She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 437 Kissing Her Lips

Chen Li looked at Nan Yu, "Young Madam, what should we do now?"

Nan Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, "Let them come over, but don't tell Gu Chuxin that I'm here too."

"You wait here, I'll go upstairs to find Huo Junyan first."

Chen Li nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Nan Yu got up and went upstairs. As soon as she got up, she saw Huo Junyan sitting in a wheelchair after finishing his medicinal bath and changing into clean pajamas.

When Xia Xing saw Nan Yu at the door, he immediately said to Huo Junyan, "Mr. Huo, the young mistress has arrived."

Huo Junyan paused in his buttoning motion, then finished buttoning all the buttons, slowly turned around, and looked at Nan Yu.

"what happened?"

Nan Yu stepped forward. "I have something I want to tell you."

Seeing that the two had something to say, Xia Xing didn't say anything more and quickly left.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door.

For a moment, only the two of them remained in the bedroom.

Nan Yu took two steps forward and came to Huo Junyan's side.

"Gu Chuxin is here. She said she wants to treat your leg."

Huo Junyan looked at Nan Yu, who was getting closer and closer to him, his Adam's apple bobbing, and asked her, "What do you want me to do?"

With just one sentence, he knew that Nan Yu had come to ask him for help.

Nan Yu smiled brightly. "I hope you'll say yes."

Huo Junyan hummed softly, "Hmm?"

Nan Yu explained, "My master left me a medicinal herb called Longevity Flower. Gu Chuxin snatched it away at the last banquet."

"Gu Chuxin is probably here to find you because she wants to use that longevity flower to cure your legs. As long as you have that medicine, your legs will be completely healed in less than three days, and you will be able to stand up again."

Hearing this, Huo Junyan looked up in surprise, "This longevity flower is so miraculous?"

Nan Yu nodded, "My mother is able to live well now because I used the Longevity Flower."

Huo Junyan pursed his thin lips. "So now you want me to snatch the longevity flower back from Gu Chuxin?"

Nan Yu was surprised that Huo Junyan understood her so well. She smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, it should be said that it was returned to its rightful owner."

“That longevity flower was left to me by my master. It originally belonged to me. Gu Chuxin took it from me, so it’s only right that we take it back together.”

Seemingly afraid that Huo Junyan would reject her, she added a few more words.

"And I also want to know the truth about my master from her."

Huo Junyan rubbed his fingertips, his eyes dark and gloomy.

"Nan Yu, I'll help you."

Nan Yu, who was about to say a few more words, was stunned when she heard these words. Then she asked in surprise, "You're really willing to help me?"

Huo Junyan nodded, "Of course I'm willing. You are my wife. Gu Chuxin stole your things, which means she stole mine. Naturally, I have to take them back."

"Not only that, I will also find out the truth about your master from her."

When Nan Yu heard the words "You are my wife," her ears burned and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Huo Junyan, thank you."

Upon seeing this, Huo Junyan's gaze towards her was filled with dark emotions.

"Nanyu, you can thank me after I've taken care of everything."

After saying that, his gaze toward Nan Yu was filled with a strong sense of aggression.

Nan Yu felt her heart race slightly, and her gaze towards Huo Junyan was somewhat evasive.

Huo Junyan, sitting in his wheelchair, walked over to Nan Yu.

As he walked out the door, he turned back and said something to Nan Yu.

"You rest well in your bedroom. Leave everything else to me. Don't worry about it."

With her back to him, Nan Yu did not refuse; she nodded gently.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a door closing was heard.

Looking at her bedroom where she was all alone, Nan Yu's mind was filled with Huo Junyan's words.

"Thank him? How should we thank him?"

She slowly walked to the bedside, lay down directly on the bed, and looked at the ceiling above her head.

The intense hormonal scent emanating from Huo Junyan filled her nostrils, making her face flush red. She quickly stood up and walked towards the balcony.

I was just about to go sit on the balcony to get away from this pleasant scent.

She then saw Gu Chuxin and Ye Yu appear at the downstairs door.

Afraid of being seen, Nan Yu immediately retreated behind the wall and cautiously looked down.

She didn't come out until they had entered the hall.

Nan Yu sat on the balcony and looked down, seeing Qi Ming watering the plants on the balcony below.

On a whim, she immediately took out her phone and made a video call to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming answered the call and was about to speak when he heard Nan Yu's voice.

