When the bodyguards at the door saw Gu Meng, they did not stop her. It was obvious that they had been instructed by the Queen.

  Pushing open the door, Gu Meng walked in.

  The Queen was no longer in the ward. Gu Meng looked at the man lying on the bed and felt like a lifetime had passed.

  In just two or three days, he looked like he had lost a lot of weight and there was a faint stubble on his chin.

  When she got closer, she realized that his face was very pale.

  Gu Meng felt a lump in her throat. “Why are you so silly? I’m not worth you doing that for me!” She choked. “Do you think I’ll forgive you if you do that? I won’t!”


  As she spoke, her tears fell onto his face.

  She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, trying to control her emotions. “Wake up quickly and start your new life!”


  Gu Meng reached out her hand and wiped away the tears that had landed on his face.

  She was about to retract her hand when suddenly, her fingertips were grabbed by a warm and dry hand.

  Gu Meng was so frightened that her heart jumped. Seeing the man whose eyelids moved as if he was about to wake up, she quickly retracted her hand and ran out of the ward.

  Ye Qing opened his dark eyes and saw Gu Meng running out.

  He pulled out the IV tube, ignoring the bleeding back of his hand and the torn wound as he got up from the bed quickly.

  The bodyguard at the door was shocked when he saw Ye Qing coming out.

  “Your Highness.”


  Ye Qing ran toward the elevator but the bodyguards stopped him. “Your Highness, the Queen has instructed you to rest well.”


  Ye Qing raised his hand and punched the bodyguard blocking him.

  His eyes were red and his aura was terrifying, as if he wanted to fight them to death.

  “Ye Qing!”


  Hearing Gu Meng’s voice, Ye Qing looked up immediately.

  Seeing the woman standing at the end of the corridor, he seemed to have been hit by something and suddenly fell silent.

  Their eyes met and he smiled, his body swaying unsteadily.

  So, she hadn’t left!

  Gu Meng went forward and held him, her eyes full of tears. “Why did you chase after me?”


  He looked at her red eyes for a long time before saying softly, “I don’t want you to leave.”


  Gu Meng said nothing and helped him back to the ward. She rang the bell to inform the nurse to come over.

  The nurse bandaged his wound and injected him with fluids. He lay on the bed with his eyes open, unwilling to close them.

  Half an hour later, the bodyguard came in. “Miss Gu, your time is up.”


  Ye Qing grabbed Gu Meng’s hand, his pale face tense. “Don’t go.”


  Gu Meng looked at his hand that was holding hers. He was using a lot of strength and his knuckles had turned white. Gu Meng slowly took her hand back from his hand. “I’m relieved that you’re fine. I’ll leave first!”


  “Gu Meng!”


  As if she did not see the panic in his eyes, she pulled her hand back forcefully.

  She got up and left without looking at him again……

  After returning to the capital, Gu Meng and Ling Hui stayed in the villa Cen Xi had arranged for them.

  Cen Xi had even sent bodyguards to protect her.

  Gu Meng returned and told Ling Hui and Cen Xi about her signing the agreement with the Queen.

  When the two of them heard this, they did not understand why she would sign such an agreement. They knew how anxious she had been after Ye Qing was shot!

  Gu Meng poured a glass of lemon water and said as she drank it, “Although he saved me, I haven’t thought about whether I want to be with him again. I still need time.”


  Cen Xi looked at Gu Meng. “If you think about it and plan to return to his side and sign that kind of agreement, the Queen will not agree to you two being together again.”


  Gu Meng put down the cup in her hand and smiled. “Did you forget that apart from being Gu Meng, I’m also Vivian?”


  Ling Hui and Cen Xi both laughed. “You actually tricked the Queen.”
……

  In the Royal Hospital.

  When Qiao Yanze entered Ye Qing’s ward, Ye Qing was awake. He was wearing black pajamas as he sat on the bed. His black clothes made his face look even paler. He looked out of the window and turned back when he heard footsteps. His deep eyes were still strong and aggressive.

  Seeing Qiao Yanze enter, Ye Qing moved his lips. “How’s the investigation going?”


  “The bullet that was taken out from your body is a special one that belongs to K, who was once ranked among the top three killers worldwide. But he announced his retirement more than ten years ago. This time, he fired a shot at Gu Meng when he came back. I think the person who can afford to hire him must have a strong background.”


  “In addition, Tang Xi hacked into Dai Na’s phone and checked her computer. He found that she was not the one who had contacted K.”


  In other words, the person who wanted to kill Gu Meng was not Dai Na.

  “Where’s Ling Motian?”


  “Ling Motian has been busy trying to return to the Ling Corporation recently. He probably doesn’t have time to arrange an assassination.”


  Ye Qing nodded thoughtfully. “When I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll find K personally. I’ll have to trouble you to protect her for the next few days.”
……

  After Ye Qing recovered, Gu Meng’s heart that had been hanging in the air for the past two days finally relaxed.

  The assassin had not been found yet. Young Master Qiao suggested that she stay in the villa and not run around.

  She heard that the person who had tried to kill her was a top-notch killer. She might not be so lucky next time!

  After the video call, Gu Meng went to her room to sleep.

  When she woke up, it was almost dark.

  Ling Hui came out of the room and they met in the corridor.

  “Sister Ling Hui, are you going out?”


  Ling Hui had exquisite makeup on her face and was wearing a dark green long dress. The color made her skin look even fairer. Her slender waist was accentuated by her high slit dress that also showed her slender and long legs.

  Ling Hui smirked. “I’m going to see a friend.”


  The three days Ling Motian had given her were up. He had called countless times today, but she ignored him and he sent another message.

  If she did not sell the company to him tomorrow, he would take a series of actions until her company went bankrupt!

  “Do you want me to go with you?” Gu Meng asked.

  “Be good and stay here.”
……

  In the noisy bar.

  The moment Ling Hui entered, she attracted the attention of many people.

  She turned a blind eye to those who were flirting and whistling at her.

  Under the waiter’s lead, she headed to a private room on the second floor.

  The moment the door was pushed open, the pungent smell of cigarettes and alcohol hit her nose.

  The lights in the room were dim and Ling Hui narrowed her eyes. She looked around and found Zhou Nan, whom she was looking for, sitting on the sofa.

  Ling Hui walked over and sat beside Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan was surprised when he saw Ling Hui. “The Princess really came here?”


  “Have you considered what I told you two days ago?”


  “Let’s go out and talk. Don’t sit here. Someone will be unhappy.”


  It was too noisy in the room and Ling Hui could not hear what Zhou Nan said. Her beautiful face leaned toward him. “What did you say?”


  Zhou Nan looked at Ling Hui’s exquisite face and his heart skipped a beat. No wonder Tang Xi had liked her for ten years. Damn it, she was too beautiful!

  Zhou Nan was about to say it again when he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that the door was pushed open and a man, who had gone out to answer a call, walked in……
