A week later, Yang Yunhai still hadnât woken up.
Gu Lingling had already asked for leave from the transformer factory to stay in the Capital City to take care of Yang Yunhai.
During this time, Liu Qing always found various reasons to visit Yang Yunhai. Gu Lingling no longer asked anyone to âescortâ her out as she did the first time.
However, when Liu Qing came again, she wasnât as âdelicateâ as before, offering herself up.
There was a hint of a soldierâs demeanor in her speech now.
Yet her personality was still proud and awkward.
Every time she came over, even though she wanted to chat with Gu Lingling, she would stubbornly wait for Lingling to speak to her first.
Gu Lingling certainly wouldnât cater to her spoiled brat attitude; she just did whatever needed doing.
Zheng Xiangjun only found out later that this Liu Qing was actually a child of the Liu Family. Out of respect for the Liu Family, especially Grandpa Liu, who was an old comrade and had come to express gratitude with his granddaughter in tow,
Zheng Xiangjun found it impossible to reject her outright, but she couldnât muster the same heartfelt affection she had for Gu Lingling.
"Do you think he can hear you when you read to him every day?" Finally, Liu Qing couldnât help herself when she saw Gu Lingling pick up the newspaper again for her daily reading.
Every day at this time, knowing she would come, that girl seemed to deliberately take the newspaper inside to read to Yang Yunhai.
She found it strange. What could a comatose person know?
"Iâm not asking you to read, so mind your own business." Gu Lingling retorted.
Through her interactions with the proud lady Liu Qing over the past few days, she realized you couldnât be polite to her. The more polite you were, the more she stepped all over you.
"You... I bet youâre doing it on purpose," Liu Qing said, a little angrily.
"Sorry, you caught me," Gu Lingling said, unfolding the newspaper and holding her cup as she smiled at Liu Qing and then... went off to read current affairs to Yang Yunhai.
She wouldnât tell her that Yang Yunhai had already shown signs of waking up, like how his finger moved when she washed his face that morning.
Liu Qing, "..."
That damned girl!
No one had ever talked to her like that before. In anger, she glared fiercely at Gu Linglingâs back, not expecting her to suddenly turn around and give her a sweet smile.
Liu Qing was a bit dumbfounded.
She knew this damned girl from the countryside was pretty, but she didnât expect her smile to be so charming.
"Witch, witch," Liu Qing said, "Just you wait, theyâll see your true colors eventually."
Yang Yunhai was totally drawn in by this witchâs allure, how vulgar!
Honestly, a disgrace to their soldiers!
Thinking this way, she seemed to start resenting Yang Yunhai too.
Gu Lingling didnât pay her any mind, replied with âIâll be waiting,â and just continued doing what she was doing.
Liu Qing, having nothing to do outside, would naturally leave.
Sometimes Gu Lingling couldnât figure out what this woman wanted. She came every day like she was inspecting work, then left angry after getting a few retorts from her?
When Zheng Xiangjun and Wang Shuyun came, Gu Lingling was already inside reading the newspaper to Yang Yunhai.
"This child is so good," Wang Shuyun praised, then said to Zheng Xiangjun, "Mom, you know, itâs not good for Lingling to stay like this without a proper title."
"Huh?" Zheng Xiangjun didnât catch on at first.
Was her rough-and-tumble daughter finally clued in? Did she see the story here?
"So I thought, it might be best if I adopted Lingling as my daughter," Wang Shuyun said hopefully.
Zheng Xiangjun, "..."
What kind of troublemaker had she given birth to? Not only was she clueless, but why was she always trying to snatch people from her son?
Yang Yunhai, if you donât wake up soon, your wife is going to be whisked away by your mom!
