Gu Jinlan was anxious to get out of bed and leave, but she gasped in pain all over her body and almost fell off the bed.

"Be careful!" William quickly held her shoulders and gently pressed her back to lie down on the pillow.

"You should be very clear about how many injuries you have on your body. If you move now, it will affect your entire body. Don't hurt yourself like this."

Gu Jin stared at William with stern blue eyes, "What do you want to do?"

Not letting her leave, and not letting her contact her family, does this mean they want to imprison her?

Picture what?

Looking at Gu Jinlan's fierce eyes, William was still not annoyed, and smiled gently, "You are quite cute like this."

“……”Gu Jinlan was stunned.

No one has ever used the word "cute" to describe her.

Even many people would feel afraid when they saw her fierce eyes.

William thought she was cute when she was fierce, which only meant that she was not intimidating enough to William.

Only an absolutely strong person would find it cute when seeing a weak person getting angry.

William reached out his hand and gently touched Gu Jinlan's head, "You look like the little Persian cat I picked up last month."

"It was also badly injured at the time. When I bandaged its wound, it was wary of me. It looked ferocious, just like you are now."

"It even scratched me, but now it's very well behaved. As long as I wave my hand, it will jump into my arms obediently."

William spoke in a gentle and unhurried tone about the cat he picked up, with the corners of his lips always slightly raised.

Gu Jinlan stared at his amber eyes, and suddenly an unknown fear in her heart was infinitely magnified.

Did William think of himself as a kitten or puppy he picked up?

William's next words confirmed Gu Jinlan's guess.

He said, "I picked you up, you have to take good care of your health, so that my kindness will not be in vain, dear."

He stroked his hand gently over the top of her head, like he was petting a kitten.

Gu Jinlan gritted her teeth and said nothing. Her haste to get out of bed just now made her realize that her bruised and battered body made it difficult for her to move an inch.

If she confronts William head-on now, she will be the one who suffers.

She managed to escape from that devil's den and survived.

I must return alive to Ranran and Aye.

Once her injuries are healed, no one can trap her!

Gu Jinlan let out a slow breath and calmed down.

Seeing that she no longer resisted, William narrowed his eyes and smiled with satisfaction, “That’s good.”

Gu Jinlan said, "Don't you want to find Ni An? I know where she lives. I can help you contact her."

William shook his head, “I just said that when she has had enough fun and knows that the outside world is dangerous, she will come back to me obediently.”

Seeing that William was not fooled, Gu Jinlan asked doubtfully: “Don’t your parents miss her?”

As long as William can let her contact Xia Ni'an, she will have the opportunity to contact Simo, or take the opportunity to leave.

William smiled noncommittally, "You've talked too much, and it's very exhausting. You should rest well now. I'll come to see you later."

After saying that, William leaned down and was about to give Gu Jinlan a kiss on the cheek.

Gu Jinlan quickly turned her head away and said, "Sorry, I'm Chinese and can't adapt to Western culture."

William just smiled and didn't force Gu Jinlan, "Have a good rest."

Hearing William's footsteps leaving, Gu Jinlan turned around and looked at his back as he walked to the door.

William never expressed any desire to urgently retrieve Shanian.

I don't know if he really feels that way or if he just doesn't show it on purpose.

The mind of this smiling tiger is the most difficult to understand.

But one thing is certain, there must be something else behind the relationship between Shanian and her family, but she just didn't tell me.

Gu Jinlan looked at the room again.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this room as a princess room in a fairy tale.

She had seen Zhao Shiyun's room in the Zhao family, but it was not as dreamy and luxurious as this one.

Since Xia Ni'an was a princess who grew up in an ivory tower, it was normal for her to be deceived by a scumbag like Fan Lang.

But if Shanian is really happy in this family, then the injured princess should want to return to the castle.

Gu Jinlan was confused by the situation before him. His head suddenly started to hurt severely and he could no longer think deeply.

She relaxed her tense body and allowed herself to rest.

They come, the security.

It was a blessing in disguise that she was able to save her life.

The only thing she could do next was to heal her body as quickly as possible.

On the huge video conference screen, the figure of the old lady was shown sitting in the greenhouse.

In front of the screen, Yan Yi sat with her legs crossed, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, sipping it slowly.

Compared to Yan Yi's comfortable and relaxed posture, the old lady Shi on the screen had an angry look on her face, glaring at Yan Yi.

"Where is Shi Mufan? I want to talk to him!"

Yan Yi took a sip of coffee without looking at the screen. She said slowly, "He is taking care of Xiaoye. Maybe he wants to be with his son, or maybe he doesn't want to see you."

Madam Shi was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Ye? Did he find you? Or did you go to find him?"

Yan Yi did not answer.

Madam Shi was furious, "Yan Yi! It's not enough that you've harmed my son, do you want to harm my grandson too?"

Yan Yi chuckled, then slowly opened her eyes and looked at Madam Shi on the screen, "Your grandson is also my son."

"Old lady, do people become forgetful as they age? Do you want me to remind you who killed your son?"

Madam Shi was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly reddened as she stared at Yan Yi, not sure whether it was because of sadness or anger.

Yan Yi looked at her calmly, "Not only your son, but also my son, is also your fault. If you hadn't insisted on breaking up Mu Fan and me, and hadn't allowed me to take Xiaoye away, would Xiaoye have lost the company of his parents since childhood?"

Madam Shi took a deep breath and said, "Don't try to make excuses here! Ask yourself, are you qualified to be a mother? You are not qualified to be Xiaoye's mother at all!"

Yan Yi sneered, "It's been so many years, I don't want to argue with you about this issue. Let's just talk about the present. Why didn't you find a rich lady to marry Xiaoye? Why did you find her a woman like that?"

The old lady stared with her eyes wide open, her lips trembling slightly with anger, and her rage seemed to be spreading out from the screen.

"What's wrong with Gu Jinlan? She is the apple of the Zhao family's eye! In terms of family background, she is a perfect match for Xiaoye! And if it weren't for your disgusting deeds, would Gu Jinlan have become the woman you described?"

Although Old Madam Shi did not participate in the S Group's dark industry, she knew a thing or two about it.
