Chapter 211 - 211 Queen
211 Queen
Old Master Cui asked a series of questions, the heartache and worry on his face obvious.
Gu Man knew that the old man really missed her, so she replied good-naturedly, “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”
With that, Gu Man felt exhausted. Her head was dizzy and fatigue enveloped her entire body.
Xiang Yin took action at the right time. His slender hands held Gu Man’s waist. “Go back first.”
His words and actions successfully attracted Old Master Cui’s attention. Old Master Cui looked around. He was surrounded by the most elite police force in Han City. It was not something ordinary people could mobilize easily.
“Did you bring these people here?” Old Master Cui asked Xiang Yin.
Xiang Yin said concisely, “Yes.”
“Old Master Cui, he’s the Second Young Master of the Xiang Family, Xiang Yin,” Uncle Li reminded Old Master Cui.
“I know. I’ve met him,” Old Master Cui said calmly, not giving Xiang Yin a good attitude because of his identity.
He sized up Xiang Yin, his expression becoming more and more unfriendly. Could this kid be thinking about his granddaughter?
A toad lusting after swan meat!
Old Master Cui narrowed his eyes and shot a sharp gaze at Xiang Yin. Xiang Yin was as motionless as a bell and there was no fluctuation on the surface.
“Leave Gu Man to me. I’ll send her to the hospital under the Cui Family.”
Old Master Cui reached out and asked Xiang Yin for her.
Xiang Yin rejected decisively. “The Xiang Family invested in the best hospital in Han City. Gu Man coming with me is the best choice.”
Hmph, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering a wolf’s den if she handed it to him?
Old Master Cui was immediately dissatisfied. Just as he was about to argue with Xiang Yin for another two rounds, Gu Man broke the stiff and awkward scene between the two of them. “Old Master Cui, I’ll leave with Xiang Yin.”
“It’s getting late. Xiang Yin is young and can endure it. Your health is more important. Go back and rest first,” Gu Man advised, attracting Old Master Cui’s complicated gaze.
Seeing that Old Master Cui wanted to say something but he hesitated, Gu Man continued, “Old Master Cui, I’ll only be at ease if you go back early.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a smile immediately appeared on Old Master Cui’d face. Look, his granddaughter knew how to care for others!
“Alright, alright, alright.” Old Master Cui waved his hand. “I’ll leave first. Gu Man, if there’s anything, contact Uncle Li at any time. Our Cui Family is not inferior to others!”
In the end, Old Master Cui still had to mock Xiang Yin. His gaze never left Xiang Yin.
Xiang Yin’s expression was still indifferent, as if he did not see Old Master Cui’s murderous gaze.
After Old Master Cui brought her away, before Xiang Yin could look down at Gu Man in his arms, Gu Man took the lead and left his arms.
“Is my embrace poisonous?” Xiang Yin sighed helplessly.
“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other,” Gu Man said without thinking. “Thank you for tonight.”
“You’re welcome,” Xiang Yin replied. He did not want to hear Gu Man say “thank you”.
He thought that his relationship with Gu Man was already considered a friend, but from Gu Man’s point of view, he still seemed to be a stranger.
There was always a mysterious and distant feeling about Gu Man, as if no one could really walk into her heart.
Xiang Yin was deeply fascinated by Gu Man’s mysteriousness, but he also had a headache because of the distance.
“What about your two friends?” Xiang Yin changed the topic and turned to Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yi.
Xiao Xiao had yet to recover from tonight’s ups and downs. She sat on the ground and trembled.
Jiang Yi was afraid, but he was in a much better state than Xiao Xiao. He helped Xiao Xiao up from the ground and the two of them came to Gu Man’s side.
“I’m sorry I didn’t help you.” Jiang Yi lowered her head, her voice a little low.
“Wuwuwu, Gu Man, you’re too nice. If not for you, I would have died today!” Xiao Xiao looked at Gu Man and sobbed. “Gu Man, from now on, you’re my heroine! My queen!”
Her Queen?
Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.
Recalling the scenes of her interactions with Gu Man, be it fighting with the Gu Family or the skills and vigor she usually displayed, this title suited Gu Man.
“I’ll send someone to send you back,” Xiang Yin said to Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi looked straight at Xiang Yin. “What about Gu Man?”
“You don’t have to worry,” Xiang Yin replied calmly.
