CHAPTER 271: Fragments of a Heart!
Wu Qianqian said, "Sir, you just mentioned that a healer has the heart of a parent. Why are you trying to shirk your responsibility now?"
Then, the bastard Chu Yang spoke in a tone that was filled with a reluctant eagerness, "Fine, since the young lady has said so, it would be unreasonable for me to continue to refuse. Fairy, please, take off your clothes... uh, I mean, let's go examine the fairy's injury."
Immediately, the sounds of furniture moving could be heard, indicating that both had stood up.
"Please, this way, sir," Wu Qianqian's voice followed.
"Hehe, after you, young lady..." Chu Yang's voice clearly brimmed with anticipation.
After that, there was no sound from inside.
It was evident that the two had gone to check on the injury.
Downstairs, the atmosphere fell into a deep silence! The crowd was like a group of ducks struck dumb by lightning, staring blankly.
No one had expected that Fairy Wu would ultimately invite Chu Yang into her boudoir.
"Beast!" After a moment, an angry, heartbroken roar erupted from downstairs, "Chu Yang! You truly are a beast!..."
How could anyone be foolish enough not to understand?
Why did Fairy Wu act so boldly in front of so many people? Did she not care about her daughter's reputation and honor?
Not at all!
Fairy Wu might not care much, but she was certainly not someone who would easily belittle herself!
The fact that she did something like this could only indicate one thing: she had grown tired of her entanglement with them during this time! And Chu Yang's appearance provided an excellent shield!
Once inside the boudoir, would they really disrobe to treat the injury?
Everyone knew that was impossible!
But... just thinking about today’s events made them lose all courage to face Wu Qianqian: the person had gone so far as to ruin her reputation to escape their entanglement…
It was evident how deep this aversion had become!
Why continue to entangle her?
They had pushed the young lady to the brink...
Being smart, everyone understood the situation clearly. At this moment, all that arose in their hearts was empathy for Wu Qianqian; but at the same time, there was also resentment towards Chu Yang, who had become the shield... and a bit of sympathy.
One couldn't help but wonder how the guy felt after finding out he was merely a shield once he entered Fairy Wu's boudoir... Surely it must have felt strange?
Beast! You deserve this treatment.
As everyone indulged in fantasies about the unexpected treatment Chu Yang was about to receive from Fairy Wu, they all left in a dejected manner...
Upstairs.
Chu Yang and Wu Qianqian entered the inner room, and Wu Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle.
Chu Yang sighed helplessly, "Elder Sister Wu, you’ve put me in a difficult position. When I go out, I’ll have enemies everywhere. But I’m obviously innocent."
Wu Qianqian huffed and replied, "Are you really innocent?"
Chu Yang rubbed his nose and coughed repeatedly.
"I won't push you anymore." Wu Qianqian gracefully sat down, removing her veil. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Yang's face, she looked at him deeply for a moment, her cheeks flushing, "Did you recognize me that night?"
Chu Yang chuckled, "Besides Elder Sister Wu, I really haven’t met a woman of this age who trusts me so much."
Wu Qianqian suddenly realized, "Right, that pill."
She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I shouldn't have taken it so easily, which led you to recognize me." Wu Qianqian sighed.
The sigh was more of self-pity. She knew that if given another chance, she would still take that pill without hesitation.
Because it was given to her by the one she loved and trusted most. At that time, even the smartest woman would have no defenses.
Chu Yang smiled, "Elder Sister Wu, you could have remained a respectable empress, yet you went through so much trouble to come to the upper realm; it must have been to find me, right?"
Wu Qianqian's face turned crimson!
But I did come to find you! No matter what I do, my ultimate goal is to help you. However... why have you always avoided this topic before, yet today you bring it up so calmly?
