Chapter 111: Holding His Breath

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the first time Gu Lin saw Gu Qingxue’s anxious expression.

Gu Lin did not know how to express his worry, so he could only hold Gu Qingxue’s hand, as if to comfort her, and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Gu Qingxue looked at Gu Lin in surprise.

Gu Lin was a boy and the eldest son. He was not as spoiled as his younger siblings. In addition, the original owner of this body had once treated them harshly, so he rarely got close to her.

Gu Lin lowered his head and said, “I heard Li Xiaohu tell me that when he had nightmares in the past, his grandmother would always grab his hand and say that he shouldn’t be afraid anymore. I don’t know if it’s true. Anyway, there’s no harm in trying.”

When Gu Qingxue heard this, she was so touched that she was about to cry!

Her son was simply too warm!

“Lil’ Lin is so good. Mother feels much better,” Gu Qingxue said happily.

Gu Lin’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

“Really! Mother was a little scared at first, but now I can sleep again.” Gu Qingxue pulled Gu Lin to lie down again, she reached out and touched his little face, “Let’s sleep together. When we wake up tomorrow, Mother will take you to play with Lil’ Han.”

She still decided to believe in the dream.

There was indeed a special fate between her and Lil’ Han.

Since she dreamed of him, it meant that it was not a coincidence.

She wanted to go to the prince regent’s mansion to investigate. If Lil’ Han was fine, she could rest assured.

However, if what happened in the dream also happened in reality, she might be able to save Lil’ Han.

No, she had to save Lil’ Han.

Recalling the scene of Rong Han being shot by the sleeve arrow in the dream, Gu Qingxue’s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.

It seemed that the sleeve arrow not only hit Rong Han but also her heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingxue took a deep breath and fell asleep again with her eyes closed.

The next morning, a crisp sound came from the dining room of the prince regent’s mansion.

The maids and servants in the dining hall were all silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Rong Zhan was sitting at the table with a cold expression, watching Rong Han throw the bowls and chopsticks on the ground.

The father and son were in a deadlock. Rong Han clenched his fists, his face red, and demanded, “I want to go out!”

Rong Zhan’s thin lips moved slightly, and he spat out two words, “No.”

Rong Han seemed to have suffered a great blow. The tears in the bottom of his eyes could no longer be held in. Tears burst out of his eyes, and he lowered his head and sobbed.

Rong Han’s crying was completely different from the crying of an ordinary child. He was very restrained in his crying. He seemed to be unwilling to make a sound as he forcefully held back his sobbing, causing his small face to turn red.

However, this was not the end.

The key point was that Rong Han’s emotions were getting more and more agitated. In the end, he simply shut his mouth and held his breath, unwilling to breathe.

Rong Zhan frowned. He reached out and grabbed Rong Han in front of him. His two fingers pinched his cheeks and forced him to open his mouth, “Breathe.”

Rong Han was extremely resistant. He was so stubborn that he was unwilling to listen.

In the end, Rong Zhan still could not persuade Rong Han. He let out a long sigh and said helplessly, “I can get someone to find Gu Lin and the others. I can get them to come over and play with you, but you can’t leave the residence.”

Only then did Rong Han stop trembling. He then took large mouthfuls of air to regain her breath.

Looking at Rong Han coughing and raising his hand to rub his eyes, Rong Zhan’s gaze softened. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears off Rong Han’s face.

Rong Han seemed to have realized that he had not been able to control his emotions just now. There was some guilt in his eyes, and he hugged Rong Zhan’s waist tightly.
