Gu Meng looked at the sadness and disappointment that flashed past Tang Xi’s eyes and she seemed to see her past self.
A few days ago, she had called Sister Ling Hui and Sister Ling Hui had told her about the agreement between Tang Xi and her.
She knew that Tang Xi had always liked Sister Ling Hui. She thought that after spending a month together, Sister Ling Hui would realize that Tang Xi was different.
She had not expected them to end their relationship so quickly!
Gu Meng wanted to ask Tang Xi the reason, but she swallowed her words.
She did not have such a close relationship with Tang Xi. It was better to ask Sister Ling Hui herself.
Tang Xi straightened his body and put his hands in his pockets. He took a few steps forward and seemed to have thought of something. He said to Gu Meng, “She has a cold. Go and see her when you have the time.”
Gu Meng nodded.
Tang Xi said nothing more and turned to leave.
Gu Meng only walked into the hospital after he left.
After handing the life-saving pill to her uncle’s doctor, Gu Meng did not rush to Ling Hui’s apartment.
Recently, she had been accompanying Brother Fu with Ye Qing. They had returned to Y Country to settle some matters yesterday and now, only Ye Qing was accompanying Brother Fu in Italy.
Strangely enough, the two men who had been jealous of each other and had even fought before now had a much better relationship.
Sometimes, when she saw the two of them playing chess, bickering, and talking about politics, Gu Meng felt that she was unnecessary.
On the way to Ling Hui’s apartmens, Gu Meng received a video from Ye Qing.
He was pushing Fu Cheng, who was in a wheelchair, to the square to feed the pigeons.
Because of the pain of his illness, Brother Fu had lost a lot of weight. He was wearing a hat and a black coat with a high collar, and holding pigeon feed in his hand as he looked at the pigeons in the square calmly.
After a while, several pigeons flew over and pecked away at the food in his hands.
He looked up and saw Ye Qing facing him with his phone. Seeming to have realized something, he smiled at the camera.
After finishing the video, Gu Meng’s eyes turned slightly red.
When she arrived at Ling Hui’s apartment, Gu Meng went to the supermarket in the district to buy ingredients and carried them upstairs.
When she arrived at the apartment, Ling Hui was still unconscious.
Gu Meng touched her forehead. Her fever had gone down.
Gu Meng did not wake Ling Hui up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
…
When Ling Hui woke up, the sky was already bright.
Opening her eyes, she stared at the ceiling above her, her expression dazed for a moment.
Seeming to have thought of something, she sat up on the bed and looked around, but did not see the man.
If it wasn’t because the man had bitten her lips last night and it hurt a little after waking up, she would have thought that it had just been a dream.
Ling Hui went to the bathroom to take a look but did not see Tang Xi. She opened the bedroom door and walked toward the living room.
Hearing sounds from the kitchen, Ling Hui walked over and said hoarsely, “When did you get up?”
The moment she finished speaking, Ling Hui was slightly surprised when she saw that it was not Tang Xi but Gu Meng. “Mengmeng, when did you come?”
After Gu Meng and Dai Xuan acknowledged each other, Ling Hui rarely called her ‘Vivian’ anymore. Besides, she had changed her surname from ‘Gu’ to ‘Dai’. She was the real Princess Dai Meng of Y Country.
Seeing that Ling Hui was up, Gu Meng put down the spoon in her hand. “I came an hour ago. Breakfast will be ready soon. Sister Ling Hui, does your head still hurt?”
“I’m feeling much better.” Ling Hui scratched her head and said awkwardly, “Did you see anyone when you came this morning?”
“Young Master Tang?”
Ling Hui’s heart tightened and she said unnaturally, “Y-Yes.”
Gu Meng thought of Tang Xi’s condition in the morning and what he had said. She did not know how to tell Ling Hui.
But she did not want to hide it.
“Sister Ling Hui, Young Master Tang called me this morning and asked me to go to the hospital Uncle is staying at.”
Ling Hui frowned. Although she was full of doubts, she knew that Gu Meng had not finished speaking and did not interrupt her.
“He gave me a life-saving pill and I gave it to Uncle’s doctor.” Gu Meng bit her lip. “He didn’t want me to tell you about this. He didn’t want you to feel like you owe him anything.”
Ling Hui was shocked.
He actually managed to get a life-saving pill?
Ling Hui was not stupid. She thought of how he said that he had a stomach ulcer and was hospitalized last night. It was very likely that he had asked the Tenth Princess for a life-saving pill and the Tenth Princess had made conditions. In the end, he had drunk until he had to be hospitalized!
If that was the case, hadn’t he been too foolish?
If he knew that she did not like him, why did he disregard his own life and do all this for her?
Ling Hui closed her eyes and asked hoarsely, “What else did he say?”
“He said that feelings cannot be forced and he will never appear in front of you again!”
Hearing this, Ling Hui pursed her lips tightly.
Their relationship had eased a lot before she had gone to bed last night. He even kissed her eyes, making her heart flutter.
Why had he said those words in front of Mengmeng after she had gone to bed?
It sounded like he was utterly disappointed in her!
Ling Hui really could not remember what she had done to make his attitude change so drastically!
Could it be because of the life-saving pill that the Tenth Princess had another request for him?
Ling Hui’s expression changed. She turned around and ran toward the bedroom.
Gu Meng had never seen Ling Hui so panicked. Even when she found out that Ling Motian had cheated on Dai Na, she had been calm on the surface.
After Ling Hui rushed into the bedroom, she found her phone and called Tang Xi.
However, to her surprise, she could not get through to him.
She sent him another WeChat message.
She had been blocked.
Ling Hui sat on the bed, her long eyelashes lowered and her red lips pursed tightly.
This was the first time someone of the opposite sex had deleted all of her contact details.
Tang Xi was determined to cut ties with her!
Ling Hui felt a little suffocated and her feelings were indescribable.
How had she offended him last night?
Gu Meng saw that Ling Hui did not come out after entering the bedroom. She walked over and knocked on the door.
The door was not closed tightly. Ling Hui sat on the bed in a daze, her expression not looking too good.
“Sister Ling Hui, have you contacted Young Master Tang?”
Ling Hui looked up slowly at Gu Meng and shook her head. She seemed to have thought of something and reached out her hand. “Mengmeng, lend me your phone. I’ll call him.”
Gu Meng did not ask anything and handed her phone to Ling Hui.
Ling Hui thought that she could call Tang Xi using Gu Meng’s phone, but it was turned off.
He might have left on a flight by this time!
…
After breakfast, Ling Hui and Gu Meng went to the hospital.
The attending doctor called the famous doctor over and confirmed that the life-saving pill indeed had the effect of removing all poisons.
Ling Hui thought of Tang Xi and walked out of the doctor’s office. She borrowed the nurse’s phone and called him.
The phone was still turned off.
Just like that, Tang Xi’s phone remained switched off until the evening.
Logically speaking, he should have gotten off the plane.
Just as Ling Hui was feeling uneasy, Gu Meng rushed over. “Sister Ling Hui, something has happened.”
