Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Gu Yelin Exerts His Power (5)

Thinking back to what Zhang Yuksheng had said to her in the hospital a few days ago, An Yiqing couldn’t help but smile bitterly in her heart.

At that time, Zhang Yuksheng had told her how things had developed, and he had even joked, "Miss, Head Duan also means well. If it weren’t for General Gu taking the lead, you and Head Duan would make a perfect match!"

It was this very sentence that brought to the surface the thoughts that An Yiqing had not been able to grasp in her heart before!

However, even with some speculation, she was still uneasy. Perhaps she had misinterpreted everything?

Duan Tang looked at the girl with unease in her eyes and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He knew that some things were meant to be kept buried in the heart.

"Right, we are friends, and it’s natural to help each other out," Duan Tang said gently as he stretched out his hand to gently pat An Yiqing’s head.

Sigh...

An Yiqing’s heart relaxed sharply, and the weight on her mind lightened considerably. She had Ah Lin, and she could never reciprocate Duan Tang’s feelings. For this man as gentle as jade, An Yiqing had respect and admiration, but her heart never fluttered. She would give him everything she could, except for her feelings.

Seeing the girl’s radiant smile, Duan Tang’s bitter heart also found some joy. Maybe, this outcome was for the best.

In the distance, a tall and upright man with dark eyes watched quietly as the man and woman sat on the bench, his lips slightly pursed and his expression indecipherable.

After spending an entire week in the hospital, An Yiqing finally left.

Upon returning to the An Family home, the first thing she did was to throw herself violently onto the big bed and fiercely indulge in affection with Old Jin and Xiao Hei.

Carrying the luggage, Gu Yelin silently placed everything in order and then stood quietly by the bed, staring blankly as the playful girl rolled around on the bed with the cat and dog.

"Ah Lin, what’s wrong?" After sending Xiao Hei and Old Jin away, An Yiqing noticed that Gu Yelin had been staring at her blankly all along and couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

These past few days, she had felt that Gu Yelin’s mood was off, often absent-minded, and though he was still tender and attentive to her, An Yiqing sensitively felt that his spirits seemed somewhat downcast.

Reaching out, she took Gu Yelin’s large hand and pulled him down to sit next to her on the bed.

"Ah Lin, have you been preoccupied these last few days?" The girl leaned on the man’s shoulder and tilted her head inquisitively as she looked at him.

Gu Yelin’s dark eyes intensely gazed at the delightful little face before him. When had he started to like her? Was it the warm smile from their first encounter, her cleverness at the dinner table, or her clean and pure aura? Gradually, with more and more interactions, this shallow affection transformed into deep love. Since then, he couldn’t be without her, he simply couldn’t.

Since they had gotten together, they had been through many trials. Gu Yelin was very certain of An Yiqing’s feelings for him, but could this kind of love end up binding her?

Recalling the scene he had witnessed in the garden that day, Gu Yelin couldn’t deny being jealous. His beloved and Duan Tang were so similar in temperament; if he hadn’t been around, could the two of them have...

For the first time, Gu Yelin, who had always been high and mighty with great power in his hands, lost his confidence and began to worry excessively.

An Yiqing saw the emotion in the man’s eyes, and she became worried, "Ah Lin, what happened?"

The deep concern in the girl’s eyes warmed Gu Yelin’s heart. He lifted his arm and gently ran his hand through An Yiqing’s long hair, then buried his head deeply into the nape of her neck and asked in a low voice, "Tutu, if I weren’t here, would you like Duan Tang?"
