Chapter 2087: Reunion with Helian Jing

Gu Zhiqi spoke, reaching out to circle Su Yunling’s waist, and looked up at him with a seemingly obedient expression, "I’m not a fool, why would I blindly put myself in danger."

Su Yunling lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, "But seeing you get hurt, I get so worried, my heart aches."

Gu Zhiqi paused after hearing that.

Secretly thinking to herself, next time she would do it behind Su Yunling’s back.

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Su Yunling’s voice sounded in her ear, "Don’t think of doing such things behind my back next time, or else, whenever you’re not with me, I’ll worry about you constantly."

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

This guy, does he have mind reading technique?

Anyway, it directly dispelled the thought in her mind.

Then, she replied seriously, "Who said I wanted to do it behind your back, you’re just guessing randomly."

Su Yunling, knowing her well, laughed and said, "Yes, you didn’t say that, I’m just guessing randomly."

Not long after Gu Zhiqi woke up, Hua Yan, Helian Jing, and Aunt Meng arrived.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi awake, all three expressed great surprise and spoke up, "Master, you’re awake?"

"Qiqi, you’re awake?"

Gu Zhiqi glanced at the three of them and finally fixed her gaze on Helian Jing.

Seeing the gentle and soft aura she emitted, along with the affectionate expression in her eyes, Gu Zhiqi’s gaze flickered with a trace of confusion, "Are you... under the influence of aphrodisiac?"

Helian Jing: ?

The smile on her face nearly faltered.

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Hua Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Hua Yan’s laughter, Helian Jing’s smile finally broke, and her face drooped instantly.

Nonetheless, the tender look in her eyes remained, and she gazed at Gu Zhiqi with a resentful expression.

Which made Gu Zhiqi feel somewhat uneasy.

"Qiqi, how could you say that about me?"

Saying this, she took a step forward to approach Gu Zhiqi, but stopped when she saw Su Yunling guarding beside the bed.

Gu Zhiqi lazily leaned against the headboard, saying, "Not under any drug, why look at people with that expression?"

She recalled that this person used to have a poker face.

Why, after three years of not seeing her, she uses a lovesick gaze to look at everyone.

Hearing this, Helian Jing’s face stiffened for a moment, then drooped completely, yet the tenderness on her face simply wouldn’t fade, "Is there something wrong with me being like this?"

"You all used to say I had a poker face, I’ve practiced for so long to become like this."

Once Helian Jing said this, Hua Yan chimed in, "Practiced? You really dare to say that."

Speaking these words, Hua Yan looked at Gu Zhiqi, adding, "She drank her own concocted potion, turning her expressionless face into one full of tenderness."

Helian Jing: "...Hua Yan."

Gritting her teeth as she looked at Hua Yan.

Yet her gentle expression lacked any real threat.

Hua Yan continued to expose Helian Jing’s secrets to Gu Zhiqi, "Not only that, a while ago, she began researching charm techniques. These days, she’s been causing trouble everywhere, she almost tried... um."

Helian Jing didn’t let Hua Yan finish saying those words.

Afraid Hua Yan would spill something she shouldn’t.

For instance, she did indeed have the idea of using charm technique on Su Yunling just now.

After all, it seemed quite challenging.

But she didn’t dare in the end, did she?

Although she didn’t dare to use it, she couldn’t let Gu Zhiqi know, otherwise...

She might end up with medicinal pills.

"Qiqi, don’t listen to her nonsense. You know, this guy just dislikes me and loves to discredit me everywhere." Helian Jing said to Gu Zhiqi, slightly guilty.
