Chapter 113: Manifestation

Lu Qingyun listened and a smile spread across his lips.

 When Grandpa told him about this earlier, he thought Grandpa had gone alone.

He didn’t expect Qingshuang to go with him, and it was such a coincidence that she met Yaoyao. Perhaps it was a wonderful twist of fate.

Lu Qingyun’s gaze slowly turned to Ling Yao, his eyes filled with endless tenderness.

Seeing this, Ling Yao returned a radiant smile.

At this moment, an invisible warm current seemed to flow between them, connecting their hearts tightly.

On the side, Lu Qingshuang keenly noticed the sweet atmosphere between them.

She coughed lightly, “Big brother, since you’re okay now, I’m relieved.

 I won’t disturb your sweetness with Sister-in-law. I won’t be a third wheel. Bye!”

With that, she playfully stuck out her tongue at them, then turned and left the ward, leaving a string of cheerful laughter echoing in the ward.

Lu Qingyun shook his head helplessly. His sister was cute, but she always acted impulsively.

Ling Yao shyly glanced at Lu Qingyun and walked towards the door of the ward.

“Yaoyao, where are you going?” Lu Qingyun asked nervously.

“I’m going to get you a basin of water and wash your face.”

“Oh.” Hearing this, Lu Qingyun was relieved. As long as Ling Yao wasn’t angry with him.

Ling Yao opened the ward door and instantly ran into Lu Qingshuang, who was eavesdropping by the door.

Their eyes met, and they stared at each other, the air seeming to freeze.

Lu Qingshuang hadn’t expected Ling Yao to come out suddenly. An awkward expression appeared on her face.

She suddenly remembered the thermos bottle she was carrying.

It was chicken soup that Grandpa had specifically asked Wang Ma to prepare for her brother when she left.

 Oh, she almost forgot such an important thing.

“This is chicken soup that Wang Ma made for Big brother. I forgot about it earlier.

 Sister-in-law, please take it in and feed it to Big brother.” With that, Lu Qingshuang quickly handed the thermos bottle to Ling Yao.

“Okay.” Ling Yao took the thermos bottle.

“Then I’ll go first. I’ll come again tomorrow.” With that, Lu Qingshuang quickly left. Oh my, it was so awkward.

Looking at Lu Qingshuang’s departing figure, Ling Yao shook her head and smiled.

She handed the thermos bottle to Xiao Zhou beside her, “You take it in first. I’ll go get some water.”

“Okay, Sister-in-law.” Xiao Zhou took the thermos bottle.

Ling Yao took the basin and walked towards the water room.

 Now, the wards in the hospital didn’t have private bathrooms.

Whether it was going to the bathroom or getting water, they had to go outside.

“Comrade Ling Yao!” Gu Qingan was carrying a basket of apples.

When he saw Ling Yao, he smiled and walked towards her. He hadn’t gone back to the army with the commander.

He wanted to find a chance to get closer to Ling Yao, so he specially bought a basket of apples to try to win her favor.

Ling Yao frowned, “Anything?”

“These are apples I bought for Captain Lu.” Gu Qingan handed the apples to Ling Yao.

“You take them to the ward yourself. I still need to get water.”

Ling Yao said expressionlessly, her tone as cold as if the surrounding air would freeze into ice.

 She really didn’t want to waste any more words with Gu Qingan.

Now, whenever she saw this man, a strong sense of discomfort surged through her heart.

She couldn’t understand how she was blinded in her past life and actually liked such a scumbag.

 “I’ll go get the water for you.” Gu Qingan reached out to take the basin from Ling Yao.

Ling Yao, however, didn’t appreciate it. She quickly pulled the basin back and coldly refused, “No need!”

With that, she turned and walked towards the water room without looking back, as if even looking at Gu Qingan for a moment would make her feel dirty.

“Comrade Ling Yao, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? I feel like you really dislike me.

Can you tell me why?” Looking at Ling Yao’s back, Gu Qingan was full of confusion.

He had only met Ling Yao a few times. There shouldn’t be such a deep prejudice.

Hearing Gu Qingan’s words, Ling Yao stopped, but she didn’t turn around.

 She responded in an extremely cold tone, “What’s your purpose in approaching me?”

“I don’t have any purpose. I just want to be friends with you.”

Ling Yao’s lips curled up slightly. She turned to look at Gu Qingan and gave a sarcastic smile,

 “I heard you’re married. Aren’t you afraid your wife will be jealous if you’re friends with me?”

“She won’t. Because we’re about to get a divorce.” Gu Qingan gave a bitter smile.

 He thought Zhou Yu was gentle and kind. Only after getting married did he realize that it was all an illusion, all a facade.

Ling Yao scoffed and walked away. In this life, Zhou Yu couldn’t replace her position and become the Miss Ji family.

 Naturally, she couldn’t help Gu Qingan, so she had lost her value to him.

 Divorce was just a matter of time. After all, how could people like them, who only cared about their own interests, stay together for a long time?

Gu Qingan withdrew his gaze, looked down at the apples in his hand, and walked away from the hospital.

But he wouldn’t give up. He just had to deal with the current situation first, which was his divorce from Zhou Yu.

Only after the divorce could he pursue Ling Yao without any worries.

As he walked out of the hospital, Gu Qingan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if an invisible hand was tightly clenching his heart.

He frowned in pain, grabbed the trunk of a tree by the roadside, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead. The pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe, and the world in front of him began to blur.

After a while, the piercing pain gradually subsided.

Gu Qingan gently rubbed his chest, his eyes filled with confusion and unease. What was going on?

Why was he suddenly experiencing these symptoms? Moreover, these symptoms were exactly the same as Zhou Yu’s previous symptoms.

 Now, Zhou Yu would experience this pain countless times every day. Would he be like this in the future?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Gu Qingan turned and walked back towards the hospital.

He had to investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, his future would be ruined.

Because he was walking too fast, Gu Qingan bumped into a woman walking towards him.

“You’re walking without looking! Are you blind?” The woman glared angrily at Gu Qingan.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to. Are you okay?”

Gu Qingan walked over, reached out to help the woman up, and looked at her with concern.

The woman looked at Gu Qingan’s handsome and gentle face.

 The anger on her face instantly disappeared, and her tone softened,

“I’m fine. Don’t walk so fast in the future. You could bump into someone.”

“Okay.” Gu Qingan smiled and nodded.

 He felt like he recognized the woman in front of him. He seemed to have seen her somewhere.
