Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before Fang Mingfeng could even wipe the wine off his face with his sleeve, the empty wine jar fell right on the heels of it and landed heavily on his head. “Dong! Dong!”
There were two consecutive collisions. The wine jar fell to the ground before shattering, and the fragments mixed with the wine on the ground.
This was really too ruthless.
Fang Mingfeng cried out in pain. He felt as if his head was about to split open. He gritted his teeth, and the color quickly drained from his face.
Not only did he have a headache, but even the scar on his left arm and abdomen from the last time he fell off the horse was also aching.
At this moment, his killing intent soared.
Be it the two beggars who robbed me that night, or the ones who threw down wine jars today, they all deserve to die!
Fang Mingfeng held his head with one hand. Half of his face was a little ferocious. He staggered two steps and a deep darkness surged like waves in front of him…
He swayed and collapsed, landing softly on the ground. His mind was buzzing, and he felt as if the world was shaking violently.
“Mingfeng!” Gu Yunrong finally rushed in front of Fang Mingfeng. He ignored the wine and fragments on the ground and knelt on the ground.
She held Fang Mingfeng’s hand with one hand and couldn’t hide the anxiety in her voice. “Mingfeng, what do you think? Can you hear me?”
Fang Mingfeng tried his best to keep his eyes open. He felt Gu Yunrong’s warm palm against him.
Gu Yanfei’s unfathomable and distant voice sounded in his ears again.”… You won’t have a good ending!”
Can it be that what Gu Yanfei said is true?
As soon as this thought surfaced, his heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, or as if it was being ruthlessly strangled.
Fang Mingfeng used the last of his strength to try to open his eyes. He looked at the girl, who was only inches away from him, in a daze, as if he wanted to engrave her face in his heart.
He had long given up hope that they could be together, but why was God so cruel that he wasn’t even allowed to get close to her…
Fang Mingfeng’s thin lips moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t make a sound. As endless darkness pressed down like a mountain, his consciousness gradually faded, and he fainted.
“Mingfeng! Mingfeng!” Gu Yunrong called out Fang Mingfeng’s name repeatedly, her face turning pale.
Her voice became more agitated and high-pitched as it traveled down the street, causing many passersby to stop.
Gu Yuan, who was shopping at the other end of the street, also heard Gu Yunrong’s voice. His hand that was taking out his wallet paused.
“And two boxes of lotus seed crisps.”
Gu Yuan didn’t turn around and simply threw the silver to the waiter. The waiter quickly packed the plum blossom cake, bean paste cake, golden-threaded honey dates, candied plums, and lotus seed crisps he had ordered.
It was rare for him to return so early today. Gu Yuan specially came to this street to buy snacks for his two sisters.
After buying the snacks, Gu Yuan rode his horse back and passed by that restaurant. He heard Gu Yunrong hurriedly instruct Fang Mingfeng’s servant. “The Myriad Herb Hall is in front. Hurry, go there and invite Doctor Wan over…”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant finally ran out late. Even the drunk guests on the second floor came and said richly, “Isn’t it just someone who was injured? He’s not dead. Why are you shouting?!”
“My father is Xu Guangsong!”
“You’re trying to extort money, right? Speak. Is 1,000 taels enough?”
The drunken young master was arrogant and threw out a series of words in a disdainful and arrogant tone, causing more and more passersby on the street to surround the restaurant.
The front of the restaurant was in a tizzy.
Gu Yuan didn’t even look at him. He rode away without looking back.
With his horse galloping and his vibrant attire, the 18-year-old youth paid no attention to the encounter between Gu Yunyan and Fang Mingfeng. It left no trace in his heart as he moved on without a hint of hesitation.
After returning to the residence, Gu Yuan first went to the Jiahui Courtyard to give one of the candied desserts to Gu Yunzhen. Then, he went to Yuheng Garden to see Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yuan rushed back quickly. The desserts he had just bought were still piping hot.
Gu Yanfei slept in and had just gotten up when she was tempted by this alluring fragrance.
“The desserts from Six Blessings! Big Brother, you’re the best!” Gu Yanfei smiled happily. After eating a few pieces of plum blossom cake, she felt 50-60% full.
She took a sip of water and asked casually, “Big Brother, you just came back?”
Seeing that his sister was eating happily, Gu Yuan smiled gently and nodded..
