Jiang Yue gazed at Song Ling with concern. “Brother Song Ling, you should go see a doctor and check if you’re injured,” she urged.
Song Ling looked at the bruise on Jiang Yue’s forehead and the burn on her back, which he knew was there without even looking. His heart clenched tightly.
He was taken aback that Jiang Yue, in such a state, was still worried about him.
With a softened voice, Song Ling reassured her, “It’s just a minor scrape for me, nothing serious. Don’t worry about me, rest well.”
But Jiang Yue persisted, “Brother Song Ling, I’m worried about you. Please, see a doctor.”
Reluctantly, Song Ling agreed, “Alright.”
A doctor, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but remark, “Young man, your girlfriend really cares for you. Even in such a dangerous situation, she never thought of fleeing, only protecting you.”
Song Ling paused, and while following the doctor, he clarified, “She’s not my girlfriend.”
A shadow passed through Jiang Yue’s eyes, but she quickly relaxed.
Anyway, she had once again secured the role of Song Ling’s savior. With proper use, she would eventually open his heart and make him come to her, like before.
Jiang Yue’s mind was abuzz with thoughts, but she maintained a forlorn appearance.
Seeing her like this, a nurse couldn’t help but comfort her, “Miss Jiang, don’t be sad. You’re so beautiful; he’ll definitely like you.”
Jiang Yue shyly nodded in agreement.
When Zhao Xuan arrived, he saw Song Ling lost in thought, looking at Jiang Yue’s sleeping face.
He asked quietly, “Presi-President Song, are you alright?”
Song Ling replied, “I’m fine.”
After a moment of silence, Song Ling inquired, “Is Gu Dai injured?”
Zhao Xuan, with his head down, softly answered, “Don’t worry, President Song. Miss Gu is unharmed.”
Song Ling had guessed as much, given the number of people protecting her at the time. Yet, he couldn’t help but ask.
Feeling annoyed inside, Song Ling stubbornly said, “I’m not concerned about her, just asking casually.”
Zhao Xuan quickly agreed, “Right, just a casual question, not concerned about Miss Gu.”
Song Ling felt Zhao Xuan’s tone was mocking. His gaze turned cold, and he said, “I’m not concerned about her. I just remembered something from three years ago and thought, if she’s fine, you could pick something up from the hospital for her.”
Zhao Xuan still thought it was an excuse but dared not voice his thoughts, simply responding, “Okay.”
After agreeing, Zhao Xuan didn’t leave immediately, but reported, “President Song, you have a pile of unfinished work. Do you need to…”
Song Ling, reminded of the mountain of contracts at his company, said, “I’ll go back now.”
At that moment, Jiang Yue stirred and asked softly, “Brother Song Ling, are you leaving?”
Song Ling, looking at her, felt conflicted.
If Jiang Yue was still as unreasonable as before, he could treat her coldly and sternly.
But faced with her softened demeanor and her pale face from saving him, he found it hard to be harsh.
Taking a deep breath, Song Ling replied, “Yes, I have matters at the company.”
Jiang Yue nodded gently, obediently saying, “Go handle your work, Brother Song Ling. I won’t cling to you. Though I can’t sleep at night without seeing you, like before, I can just take some sleeping pills.”
Song Ling’s expression turned cold, asking sharply, “Have you been taking sleeping pills recently?”
Fearfully, Jiang Yue nodded, whispering, “Every night, I think of you. I know I’ve done wrong because of my love for you, and I can’t control myself. These emotions trouble me, and only sleeping pills help me sleep.”
Trying not to frighten Jiang Yue, Song Ling spoke softly, “Don’t take sleeping pills anymore. I’ll come back to accompany you after work, and forget about the past. Don’t take pills because of it anymore.”
Tearfully, Jiang Yue agreed, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother Song Ling.”
Zhao Xuan, observing Jiang Yue, rolled his eyes in silence.
Song Ling might not see it, but Zhao Xuan understood – Jiang Yue was just acting, she was very cunning!
Unable to bear it, Zhao Xuan hurriedly left to fetch documents for the Gu residence..
