Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Well Done_1
"..." Gu Yan remained silent.
Ye Lu’s anticipation gradually sunk. Was it still not acceptable?
Even as a friend, he didn’t wish to see her, did he?
Indeed. All she’d brought him was the pain etched into his heart, something no man could tolerate.
She forced a smile: "I understand. Gu Yan, whatever happens, I hope you’ll cherish yourself. Please, don’t hurt yourself anymore."
Otherwise, her heart would ache with worry.
She rose, casting one last sad look at him, knowing they could never meet again.
"I’ll leave now. Take care. I won’t bother you any longer."
She turned silently and moved towards the door, opening it.
"Ye Lu, do you truly care about me? Are you filled with guilt for me?" Gu Yan suddenly spoke.
Ye Lu turned back in surprise.
"Shouldn’t you strive to make it up to me?" Gu Yan lifted his head, his chest heaving, his eyes fixed on her."
Ye Lu stared at him, her heart pounding wildly: "What do you mean?"
"Stay with me, take care of me, until I recover."
...
Meanwhile, the usually smooth-sailing Third Young Master Jun suddenly received an urgent call from Prince Yilide.
"King, things have taken a turn! Some oil experts from North America met with my father secretly over the past week. My father is interfering in a major transaction and revoking your agency rights. As your friend, it’s hard for me to speak up for you. You know how stubborn my father is, the more I help you, the less likely he is to change his mind!"
Third Young Master Jun’s face turned pale, brooding. This business was of significant importance, no room for error was allowed.
Who had the audacity to interfere in his business?
"Has your father publicly revoked my rights?"
"Not yet, but I suspect it’s imminent."
Third Young Master Jun’s gaze was sharp, his tone firm: "Hold him off, give me ten hours, I’ll be there immediately. And, don’t let those experts leave your country."
"No problem, I can manipulate the immigration control of my country temporarily to prevent them from leaving. But you have to be quick, if my father finds out, he’ll be furious."
After hanging up, Third Young Master Jun had a grave expression on his face. This situation was far from trivial. He immediately asked Feiyu to arrange for his departure.
In the meantime, he made a quick run to the hospital to visit Old Madam Jun.
"Grandma, I’m going abroad. Please rest well. I’ll try to be back by the time you’re discharged to celebrate with you." Third Young Master Jun kissed her forehead.
Old Madam Jun was irritated: "You’re always running abroad. When will you finally settle down?"
"Soon."
"What do you mean?" Old Madam Jun was interested.
Third Young Master Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandma, I should be engaged soon and getting married within the year!"
Old Madam Jun, struck like by lightning, stared wide-eyed, unable to recover for a moment. Suddenly, she jumped up excitedly from her bed, grabbing him.
"Am I dreaming? Happiness came too quickly, I can’t handle it. Get the doctor, I need to check my ears to see if there’s a problem!"
Third Young Master Jun laughed: "Grandma, your ears are perfectly fine. You heard correctly, I’m getting engaged and planning to get married."
"Really? Ha ha, I’m going to have a granddaughter-in-law, I’m going to have a great-grandchild."
Old Madam Jun was so pleased she couldn’t close her mouth. But after moment, she glanced at him with a sly smile, "Why so sudden? Now be honest with Grandma, did you get some girl pregnant? Well done, very well done!"
