The next morning.
Gu Ning would go back first after taking a shower and putting clothes on, while Leng Shaoting would wait in the hotel for her call. All of a sudden, Gu Ning felt they were like having an affair. Even though they were boyfriend and girlfriend it wasn’t the right time to reveal their real relationship yet.
Before Gu Ning left, Leng Shaoting kissed Gu Ning for a long time and didn’t let her go until she was out of breath. Gu Ning glared at him afterwards.
“Ningning, don’t you know that your glare isn’t threatening at all, but is quite alluring instead.” Leng Shaoting breathed deeply to calm himself down in case he would lose control of himself and press her against the bed again.
“You…” Gu Ning flushed, then ran away.
When she had just walked out of the hotel she received Master Bai’s call. Gu Ning wore a wry smile when she saw the caller’s name. Bai Xueyan must have told Master Bai that she was in City G.
“Hi, Master Bai!”
“Hi! Why didn’t you tell me that you came to City G?” Master Bai raised his voice on the phone.
Gu Ning immediately explained, “I just came here with my mother and aunt for a short trip, so I didn’t call you.”
“Are you free today?” Master Bai asked.
Gu Ning understood that if she said yes, Master Bai would arrange a meal to meet her. Gu Ning didn’t want him to bother, so she said, “I’m sorry, Master Bai, I’ve already booked the plane tickets and we’ll be going back to City F soon.”
“Fine, but you have to spare some time to meet us the next time you come here,” Master Bai said. He was a considerate old man.
“Sure!” Gu Ning replied.
In the Tang family’s house, City B.
That afternoon, Zhao Yiru, a college professor who just came back from a foreign country visited Tang Haifeng. After hearing what had happened to Tang Yunfan an idea dawned on Zhao Yiru. “Well, I can probably explain it, but I’m afraid that you won’t believe me.”
“Just tell us!” Tang Haifeng urged him.
Everyone in the Tang family’s house looked at Zhao Yiru with anticipation. Zhao Yiru then opened his mouth. “I heard that when someone is healthy but stays unconscious it is because he isn’t willing to wake up. Normally, the person may have an obsession and he can’t get rid of it, so he’s trapped by his dream and won’t wake up.”
“Isn’t this superstition?” Tang Yunhang looked doubtful.
“Well, it sounds like it could be true!” Tang Haifeng, on the other hand, thought that it was possible. Anyway, there was no reasonable explanation till now.
Quan Mingkai, at this time, frowned tightly because he knew Tang Yunfan very well and he understood that Tang Yunfan’s obsession must be the memory dating back to 18 years ago. Tang Yunfan had lost control of himself because of it many times.
“Mr. Zhao, how can we wake him up in that case?” Quan Mingkai asked.
“If his obsession is a specific thing, we can help him finish it, then repeatedly tell him by his ears that it’s already done and he’ll relax and wake up. If his obsession is a person, then we need the person to talk to him and he might wake up then,” Zhao Yiru said.
“If it’s real, we have to find out what Yunfan’s obsession is!” Cao Ruihua said. Although he was doubtful as well, he didn’t want to miss any chance to wake Tang Yunfan up.
“Exactly! However, none of us know what it is.”
Tang Yunfan had kept a distance from everyone in the Tang family, so nobody knew him that well.
“If we can’t figure out his obsession, will he stay unconscious forever?” Tang Yunrong was worried.
“Not really, we can have someone talk to him all the time. Say something important to him, and he will probably wake up, but it isn’t very effective compared with the way of figuring out his obsession. All in all, it’s just a rough guess,” Zhao Yiru said. Although it was just a rough guess, he thought that it was highly possible.
In the beginning, Quan Mingkai hesitated to tell the Tang family the shocking secret but it seemed like he had to do it right now for Tang Yunfan’s safety, so he opened his mouth. “Um, I think that I probably know what Lord Tang’s obsession is.”
Quan Mingkai believed that it had to be Tang Yunfan’s obsession, but he remained cautious.
“What? Really?” Everyone looked to Quan Mingkai, shocked.
Quan Mingkai nodded, then said seriously, “Although I’m not 100% sure, I think that it’s highly possible. In fact, Lord Tang went to City F to do a specific thing, which is also his obsession.”
“What is it? Tell us now!” Tang Haifeng was very excited.
“Tell us!” Everyone urged Quan Mingkai.
“To meet Gu Ning and her mother,” Quan Mingkai said. “Doesn’t everyone think that Gu Ning closely resembles Lord Tang? In fact, Gu Ning is Lord Tang’s biological daughter.”
“What?” Hearing that, everyone rounded his or her eyes in shock. After the shock, they were all excited and delighted. Gu Ning had already left a great impression on them, and they also had accepted her as a member of their family, so it was actually good news if Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter. Most importantly, Tang Yunfan finally had his own child.
Tang Yunfan’s family was always worried that he would stay alone forever.
In addition, they didn’t care whether Gu Ning would compete against them for their family property. Money was just a string of numbers in their eyes and they valued family far above wealth.
Even if Gu Ning became the sole heiress nobody would disagree, because Tang Yunfan alone had built the Tang Family’s family business to be so successful, and it was totally reasonable if he wanted to leave his business to his daughter.
“Really?” Tang Haifeng was excited as well as nervous.
