"Chengyan, you're finally back. Our grandparents... I'm really scared..."
Gu Naimei's eyes were reddened, her face showing signs of fatigue, as if she hadn't slept all night.
Helian Chengyan glanced at her with a cold and annoyed look, then at the woman who suddenly stepped in front of him. She looked panicked, staring at him expectantly, obviously seeking his comfort.
In such a situation, the fact that Gu Naimei still couldn't discern priorities made her even more annoying.
Helian Chengyan raised his hand, flung her aside, and walked towards the bed.
Being blatantly ignored, Gu Naimei almost tripped over herself. Once she managed to steady herself, she saw Chi Xingye, who had followed after her.
A look of viciousness flashed across her eyes as she cut Chi Xingye a glare. The hostility in her eyes couldn't be more apparent.
Chi Xingye didn't have time to deal with her. After a brief stare-off, she turned her attention to the Elder Queen.
