Chapter 386: Is the Mission This Time Dangerous?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lu Ning found out about this, it was already after lunch.
She was resting on the sofa in the infirmary, making small talk with Gu Chen.
“Eighth Brother, is Twelfth’s mission this time dangerous?”
Gu Chen looked up at her from behind his desk.
She was lazing on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a trace of worry.
Gu Chen did not say much. He only said, “The danger rating is 6 points; Twelfth’s ability rating is 12 points.”
Lu Ning smiled in understanding.
However, she only smiled for a moment before her expression turned gloomy again.
Her empty gaze was fixed on the ceiling. No one knew what she was thinking.
Gu Chen glanced at her, got up, and walked over. He sat beside her and looked at her.
Lu Ning came back to her senses and looked down at him in confusion.
Gu Chen’s voice was unusually gentle.
“Don’t worry, you’re already doing very well. Boss must have her own considerations for making such a decision.”
Lu Ning was stunned as she looked at him. After a long time, she said softly,
“Do you really think I’m doing well? I don’t know anything.”
Gu Chen shook his head and looked at her gently. “What did you do in the past when you had to do things you didn’t understand? Did you shirk from them?”
Lu Ning shook her head. “l went to learn more, and did them.”
Lu Ning looked at him and smiled.
Gu Chen also smiled. “You went to learn how to do them, and didn’t you succeed?”
Lu Ning mulled for a long time before she nodded. “Will I be able to protect you guys?”
Gu Chen did not answer her directly. He only asked back, “Can you?”
Lu Ning fell silent.
After a long while, she looked at Gu Chen with a determined gaze. “l will.” Gu Chen smiled and patted her gently. “Come, let me give you a hug.”
Lu Ning could not help but break into a smile. She bent over and hugged Gu Chen, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Cousin, do you think people’s imaginations will run wild if they see us like this?”
She said this with a smile.
Gu Chen could not help but laugh when he heard that. “It’ll be fine if it’s other people, but it won’t be good if your cousin-in-law sees this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Ning could ask about her cousin-in-law, someone pushed the door open and entered. When they saw this scene, their imagination ran wild.
Li Nian’s hand was still on the handle. She was frozen for a long time as she took in the scene. She and Lu Ning blinked at each other, both unable to react.
“Excuse me!”
Li Nian turned around and was about to run.
“Hold up!’
Lu Ning pushed Gu Chen away and chased after her.
“Li Nian!”
Gu Chen, who had been pushed to the ground: n ???”
When Lu Ning pulled Li Nian back, Gu Chen had already gotten up and was behind the desk.
Li Nian looked at Lu Ning and then at Gu Chen.
“What… were you two… doing?”
Lu Ning looked at her. “Just a hug between siblings.”
Li Nian was not prepared to ask further. She nodded and looked at Gu Chen. “Doctor Gu, can you give me more of that medicine?” Hearing this, Lu Ning and Gu Chen both frowned.
“You’re still on the meds?”
Li Nian nodded and did not explain further.
“Can you give them to me?”
She looked directly at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen looked at her this time, but his expression was no longer as gentle as before. He said forcefully, “l can’t.”
On the other hand, Li Nian was taken aback.
However, she did not pester him too much. She only said, “Thank you, I’ll think of something else.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to leave when Lu Ning stopped her.
“How about this! Li Nian, stay and let my cousin do a checkup for you. His medical skills might be so brilliant that you won’t even need to take medicine afterwards.
“Don’t you think so, cousin of mine?”
After saying that, she winked at Gu Chen, then pushed Li Nian towards him
and turned to leave..