"Uncle Qi, don't speak, I want to ask you for a favor."

Qi Ming recognized Nan Yu's background as the bedroom balcony, and quickly looked up to see Nan Yu waving at him from the balcony.

He quickly pointed to his phone, signaling Nanyu to continue.

Nan Yu continued, "Uncle Qi, could you please put your phone by the window so I can see what's going on inside?"

Qi Ming immediately did as instructed, walked to the window, and saw that the curtains were drawn tightly, covering the entire hall.

There wasn't a single gap through which one could see what was happening inside.

Moreover, even when you listen closely, you can't hear any sound.

Qi Ming immediately lowered his voice and said to Nan Yu, "Young Madam, the young master must have something very important to do. There's no one inside, and we can't see what's going on inside."

Nan Yu saw this scene in the video, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, then we won't watch anymore. You can continue watering the flowers."

Qi Ming didn't say much, just smiled and turned to continue watering the flowers.

After hanging up the phone, Nan Yu turned around and walked to the door, intending to open it a crack to see what was happening below.

Unexpectedly, when I placed my hand on the door, I couldn't open it at all.

She quickly realized the problem.

"The door has been locked from the outside!"

The person who just left here was Huo Junyan; he was probably the one who locked the door from the inside.

But why did he lock it from the inside?
Nan Yu couldn't open the door, so she had to stay alone in the bedroom.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out why Huo Junyan did this.

In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it.

Before she knew it, Nan Yu had fallen asleep.

When she woke up again, it was completely dark.

A small lamp was on by the bedside table, its dim light slowly waking her up.

Nan Yu looked up and saw someone beside her bed.

The next second, a clear, low, and husky voice came from the other end.

"woke up?"

Nan Yu recognized the voice as Huo Junyan's and immediately sat up. "Yes, he's awake."

Immediately afterwards, all the lights in the room were turned on.

Nan Yu saw Huo Junyan sitting in a wheelchair, his expression more serious than before. She looked at him anxiously, "What happened?"

Huo Junyan immediately took out what he was holding.

"Do you think this is a longevity flower?"

Nan Yu took the black box, opened it, and saw that it contained the same longevity flower from before.

A smile appeared on her face as she turned to Huo Junyan and said, "Yes, this is the longevity flower. How did you get it?"

Sitting in his wheelchair, Huo Junyan looked at her smile and smiled back.

"It took a little effort to get it."

Hearing his relaxed tone, Nan Yu knew it couldn't be that simple, but she could also tell he didn't want to say more, so she didn't press him further.

She got out of bed, came to Huo Junyan, and said to him, "Huo Junyan, I will help you heal your legs."

After saying that, she took out the longevity flower, plucked a petal, and placed it in Huo Junyan's palm.

"Put it in your mouth."

Huo Junyan looked at the flower petals in his palm and obediently put them into his mouth.

Nan Yu took out silver needles from the side and began to insert them into several acupoints on his body.

Then she ran downstairs and returned shortly with a bowl of black Chinese medicine.

"Drink this bowl of Chinese medicine."

Huo Junyan took the Chinese medicine and drank it in front of Nan Yu.

Nan Yu looked at him expectantly, "You'll be able to stand up in three days at most."

Huo Junyan's mouth was filled with the bitter taste of Chinese medicine, but when he saw Nan Yu's smile, he unexpectedly discovered a hint of sweetness.

He looked down at Nan Yu, meeting her gaze.

"it is good."

Nan Yu suddenly remembered something, and rummaged through the bedside table drawer again. She quickly found the chocolate and turned to show it off to Huo Junyan.

"This Chinese medicine must be very bitter. Have a piece of chocolate."

After saying that, she unwrapped the chocolate and put it to Huo Junyan's lips.

Huo Junyan looked at Nan Yu, who was half-squatting in front of him, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at her thin lips.

He opened his mouth and put the chocolate in it, but his eyes remained fixed on Nan Yu's lips.

Nan Yu didn't notice the change in his gaze. She lowered her head and began to pull out the silver needles from Huo Junyan's body.

Huo Junyan's eyes darkened as he watched her fair fingers roam over his body, as if she were elegantly playing a piano piece.

When the last silver needle was removed, Nan Yu looked up and smiled sweetly at him.

"Alright, get a good rest tonight. You should feel different tomorrow."

After saying that, she stood up, packed her things, and went downstairs to find something to eat.

