Gu Sinian ignored her, slowly finished his rice porridge, rinsed his mouth, and then said leisurely, "You didn't sneak out again, did you? Tell me, if I send a message to Lu Heng, will he come and drag you back?"
Luo Wanqing's face immediately fell. "Gu Sinian, are you capable of this? I saved you, and instead of thanking me, you're being ungrateful. Is it easy for me to come out here? Don't think everything is fine just because you're awake. The root of your illness is still there. If I'm not by your side, and you have an attack, even the greatest gods won't be able to save you."
"Root of illness? My health has always been excellent. Do you think I'm as easily fooled as Lu Heng?" Gu Sinian didn't believe her.
"Strictly speaking, it's not an illness, but when it strikes, you fall into a coma, and can only be kept alive with broth. Over time, that broth won't be enough to sustain your body's functions. Slowly, your body will wither and shrink due to lack of sufficient nutrition, and eventually, your internal organs will fail, and you will die," Luo Wanqing said seriously.
Gu Sinian knew Luo Wanqing wouldn't joke about this. It seemed his body really had a problem.
"But can it be cured?" Gu Sinian asked.
"That's hard to say. It depends on luck," Luo Wanqing replied.
Gu Sinian lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. Then, he looked up at Qi Zhenzhen and said, "If something happens to my health, our engagement will be void."
Qi Zhenzhen was stunned. She hadn't expected Gu Sinian to say such a thing.
"You say it's valid, and it's valid? You say it's void, and it's void? I tell you, I disagree!" Qi Zhenzhen's face darkened.
"I cannot implicate you," Gu Sinian said in a deep voice.
"What is implicating, and what is not?" Qi Zhenzhen retorted.
"Stop, stop, stop," Luo Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore. "You two, cut it out. Don't you see I'm still here? Don't you know that showing off your affection leads to a swift demise? Besides, I didn't say I have no way to help you. It's just a bit tricky. Must you be so pessimistic?"
Gu Sinian glared at her coldly. "You are truly as annoying as ever."
Luo Wanqing shrugged, looking smug. "Is that so? But you have to rely on this annoying person now."
Gu Sinian turned his head away, not looking at Luo Wanqing, and lowered his voice. "Zhenzhen, about what I just said, consider it... a fart."
"Heh, Gu Sinian, you truly have no bottom line," Luo Wanqing said sarcastically. "Tsk tsk, Zhenzhen, don't pay attention to this kind of person. So self-important."
Qi Zhenzhen remained calm and asked Zhang Xiaoniu to help Gu Sinian to his feet. "Move around more. Your body will recover faster in all aspects."
After speaking, Qi Zhenzhen lifted the curtain and went out.
Gu Sinian's face was stern, and it was clear he was in a bad mood.
Seeing him like this, Luo Wanqing felt cheerful. "You threatened me, and you still haven't told Lu Heng? If you don't tell him, I can go and help appease your little wife. After all, we hit it off immediately. She will listen to what I say."
Gu Sinian slowly turned his head and stared at Luo Wanqing. "Hit it off immediately?"
"Yes!" Luo Wanqing nodded emphatically. "We have similar personalities."
Gu Sinian's eyes were full of suspicion. How could his Zhenzhen be like this cunning person from Lu Heng's family? However, it was acceptable for her to go and keep Zhenzhen company.
"I'll trouble you," Gu Sinian uttered two words.
"Before I go, you should answer a few questions first," Luo Wanqing said seriously, putting away her teasing.
