The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448: 708 Two Little Bao Buns (Second Update)

At night, Gu Chengfeng paid a visit.

He’d show up whenever he had nothing pressing, and in the five days Gu Jiao and Gu Yan lived at the National Master Hall, he’d already come three times, only to miss them each time.

Finally, not tonight.

Everyone at home had already retired to bed, the door bolt locked; he had to climb the wall to get in—almost getting himself skewered by Gu Jiao’s spear.

Staring at the red-tasseled spear half an inch from his chest, Gu Chengfeng swallowed hard and said, "No way, you don’t sleep in the middle of the night?"

Gu Jiao put away the spear and walked back to the main room, asking indifferently, "What brings you here so late?"

"You think I wanted to come over?" Gu Chengfeng snorted, massaging his nearly startled heart as he entered the room as if nothing had happened.

He glanced at the partially closed doors of the rooms and whispered, "Everyone’s asleep? How come so early? The Opera House’s business is just picking up."

Gu Jiao sat down in a chair beside the Eight Immortals table, "Then why did you come?"

"I don’t perform every day." Performing every day would mean scripts advancing too quickly, and he’d run out of material to sing.

Ah, he really regretted not reading a few more scripts written by the old libationer back then.

It’s only at times of need that one realizes what they lack—he had finally understood this truth.

"Did Gu Yan’s surgery go smoothly?" Gu Chengfeng asked seriously as he sat down in the chair opposite Gu Jiao, "Just for the record, I’m not asking because I care, I’m asking for Xiao Hen."

"It went smoothly," Gu Jiao said.

"Really?" Gu Chengfeng’s eyes lit up.

Gu Jiao: Didn’t you say you didn’t care yourself?

"Mhm," Gu Jiao nodded, "You can check on him yourself if you want, but he might be asleep right now."

Gu Chengfeng’s gaze flickered, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, sipping the tea as he said, "What’s there to see?"

Even so, his eyes kept darting to the room where Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were.

"Any news from my husband’s side?"

"What news could there be? He’s being watched by the Han Family, he’s being very cautious and has barely left the house recently."

It’s a good thing they had an eagle to pass messages between them.

"So Gu Yan won’t have a relapse in the future, right? He’s truly cured?"

"He shouldn’t relapse."

"What do you mean he shouldn’t?" _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
