CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 201: DIDN’T EXPECT IT WAS YOU

It seemed unexpected to encounter Gu Ningyue in Y City; more surprise than delight filled Ji Qianqian’s eyes, still holding milk tea in her hand.

Gu Ningyue glanced at the two collided cars and pulled Ji Qianqian farther away: "Why are you here? Where is your Sister Qingqing?"

Didn’t Lu Qingqing watch her closely after Ji Qianqian was kidnapped last time? How could she let her be here alone today?

Ji Qianqian looked at her and answered: "Right here in this neighborhood! We’ve been here for several days, sister."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback. Wait a minute, didn’t Lin Ruixian say he would come to Y City for a deal in three days?

Could it be that everything was a lie? Did Cheng Yihan lie?

"When did you come to Y City?"

Ji Qianqian replied: "Half a month ago. Sister, why are you here?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian’s unchanged face and somehow felt the girl in front of her seemed unfamiliar.

"To see Qianqian! Will you take me to see your Sister Qingqing?" Gu Ningyue’s voice was as gentle as it was in the hospital, conveying a calming influence around Ji Qianqian’s ears.

Ji Qianqian, oblivious to any danger, beamed: "Sure, sure!"

Gu Ningyue reached out and sent Lin Ruixian a message before following Ji Qianqian back into the neighborhood.

From the roadside café, Lin Ruixian watched the pair of beauties disappear from view, a meaningful smile on his lips.

Unexpectedly, after her rebirth, Gu Ningyue had gained an unexpected warmth.

If it were before, not to mention a child without full faculties, even someone physically disabled wouldn’t draw a second glance from Gu Ningyue during a mission.

Let alone wanting to protect her!

She had truly changed though sadly, it seemed even Gu Ningyue herself hadn’t noticed.

After twisting through numerous turns into an apartment building, just as the elevator was pressed, seven or eight men in black stepped out.

Seeing Ji Qianqian, the previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed: "It’s Miss Ji! Where have you been? Miss Lu was worried sick!"

Ji Qianqian waved the bag in her hand, "I went to buy milk tea for Sister!"

Seeing Ji Qianqian safe and sound, the men in front clearly breathed a sigh of relief, their gaze casually landing on Gu Ningyue: "And this is?"

Ji Qianqian replied: "My sister’s friend."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue vaguely realized that Ji Qianqian seemed to have changed somewhat.

It wasn’t very apparent just now, but with more people around, it became hard not to notice.

If it were before, Ji Qianqian would be somewhat afraid even when facing people in the hospital, instinctively hiding behind him.

But now, in front of these clearly intimidating people, she responded fluently without a trace of fear.

Could it be that Ji Qianqian’s condition was truly improving?

"But Miss Lu said not to see anyone until we have what we need." The leading man looked hesitantly at Ji Qianqian: "During this period, it’s best not to bring anyone up."

Lu Qingqing’s temper isn’t pleasant, and if she gets really angry, even someone who’s followed her for years couldn’t withstand the consequences.

Saying this, the man in black looked at Gu Ningyue: "Thank you for bringing Miss Ji back, but please leave now!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian, who seemed to understand her meaning, grabbing her arm: "No, if Sister doesn’t accompany me, I won’t go back, I want to be with Sister."

This sentence was much like how she was in the hospital before.

Gu Ningyue felt somewhat relieved, her care hadn’t gone to waste.

Probably having experienced Ji Qianqian’s persistence before, the men exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

After a while, the leader looked at Ji Qianqian: "Miss Ji, please settle down, I’ll call Miss Lu."

Gu Ningyue was about to say something, but Ji Qianqian had already taken her hand and walked into the elevator: "No need, Brother Yun Jin, Sister will agree."

As she spoke, before the others reacted, she had already pressed the sixteenth-floor button.

The leader knew, even if Lu Qingqing said not to let this woman up, Ji Qianqian wouldn’t listen.

At this moment, they were also puzzled about why Ji Qianqian, usually so afraid of outsiders, depended so much on this woman?

With a head full of questions, the group arrived at Lu Qingqing’s current residence.

"Sister, open the door! It’s me!"

After a bout of knocking, Gu Ningyue saw an exceptionally beautiful face.

Regarding her arrival, Lu Qingqing’s response was much like Ji Qianqian’s.

She quickly calmed down, looking into Gu Ningyue’s eyes and asked: "Didn’t expect it to be you, seems you have fate with Qianqian indeed."

Gu Ningyue smiled, her expression calm: "Indeed! Don’t let Ji Qianqian go out alone again, it’s dangerous outside."

Lu Qingqing glanced at the men in black behind her, "You guys go ahead and get busy! Oh, Yun Jin, call the house, I forgot to call back today."

The man named Yun Jin acknowledged with a sound and turned to leave with his team.

"You seem to treat this Yun Jin a bit differently?"

"Yes, he’s been with me for years, very reliable."

As she spoke, Lu Qingqing stepped aside to let Gu Ningyue into the house: "Since you’re here, stay for a while before leaving! I have some things I want to ask you."

Gu Ningyue nodded, casually sitting in the living room’s chair.

The house didn’t look big, but the decor was very classical, evoking a sense of traveling back in time to ancient days.

"Sister, I bought milk tea for you. Hehe~~" Ji Qianqian handed the milk tea to Lu Qingqing, her face filled with innocent joy.

Lu Qingqing accepted it, then wiped the sweat off her forehead: "In the future, no sneaking out, understand? Sister is very worried about you."

Ji Qianqian’s smile faded, she looked a bit aggrieved at Lu Qingqing: "But it’s so stuffy here, sister! I want to go out and play."

Lu Qingqing patted her head: "Be good, we’ll go home in a few days, and you can play with whatever you want, okay?"

Ji Qianqian nodded and sat beside Lu Qingqing, opposite Gu Ningyue.

Sunshine streamed through the window, lighting up the sisters leaning against each other, making them even more dazzling.

One was like the brightest rose, the other like the most delicate lily.

These two women sitting together were truly a delightful sight.

"I went out to do some things earlier, didn’t expect Qianqian to disappear when I came back." Lu Qingqing poured Gu Ningyue a cup of tea, "I don’t know how she slipped past those people, luckily she met you and nothing happened. This time, I owe you one!"

Gu Ningyue softly blew the mist on the teacup, "I just happened to run into her at the neighborhood entrance, Qianqian seems to have changed somewhat from before. Did you find Shangguan Wu?"
