Chapter 727 - Want to Hear His Voice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Jinyu suggested that Yun Liuli should be hospitalized for another two days, just to be safe. After confirming that Yun Liuli was totally fine, then they could discharge the child.

Lin Nuan changed her clothes and went to the hospital with You Nainai, carrying the carp soup that Auntie Li had put into a thermos container.

…

After standing vigil for an entire night, Tang Zheng’s handsome face appeared tired, and bits of stubble could be seen on his well-defined jaw.

Yun Liuli sat on the hospital bed and was being given an IV. She gazed at Tang Zheng, who was standing at the foot of her bed, with her clear eyes.

As they were staring at each other, Lin Nuan and You Nainai entered.

Yun Liuli and Tang Zheng both looked in the direction of the door. When she saw Lin Nuan, the bright-eyed Yun Liuli smiled at her. Her voice sounded a little weak and raspy, but it was also very gentle and clear, and her tone was lively like that of young women. “I know you. You’re Lin Nuan, the talk show host and the wife of Gu Qingcheng’s best friend, Fu Huai’an…”

Yun Liuli smiled lightly at Lin Nuan, her eyes smiling too. She looked like a cute and mild young lady from every angle.

Tang Zheng held a hand to his aching head. “Xiao Liuli, this is your Uncle Fu’s wife. You should call her Auntie!”

Yun Liuli pursed her lips and cleared her throat before saying seriously, “But in that case, Gu Qingcheng and I would be differing in seniority!”

Lin Nuan’s heart skipped a beat, feeling like she had discovered some grand secret.

Could this young lady have fallen for… Gu Qingcheng?

Lin Nuan didn’t react, placing the thermos container on the bedside table and lowering her head as she poured out the soup…

You Nainai, who was standing at the door, looked in Yun Liuli’s direction. This young lady didn’t disguise her fondness for Gu Qingcheng at all. All those present were adults, and all of them could tell.

Since Lin Nuan and You Nainai could tell, Tang Zheng, who had more contact with Yun Liuli, would be even clearer about this.

Precisely because he was clear about it, Tang Zheng felt a headache about this matter.

Part of the reason Yun Liuli had gotten into this mess this time was that she had crossed the line with Gu Qingcheng.

Tang Zheng heard from Gu Qingcheng’s assistant that Yun Liuli had gotten a copy of some R-rated movies, and while Gu Qingcheng was lying down after taking some sleeping pills, she had pawed all over him and was caught in the act by him!

In a fit of anger, Gu Qingcheng had instructed his men to send Yun Liuli back to her school hostel, even banning Yun Liuli from the Gu manor if there were no reasons for her to go there!

Unexpectedly, Yun Liuli got into this mess on the third day after she returned to her school hostel!

Tang Zheng’s head ached over this. Gu Qingcheng owed a debt of gratitude to Yun Liuli and her family. If Yun Liuli were already in her twenties, Tang Zheng would definitely try his best to pair up Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli.

But back when Yun Liuli went to Gu Qingcheng’s side, she was only sixteen, so all of them had regarded her as a little kid, as a junior like Tuan Tuan!

After all these years, they were used to thinking of their relationship this way!

For Yun Liuli to declare her fondness for Gu Qingcheng now, even if there were no blood ties between the two of them, it was hard for them to accept this.

Although Yun Liuli looked like a gentle and mild young lady, she had a mind of her own and was far bolder than she looked. She was as scarily stubborn as Gu Qingcheng.

She was resolute in her feelings towards Gu Qingcheng. Tang Zheng had talked himself hoarse earlier, yet it had no effect on her at all.

Now that You Nainai and Lin Nuan had arrived, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but want to leave the room for a while. He said, “Sis-in-law, keep Xiao Liuli company with Nainai. I’ll head out for a smoke.”

Lin Nuan nodded.

The aroma of the carp soup caused Yun Liuli to turn her head. She gazed at Lin Nuan with her pretty and clean eyes, then said extra politely, “Thank you…”

Other than sounding a little weak, Lin Nuan couldn’t tell that this young lady had been kidnapped. She was in much better mental condition than Lin Nuan had anticipated.

Lin Nuan wanted to feed Yun Liuli, but she insisted on doing it herself. You Nainai then raised the little table on the hospital bed for her to have her meal…

When it was nearly eleven, Lin Nuan received Fu Huai’an’s call, saying he had just gotten off the plane and was back in the country.

Lin Nuan’s heart started beating faster. She had the urge to fetch Fu Huai’an from the airport.

When Lin Nuan turned around and saw Yun Liuli playing chess with You Nainai on the bed, she dismissed this idea.

You Nainai certainly wouldn’t agree to stay there and accompany Yun Liuli while Lin Nuan went to meet Fu Huai’an!

At twelve, Tang Zheng, who had gone home for a shower and a change of clothes, came over. He had shaved by now and looked immaculate. If not for the blood vessels in his eyes, no one would be able to tell he hadn’t slept the entire night.

“You didn’t go back and sleep for a while?” Lin Nuan asked.

“I’m fine. I’m used to it! Sis-in-law, you go back with Nainai first. Old Bai left early yesterday. He just called me and said that he’d be coming over to take my place in the afternoon!”

“Actually, I’m fine and can take care of myself. I don’t need someone to look after me…” Yun Liuli raised her hand.

Tang Zheng glanced at Yun Liuli, then said with his hands still in his pockets, “Old Bai said that Xiao Liuli could be discharged after today! I’m thinking, with that easily jealous girlfriend of Old Bai around, we could let Xiao Liuli stay at my place first! Gu Qingcheng will be back for Sis-in-law and Old Fu’s wedding. When that time comes, he can take Xiao Liuli away.”

Yun Liuli didn’t know of Gu Qingcheng’s injury yet, and Tang Zheng wasn’t planning on telling her either, lest she worried.

“You’re usually so busy. Why not let Liuli stay with Huai’an and me? Other than recording my show, I don’t really go anywhere. My schedule is more flexible too…”

Yun Liuli immediately nodded. “Okay!”

Yun Liuli had many questions she wanted to ask Lin Nuan in private. She wanted to ask Lin Nuan how she got started with Fu Huai’an. She didn’t have any experience when it came to relationships and had no idea how to win over Gu Qingcheng’s heart. It would be most appropriate for her to ask someone like Lin Nuan, who was experienced.

Considering there was indeed nobody at his place to take care of Yun Liuli and that Tang Zheng sometimes even forgot about his own mother when he got busy, much less a young lady, he nodded. “Good idea!”

After confirming where Yun Liuli would go after she was discharged, You Nainai sent Lin Nuan back to Tianfu Bay.

Only Yun Liuli and Tang Zheng were left in the ward now…

Perhaps because Tang Zheng had made it clear to Yun Liuli that Gu Qingcheng couldn’t possibly like her as a woman, Tang Zheng more or less felt awkward when their gazes met.

On the other hand, Yun Liuli’s gaze was so above board and clean that it made Tang Zheng sheepish. Tang Zheng loosened his collar and asked Yun Liuli, “What do you want to eat for lunch? If there’s nothing you particularly want to eat, Old Bai said he’d get his students to send over two servings of the canteen food for doctors.”

Yun Liuli blinked, then said in a clear voice, “I want to call Gu Qingcheng, I want to hear his voice…”

Because the two of them had addressed the elephant in the room, Yun Liuli showed no restraint in front of Tang Zheng and didn’t bother to hide this from him.

Tang Zheng was rendered speechless.

Gu Qingcheng was in the hospital receiving treatment right now, and he had no idea if he was asleep at this time…
