2334 His Arrival 2 (1/2)

Was he here to look for Mr. Zhu? Was he trying to get revenge for what he did to the little princess? Perhaps, Gu Xijiu had somehow saved his life without even knowing.

She wanted to sit up but was too weak to do so. With barely any strength left, she decided to stay still on the chair. She acknowledged his arrival with an intense gaze. ”Prince Nianmo,” she greeted smilingly.

Her voice sounded calm, though hoarse. ”Are you here for Yuanyuan?”

Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed onto her wrist firmly and said, ”I am here for you!”

Gu Xijiu kept quiet.

”Why didn't you tell me when you were poisoned?” Di Fuyi was irritated.

She could tell from his grip that his palms were sweaty. Gu Xijiu wanted to pull her hand back but was too weak even to do so.

Blurred by a sudden blackout, she could feel her head spinning. All of a sudden, she felt a sudden rush of blood to her throat. She had to try hard to suppress the urge to spit the blood. With a few deep breaths, she regulated her breathing but still felt dizzy.

”Don't move!” Di Fuyi sounded worried. He continued with a rough and harsh demand, ”Put the past behind aside for now. Let me have a look at your injury.”

Gu Xijiu stayed very still with her eyes closed. She did not resist as he proceeded to read her pulse. She knew herself too well. Although she kept telling herself that they should no longer be in touch, a part of her still hoped for him to stay. She would not say no to him.

She also knew that even though he had found himself a new love, he would never put her in danger.
