Chapter 406: So Ugly

"Lingling, what’s going on with you?"

It’s the middle of the night and you’re still not asleep, turning over and over, Zhao Jingmiao was also getting restless because of her, "Are you worried about Ma Chuang?"

"No, did I bother you? Sister Xiao Jing." Gu Lingling turned over, "Sorry, I just can’t sleep."

Her mind was full of Yang Yunhai, and all those things he said.

Gu Lingling touched the Jade Pendant around her neck. It was placed there by Yang Yunhai before he left. Gu Lingling didn’t want it, but he insisted on putting it on her, calling it a token of their commitment.

Who does that?

In the darkness, Gu Lingling pouted.

It was only the first day after confessing, she was still grappling with how to tell her family about him, but then he just decides to disappear for a while.

Who conducts a relationship like this?

But even though she complained in her heart, thinking about him made a sweet smile bloom on her face.

Gu Lingling stopped turning over, holding the Jade Pendant Yang Yunhai gave her as she slowly drifted into her dreams.

After parting with Gu Lingling, Yang Yunhai did not rush back to his team, but went to another place, "Yang Zhao, I’m leaving her in your care."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her." Yang Zhao said seriously, "You... don’t worry about things here, just be careful."

Yang Yunhai had never been this cautious before, and Yang Zhao couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

"I know." Yang Yunhai said with a smile, "The feeling of being concerned about someone and being concerned by someone is really wonderful. For her, I’ll come back safely."

Yang Zhao smiled.

He didn’t understand this feeling, because he had never liked anyone, but he was genuinely happy for Yang Yunhai.

When Gu Lingling woke up the next day, she heard Yao Jingsong shouting outside the room, "Gu Lingling, come and see what’s this?"

What?

Gu Lingling was a bit speechless, how did this ugly black bird come here?

Could it be that Yang Yunhai sent it over?

The Black Bird King disdainfully glanced at the sleepy-eyed Gu Lingling. Could this woman not pay a little more attention to her appearance?

It didn’t know what her wise and mighty master was thinking. How could he like this silly girl?

And he even sent it, also wise and mighty, to protect her.

The Black Bird King gave Gu Lingling a very disdainful look.

"This bird is quite ugly." Gu Lingling nodded, "Let’s just keep it then."

What does it mean?

Ugly? Is she talking about the Black Bird King? Does this woman have eye problems?

Think about how many admirers the Black Bird King has, almost all the female birds in the forest are its lovers, okay?

"Sis, why do I feel like it’s looking down on you?" Yao Jingsong laughed and said, "This bird is simply too interesting, it’s so fun."

Then, the Black Bird King gave Yao Jingsong a disdainful look as well.

No wonder they’re siblings, both equally silly.

Yao Jingsong, "..."

Alright, he shouldn’t mock Gu Lingling, because this bird looks down on everyone.

"Has he left?" Gu Lingling looked at the black bird on the tree and said, "You’re so smart, you should be by his side."

He didn’t say it, but she could feel the task this time must be extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to remind her.

The black bird lazily preened its feathers.

At least this silly girl has a conscience and knows to worry about their master.

However, the master’s mind is completely on this girl, so even if it wanted to follow, there’s nothing it can do.
