Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1285 - Matchmaking



Chapter 1285: Matchmaking

Xia Ling sat up and wiped away her tears. “Bai Xue, what’s wrong?”

Bai Xue shook her head. The person who sealed your memories was really skillful. I forced my way in and may have injured myself, but don’t worry. I’ll just go to the hospital for some medicine.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“There’s no need…”

“Bai Xue, you got hurt because of me. I have to go with you,” Xia Ling insisted.

In the hospital.

Xuan Ying stood in the corridor with Sikong Heng in front of him.

Sikong Heng was the owner of an apothecary and had just returned from a meeting regarding his business. He had a gray checkered coat on, with a black vest over a custom-made white shirt underneath. His every move was elegant and professional and he looked mesmerizing.

Sikong Heng handed the report over to Xuan Ying. “Silver Mask King, I can confirm that your mother has been poisoned.”

Xuan Ying’s eyes darkened as his aura turned dangerous. “Is there an antidote?”

Sikong Heng nodded. “But I need some time.”

“How long?”

“Three days.”

“Alright. Thank you, Dr Sikong.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

At this moment, Xuan Ying suddenly recalled something. “Dr Sikong, you hypnotized Lingling… is there any chance she would suddenly regain her memories?”

Sikong Heng’s clear eyes shifted as he said, “There’s no one who would be able to unlock that dream.”

It was only then that Xuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if Xia Ling ever regained her memories, she wouldn’t want him anymore. He wanted her to forget the him who was ugly and twisted, the him who was dark and selfish.

At this moment a melodious voice sounded in his ear. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.

“Ying.”

Sikong Heng left with a goodbye. Xuan Ying lifted his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao. “What are you doing here?”

“Ying, your mother is my mother as well, so of course I need to come to visit her. Once mother-in-law wakes up, I’ll take care of her like she’s my own mother,” Shi Xiaoxiao said with a warm smile.

Xuan Ying’s black glassy eyes were like two whirlpools, completely devoid of warmth. But he lifted his hand to pat her shoulder. “Thank you.”

Shi Xiaoxiao quickly wrapped her arms around his slim waist. “It’s nothing much at all.”

This time, Xuan Ying didn’t push her away and let her hug him. He lifted his hand and slid a tracking device into Shi Xiaoxiao’s long hair.

At this moment, Ah Zhou coughed awkwardly and said, “Ms Xia, what brings you here?”

Xia Ling was here

Xuan Ying pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away hastily as his eyes darted to his side. Xia Ling was there, standing in front of him and her beautiful eyes landed on Shi Xiaoxiao.

“Lingling…” Xuan Ying wanted to walk forward.

“Ying,” Shi Xiaoxiao said as she quickly clutched his strong arms and acted even more intimate.

After taking a single glance at them, Xia Ling turned and left.

What the f*ck was this woman doing? Xuan Ying glared furiously at Shi Xiaoxiao. “Did you forget what we said yesterday? I will never marry you!”

He pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away and stormed off after Xia Ling.

Left behind, Shi Xiaoxiao stood frozen, her hands balling into fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her skin.

Xia Ling had come with Bai Xue, who looked at her and asked, “Are you alright?”

Xia Ling’s lips twisted slightly into a wry smile. “I’m fine.”

“Alright, I’ll go get my medication. Wait for me here.”

“Okay.”

Bai Xue turned around and headed to get her medication while Xia Ling remained where she stood.

“Lingling.” At this moment, Xuan Ying ran over.

Xia Ling turned around to look at Xuan Ying. Her chest started hurting again as the memories of Xuan Mu stepping on her and carving the word ‘slave’ onto her face came to the front of her mind. She remembered as he stood to the side. He also gave Shi Xiaoxiao a wedding ring…

But her memories of him stopped on the day of the explosion when he persuaded her, holding her small hands before he plunged the knife straight into his chest.

There was such a fine line between love and hate. Was it possible to both love and hate him at the same time?

“Lingling, let me explain. I don’t have any relationship with Shi Xiaoxiao. I’m sorry I forgot to mention that she was my ex-fiancée but I have no intention of marrying her. The person I love is you.”

As Xia Ling looked at Xia Ling’s handsome face, her voice was calm. “I’ve said that I needed time to think of our relationship and I’ve made my decision.”

Xuan Ying felt his head tighten. “And your answer is?”

“Let’s end things here. Please don’t look for me again.” With that, Xia Ling turned and left.

She said that they were done.

Not only that, she asked him not to look for him ever again.

Xuan Ying’s eyes reddened and he raised his legs to chase after her. “Lingling…”

Spinning around, Xia Ling raised her hands and gave him a tight slap across his face. With a loud smack, Xuan Ying was struck across his entire face.

Xia Ling’s eyes were red as well. She had struck him so hard that her palms were going numb. Without saying anything, she turned and walked away.

Xia Ling turned the corner and collapsed against the wall. She looked upwards and willed her tears to go back into her eyes.

He deserved that slap!

What right did he have to make the decision for her?

Since he had already decided to let her go and live a new life, why did he still insist on staying by her side?

At this moment, a set of footsteps approached her.

When Xia Ling lifted her eyes to take a look, she saw that it was Dr Sikong. Standing up quickly, she gave him a bow. “Dr Sikong, thank you so much.”

Xia Ling emphasized the ‘thank you’ and left.

Sikong Heng’s footsteps faltered and his beautiful eyes were hidden behind a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, glimmering behind them. They were filled with intelligence and warmth but also a slight distance.

He had met countless people before, so there was no way he could mistake the tone of her voice.

Something was amiss.

Sikong Heng smiled faintly and prepared to walk away when he suddenly froze.

He seemed to have figured something out.

But he immediately dismissed the thought. No one in the current medical field could possibly undo his hypnotism and unleash the dream he had sealed.

But Xia Ling was acting strangely.

Sikong Heng turned back around and walked towards where Xia Ling had left from.

Standing on the second floor, he looked down and saw two figures in the crowd. One of them was Xia Ling and she was with another girl.

Sikong Heng looked at the figure beside her. She was in a long black coat, her raven-black hair tied in a ponytail. From the back, she looked cool and chic, just like an orchid.

The two of them quickly vanished from his sight.

At this point in time, the melodious sound of the cell phone ring tone was heard. He had an incoming phone call.

Retracting his gaze, Sikong Heng took his phone out. When he lowered his eyes, his head already started to throb.

It was his mother, Madam Sikong.

“Hello, Mom?”

“Sikong, let me tell you a piece of good news. Mom has found a perfect wife for you. I’ll fly into Country A within these two days. Wear something nice and come with me to have a meal in your future wife’s house.”

“…”

He had no words.

“It’s decided then, Sikong. Don’t you dare date around anymore. If I find out that you’re dating around, you’re no longer my son. We will be meeting them tomorrow at eight.”
