Chapter Nine, merely sitting idly without any particular purpose

The man helped her to her feet and said gently, "Aunt Luo, how could I possibly deceive you? Please do not be sad. I will return to the clinic and personally prepare two doses of medicine for Mei'er. I assure you that she will be fine when she wakes up."

While walking on the stairs, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and glanced around. There was no one in sight, and he couldn't help but frown. Why did it feel like someone was watching him?

Accustomed to waking up early, she did not linger in bed. After freshening up, she planned to go downstairs to help Luo Huaixiu with her tasks. However, when she opened the door, she suddenly froze in place.

Yun Qing raised her chin slightly, indicating outside the door, "Who else could it be, but the young master who resides here."

Looking at the people in the room, she propped herself up to rise, "Mother, how did Second Senior Brother arrive?"

Luo Mei lay back on the bed with a blank expression, not saying anything more. ... She was awake, but her mind involuntarily recalled the scene of her going upstairs ...

Her obedient treasure

Luo Mei's face is dark

Yun Qingchao clasped her hands and smiled, saying, "No, Aunt Luo, my master has recently gone out, and I must guard the clinic in his stead"

After a night's rest, although Luo Mei's complexion was still somewhat poor, her spirits had mostly recovered

Luo Mei was momentarily taken aback, and then she looked at his refined face, "Senior Brother, which young master saved me?"

Nangong Zihen stood with his hands behind his back, and his cold, piercing gaze suddenly shifted to the face of the person on the bed and the *illustrated* book.

The person holding her will neither be her mother nor the second senior brother; the only people living in this building are just a few of them, so it is not difficult to guess who reached out a hand to her

Seeing him sit down at the table with an air of arrogance and a chill surrounding him, Luo Mei instantly elongated her face and asked again, "Is there something you need?"

Luo Huaixiu felt somewhat disappointed, "Well then, I won't keep you any longer. When you have some free time, come over, and Aunt Luo will definitely prepare delicious food for you"

Thank heavens

Yun Qing got up and took another look at her before leaving her boudoir

Nangong Ziheng wore a grim expression, his gaze fixed on her with a dark and icy intensity

Just as Luo Huaixiu became increasingly confused and could not understand what he intended to do, he suddenly turned around and left his daughter's boudoir without looking back

Upon hearing this, Luo Huaixiu stopped crying, squatting beside him and pulling at him in disbelief, "Is it true? Yunqing, Mei'er is really okay?"

Sensing the chilly air, she frowned inwardly. This person was truly perplexing; he had saved her beloved child, and yet she had sincerely expressed her gratitude. Was that not enough? What more did he want from her?

An hour later, Luo Mei finally awakened

Yun Qing furrowed her brows, and her gentle expression suddenly turned somewhat serious. "You, truly, are too impulsive. Knowing it is poisonous, how could you test it on yourself? Look, you have frightened Aunt Luo. If something were to happen to you, what would Aunt Luo do? Fortunately, that young gentleman arrived in time to help you expel the poison; otherwise, even if the master were present, it would be difficult to save your life.

Looking at the man outside the door, she slightly furrowed her brow and asked, "Is there something?"

Luo Mei shook her head, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother, I am fine now."

Having lost her daughter, she truly does not know how to go on with her life in the days to come

Nangong Zihen's expression grew even colder.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Certainly, certainly"

Upon hearing this, Luo Huaixiu's anxious heart finally returned to its original state. Overcome with joy, tears once again streamed down her face as she rushed to the bedside and sobbed quietly on her daughter's body.

Yun Qing smiled gently and said, "What is there to thank for? You are being too formal."

She treats everyone this way, never seen her smile or speak much, Yun Qing has also gotten used to it. After Luo Huai Xiu left, she sat down on the stool by the bed and gently asked, "How are you? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"

The man who was taking the pulse of Zhi Luo Mei always felt uncomfortable in his back. When he turned around, he suddenly realized that there was another person in the room. Facing the cold, sharp gaze of Nangong Zihen, he was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat perplexed.

"Yunqing, what happened? Is it about Mei'er..." Luo Huaixiu could not finish her sentence as she choked up and began to cry, already mentally prepared to accompany her daughter.

