Bab 231: Chapter 231: Still Thinking of a Way (2)

Zhong Lingling shuddered with fright but Luo Ye quickly averted his gaze. It was actually Xiang Miaomiao at his side who, upon hearing Luo Ye speak, was overjoyed.

Zhong Lingling thought that when Luo Ye finished answering Wang Xueyun's question and seemed to look at her, she was surely overthinking it.

While bowed over her food, she suddenly heard Xiang Zongyin call out to her. "Lingling!"

"Ah?" Zhong Lingling raised her head.

"How is it? Do you have any confidence in curing the Second Prince's illness?"

Zhong Lingling had wanted to say that she was still unsure, but seeing the eager gaze shooting from behind the golden mask opposite her, Luo Xuanyu showing such expectancy, such heart-wrenching eyes, how could she bear to plunge him into despair?

"I'm still thinking of a way!" was all Zhong Lingling could reply.

Her heart grew increasingly anxious.

No, she had to speed up!

Zhong Lingling ate faster, her mind fixated on the books in the basement.
