After hearing Du Gang’s words, Ling Tianya was slightly stunned. Looking over at the man on the hospital bed, she said, “When we were in the park today, I asked him if he was afraid. He said that he was used to it. Today was not the first time such a thing has happened, was it?”
Du Gang paused. He didn’t know how to answer Ling Tianya. He didn’t want to scare her, which his boss would almost certainly punish him for when he woke up.
Then, the door to the ward opened and Gu Zhiqian, who had not appeared for a long time, came in.
“This was not the first time.”
Ling Tianya turned around and saw Gu Zhiqian looking at her with a smile. The normal carelessness had lessoned in his eyes, and he looked rather serious.
Gu Zhiqian hadn’t seen Ling Tianya for a while, so he was stunned by Ling Tianya’s beauty again when he laid eyes on her. Few women actually looked better without makeup, and in Gu Zhiqian’s opinion, Ling Tianya was someone who looked better without her makeup. That way she looked less glamorous and more innocent, less cold and more empathetic.
Perhaps Gu Zhiqian had been staring at Ling Tianya for a bit too long, Du Gang made a couple of uncomfortable coughs.
Gu Zhiqian came back to reality, and there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. He grabbed a chair and sat next to Ling Tianya. Looking at Ruan Zeyan he said, “If he was awake, he’d gonna be jealous and mad.”
Ling Tianya didn’t pay any attention to Gu Zhiqian’s jokes. “You just said that Ruan Zeyan has been in today’s situation more than once?”
Gu Zhiqian nodded somewhat disappointed. “He’s all you think about now?”
Ling Tianya frowned. She was displeased with Gu Zhiqian’s indirectness.
Gu Zhiqian reluctantly chuckled, and then said with a big sigh, “The first time someone attempted to kill him was at the age of ten. At that time, he almost lost his life. A gun was pressed against his forehead, and if the rescuer got there one second later, his life would have ended at ten years old.”
Shocked by Gu Zhiqian’s words, Ling Tianya felt retroactive fear as she waited for him to continue.
“Don’t look at me like that. You’ll make me do bad things.” Gu Zhiqian smirked, choosing his words carefully.
Du Gang stood behind him with a stern face, ready to kick him out at any moment.
“What the heck! Taking advantage of the boss being in a coma and seducing his woman! It was a shame when you have been friends with him for twenty years!”
Ling Tianya’s eyes reflected a chill, “Mr. Gu, please be serious!”
Met with Ling Tianya’s cold gaze, Gu Zhiqian shrugged his shoulders and continued. “The Ruan Family is different from the average family. It is absolutely huge and isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface. And the family has a reputation of being ruthless. Uncle Ruan had made many enemies in the past, and those who couldn’t touch him started to attack his heir. Because Ruan Zeyan was almost killed when he was ten, his father began to train him, and at the same time increased the level of his protection. It was not an easy fair for Ruan Zeyan to grow up. This level of assassination would happen once in a while, but Ruan Zeyan grew up, it has become increasingly difficult to assassinate him.”
Looking at Ruan Zeyan’s body covered by bandages, Ling Tianya’s face was distressed.
On the other hand, Gu Zhiqian laughed out loud, “You don’t need to feel bad for him. I think those who dared to assassinate him are more pitiful. Almost every single one ended up worse than being dead. Ruan Zeyan is very powerful, and most people can’t hurt him. I think If it was not for protecting you today, he wouldn’t be hurt.”
Sure enough, Gu Zhiqian’s words made Ling Tianya’s face turned black.
“So, it’s very dangerous to be with Ruan Zeyan. Before he wakes up, what do you say that you go with me?” Gu Zhiqian put his face close to Ling Tianya and his eyes sparked expectation.
