Chapter 479 - Chapter 479 Chapter 477 From now on lets never meet again

Chapter 479: Chapter 477: From now on, let’s never meet again. Chapter 479: Chapter 477: From now on, let’s never meet again. Gong Yu saw the King of Northern Desert returning and wanted to quietly slip away through the back door.

But the next second, the King of Northern Desert’s sharp gaze swept toward him.

“Gong Yu, I was almost assassinated, and you can’t dissociate yourself from this matter, so you must come with me to the Presidential Residence!”

Gong Yu’s eyes were filled with reluctance and anger.

Even at this stage, he wouldn’t give up easily.

No matter what, he was still the son of Gong Aotian and carried the blood of the Gong Family in his veins.

The Gong Family would not leave him to die!

Jiang Rui and Gong Yu, having failed to seize power in the Northern Desert, were both detained.

The King of Northern Desert planned to return to the capital with Gu Siting in a couple of days.

Jiang Yan also prepared to return to the Northern Desert Royal Mansion, and she invited Ming Yao, Jing Hang, and Yun Zhuo to visit as guests.

Jing Hang had no plans to go there and intended to return to the capital earlier.

Before leaving, he stopped at Jiang Yan’s room’s door, lifting his long hand gently, wanting to knock several times, but never did.

He stood in the courtyard and smoked several cigarettes in succession.

“Brother Jing.” It was Doctor Shen Yu, the accompanying physician to Gu Siting, who approached, holding a bunch of wildflowers in his hand.

Jing Hang saw the wildflowers in Shen Yu’s hand and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Yu was dressed in a crisp white shirt and his black leather shoes were spotless. He had a neat side parting, and the young man looked spirited and handsome.

“What are you doing with those flowers?”

Shen Yu scratched his scalp, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said, “I’m planning to confess my feelings to Miss Jiang.”

Jing Hang’s handsome face instantly darkened.

Shen Yu, engrossed in the excitement and nervousness of confessing to Jiang Yan, did not notice Jing Hang’s expression.

“When did you start to have feelings for her?” Jing Hang asked.

Shen Yu replied somewhat sheepishly, “That day in the operating room, when I was trying to save her life with Miss Ming, she came close to dying several times but she toughed it out. I really admire that kind of tenacity.”

“She’s also very kind and friendly. Once, when I came back late from a rescue operation and there was no food left in the canteen, she personally made me a bowl of noodles.”

“I know she won’t agree to my proposal, but I still want to express my feelings to her.”

Looking at the admiration and affection for Jiang Yan in Shen Yu’s eyes, Jing Hang raised an eyebrow slightly, “Do you know what type of man she likes?”

Shen Yu shook his head, “I don’t know, Brother Jing, do you?”

Jing Hang tugged at the corner of his mouth, “The man she likes is handsome and peerless, with long and slender peach blossom eyes, a tall nose, thin and beautiful lips, and a sharp jawline.”

A hint of confusion appeared in Shen Yu’s eyes.

Why did he feel that Brother Jing was describing himself?

Watching Shen Yu’s puzzled face, Jing Hang took the bunch of wildflowers from his hand, “Xiao Shen, you’re better off focusing on medical research.”

“Brother Jing, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Jing Hang narrowed his peach blossom eyes, “With her status, could she randomly take a bullet for any man?”

Realization suddenly dawned on Shen Yu, his eyes widened as he looked at Jing Hang, “Are you suggesting that Miss Jiang likes you, Brother Jing?”

A devilish smile appeared on Jing Hang’s handsome face, “I’ve known her since we were sixteen.”

Shen Yu’s face instantly flushed red, “Brother Jing, I wasn’t aware of your relationship with Miss Jiang; I truly apologize, I had no intention of encroaching on your territory.”

Jing Hang waved a hand dismissively, “Even if you wanted to, it’s not like you could succeed.”

“Exactly, exactly, with your peerless elegance, competing with you for love would be self-defeating, wouldn’t it?”

“Quit your babbling and get on with your work.”

“Alright, I’m off.”

After Shen Yu left, Jing Hang looked at the flowers in his hand and the corners of his mouth curled into a self-mocking arc.

What exactly was he doing?

Why was he stopping other men from pursuing her?

Jing Hang was lost in thought for a moment when he suddenly noticed something amiss–a pair of eyes seemed to be watching him from behind.

He turned his head and saw the woman standing at the door, leaning on a cane, and he was momentarily stunned.

Their gazes intertwined, neither shifting for a long time.

Jing Hang didn’t know how long she had been standing there. Had she heard his conversation with Shen Yu?

A trace of awkwardness surfaced on his handsome face, and after a light cough, he broke the silence, “Don’t misunderstand, the flowers were picked by Doctor Shen.”

Jiang Yan nodded, “Oh.”

Another silence ensued.

Jiang Yan looked at the man’s handsome face. He seemed to have grown thinner, and his features appeared more chiseled.

“Your injury hasn’t healed yet, why did you get up?”

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, “I was going to the washroom.”

“Where’s the person taking care of you?”

Jiang Yan hadn’t returned to the Northern Desert Royal Mansion; her current lodging was quite simple, without an ensuite washroom.

“She was busy with something else, but I can walk now, I can manage on my own.”

Jing Hang put down the wildflowers and helped Jiang Yan toward the washroom.

“No need, I can do it myself.”

Jing Hang glanced at Jiang Yan, “Relax, I’m not going to eat you.”

Jiang Yan, “I’m not afraid of you eating me, it’s just that it’ll be really awkward for you to follow me to the washroom.”

“We used to share a bathroom before.”

Jiang Yan, “…” Yes, we did share a men’s bathroom, but she always entered a cubicle, okay?

Thinking about the past events at the boys’ school, the atmosphere between them eased considerably.

It had been a long time since they had interacted so peacefully.

When they reached the washroom door, Jiang Yan refused to let Jing Hang help her in.

Jing Hang waited outside the whole time.

When Jiang Yan came out, a rare flush appeared on her face.

Jing Hang helped Jiang Yan back to the bed and was about to rise when he heard her let out a soft gasp.

Lately, Jiang Yan’s hair had grown considerably, and one strand had gotten caught on Jing Hang’s button.

Jing Hang looked at the tightly entwined strand of hair and chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ll sort it out.”

As Jing Hang was untangling her hair, Jiang Yan’s gaze was fixed on him.

His shirt’s top three buttons were undone, revealing his delicate collarbone and muscular chest, toned and powerful, appearing supremely sexy.

Jiang Yan averted her gaze but accidentally swept over his Adam’s apple.

She remembered a time at school when, sparring with him, she had fallen on top of him, and her lips had accidentally brushed against his Adam’s apple.

Then, both their faces had flushed red.

Lost in thought, Jiang Yan didn’t realize Jing Hang had already freed her hair.

Seeing her gaze, his eyes deepened in intensity.

“Jiang Yan,” he called her softly.

Jiang Yan looked at him, “Hmm?”

Jing Hang didn’t speak, his handsome face slowly moving closer to hers.

Jiang Yan’s breath tightened all at once.

Just as she thought his thin lips would meet hers, she heard him whisper in her ear, “Let’s not see each other anymore.”

Jiang Yan’s hands suddenly tightened, her fingertips forcefully clutching the bedsheet beneath her.

A sourness surged in her nose, and her eyes began to swell slightly.

She took a deep breath and replied, “Fine.”

Jing Hang stood up from beside Jiang Yan and left with heavy steps.
