Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 539 Why doesn't she remember you? Don't you know?

Gu Juncheng's face turned ashen. He turned around and saw Liang Jiaqi carrying a bag of fruit as she walked in. When she saw Gu Juncheng, she instinctively shrank back.

Just as Gu Juncheng was thinking to himself, his face green with embarrassment, "You know you can't face me," Lin Qingping called out, "Liang Jiaqi!"

Liang Jiaqi, who had shrunk back halfway, immediately rushed back in, waving the bag she was carrying at her, "I bought it."

However, with just a wave of his hand, Liang Jiaqi made the fruit bag disappear instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the bag in Liang Jiaqi's hand was gone.

Liang Jiaqi stared blankly at her hands when Gu Juncheng's voice rang out, "She'd better not eat anything raw or cold right now."

Anyway, Gu Juncheng himself didn't see how dark his face was, but Lin Qingping did, and she was terrified by him. She quickly interjected, "I asked him to buy it. I want to eat it, I want to eat it, don't scold him!"

Gu Juncheng almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He put the fruit aside and turned to look at Lin Qingping. If he weren't afraid of startling Lin Qingping, he would have thrown the whole bag of things in the trash!

Now, he could only sit on the edge of the bed and listen to her plead with him with a frown, "Comrade Gu, don't be angry. It's really because I wanted to eat it. I feel like I haven't eaten these fruits in a long time, so I asked him to buy them. If you want to scold me, then scold me."

"When have I ever scolded you?" Gu Juncheng was extremely helpless, but he could only speak softly to her, "Do you think our family is so poor that we can't afford fruit? Is it that I don't want to buy it for you?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not eating anymore." Lin Qingping said to him, but her eyes glanced at Liang Jiaqi behind him, and she waved her hand, signaling Liang Jiaqi to leave quickly.

That situation was just like a child flirting with their parents while doing something naughty!

Gu Juncheng felt the mouthful of blood he had finally managed to swallow rise up again.

Lin Qingping looked at his expression and remained silent. Anyway, Liang Jiaqi had already left. She pulled the blanket over her face.

Gu Juncheng pulled her blanket off, and looking at her bewildered yet evasive eyes, a sense of powerlessness enveloped him.

"Lin Qingping," he said softly, "Am I really that fierce in your eyes?"

Lin Qingping shook her head. "No, I remember you. Although you are old, you are a good person."

Old age...

It would have been better not to say that at all!

"Are you and Liang Jiaqi... very close?" he couldn't help but ask.

His impression of Liang Jiaqi was limited to those years at Capital University. He knew that some people had many, many years of interaction with him, a period of accumulated time that he could only dream of.

Lin Qingping isn't stupid; she knows he doesn't like hearing about Liang Jiaqi. Would she still bring it up?

She just shook her head. "I want to sleep. I'm so tired."

Gu Juncheng watched her close her eyes in evasion, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while, not knowing whether she had fallen asleep or not, he held her hand and said again, "Lin Qingping, you and Liang Jiaqi have nothing to do with each other."

Lin Qingping ignored him, as if she were already fast asleep.

Gu Juncheng was quite helpless. He got up and said to his second sister, "I'll stay here tonight. You go back and rest."

The second sister refused, saying, "My eldest sister is used to my taking care of her; she doesn't trust you."

Speaking of this, Gu Juncheng was also troubled. He couldn't help but say to his second sister, "Why does she only remember Liang Jiaqi?"

"You mean, why do you remember Liang Jiaqi but not you?" the second sister retorted. "Don't you ask yourself why? Everyone likes to remember good things; who wants to keep remembering sad things?"

Gu Juncheng was speechless after being rebuked by her.

"Hurry up and go, don't be late or another one with the fragrance of orchids and osmanthus will come!" the second sister said irritably.

He was taken aback by his second sister's words, but had no words to reply. After a moment of silence, he simply said, "Well then, thank you for your hard work."

The second sister started chasing people away.

Gu Juncheng had no choice but to leave the ward.

After taking two steps away, I looked back and saw that my second sister had already closed the ward door.

In the end, they could only leave in frustration.

He was her closest person, but now he couldn't even get close to her. Today was the best treatment he could receive; he could sit down next to her and say a few words, even though the conversation wasn't what he liked. As for staying by her side to take care of her, that was wishful thinking on his part.

She only trusted her second sister...

He was anxious, both for her surgery and for her current condition. When he saw Liang Jiaqi at the door of the department, his already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

But Liang Jiaqi smiled at him, and he, who hadn't wanted to pay any attention to her, stopped in his tracks.

"How did you end up here?" The tone was very rude.

Liang Jiaqi has been back in his hometown for three years, helping his father run the shop, but he still looks like a young man, full of youthful vigor.

Looking at Liang Jiaqi's fair skin and handsome young appearance, he suddenly realized that Liang Jiaqi was only twenty-five years old, in the prime of her life, while he was almost forty...

For some reason, he found Liang Jiaqi even more displeasing.

Liang Jiaqi, dressed in the most fashionable clothes of the moment, with her large bell-bottoms sweeping the ground, swayed all the way to him. "I'm here to open a shop. I still have to open the shop in the capital. I just got here and heard that Pingzi is sick, so I came to see her."

Gu Juncheng sneered, "Just because she's the apple of your eye doesn't mean she's your child?"

Liang Jiaqi shrugged. "This isn't my fault, brother. What did you do that made her forget who the father of the child is?"

Gu Juncheng felt a tightness in his chest.

"That's between her and me, it has nothing to do with you, so don't meddle!" Gu Juncheng said with a cold face, trying to hide the turmoil in his heart.

“That’s not true.” Liang Jiaqi shook her head and said, “I remember you hurt her before we graduated. She finally came back to you, and now that I’m back after three years, you’re still hurting her. If you can’t give her happiness, then someone else has the right to give her happiness!”

“You…” Gu Juncheng grabbed Liang Jiaqi’s collar in anger.

Liang Jiaqi's expression remained unchanged as she pointed to his hand, "Giving someone happiness comes from sincere dedication, not from using force to defeat your opponent! What would Pingzi think if she saw this?"

Gu Juncheng tightened his grip on his collar, but then Lin Qingping's words echoed in his ears: "He's old and rude..."

He loosened his grip and strode away, moving as fast as the wind, his face extremely tense.

Gu Juncheng did not go home, but went down two floors to another department.

He found the ward with practiced ease; the door was open, and he went straight in…
