Ning Meng Yao let out a sigh and walked out while ignoring Qiao Tian Chang.

Qiao Tian Chang, seeing Ning Meng Yao acting like that, was disheartened and downcast. He understood that Ning Meng Yao was furious, but he didn’t know what to do.

”Young miss...... Are you alright?” Qing Shuang was feeling worried as she looked at Ning Meng Yao.

She previously didn’t notice, but looking at Ning Meng Yao from a close distance, she noticed her complexion was pale. The young miss had been staying by the side of the bed for close to ten days, not eating or drinking, if not for Qiao Mo Feng forcibly stuffing some food into her mouth, the current Ning Meng Yao might not be able to sustain.

They had heard Qiao Tian Chang’s voice earlier, but the young miss did not say a single word before walking out, it caused them to feel sad and heartached.

”I’m fine, no need to worry, you all go take care of him,” After she finished speaking, she walked out of the courtyard while ignoring their surprised gazes. She headed to the courtyard furthest away and locked herself in the room.

She had been worried and afraid all these while, she was finally unable to suppress it at this moment and started crying.

Qing Shuang and the crowd looked at each other: “Qing Zhu, Qing Xue, you two quickly take care of young miss, prepare some food for her, she did not have a good rest for the past few days.”

”We understand, don’t worry.”

Nan Yu glanced at Qing Shuang: “Let’s enter and have a look.”

Qing Shuang gave some thought and nodded, both of them walked in together.

When they entered the room, they saw Qiao Tian Chang staring outside, disappointment flashed in his eyes when he saw it was the two who had entered.

”Where’s Yao Yao?”

”She went to rest.”

”Is it?”

Qing Shuang seeing Qiao Tian Chang acting that way didn’t know what to say: “Young master, I wish to know, why did you do that? Could it be that the lives of those two are more important than your life? Could it be that young miss and little young master’s life is not as important as those two? If something happened to you this time, have you ever thought what young miss and little young master would do?”

“I......” He wasn’t able to think at that time, he only knew he couldn’t allow anything to happen to Xiao Qi Feng, but the moment he was heavily injured, Ning Meng Yao and their children appeared in his mind.

The moment he woke up, he saw Ning Meng Yao’s haggard and weak look, he knew how frightened must be during this period, he originally wanted to have a good talk with her and then apologize to her, but he never expected her to leave without saying a word.

He was filled with regret the moment he saw her leaving, but it was too late for regrets, everything had become a forgone conclusion.

”Qing Shuang, help me go check on her.”

”It turns out you’re still thinking about our young miss? Do you know how young miss passed her days while you were unconscious? She had been guarding by your side, neither eating nor drinking, neither sleeping nor resting. If not for elder young master stuffing food into her mouth, and Nan Yu knocking her unconscious for to make her rest, I’m afraid you will wake up to see a corpse instead,” As long as Qing Shuang thought about the suffering Ning Meng Yao endured these days, she was filled with resentment towards Qiao Tian Chang.

When he saw Ning Meng Yao, Qiao Tian Chang knew how Ning Meng Yao passed her days, but personally hearing from Qing Shuang, it really made him depressed. He even wished all of that happened to him instead of Ning Meng Yao.

”I......”

”Boss, we can actually understand your feelings towards the Emperor and the others, but you have a wife and children now, you should also think about her and Shang’er,” Nan Yu felt Qiao Tian Chang had gone too far this time, they didn’t feel good inside seeing Ning Meng Yao acting that way every day.

”I understand,” But what’s the point knowing it right now? Ning Meng Yao was unwilling to speak to him, she was even unwilling to see him, there’s nothing he can do even if he wanted to apologize.

Right, he should go and find Yao Yao.

He supported himself to get up from the bed. Endured the pain from his chest, he insisted on getting off the bed.

”Young master, do you want to make her sadder? Has she not felt sad and upset enough?”
