Chapter 494 - 494: Threat of Mutual Destruction – Part 3

When both Nan Yan and Hua Shifang were in the operating room saving Fu Yubai, Qin Lu got wind of the news from Tao Qingming.

He hurried back to the hospital.

After nearly five hours of intense rescue efforts, Fu Yubai finally stabilized and was out of immediate danger.

As Nan Yan emerged from the operating room, Hua Shifang took advantage of her momentary distraction and swiftly inserted a silver needle behind her neck.

Nan Yan’s body went limp, her eyes closing as she fell backwards.

Quick on his feet, Qin Lu caught her, cradling her in his arms as he looked at Hua Shifang in confusion.

“Nan Yan’s physical and mental strength have been greatly depleted. She must rest properly. However, given her personality, she’ll likely investigate who harmed Fu Yubai first rather than rest voluntarily,” Hua Shifang explained.

Therefore, Hua Shifang opted to forcibly make Nan Yan, who hadn’t slept for two days and nights, get some rest.

Understanding the situation, Qin Lu said, “I’ll take her to Director Tao’s resting room.”

“Good,” Hua Shifang nodded, then added, “Light some soothing incense in her room to help her sleep longer.”

“Got it.”

Qin Lu carried Nan Yan to Tao Qingming’s resting room.

Having heard Hua Shifang’s instructions earlier, Tao Qingming had someone fetch the best box of calming incense and a censer, then brought them in.

After Tao Qingming left after delivering the incense, Qin Lu closed the door of the resting room before returning to the bedside. He helped Nan Yan remove her coat and then her shoes and socks, ensuring she could sleep more comfortably.

Her skin was as fair and delicate as jade, her exquisite features radiant and enchanting, making her incomparably beautiful.

Only when he saw her sleeping peacefully did Qin Lu understand what a sleeping beauty truly was.

She had been pushing herself too hard lately, lacking rest. Already exhausted, she had now endured two days and nights without sleep, with faint dark circles forming under her eyes.

Qin Lu gently brushed his fingertips over her smooth cheek, his voice tinged with helplessness. “You stubborn girl, why don’t you ever take care of yourself…”

But he also knew that Nan Yan was just like this by nature.

And he, too, was drawn to her personality. His heart was filled with her, softening even the most hardened parts.

“Nan Yan, it seems like I’m losing control more and more, of my impulses towards you…”

Only he knew how much influence Nan Yan had over him.

He was a normal man, and in the face of the girl he liked, he had always suppressed his feelings, enduring and not wanting to hurt her.

But if he could completely restrain himself, then it wouldn’t be love.

Qin Lu kissed her lips delicately, savoring her sweetness as he gently explored her lips.

Nan Yan was in a deep sleep, having exhausted herself trying to save Fu Yubai, whose energy had long been depleted.

Hua Shifang’s needle induced her into a deep sleep, and before drifting off, she was aware that Fu Yubai was no longer in life-threatening danger. With her mind at ease, she slipped into a profound slumber.

Therefore, Nan Yan had no awareness of what Qin Lu did after she fell asleep..
