Black Lotus

Gu Yansheng walked in with heavy footsteps. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Wen Niannan sitting on the sofa drinking milk. His cheeks seemed smaller than before, and the whole body looked haggard.

Aunt Lan hurried over when she heard the car’s sound and said cheerfully, “Mr. Gu welcome back! He is very happy after I told him that you will return every day.”

“What’s up with the commotion? There’s no need to care about him. What does he think this place is? A hotel? He probably went to sleep with another man again during the time he was gone.”

Perhaps he wanted to be heard by the person sitting in the living room. Gu Yansheng’s voice gradually became louder as he spoke. Soon, even Uncle Xu, who was cleaning up a room upstairs, came down just in case these two would quarrel again.

The man sitting on the sofa put down the glass of milk in his hand and slowly walked over.

“After I left the banquet, I went to the hospital and was only discharged today. As soon as I left, you are the first person I wanted to come and see. Now, are you satisfied?”

He was hospitalized? 

Gu Yansheng was a little stunned. Seeing that Wen Niannan told him where he went for the past few days, he just replied coldly, “Are you made from porcelain? Why don’t I see you so weak and fragile at the banquet?”

Having a feeling the situation will soon turn bad again, Uncle Xu interrupted, “What happened? Is it serious?”

Wen Niannan said lightly, “Stomach bleeding.”

Gu Yansheng turned around as soon as he heard the voice. Never did he thought it was so serious.

“Oh my God, it hurt so much.” Aunt Lan wiped her tears with distress.

“Yes, it hurts. It hurts so much, but my heart hurts more,” Wen Niannan laid his hand on his chest, staring straight at Gu Yansheng.

When Gu Yansheng heard this, he understood that Wen Niannan had already seen the video, and naturally guessed that his minimal input in the matter was causing it to become worse.

The two of them stood there in silence. The mood intensified. Worrying that Wen Niannan shouldn’t be excited like this, Uncle Xu said, “Mr. Wen is probably tired. You should have some rest after a bite, and Mr. Gu also hasn’t eaten yet…”

“No need. I’m fed up with the sickening look on his face. Aunt Lan, make me some coffee and bring it up.”

“Yes.”

Gu Yansheng rubbed his temples and walked upstairs irritably. Without even looking at Wen Niannan, he closed the door behind him.

Wen Niannan looked in the direction where Gu Yansheng went, feeling helpless and self-deprecating.

Look… he doesn’t even care where you have been in the past few days. Even after you said that you are hospitalized, he still didn’t show any sense of sympathy. Everyone on the Internet hates you, and this is the difference between you and Shen Luoan.

“Mister, are you ok?” Seeing that Wen Niannan was silent, Aunt Lan asked worriedly.

After returning to reality, Wen Niannan smiled tiredly, “It’s nothing, I’m just a little tired. Let’s go have some food. I already missed your cooking.”

After leaving the hospital, he went to see Dr. Li, who also seen the video on the internet. There wasn’t much that he could do except for angrily complaining how these mindless comments and reposters.

When he went home a few hours later, he met Aunt Lan on her way to buy some groceries, so he drove her to the supermarket in his car.

After coming back, Aunt Lan brought him a cup of milk that he liked the most, and Uncle Xu went upstairs to change bedsheets and quits in the bedroom. Everything was going well until Gu Yansheng showed up…
