The police came and asked Gu Meng some things.

  Gu Meng really could not think of anyone else who had the motive to kill her apart from Dai Na when asked if she had any enemies!

  But if it was really Dai Na, it would be hard to bring Dai Na to justice if they could not catch the person who had shot her.

  After the police finished their questioning, they asked Gu Meng to wait for their news and they would investigate it as soon as possible.

  Gu Meng said nothing, merely looking up at the operating room.

  Her heart tightened at the thought of Ye Qing bleeding profusely.

  She bit her lip hard, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes!

  “Vivian, go and sit for a while!” Ling Hui advised softly. It had been more than two hours since Ye Qing had been pushed into the operating room and Gu Meng had been standing like a statue.

  Gu Meng did not seem to hear Ling Hui’s words and remained motionless.

  Seeing this, Ling Hui could not say anything and accompanied Gu Meng quietly to wait for the result of the surgery.

  Everyone outside the operating theater had their hearts in their mouths.

  After another half an hour, the door of the operation theatre room was finally pushed open.

  Gu Meng’s stiff body wavered. If it wasn’t for Ling Hui, she might have fallen to the ground.

  The doctor said with a serious expression, “The bullet went through his back and was very close to his heart. Although he was saved, he’ll need to be warded in the ICU. If he doesn’t wake up within 24 hours, his life will be in danger!”


  Hearing this, Gu Meng’s heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible hand, making her unable to breathe!

  How could it be like this?

  Who wanted her dead?

  What would she do if Ye Qing could not wake up?

  Ye Qing was pushed into the ICU. Before his condition stabilized, the doctor did not allow anyone to visit him.

  A day passed just like that.

  Gu Meng did not close her eyes until the doctor announced that Ye Qing had passed his critical period.

  Gu Meng let out a long sigh of relief.

  “Vivian, the assassin hasn’t been caught yet and you’re still in danger. The Third Prince’s bodyguard will be guarding him in the hospital. Let Fu Cheng and Young Master Qiao send you back to your apartment first. Take a bath and change your clothes.” Ling Hui held Gu Meng’s cold hand, giving her warmth and strength. “Your younger brother and I will stay here to accompany Little Gugu.”


  Gu Meng shook her head numbly.

  Fu Cheng walked over and looked at her pale face. His heart ached as he said, “Listen to Ling Hui. Go back and take a bath and change your clothes. The Third Prince has passed the critical period. I don’t think he wants to see you like this after he wakes up.”


  Gu Meng looked down at the wedding dress that was stained with blood. She pursed her pale lips and nodded. “Yes.”
……

  Qiao Yanze drove while Fu Cheng sat in the front passenger seat and Cen Xi sat in the back with Gu Meng.

  Back at the apartment, Gu Meng changed her clothes and rushed downstairs, asking Qiao Yanze to take her to the hospital.

  At the hospital entrance, Gu Meng saw Ling Hui and Gu Che coming out of the elevator hurriedly before she could go upstairs.

  Not seeing Little Gugu, Gu Meng’s heart skipped a beat and she had an ominous feeling.

  “Sister, the Queen just sent a helicopter to the top floor of the hospital. The royal family took Brother-in-law and Little Gugu away. Sister Ling Hui and I couldn’t stop them!”


  Gu Meng opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat was dry.

  After a long while, she said, “I’m going to S Country.”


  Gu Meng looked at Ling Hui, her eyes filled with tears. “Sister Ling Hui, I might not be able to work for the time being.”


  Ling Hui nodded in understanding. “I’ll go with you.”


  Without delay, Cen Xi, who was standing beside Gu Meng, immediately called to book a flight.

  Fu Cheng still had work to settle and could not leave, so he did not follow them to the capital.

  After getting on the plane, Gu Meng opened her bag and found that Fu Cheng had secretly put a passbook in her bag.

  There was also a note that said, “Don’t reject it. Take this money for emergencies.”


  After a long flight, they finally arrived in S Country.

  Qiao Yanze helped Gu Meng find out that Ye Qing was resting in the Royal Hospital. Although he had passed the critical period, he had not woken up.

  Gu Meng’s heart tightened again.

  Qiao Yanze found out about Ye Qing’s ward for Gu Meng and found a way to lure away the bodyguards at the door to let Gu Meng enter the ward successfully.

  But the moment she entered, Gu Meng froze.

  There was no sign of Ye Qing in the ward, only the Queen in a wheelchair.

  Seeing Gu Meng enter, the Queen gestured for her to sit down.

  Gu Meng sat opposite the Queen with a complicated feeling.

  The last time they met, she had been determined to leave Ye Qing!

  This time, she came back for him!

  “Miss Gu, you seem to have forgotten your promise to me.” Because he was the Queen’s most beloved grandson, she would never agree to Ye Qing being with a commoner girl to begin with. Besides, in order to save this commoner girl, he had almost lost his life!

  Gu Meng looked down. “I’m sorry.”


  “You don’t have to apologize. Just sign this agreement.” The Queen placed a document in front of Gu Meng.

  The content of the agreement was to let her stay away from Ye Qing in the future. Even if Ye Qing refused to give up, she could not return to his side!

  Gu Meng looked at the agreement and her heart almost stopped.

  Her fingers that were holding onto the agreement turned pale.

  It seemed like a century had passed before Gu Meng looked up at the Queen, who was waiting patiently for her decision. “I can sign the agreement, but can I see him again?”


  “Yes.”


  Gu Meng did not notice that there was a black glass in the ward. The people standing behind the glass could see everything in the ward and hear what they were saying, but the people outside could not see what was happening inside.

  At this moment, a tall black figure was standing behind the glass.

  After Ye Qing woke up, he found out that the Queen had sent someone to bring him back to the capital.

  He wanted to contact Gu Meng immediately, but the Queen made something like a bet.

  She bet that Gu Meng did not love him anymore. Even if she came to see him, it would only be out of guilt.

  She had prepared an agreement. If Gu Meng signed the agreement, she would not allow them to have any contact. If Gu Meng did not sign it, she would not interfere in their relationship anymore!

  Ye Qing originally did not agree to the Queen testing Gu Meng’s feelings for him, but he understood the Queen. If he did not agree, she would have countless ways to separate them.

  He had taken that bullet for Gu Meng. She had revealed her true feelings in that moment and he felt that she would not sign that agreement.

  However, he had not expected such an outcome.

  Seeing her sign her name, his weak body shook unsteadily.

  After Gu Meng signed the agreement, the Queen glanced in the direction of the glass window.

  Her eyes told Ye Qing that she had won the bet!

  Even if he took a bullet for Gu Meng, she would only be apologetic but not love him anymore!

  A metallic taste filled Ye Qing’s throat and he fainted from anger and weakness.

  After signing the agreement, the Queen agreed to let Gu Meng visit Ye Qing in half an hour.

  Gu Meng walked around the hospital and bought some of Ye Qing’s favorite fruits.

  Half an hour later, Gu Meng arrived at the ward.
