Xia Yinian gave him a reassuring look, signaling him to go out first.
"Brother Ling, you can rest assured, how could someone as gentle as Aunt Yu ever hurt me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yinian's gaze fell on Yu Wanqing.
Yu Wanqing met her gaze and slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.
"Go ahead and take care of your affairs, Ling Qian, I'm here."
Gu Lingqian wasn't keen on leaving the two alone, but since it was Nian Nian's wish, he reluctantly left.
He stood up, placing the bowl and utensils on the tray.
"Then I'll step out. If anything happens, remember to ring the bell."
"Alright, there really won't be any issues, we're just going to chat," Xia Yinian nodded lightly.
Gu Lingqian turned around and took the tray out.
Still feeling uneasy, he didn't close the door to the ward completely but left it slightly ajar.
