Song Ning was truly skilled at manipulating people’s hearts. She gradually trickled like water into her life and work, so now that she was suddenly gone, Ning Shu couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable and out of sorts.
With this skill, how did Song Ning lose to the pretty much useless An Nuan? It didn’t make sense.
After Ning Shu finished dealing with her work, she felt that there was a need to visit Song Ning. In the hospital room, Ning Shu saw that Song Ning was lying down, her delicate face deathly pale. Compared to how confident and seductive she usually was, the current Song Ning seemed very fragile like a child whose outer shell had been stripped away. Her innermost self was revealed and it made people’s hearts ache for her.
Ning Shu hadn’t expected for Song Ning to actually be sick, and from the looks of things, she was quite severely ill. She reached out and felt Song Ning’s forehead. “You have a slight fever. What happened?”
Song Ning coughed, then rolled her eyes at Ning Shu. “I caught a cold, got sick. I have a severe cold.”
All Ning Shu could say was, “Rest well.”
Song Ning’s facial color dimmed, causing her eyes to lose their luster. She reached out to tug at Ning Shu’s finger like a child. This gesture contained a sense of unease and reliance.
Ning Shu sat by the bed. “Don’t overthink things and just rest up properly.”
Song Ning held onto Ning Shu’s finger tightly as she said softly, “Gong Luo, is it really that hard to give me your true heart?”
Hard, it was very hard. There was no way Ning Shu would give her heart to someone else. If her heart was no longer with herself, would she still be herself? Would she still be able to complete tasks calmly?
She couldn’t even guarantee her own life right now.
So there was no way she’d hand over her heart, much less to a woman. That was even more absurd.
Ning Shu said mildly, “What do you want my true heart for? Aren’t things pretty good like this?”
“What’s good about this? I’m almost about to lose my heart, that’s why I want yours.” Song Ning’s expression was very pitiful. “We’re engaged. What’s wrong with being in love with each other?”
The veins on Ning Shu’s forehead pulsed and her heart filled with curses.
“I don’t want to lie to you. I won’t ever fall in love with you.” Ning Shu peeled off Song Ning’s fingers. Inwardly, she did feel a little apologetic.
Song Ning’s pale face contorted for a moment, then intense unwillingness and anger appeared on her face. However, after just a brief instant, they vanished and her expression became pitiful again.
After comforting Song Ning a little, Ning Shu made to leave. There was no way she could fall in love with a woman right now, so all she could do was avoid Song Ning. As for the matter of these feelings, it was best to leave it to the original host.
This Song Ning seriously had a lot of charm. Even though she was a woman, her heart was pounding.
This charm was completely irresistible.
“Don’t go. Gong Luo, don’t go.” Song Ning lifted the blankets aside and yanked the IV drip out of her arm. Barefoot, she moved in front of Ning Shu to block her way. “Is it really that hard for you to fall in love with me?”
Ning Shu rubbed her forehead. “Is it that easy to fall in love with someone? Can you fall in love with someone at will? Why are you in such a rush for me to fall in love with you?”
Ning Shu’s brows were furrowed as she towered over Song Ning and looked at her. They were engaged after all. With this relationship, it was fine to slowly grow feelings for each other, so why was Song Ning in such a rush?
Song Ning’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she said, “Because I’m in love, that’s why I’m impatient to get your answer. I feel uneasy and anxious, that’s why I’m in such a rush.”
