Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

34: Chapter 34 An Yiqing’s Illness 34: Chapter 34 An Yiqing’s Illness Forty minutes passed, and An Yiqing began to remove the silver needles one by one.

Duan Yuntian’s complexion was much better than before, regaining the healthy ruddiness that a normal person should have.

She gently pricked an acupoint on Duan Yuntian, and the previously sleeping elder slowly woke up.

“Elder Duan, how do you feel?”

Duan Yuntian only felt a sense of relaxation that he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

There was always a feeling of suffocation and pain in his chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing on him every day.

Now that feeling was completely gone, and his body felt exceedingly light.

The unease in his heart had now settled completely.

“I feel a lot lighter all over.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this breathability.

Girl Qing, I really owe you one!” Duan Yuntian was very excited, nothing like his imposing manner at the Muyun Society.

He was now completely like a kind elderly man.

An Yiqing smiled at his words, her language full of teasing, “You’d better not get too excited and forget what you promised me.

You need to keep a calm mindset.

If you don’t cooperate, I might just stop treating you.”

“You little girl dare to threaten me?

Hahaha!

I’ll listen to you, old man!” Duan Yuntian liked An Yiqing’s easygoing attitude.

Everyone else was always tiptoeing around him like a mouse around a cat, and although his grandson Duan Tang was not afraid of him, he was rather mature for his age.

An Yiqing’s little threats and teasings delighted him and gave him the joy of being surrounded by loving grandchildren.

An Yiqing couldn’t help but chuckle at Duan Yuntian’s hearty words.

This Elder Duan was quite like her master in temper.

If the two of them met, they might actually become friends.

After the heat dissipated slowly, Duan Tang opened the room door and called in the servants to clean up, then the three of them moved to the living room to chat.

An Yiqing checked on Duan Yuntian again, and the treatment had a very good effect, just as she had predicted.

“It’s getting late.

Why don’t you stay here for a simple meal?” Duan Tang looked at the sky and said to An Yiqing, as if afraid she would refuse, he brought up his grandfather, “If you don’t agree, grandpa will feel like he’s neglected you.”

Immediately, Duan Yuntian understood his grandson’s thoughts.

Haha, Ah Tang really did have a good eye.

“Right!

Girl Qing, you must eat here before going back.

You’ve come all the way here to treat me, if you don’t even eat dinner here, people will laugh at this old man if it gets out,” Elder Duan was very enthusiastic about matchmaking for his grandson, Ah Tang taking a liking to someone was as rare as a blooming iron tree, quite extraordinary!

Looking at the act-putting Elder Duan, An Yiqing smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.

Seeing An Yiqing consenting, Duan Tang was very pleased, and a few traces of clouds parting for the sun appeared on his fine face.

**

The dinner went splendidly, with both host and guest satisfied.

Duan Tang was happy to host, and An Yiqing was also very content with the meal.

After dinner, Duan Tang did not insist further and had a driver take An Yiqing back to school.

“Stop looking already, the car’s out of sight.” Seeing his grandson standing motionless, watching the direction in which An Yiqing had left, Duan Yuntian teased, “Hurry up and marry that granddaughter-in-law for me!

Hmph, rascal!” With that, he hummed a tune and swaggeringly returned inside, leaving Duan Tang standing at the entrance with a full head of black lines.

The next day at noon, just after finishing class and returning to the dorm, An Yiqing received a phone call from Gu Yelin.

She blinked her clear aqua eyes—her heart was acting up again…

“I’m at your dormitory building.

Grandpa asked me to bring something for Tingting.”

“Uh, Tingting isn’t here.” As she heard Gu Yelin’s deep, pleasant voice, An Yiqing’s face, quite embarrassingly, turned red again.

Wuu—(>_

Gu Yelin, of course, knew that Gu Tingting wasn’t there, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to use that as an excuse to see her.

“Then come down and take it up for her.”

“Uh…

okay.” An Yiqing bit her red lip hesitantly before agreeing to come down.

Her heart, however, started beating even faster.

She definitely had an incurable disease, right…

No sooner had An Yiqing walked out of the dormitory than she saw Gu Yelin.

He wore a black shirt with subtle patterns, sleeves slightly rolled up to reveal strong forearms, matched with black casual pants and a pair of custom-made black leather shoes.

His entire figure was devoid of any flamboyant decorations aside from a silver watch.

Yet this seemingly ordinary and simple outfit was worn with a unique nobility and elegance.

Girls from the dormitory couldn’t help but walk past him, yearning for his approval, but he stood there with his eyes downcast and body erect, keeping himself aloof from the mundane world.

An Yiqing stared somewhat dumbfoundedly at Gu Yelin, who seemed to shine like the sun no matter where he stood.

Even with his chilly and stern air, he couldn’t hide the proud enthusiasm within.

He was like a wolf king in the snowy night, seemingly indifferent and ruthless yet with a fiercely passionate side.

Gu Yelin had spotted An Yiqing the moment she emerged.

Seeing her dazed expression fixed on him, the pleasure in his eyes deepened, feeling for the first time that his face was somewhat useful.

“How’s the injury?” Gu Yelin stepped forward, carefully examining An Yiqing, and asked.

“Cough, it’s nothing serious.” An Yiqing hadn’t expected to be caught staring at him and felt awkward, coughing to cover up her nervousness, “What is it that you’ve brought for Tingting?”

“There’s no rush for that.

I came today because I need to talk to you about something.” Third Young Master Gu certainly didn’t plan on seeing the young lady just to send her away.

“I have a friend who is sick, and I would like you to take a look.”

“Uh, I can do that.” An Yiqing agreed without a second thought, and then she felt foolish…

Shouldn’t she have acted a bit more shy?…

Weird, why should she feel shy?…

Master, your cherished disciple is beyond help!

If Gu Yelin knew about An Yiqing’s wandering thoughts at that moment, he would have found it both amusing and bewildering, probably wishing he could pry open her little head to see if there was anything other than medical knowledge in there.

“The case is a bit complex.

Let’s have lunch, and we can talk about it while we eat.” So it’s clear that Third Young Master Gu never engages without preparation, right?

He timed his visit perfectly for the lunch hour!

“Um…

well, let me treat you today.” An Yiqing felt that Gu Yelin had not only taken her out for a meal a few days ago but also considerately accompanied her to the hospital, so it was only proper to return the favor.

Uh, that’s the plan.

“Okay.” Gu Yelin certainly knew An Yiqing’s intentions, and he was more than happy to go along with it, delighted by the young lady’s thoughtful gesture.
