Gu Chen was actually already awake, but it was not appropriate for him to suddenly wake up and make all three of them feel awkward.

Hearing Lu Ning call him, he bolted up from the sofa and walked over to Huo Jinyan.

He looked at his abdomen and pondered for a while. He had no idea if his injury would recover.

Huo Jinyan had an arm on Lu Ning’s shoulder.

Lu Ning looked at Gu Chen. “Take a look at him.”

Gu Chen took his arm off Lu Ning’s shoulder and looked into Huo Jinyan’s eyes.

“Let me support you, Teacher Huo.”

Huo Jinyan looked at him with a brooding gaze.

Huo Jinyan followed Gu Chen to the back. Lu Ning looked at Lin Ci, who was standing stock still by the door.

Lin Ci looked at her, pointing at Lu Ning before pointing in Huo Jinyan’s direction. In the end, she did not say anything and walked in, asking Lu Ning, “Are you alright, Ning’ning?”

Lu Ning looked at her and smiled. “It’s fine. Teacher Huo saved me.”

Seeing that she was fine, Lin Ci heaved a sigh of relief. “I was afraid that they would skin you alive when I saw you from upstairs.”

Lu Ning could not help but laugh. Her gaze landed on her wrist and her eyes lit up. “Little Ci, this bracelet is really pretty. Is it a birthday present from someone?”

Lin Ci was startled when she heard that. She looked down at her own wrist.

A moment later, she came back to her senses and looked at Lu Ning. “Yes, someone gave it to me. Ning’ning, have you seen anything with a similar style before?”

She stared at Lu Ning, not missing the slightest change in expression on her face.

Lu Ning took her hand and looked at it carefully. The bracelet was a deep viridian, and the insets on it did not appear modern.

Lu Ning looked at Lin Ci. “Little Ci, did the person who gave it to you tell you the origin of this bracelet?”

Lin Ci shook his head. “No, they only said it’s a present.”

Lu Ningting looked at her solemnly. “Why don’t I bring you somewhere to appraise it another day? This bracelet is an antique. They can appraise it and tell you when it’s from.”

Her expression was earnest and did not seem faked at all.

Lin Ci simply nodded and said, “Okay.” Lu Ning looked at her darkened expression. “Little Ci? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Huh?” Lin Ci was a little perplexed.

“You don’t look too good. Have Gu Chen take a look at you.”

Lin Ci quickly perked up and stopped dwelling on it. She smiled at Lu Ning. “I’m fine. I’m just worried about you and was a little frightened.”

“I’m alright, don’t worry”

Lin Ci nodded.

Gu Chen was wearing a face mask and gloves. He looked at Huo Jinyan’s abdomen, and then at Huo Jinyan, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

“You’re pretty good at acting.”

Huo Jinyan looked at him. “So are you.”

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, then began to disinfect his wound.

“I’ll remind you, Ning’ning doesn’t like people lying to her.”

Huo Jinyan looked at him in surprise.

Gu Chen did not stop moving his hands. “Don’t look at me, I can tell what you’re thinking. I can also tell what you think of Ning’ning.”

He suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinyan, a glint in his eyes. “Men know other men the best.”

Then, he continued with the treatment.

Huo Jinyan was a little curious and looked at him. “Didn’t you hate me?”

Gu Chen chuckled. “Was it that obvious?”

It was easy to notice that he was being hated.

Gu Chen sighed and replied seriously, “I only want the best for her.”

He had Huo Jinyan investigated before, and Huo Jinyan was indeed a very dangerous person; however, sometimes the safest place to be is to be where the danger was. Moreover, he had also investigated Huo Jinyan deeply, even looking into his family ancestry..
