s injuries, it should’ve taken her at least three months to get out of bed.” But it had only been a short while, and she was already discharged!
After a while, Su Dingpei pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Gu Ning staring at the red string on her wrist quietly, looking lonely and helpless. Su Dingpei couldn’t bear to see Gu Ning like this. He walked up and stroked her head, asking: “Ningning, what’s wrong?” Following her gaze, he saw the red string on her wrist. He asked again: “What’s this?” Did he remember incorrectly? When he carried Gu Ning hear previously, there didn’t seem to be anything on her wrist.
Gu Ning did not reply to Su Dingpei. She didn’t know how to reply. She raised her head to look at Su Dingpei: “Little Uncle, where’s my kitten doll?”
Su Dingpei opened his mouth. When Gu Ning was unconscious, she had indeed been holding a tattered kitten doll. At that time, she was already delirious. In order to give her first aid, Su Dingpei threw the kitten doll aside.
Su Dingpei asked softly, “Ningning, is that kitten doll very important? It… it’s gone.” After saying that, he immediately added, “How about Little Uncle buy you a new one? I’ll buy it now.”
Gu Ning shook her head with tears in her eyes. “That was a gift from Mommy to Ningning…” After her mother passed away, everything that belonged to her mother was thrown away by her father. Only this kitten doll was left for her, but now it was gone too. Her mother was gone, her Master ran away, and the kitten doll was gone too…
Su Shenglang pushed the door open and walked in, immediately seeing Gu Ning’s expression that was on the verge of crying. He frowned and asked Su Dingpei coldly, “What happened? Did you make Ningning unhappy?”
Su Dingpei felt wronged. “No, Eldest Brother, Ningning’s kitton doll was left at the Gu residence.” He didn’t dare to say that the kitten doll was gone, just that it was left in the Gu residence, because he was afraid that Gu Ning would cry. But who knew if the people in the Gu residence would throw it away?
Su Shenglang’s expression softened. “Ningning, be good. Eldest Uncle will buy you another one.” It was just a kitten doll. If Ningning liked it, he could buy all the kitten dolls in the world for her.
Su Dingpei shook his head. “Big Brother, that’s the only thing Jiayu left for Ningning.”
Su Shenglang paused. His sister left it for Ningning? He immediately said, “Then let’s go back and get it.” He didn’t know if the kitten doll would be thrown away by the Gu family. If it was thrown away, he would find the kitten doll even if he had to search all the garbage dumps in Wutong City.
Gu Ning suddenly thought of something and said: “Eldest Uncle, Ning wants to go too.” Besides the kitten doll, she still had a very very important friend… she wanted to leave Wutong City with her friend and go to the Su residence together.