As she walked past Huo Junyan, Huo Junyan grabbed her arm.

"Nan Yu, besides the longevity flower, there's also your master's matter."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu immediately turned around. "Did Gu Chuxin tell you everything?"

Huo Junyan nodded slightly, "She has confessed everything."

He took his phone out of his hand and handed it to Nan Yu.

"It contains a recording of her confessing the whole truth."

Nan Yu quickly took it and listened to the recording inside.

Gu Chuxin's voice came through the phone.

"Yes, I killed Gu Gongming."

"I am clearly Gu Gongming's daughter, but he won't give me the Ghost Doctor, and instead gave it to my damned junior sister."

"He keeps saying that I am not as talented as my junior sister, and that he doesn't expect me to inherit the Ghost Doctor's mantle. He will give everything to my junior sister in the future."

"If this happened to you, could you accept that what should have been mine would end up going to that damned woman!"

"So I disagreed. That junior sister was young at the time, and I reckon Gu Gongming wouldn't have made any arrangements beforehand. So I used a slow-acting poison to gradually poison him and then watch him die in front of me."

"I felt incredibly relieved when I saw Gu Gongming die!"

"..."

Nan Yu couldn't listen to what was to come, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"If I had known from the beginning that Gu Chuxin wanted the title of Ghost Doctor, I definitely wouldn't have wanted that title; I would have just begged her not to harm my master."

Hearing Nan Yu's cries, Huo Junyan felt a pang of heartache well up in his eyes.

He took Nan Yu's hand and said, "Nan Yu, this is not your fault, it is Gu Chuxin's fault. Gu Gongming had already arranged a path for her, letting her go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to become Dean Li's apprentice, so that she wouldn't have to hide her identity and become a good doctor."

"It was Gu Chuxin's own insatiable greed that led her to want the title of 'Ghost Doctor' and to commit patricide."

"Nan Yu, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself."

Nan Yu's eyes were red, and tears slid down her cheeks.

She looked at Huo Junyan, biting her lip, and asked, "Where is Gu Chuxin now?"

Huo Junyan's eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on her hand.

"She's dead."

Nan Yu froze, looking at Huo Junyan in disbelief, "How could she be dead?"

Huo Junyan stared directly into her eyes. "After saying all that, I had someone take her to the police station. She didn't want to go to jail, so she jumped off the highway and died."

Nan Yu's body trembled. "What about her assistant?"

Huo Junyan said coldly, "After seeing Gu Chuxin die, he jumped out of the car and died as well."

After saying that, he took his phone, pulled out the video, and showed it to Nanyu.

Nan Yu watched the video, seeing Gu Chuxin and Ye Yu's clear figures jumping off the car one after the other and dying.

She closed her eyes, her gaze filled with pain.

Seeing this, Huo Junyan pulled her over and said, "Nanyu, perhaps this is Gu Gongming's punishment for Gu Chuxin. Let her go down and apologize to him in person."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu gradually calmed down.

She looked at Huo Junyan with red eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Huo Junyan looked at her and seemed to feel her inner pain. He gently pulled her into his arms.

He held her in his arms. "Nanyu, this is her retribution for what she did wrong. You don't need to feel guilty or suffer for her."

Nan Yu leaned against him, resting her head on Huo Junyan's shoulder, and gradually began to sob.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally spoke, "I'm not in pain for her, I feel sorry for my master."

“Master only had one daughter, Gu Chuxin, but she killed him with her own hands and is now committing suicide out of guilt.”

"If my master knew this in the afterlife, I wonder how much pain he would be in."

Huo Junyan gently patted Nan Yu's back to comfort her, "Nan Yu, your master only has one daughter, Gu Chuxin, but since he has this disciple, you are also considered his daughter."

"He taught you all his medical skills and gave you the name of the Ghost Doctor so that you could inherit his mantle and save more people."

“He’ll be proud of you if he sees you saving so many people from up there.”

Nan Yu slowly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked, "Really?"

Huo Junyan held her tightly in his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and touched her warm tears with his cool fingertips.

He gently wiped the corners of her eyes, again and again.

"real."

Nan Yu clutched Huo Junyan's shirt tightly and parted her red lips slightly, "Huo Junyan, thank you."

Huo Junyan looked at those red lips, his fingertips slowly sliding down from the corner of her eye to touch her lips, gently caressing them.

Then he lowered his head and touched the back of her ear with his fingers.

Kissed her lips.
