Chapter 847: Chapter 843

Gu Xiaoning’s eyes split open; she knew there was no escaping today. Well then, if she had to die, so be it!

Her other leg also stepped out, "Mom, Xiaozheng, I can’t take care of you anymore! Asheng, see you in the next life!"

With a whooshing sound, Gu Xiaoning jumped down!

...

In the yard, Le Zhengsheng had just walked to the entrance of the main building when he saw something falling from upstairs.

A woman in a white nightgown, drifting down like a butterfly!

A chill shot through Le Zhengsheng’s heart. "Ningning!"

He rushed over; Gu Xiaoning was already sprawled on the ground!

"Ningning!" Le Zhengsheng’s eyes almost split as he stepped up and scooped Gu Xiaoning into his arms.

Below was lawn, and the second floor wasn’t actually that high.

Gu Xiaoning was in so much pain her teeth were bared; being picked up by Le Zhengsheng tugged at her wounds even more, yet she still smiled, "Asheng... sheng..."

"Ningning!" Le Zhengsheng was eaten up with regret. Why had he only rushed over now? He shouldn’t have hesitated, shouldn’t have overthought it!

Gu Xiaoning’s tears fell with little plops as she sobbed, "Isn’t this a dream? Why does it hurt so much! But if it’s not a dream, how is Asheng here?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng froze for a second; hearing her words made his heart ache like crazy. "Ningning! This isn’t a dream, Asheng is here, Asheng is here!"

"Wuu wuu..."

Gu Xiaoning lifted her hand and covered her head; her palm instantly turned bright red with blood, scaring her half to death. "Th-this... what is this? Is my head broken?"

"Idiot!"

Le Zhengsheng growled; it sounded like scolding, but it was mostly self-blame. "Your head’s not broken, otherwise how would you even manage to jump off a building? You’re even dumber than Xiaozheng!"

"Wuu wuu..." Gu Xiaoning cried from the pain, but also sounded terribly wronged. "Why are you snapping at me? You’re always snapping at me!"

Le Zhengsheng held her. "How am I snapping at you? I’m snapping at myself!"

"Yo!"

Fifth Master came out from inside; seeing this scene, his face twisted ferociously. "What’s the meaning of this? Which young master is this, holding my little lady—what are you planning to do?"

"?" Le Zhengsheng shot him a sharp look, ruthless and unrestrained. "Your little lady? Fifth Master... you’ve just caused a human life here!"

Fifth Master frowned. "What?"

Fifth Master shoved both hands in his pockets, looking utterly fearless.

"Tsk! A little mistress jumping off a building—you think... that could really do anything to me?"

"Heh." Le Zhengsheng sneered softly. "Is that so?"

He stood up, took out his phone, and dialed a number. "Officer Qu, it’s me..."

At the sound of that, Fifth Master’s expression immediately shifted. Officer Qu? That name he’d definitely heard; this wasn’t some small-time cop!

Who was this young man? Why did he know Officer Qu? To be able to get directly through to Officer Qu, he clearly wasn’t some nobody.

"Young master, how should I address you?" Fifth Master smiled, giving Le Zhengsheng a bit of face.

Le Zhengsheng’s lips curled. "I am Le Zhengsheng."

Le Zheng... that surname wasn’t very common; the most famous was the Lezheng Family of Z Country.

Fifth Master knit his brows. "Don’t tell me, you’re... the young master of the Lezheng Family?"

"Precisely." Le Zhengsheng nodded slightly. "Ningning is my girlfriend."

"Mm?" Fifth Master frowned, displeased. "What do you mean by that? I paid money to buy this girl! Her old man personally delivered her! From what you’re saying, are you implying I snatched her? Hmph, would I bother?"

Le Zhengsheng frowned, taking his identity into consideration.

"How about this..." Le Zhengsheng took a step back. "It was Ningning’s father who was in the wrong in this matter. I’ll apologize to you here, Fifth Master... I hope you’ll give the Lezheng Family some face, be generous and let this go."

Fifth Master frowned. "And what if I don’t?"

No matter what, when a man backs off on a matter concerning a woman, it more or less hurts his pride.

Le Zhengsheng naturally understood. "Fifth Master, the Lezheng Family won’t let you suffer any loss... I know you like going out to sea. We’ll gift you a cruise ship plus a private stretch of beach. How about that?"

Fifth Master’s eyes widened in surprise; he raised his brows and couldn’t help glancing at the little girl on the ground who was crying her eyes out... This little girl was worth that much?

He was indeed greedy for money, but even more important was Le Zhengsheng’s attitude! To put it bluntly, what Le Zhengsheng just offered would be extravagant even as a betrothal gift... It looked like Young Master Le Zheng was serious about this girl! Since that was the case, there really was no need for him to offend the Lezheng Family over a woman.

They were all businessmen; who knew when they might cross paths in the future.

Fifth Master nodded. "Young Master Le Zheng, you’re too kind, then..."

Le Zhengsheng understood, bent down, and picked Gu Xiaoning up. "Thank you, Fifth Master. I’ll be taking Ningning away... Sorry for all the trouble."

"Don’t mention it..."

From beginning to end, Gu Xiaoning’s head felt fuzzy; being held in Le Zhengsheng’s arms, she still didn’t feel secure.

Once they stepped out, Le Zhengsheng finally lowered his head to look at her. "What is it? You’re all dazed—does it hurt a lot? We’re heading to the hospital now."

"..." Gu Xiaoning had been silent this whole time, then suddenly burst into loud sobs, wrapping her arms around Le Zhengsheng’s neck. "Asheng! You’re like a hero!"

...He was her hero, just like that, descending from the sky.

Who said Asheng was weak and on the verge of death? He was clearly so powerful! He was more reliable and trustworthy than any healthy man in this world!

Le Zhengsheng chuckled. "I’m still no match for you; you’re a little fairy... who descended from the heavens!"

Jump off a building? Let’s see if she’d dare try that again! She’d nearly scared him to death!

...

At the hospital, Gu Xiaoning was sent into the operating room.

On the way there she’d already passed out, from the pain and the blood loss.

Outside the operating room stood Le Zhengsheng, Yu Sangwan, Aunt Gu, and Xiaozheng.

When the operation ended, Aunt Gu rushed up with Xiaozheng in tow. "Doctor, how’s my daughter?"

The doctor nodded. "She’s fine now. She has quite a few injuries... but none of them are fatal. With some rest, she’ll be fine."

"Oh, thank you." Aunt Gu let out a long breath and hugged her son with a sigh. "Xiaozheng, thank goodness, thank goodness—your sister’s okay!"

Yu Sangwan watched from the side and nudged the silent Le Zhengsheng. "Asheng? If you’re worried, go in and see her!"

Le Zhengsheng stayed quiet, thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No... I’m leaving."

"Hey!"

Yu Sangwan tried to grab him, but he had already walked far away. She frowned; she knew Le Zhengsheng was retreating... He minded his own illness. Even though Aunt Gu was the one who’d brought it up, it was still a practical issue he couldn’t avoid.

...Asheng also had times when he was afraid!

Gu Xiaoning was transferred to a ward; Aunt Gu showered Yu Sangwan with gratitude. "Ma’am, thank you. Besides thank you, I don’t know what else to say."

"No need to thank me." Yu Sangwan frowned, heart aching for Asheng. "If you want to thank someone, you should be thanking Asheng."

Aunt Gu froze and fell silent.

"Aunt Gu." Yu Sangwan spoke earnestly. "Asheng really is a good man; he’s serious about Ningning... I know saying this may not take your feelings into account, but the feelings of two people who love each other are more important, aren’t they?"
