Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

Lu Qingyun coughed, took a step back, and lazily nestled on the sofa, gesturing with her slender white fingers, "Would I be sad?"

Gu Jinming's eyes darkened slightly.

Unsatisfied with this result?

Lu Qingyun bit her lip. "Should we burn some paper money?"

Gu Jinming remained silent, his face darkening further.

"Brother, we're just playing along, you don't expect me to die for love, do you?"

Lu Qingyun patted his shoulder, looking at him with an expression that said, "You don't really think that way."

"Go to sleep."

He really couldn't have any expectations of this heartless brat.

Gu Jinming sighed inwardly and wheeled himself toward the bedroom.

Lu Qingyun didn't understand why Gu Jinming was angry, so she touched her nose and didn't dwell on it.

-

The next day.

After the rain, the sky clears up.

After yesterday's weather, today's weather is exceptionally good.

The guests arrived at noon, and Liang Dong, a confidant of Old Madam Gu, personally went to greet them.

The car stopped at the gate, where Madam Gu and the others were waiting to greet them.

Lu Qingyun was no exception.

But who could be the person who could get Old Madam Gu and the others to come out?

Lu Qingyun stared at the car door with curiosity for a few moments.

However, at that very moment, the car door opened.

Liang Dong withdrew his hand, which was halfway outstretched, and stepped aside, bowing slightly to show his respect.

The man had a gentle demeanor and refined features, resembling a noble young master from ancient times.

If one were to describe him in a single line of poetry, only the phrase "A gentleman as fine as jade, unparalleled in the world" could truly capture his image.

Apart from Lu Qingyun and Gu Jinming, everyone else present looked at him with respect.

"Young Master Ning, please come in. You must be tired from your journey. The food is ready. Please come in and have something to eat."

With a smile on her face, Madam Gu gestured for her to enter.

Ning Zheyan nodded, a gentle smile on his face. "Thank you for your trouble."

"Young Master Ning, you're too kind."

Madam Gu smiled and led the people inside.

Gu Jian'an and the others accompanied them.

When Lu Qingyun saw Ning Zheyan, her expression was slightly surprised.

So the distinguished guest that Madam Gu was referring to was Ning Zheyan.

What is this guy up to?

Ning Zheyan, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and asked, "Sister Yun?"

Lu Qingyun: ...

That puzzled little expression was so well done.

Despite his gentle and refined appearance, Ning Zheyan is actually quite the drama queen.

When Madam Gu and the others saw Ning Zheyan stop, they all paused as well. Upon hearing his address to Lu Qingyun, they all showed expressions of surprise.

Judging from their appearance, do these two know each other?

"Qingqing, do you know Young Master Ning?"

Madam Gu looked at Ning Zheyan and then at Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun exclaimed, "I learned my medical skills from his grandfather."

Madam Gu's face showed a look of understanding. "No wonder Qingqing's medical skills are so good."

Ning Zheyan, standing to the side: Keep making things up.

What do you mean by learning medicine from his grandfather? It was clearly his grandfather who begged to become Lu Qingyun's apprentice. If Lu Qingyun hadn't been so resolute, Ning Zheyan wouldn't know how to face her in the future.

I don't even know how to address them.

Just then, Liang Dong parked his car outside and was about to go inside when he caught a glimpse of Lu Qingyun. His expression was one of shock followed by confusion.

"It's you?!"

Lu Qingyun snapped out of her daze and glanced at Liang Dong.

She had been distracted and hadn't noticed who the driver was, but now that she looked closely, Lu Qingyun could only remark that the road was indeed narrow.

Unexpectedly, Liang Dong was the client that Ning Zheyan had introduced to him.

The information she was looking at that day must have been Gu Jinming's.

Gu Jinming raised an eyebrow upon hearing Liang Dong's surprised voice. "What, you two know each other?"

His tone was somewhat cold, and Liang Dong unconsciously rubbed his arms.

Hearing the commotion, Old Madam Gu and the others looked over.

"what happened?"

"Madam, what... what is she doing here?"

Liang Dong pointed at Lu Qingyun, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with disgust.

This woman actually came to our door; she really is plotting something against our young master!

Liang Dong knew that Gu Jinming had married the second young lady of the Lu family, but she did not know that the girl she had met last time was the second young lady of the Lu family.

He assumed that Lu Qingyun had somehow managed to infiltrate the Gu family in order to get close to Gu Jinming.

"What do you mean 'her' or 'her'? Liang Dong, this is the young mistress, Ah Jin's wife."

Madam Gu frowned slightly before explaining.

what? !

Is this woman the second young lady of the Lu family?

Liang Dong's expression instantly cracked.

"Uncle Liang, judging from your appearance, it seems you've met Qingqing before."

Gu Jinming glanced at Liang Dong, whose expression was unnatural.

There was some misunderstanding before.

Liang Dong hummed in agreement, but did not explain what misunderstanding existed between them.

Lu Qingyun stood with her hands in her pockets, her posture somewhat nonchalant. She glanced down at Gu Jinming; his complexion was better than yesterday. After drinking the medicine she had prepared last night, his fever had subsided.

Gu Jinming felt Lu Qingyun's gaze and looked up, their eyes meeting.

Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow, curled her lips, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, instantly melting away the restlessness between his brows.

what happened?

Gu Jinming sensed the change in his feelings towards Lu Qingyun and frowned slightly in confusion.

Liang Dong brought up something else to divert Madam Gu's attention.

Ning Zheyan glanced at Liang Dong again, a cold smile playing on his lips.

After the group entered the house, Madam Gu reiterated the purpose of inviting Ning Zheyan there.

An Qiong personally brewed tea for him, saying, "Young Master Ning, I would like to trouble you to give my daughter, Ah Jin, a follow-up check-up."

Ning Zheyan accepted the tea and said politely.

With Sister Yun here, there's nothing for her to do.

He came here to prove himself to Liang Dong and let Liang Dong know Lu Qingyun's true strength.

Gu Jinming was nominally Lu Qingyun's husband, and he thought that Sister Yun would never stand by and watch Gu Jinming die in front of her.

So the purpose of this trip is to make the Gu family look at Sister Yun in a new light!

That's right, that's it!

Ning Zheyan's eyes gleamed, even showing a hint of eagerness.

She knew Ning Zheyan's character well, having known him for seven or eight years.

Lu Qingyun immediately gave Ning Zheyan a wink, but Ning Zheyan pretended not to see it.

Lu Qingyun: I really want to drag this guy out and beat him up.

Gu Jinming naturally noticed their eye contact, and he pursed his lips, clearly displeased.

"Mr. Gu, give me your hands."

Ning Zheyan was going to take his pulse.

Everyone around him held their breath, afraid that the slightest sound they made would disturb him.

After a short while, Ning Zheyan frowned slightly.

This frown immediately made both Old Madam Gu and An Qiong's hearts jump.

An Qiong unconsciously grasped Gu Jinming's hand, her brows furrowed with worry.

Gu Jinming patted her hand, his eyes reassuring her not to worry.

"Young Master Ning, how is Ah Jin's health? Is he feeling any better than before?"

Anqiong couldn't hold back and asked urgently, her voice trembling slightly.
