Mu Wan was stunned.
If that was the case, since there was no doubt that she had to give Gu Tingyuan's mother a blood transfusion every month, continuing his mother's life was equivalent to ending her own life…
"I understand."
Helian Zhen glanced at her. "I'm really worried for both of you!"
Mu Wan looked up. "Helian."
"What is it?"
"Don't tell Gu Tingyuan about this."
"I know. Didn't you pull the corner of my shirt just now to stop me from speaking?" Helian Zhen glanced at her. He was really confused about this. "Speaking of which, Mu Wan, why… did you have to hide it from Ting?"
Mu Wan was silent for a few seconds. "I'll tell you in the future."
"Okay, but you have to listen to me obediently from now on. A woman's body is no joke."
She nodded obediently. "Okay."
"I'll send you back to the Imperial View Manor later and make some tonics for you."
Mu Wan glanced at the door. "Has he left?"
"He must have gone to see his mother. I heard that Auntie Gu had an emergency today and needed to undergo a minor surgery."
Upon hearing this, Mu Wan finally understood.
It turned out that it was an emergency. It was no wonder she needed her blood again after only half a month.
…
In the evening, Helian Zhen personally sent Mu Wan back to the manor. The maids had already prepared dinner.
She thought that Gu Tingyuan did not come back. It was only when he went downstairs that Mu Wan knew that he was back.
He clearly wanted to come back, but he was unwilling to bring her along. It seemed like he really despised her to the extreme.
The dinner was very rich. Helian Zhen, who had stayed behind, could not wait to pick up his chopsticks.
"Not bad. You even know that you should prepare pork liver and spinach for us!" Helian Zhen looked at Gu Tingyuan slyly, thinking that he had specially instructed the chef to prepare these.
"Mu Wan, eat more of these to replenish your blood!"
Gu Tingyuan's expression darkened again when he saw Helian Zhen picking food for Mu Wan.
Actually, these dishes were not specially ordered by him. He had only been back for less than ten minutes.
"Who asked you to prepare these?"
Gu Tingyuan looked up at the maid beside him.
The maid nodded slightly and said respectfully, "It was the Old Master who asked us to prepare it. He said that Miss Mu's health is not good, so she needs more nourishment."
Her words stunned the three people present.
Helian Zhen looked at Gu Tingyuan and realized that the one who asked the maids to prepare these dishes for Mu Wan was not him, but Old Master Gu.
Well, it seemed that Grandpa Gu treated Mu Wan well.
However, Mu Wan lowered her head and remembered what Gu Jingkun said in the ward.
In order to help Madam Gu with her blood transfusion, he specially instructed the servants to let Mu Wan eat and drink well so that she could recuperate and continue donating blood.
Gu Tingyuan looked at Mu Wan thoughtfully.
He never understood why his grandfather wanted him to marry Mu Wan even though he knew that his father's death was related to Mu Wan. He even… treated her "very well". This was not his usual style.
…
After dinner, before Helian Zhen left, he personally handed some Chinese medicine he had concocted to Gu Tingyuan.
"Ting, every word I say is very serious. Don't think that I'm joking."
His sudden seriousness made Gu Tingyuan feel disgusted. "Speak quickly."
"Mu Wan has severe anemia. You must make sure that she drinks the medicine every day. This is not a joke. If you don't take it seriously now…" Helian Zhen paused for a few seconds as she looked at him. Her gaze was serious like never before." One day in the future, you might really 'lose' Mu Wan completely."
