A complicated look flashed across Gu Mingcheng’s eyes. He stroked her head and said, “Alright, have a good sleep. Everything will be over when it’s morning.”

A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t know what he meant, but she suddenly didn’t want to think too much about it. This was how it felt to have someone to rely on. She tried to close her eyes. In the past, whenever she thought of this matter, she would find it difficult to fall asleep. This time, she quickly fell asleep.

Gu Mingcheng placed her on the bed and helped her cover herself with the blanket carefully. Then, he got up and went to the other room.

“Cao Ling, go and do something. Give an orphanage two million yuan in cash. Tell them that it’s used for self-help children.” Gu Mingcheng gave a few simple instructions and hung up.

Since they wanted the money, he would give it to them. But whether they could get the money depended on their ability.

After doing all of this, Gu Mingcheng felt mixed emotions. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and placed it in his hand. His eyes were wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking. He only snapped back when his finger was scalded by the cigarette.

He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. Even though he had already decided not to care about her anymore, he still interfered. He also had a feeling that he could not control himself. This feeling made him feel a little vexed.

Forget it. It was for the last time. The matter in the capital should be almost settled. When the time came, it would really be over.

He only returned to the room after his gaze resumed its original coldness.

The woman on the bed was sleeping soundly. The rain was still pouring outside the window, and the lightning kept flickering. He stood by the bed and looked at the woman on the bed. She was not sleeping soundly, and her frown made him want to help her calm down.

Gu Mingcheng held back his restless hands and just watched. The air was filled with this woman’s scent. He had noticed it since the first time they met. The scent on her body made him feel at ease. He probably liked her scent.

Yes, that must be it.

After mentally preparing himself, he laid on the other side of the bed and reached out to hug the woman.

The next morning, when Ye Zhiqing woke up, the man was no longer beside her. She wondered where he had gone. Could he have done something stupid?

She thought about how he had confidently said that she should leave this matter to him yesterday. He was a person with nothing and no money. What could he do? She had been muddle-headed yesterday and actually believed him.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Afraid that he had done something that could not be undone, she took out her phone in a panic to call him. However, no one picked up the phone.

She insisted on calling and was finally picked up on the fifth time. She asked anxiously, “Gu Chen, where are you now?”

Gu Mingcheng had already seen it when his phone rang. He did not pick it up until the fifth time. He said coldly, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Zhiqing was stunned. She could naturally hear the coldness in the man’s words. For a moment, she was speechless. She hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’m fine. I was just worried about you.”

After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the phone after the other party said that he had something to do. She did not know why, but overnight, they seemed to have returned to being strangers.

She laughed at herself. They were in a relationship of interest, and there was nothing intimate about it in the first place. She ignored her disappointment as her phone rang again.

She quickly picked it up, but the smile on her face froze before it could spread. The screen showed the dean. Ye Zhiqing, who didn’t know what she was expecting, paused for a moment before picking it up.

“Dean, what’s the matter?”

“Zhiqing, I just came back from America. I’ve already severely punished Xinxin for what happened that day. Don’t take it to heart with her,” Dean Tian said.

Ye Zhiqing didn’t want to waste any more time on this matter. She wouldn’t let Tian Xin off. This time, she had really offended her. She had already warned her, but she still dared to lure Lin Xiu to her side. “Dean, is there anything else?”

Dean Tian was silent for a moment before he said, “Zhiqing, there’s a patient in the hospital who needs you for surgery now. I know you want to rest, but this patient is very important. I can only let you treat this patient. On account of how I’ve been taking care of you all these years, please accept this patient..”