Seeing him lost in thought, Luo Huaixiu could not help but urge, "Yunqing, you must show Meier quickly, do not let anything happen to her..." Worried for her daughter, she became increasingly agitated, tears streaming down her face, "I only have this one daughter; if anything were to happen to her, I wouldn't want to live anymore..."

He was tall and imposing, exuding an inscrutable chill, like a cold stone statue blocking her door. She felt a twinge of annoyance in her heart, and her tone turned somewhat frosty, "Make way."

"Aunt Luo, Mei'er is fine now," the man comforted her, pointing at the filth on the ground. "Fortunately, these things have been expelled from Mei'er's body, and the poison has not entered her heart or spleen. Mei'er is only temporarily unconscious; she will be fine once she wakes up."

She is not fond of speaking, and Yunqing is aware of this. Seeing that she has nothing to do, he then stands up, "While the master is not at the clinic, these few should take good care of themselves. I should also return, as there are still some matters waiting for me at the clinic"

Little did anyone know, Nangong Ziheng not only did not retreat, but instead suddenly stepped forward and walked towards her room

Luo Mei's expression darkened, unable to comprehend what he intended to do. He appeared like a ghost early in the morning, and any good mood was lost.

She admitted that she truly had her eye on this gentle and refined second senior brother for her precious one. Not only is he handsome and good-looking, but he also has a good temper and is patient. Such a man would be the most suitable husband. ... Unfortunately, her precious one just lacks feelings

Luo Huaixiu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Today, I am truly grateful to you for saving my dear child, thank you"

Seeing her run out like the wind, Luo Mei wanted to stop her but it was already too late

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly opened her mouth, but upon seeing Luo Huaixiu and Yun Qing in the room, the words she intended to say were abruptly swallowed back. Why ask so clearly? She had saved him, and he had saved her; wasn't that just as it should be?

Luo Mei turned to the man at the table and politely thanked him, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother"

Luo Mei suddenly pressed her lips together, lowering her gaze and falling silent... It really is him...

The man then focused his attention. After taking the pulse, he looked at the uncleaned filth on the ground, walked over, and squatted down to examine it carefully for a moment

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, even more sincerely than before, "Thank you so much for your time, and I truly apologize for taking up so much of it. Please go back first, and I will have someone bring food to your room shortly."

"Good child, are you hungry?" Seeing her daughter open her mouth, Luo Huaixiu thought she wanted to eat something, "Just wait, mother will bring the food right away"

Luo Mei nodded and said, "I know, thank you for your concern, Second Senior Brother"

Luo Huaixiu blinked, unable to understand why he looked this way. She had already thanked him, what more did he want?

The young man named Yunqing has left, and the room has quieted down. Luo Huaixiu gradually regained her composure. Looking up from her daughter, she wiped the corner of her eye and only then noticed that there was still someone in the room. She turned around and asked, "Oh, why are you still here?"

Luo Huaixiu was speaking with Yun Qing when she noticed that Yun Qing had woken up. With surprise, she stepped forward and gently pushed her back onto the bed, saying, "Good girl, don't move around, just rest well... Your second senior brother is the one I found for you. I heard that you were poisoned, and your second senior brother even personally prepared medicine for you. Thank heavens, you are finally alright."

Looking at his tall and straight silhouette, Luo Huaixiu sighed, still feeling disappointed. What a fine young man, but unfortunately her precious child just doesn't understand!

In the room, there were only her and Yunqing.

Nangong Zihen stood with his hands behind his back, his thin lips pressed together, and his deep gaze fixed directly on her somewhat pale face

As he approached with his masculine physique, Luo Mei instinctively took two steps back, inadvertently allowing him to enter the room

It's good that there is nothing wrong

Luo Huaixiu was carrying a food tray as she was going upstairs. Upon seeing him coming down, she hurriedly said, "Yunqing, are you leaving already? Why not stay tonight? I will tidy up the room right away."

Nangong Zihen cast her a sidelong glance, his deep voice cold and firm, "It's nothing, just sitting here."
