Chapter 498: Strike Hard

Yang Yunhai’s large hand tightly held Gu Lingling’s small hand, pulling her into his embrace.

Hmm...

It seemed he was a bit too eager, and with too much force, it hurt when it hit his chest wound, causing Yang Yunhai to groan softly.

"How are you?" Gu Lingling propped herself up and asked worriedly.

"It hurts a bit." Yang Yunhai said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "You can rub it for me and it’ll be fine."

"Really?" Gu Lingling smiled and placed her hand on his chest, "Shall I give it a try?"

Ouch...

Yang Yunhai’s barely raised mouth hadn’t had time to fall when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

This little girl.

"Forget it, your tough skin hurts my hand." Gu Lingling turned her head angrily not wanting to meet his intense gaze.

"Then let me rub it for you." A cello-like husky, deep voice came over, as his calloused hand massaged her delicate small hand, deliberately asking, "Does it still hurt?"

Gu Lingling blushingly wanted to pull her hand back, but Yang Yunhai wouldn’t give her the chance. How could he just let go of such a hard-earned opportunity?

"Let me go." Gu Lingling said softly, "I need to quickly tell Grandma and Grandpa, so they won’t worry."

"Don’t go, let them keep arguing." Yang Yunhai said casually, "I’m fine, even stronger than before."

How could he not hear the noise outside unless he was deaf?

His mom, really... didn’t even know what to say about her.

Gu Lingling, "..."

Why does it feel like he’s about to start driving at any moment?

"Goddaughter? Hmm?" Yang Yunhai asked with a smile.

"It’s just Aunt feeling pity for me having no mom, don’t be mad at her, she cares about you too, that’s why..." Although Wang Shuyun was influenced by Shen Lingyu a bit and became somewhat suspicious, her intentions were also for Yang Yunhai’s good.

"You’re not angry?" Yang Yunhai asked.

Gu Lingling shook her head, "You’ve already woken up, right? Watch me slap her later, you won’t feel heartache, will you?"

She naturally was not referring to Wang Shuyun, but to Shen Lingyu.

"Slap hard, I’ll only feel heartache for your hurting hand." Yang Yunhai said.

Gu Lingling’s face flushed red.

She noticed this guy seemed to have changed, not only was he being roguish, but his sweet talk was unbearable. She didn’t know whom he learned it from.

"I’ll go call the doctor in." Gu Lingling stood up from the bed with a reddened face and hurriedly opened the door to leave.

Outside, Shen Lingyu was still softly expressing her concerns.

Although Zheng Xiangjun and Wang Fangyi didn’t say anything, those familiar with them knew that the old head was angry, and very seriously so.

When Gu Lingling came out, Shen Lingyu was saying, "Better safe than sorry, we can’t take Brother Hai’s..."

"Doctor Shen?" Gu Lingling walked over smiling, "You’re a doctor, right?"

Shen Lingyu’s originally composed smile had a slight crack, desperately trying to maintain a good image in front of the old couple. Though she wished to tear Gu Lingling apart, she forced a smile and elegantly turned her head to nod.

She just didn’t realize, after those three slaps, her face was red and swollen so bad that any level of elegance looked laughable.

"Aren’t doctors supposed to treat patients and save lives? What? Do you look for excuses in these supernatural legends when encountering difficult cases?"

"Or does Doctor Shen think she’s more capable than the professors and presidents at the Military General Hospital?"
