Chapter 227 - 227 Discovery
227 Discovery
He Miao suddenly felt a little strange.
She put on her coat and left the room, leaving Onion behind. She wanted to find Jing Yan to see what was going on, but she did not expect to see the serious-looking Old Master Jing and Butler Li walking towards her.
“Grandpa.” He Miao trotted up to them, but her eyes kept darting behind them, subconsciously looking for Jing Yan.
As soon as Grandpa Jing saw her, the serious look on his face disappeared and was replaced by a kind smile. Seeing her wet hair, he could not help but say, “Why didn’t you wait for your hair to dry before coming out? What if you catch a cold?”
He Miao shook her head. Her entire mind was on Jing Yan, and she blurted out, “Grandpa, have you seen Jing Yan? Is he not with you?”
Old Master Jing and Butler Li looked at each other and asked with a smile, “Why are you looking for him? He just left.”
“Going out? Where did he go?” He Miao asked in confusion as she looked at the snow outside.
Butler Li recalled Jing Yan’s inexplicable warning and said with a smile, “Ee checked the surveillance cameras and found the car that sent the cardboard box over. Young Master Jing has gone to check it out himself and will be back soon.”
Hearing that, He Miao could not care less about the inexplicable doubt in her heart and immediately said worriedly, “How can we do that? It’s so late now, it’s too dangerous! I’ll call him now and ask him to come back quickly.”
Butler Li quickly blocked her way and racked his brain for an excuse. “Miss He, Young Master Jing might be driving now. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for you to call him. But don’t worry, he will not be in any danger. I’ll ask him to look for you when he comes back later.”
He Miao thought about it and felt that the butler’s words made sense, so she nodded obediently. “Alright, when he comes back later, make sure he comes to me at once!”
“Definitely,” Seeing that she had finally been persuaded, Butler Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He Miao knew where Jing Yan had gone, so she naturally denied the absurd guess in her heart. She was really stupid to have been so obsessed with thinking that Jing Yan was Onion.
The book did not mention that the male protagonist could turn into a dog. Maybe Onion subconsciously learned a lot of actions from Jing Yan because he was close to him, which made her feel like they were similar?
She was relieved and accompanied Butler Li to send Old Master Jing back to his room to rest before returning to her own room.
By the door, Jing Yan was squatting on the ground, waiting for her resentfully. When he heard her footsteps, his pair of sharp dog ears perked up and his tail wagged left and right behind him. When she finally pushed the door open, he immediately pounced on her, looking like he was asking for a hug.
He Miao bent over and hugged Onion, letting it lick her neck passionately. She laughed at his own foolishness.
This was clearly Onion, who had a weird personality but loved her very much. How could she be related to Jing Yan?
She carried Onion to the bed and played with her phone while waiting for Jing Yan to come back.
In another room, Old Master Jing waited for more than ten minutes before he came out and pushed open Jing Yan’s door with a somber face.
Just now, he, Jing Yan, and Butler Li were still checking the surveillance cameras downstairs. They finally found some clues about the other party, but Jing Yan suddenly stood up and wanted to go back to his room. Naturally, Old Master Jing was not pleased.
This matter concerned Je Miao’s life and safety, but Jing Yan had given up halfway and even returned to his room to rest. This made Old Master Jing furious.
Jing Yan was unmoved. He even asked him and Butler Li to help him lie to He Miao, saying that he would give him a reasonable explanation later.
He looked at Jing Yan coldly and felt that Jing Yan did not completely ignore He Miao. On the contrary, Jing Yan had his own difficulties. So, he nodded and agreed.
Now, however, as he looked at his grandson who was lying on the bed without moving, the doubts in his heart were completely magnified to the extreme.
According to how alert Jing Yan was in the past, it was impossible for him to not notice someone entering his room while he was sleeping.
Old Master Jing was almost certain that something serious had happened to Jing Yan.
The only thing he could think of was that Jing Yan’s body had a big problem, which forced him to fall into a coma when his illness acted up.
Old Master Jing forced himself to stay in Jing Yan’s room until late at night. Jing Yan finally opened his eyes on the bed.
The moment their eyes met, Jing Yan’s dark eyes became even deeper. He slowly sat up and asked in a deep voice, “Grandpa, How long have you been waiting here?”
“One and a half hours.” Old Master Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at him from head to toe. “How long have you had these symptoms?”
Jing Yan pursed his lips, not planning to tell the truth. He lowered his eyes and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, grandfather. I’m getting better soon.”
