Chapter 328: Is This Appropriate?

Kong Nian and Gan Hua appeared at the door of Gu Yang's hospital room, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive and tense.

Especially Gu Yang; the moment he saw Kong Nian, his head buzzed, and he subconsciously looked toward Su Yan.

Regarding the matter of Kong Nian and Su Yan being swapped as children, he had no intention of letting Su Yan find out so soon.

Although Su Yan's eyes were covered with a black cloth, her gaze toward Kong Nian remained deep and complex.

The first thing Kong Nian saw was, naturally, Gu Yang on the hospital bed, but after a single breath, her gaze fell upon Su Yan standing by the bed, filled with hostility.

Gan Hua, on the other hand, was on edge. Ma Chulong had already mentioned earlier that Su Yan was here; his intention had been to stop Kong Nian from coming, but his words carried little weight.

"Brother Gu Yang, are you injured?"

After a brief silence, Kong Nian was the first to speak.

However, her very first sentence caused everyone's expressions to freeze.

This form of address was far too intimate and sickeningly sweet; even the brow beneath Su Yan's black cloth furrowed slightly.

She truly didn't know when they had become so close.

Gu Yang's expression darkened; he knew Kong Nian was doing this on purpose.

"Miss Kong, why have you come?"

His tone and attitude were incredibly distant, forming a sharp contrast to Kong Nian's warmth.

Kong Nian's expression froze for a moment, but she still walked quickly to the bedside.

"I heard something happened to you and rushed over immediately. How could Liu Yiyi have escaped? What did she do to you?"

Her agitation and worry did not seem like an act.

Gu Yang had already sensed Su Yan's emotions and wished he could make Kong Nian leave immediately.

But he knew in his heart that the more he drove her away, the less likely she would be to leave, and she might even angrily tell Su Yan the truth.

"I'm fine. Liu Yiyi has already been dealt with by the captain of the Special Operations Team."

"Liu Yiyi is dead?"

This was indeed something Kong Nian had not expected; her surprise was genuine.

Gu Yang: "Yes."

Kong Nian let out a heavy breath, her expression turning sinister. "That woman repeatedly committed evil and even harmed you like this; she truly deserved to die."

Standing to the side, Gan Hua felt a sense of relief upon hearing that Liu Yiyi had been brought to justice.

He also hated that woman to his very core and was glad to see her gone.

Ma Chulan's wandering gaze shifted incessantly between Su Yan, Gu Yang, and Kong Nian.

She already disliked Kong Nian, and listening to the conversation between Kong Nian and Gu Yang made her feel even more bewildered.

"Brother Gu, are you and Miss Kong very close?"

She asked this question on Su Yan's behalf.

Although she didn't quite understand what Su Yan was thinking—since Su Yan hadn't interrupted them—what girl wouldn't actually care?

Gu Yang wanted to give Ma Chulan a great deal of credit; he was currently worrying about how to explain things to Su Yan.

"I encountered danger twice before, and Miss Kong happened to step in and help, so we became friends. I am also very grateful that Miss Kong came to visit this time."

As he spoke, he looked toward Su Yan.

In truth, he was also trying to tell her that there was absolutely no special romantic feeling between him and Kong Nian.

Su Yan, of course, understood his meaning. The reason she showed no reaction was that she had been thinking about something else entirely.

However, Gu Yang's explanation caused a shadow to flicker in the depths of Kong Nian's eyes.

"Brother Gu Yang, our concern isn't just as simple as me saving you, is it?"

After saying this, she directed a deliberately provocative gaze toward Su Yan.

In any case, the current Su Yan would absolutely be unable to remember anything from their childhood. Whether this girl could still act as "Su Yan" was entirely up to her!

Gu Yang's breath hitched, and all expression vanished from his face.

Even though he did nothing, everyone in the hospital room could feel the oppressive pressure emanating from him.

"Miss Kong, I have said everything that needs to be said."

It was a reminder, but more so a warning.

Instead of being angry, Kong Nian smiled; the more he cared about this matter, the happier she became.

"Brother Gu Yang, are you sure?"

Now, she had to let him know that she was the one in control between them.

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow, suppressing the fury in his heart; for the first time, he was this angry with someone.

The people in the hospital room were not fools; far from it, they were each more shrewd than the last. Who couldn't see the tension between the two?

"Yan Yan, could you both step out for a moment? I have some words I want to say to Miss Kong privately."

He knew the consequences of doing this, but rather than letting Su Yan know that truth, he would rather be misunderstood and resented by her.

However, to his surprise, Su Yan was not actually angry.

They had gone through so much together and understood each other well; how could Su Yan not trust him? The only thing she cared about was what Kong Nian was using to threaten Gu Yang.

Ma Chulan and Gan Hua both widened their eyes, not expecting this turn of events.

After all, Su Yan was Gu Yang's fiancée. Now, he was asking his fiancée to leave for the sake of another woman?

Was this appropriate?

But they were not Su Yan; she had already stood up from her chair.

Seeing that she was actually walking out, the two could only follow in shock.

From beginning to end, Kong Nian kept her arms crossed over her chest, watching Su Yan's figure disappear outside the door with a triumphant look, as if she had achieved victory.

This was only the beginning. Aside from this man, sooner or later, she would reclaim her power.

"Su Yan, don't be angry. They must have something important to discuss."

After coming out, Ma Chulan comforted her awkwardly and helplessly.

Su Yan gave her a small smile. "I'm not angry."

Ma Chulan froze. She indeed couldn't see any sign of anger, yet she felt that something was strangely off.

But as long as Su Yan's emotions weren't agitated, it was fine.

"Then are we just waiting here?"

"No need. Don't you still have to handle the discharge procedures? I'll go back to my room to rest." After saying this, Su Yan walked straight toward her own room.

"Miss Su, I have a few words I wish to say to you." The reason Gan Hua had accompanied Kong Nian was that he had his own purpose.

Su Yan gave him a faint glance. "Fine, follow me."

Inside the hospital room, where only Gu Yang and Kong Nian remained, the air was suffocatingly still.

"Kong Nian, what were you just doing?"

This was the first time Gu Yang had called her by her full name instead of addressing her as Miss Kong.

Kong Nian's smile instead grew more brilliant; finally, there was a moment when her emotions could affect him.

"Exactly what you think. I plan to tell that impostor the truth and correct this mistake."

She was even somewhat impatient to see what kind of wonderful expression Su Yan would make when she realized she wasn't actually herself.

Gu Yang's gaze froze, and his entire being seemed shrouded in a dark shadow.

"You dare!"
