Chapter 197 - Lin Zhou: Zhuo Li (1) (1/2)

The next day, Yao Ling was feeling refreshed because she had a good night sleep. On the other hand, Yao Ying's eyes were a bit swollen and red due to the lack of sleep. He kept yawning and Yao Ling felt guilty because of that.

”Are you okay?” Yao Ling asked. She didn't know when she fell asleep yesterday... but she left her husband in pain! Yao Ling already planned to help him find a release but failed to do so. She took a glance at his little Yao Ying and it seemed like Yao Ying had already handled it all by himself --- it made her feel even guiltier.

She was the one who gave him the medicine and she should have been the one who healed him, and yet... she fell asleep in a heartbeat. A few days of treating Qing Hui indeed took a toll on her body. She needed her beauty sleep.

Yao Ying smiled. ”I'm fine.” He patted Yao Ling's head dotingly.

”I'm sorry. I should have been the one who...” She trailed off.

”It's okay. You can give me a compensation next time,” Yao Ying said mischievously.

Yao Ling blushed but she still nodded shyly. ”Okay...” Yao Ling remembered how last night she had behaved braver than usual and somehow bewildered by herself. She didn't know that it was because of the perfume's effect. If she knew, she would probably throttle Xiao Fang to death.

To distract Yao Ling's mind from her guilt, Yao Ying told her what happened at the corridor. She laughed when Yao Ying told her how they accused them doing sėxuȧŀ endeavor at the corridor. ”Serve them right!” She said cheerfully. It lightened up her mood.

Yao Ying sighed in relief when he knew that Yao Ling was now in a better mood. He didn't blame her about the medicine so he also didn't want her to blame herself.

”Do you still need to give acupuncture to Qing Hui later?”

Yao Ling shook her head. ”No... he has passed the critical moment and he already gets better. I put him into a deep sleep for a few days. Yesterday, I tried to wake him up, but his mind was still disorderly and it's not safe for him to stay awake until his condition is a bit better. I think in a few days... he should be able to talk.” She explained Qing Hui's latest condition.

Yao Ying nodded. ”We are not in a hurry, so it should be fine.” They had another urgent matter to attend to first, Qing Hui's matter could wait --- at least, they had Hei Yue to tend to him.

After finished eating breakfast, they prepared to set out when someone was looking for them. Xiu whispered to Yao Ying about the man's identity and Yao Ying quickly let him in. ”Ling-er, the man has come back. I hope he will tell us a piece of good news.”

”Which man?” Yao Ling asked in confusion.

Yao Ying gave her a pointed look and she seemed to understand this man's identity.

Yao Ling was surprised. ”This fast?”

”I think he's a bit desperate,” Yao Ying guessed. ”Besides, he's all alone so it must be easier for him to move around.”

”Hmm... probably...” Yao Ling nodded.

The man entered and this time, he didn't wear his black ȧssassin clothes. Yao Ying wouldn't know who he was if Xiu didn't tell him his identity in the first place. The man was quite handsome but they knew that he was a bit of a coward, however in his ordinary clothes, he looked like a fine young man with a gentle personality. Too gentle perhaps and it made Yao Ling wonder why he chose to become an ȧssassin.
