Yan Qingqing glanced at her brother and smiled at Gong Lu. “Brother Lu, let Jiaojiao take a look. My brother has been worried about your health these past few days and hasn’t been able to sleep well. Look at my brother’s eyes, he has dark circles now.”

Hearing Yan Qingqing’s words, Gong Lu immediately looked at Yan Zhengchen.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that Yan Zhengchen did have some faint dark circles under his eyes.

He suddenly felt conflicted and confused.

All along, whatever happened to Gong Lu, whether it was a good or a bad thing, Yan Zhengchen would always treat it as a very important matter.

It was also because of this that he gradually realized that he couldn’t leave him at all.

Yan Zhengchen coughed awkwardly. “It’s not as exaggerated as Qingqing made it out to be. I’ve been rather busy lately, so I don’t sleep much at night.”

Yan Qingqing glanced at him in disdain.

She knew her brother better than anyone else.

Her brother must have denied it because he didn’t want Gong Lu to feel guilty.

He just refused to admit it!

“Brother Lu, let me take your pulse,” Chi Jiao said decisively.

Gong Lu nodded.

While Chi Jiao was checking his pulse, Yan Zhengchen kept staring at them nervously.

Yan Qingqing couldn’t help recalling those classic scenes from period television dramas.

The husband waiting anxiously for the doctor to take his wife’s pulse.

Her brother really valued Gong Lu more than anyone else.

No one was completely invulnerable!

“It’s nothing serious. You’ll be fine if you take flu medicine as prescribed.” Chi Jiao looked at him. “Brother Lu, have you been in a bad mood recently? I feel like your blood circulation is a little stagnant.”

Typically, stagnation in blood circulation was caused by depression.

Gong Lu was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly recovered and smiled. He shook his head.

“Brother Luuuuu.” Chi Jiao dragged out his name in a reprimanding tone. “You’re lying…”

Gong Lu looked at her dark, bright eyes and sighed helplessly. “I really can’t hide anything from your eyes.”

“Why are you depressed?” Yan Zhengchen asked nervously. “Is it because your mother is urging you to go for a matchmaking session again?”

Usually, Gong Lu would only be depressed when he was forced to go on matchmaking sessions.

Yan Zhengchen had hit the nail on the head again. Gong Lu nodded silently.

“Auntie knows that you are against marriage?” Yan Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

In their circle, her elder brother and Gong Lu were both against marriage. This was no secret.

She felt that Catherine should know, too.

Forcing a person who was opposed to marriage to go for matchmaking sessions was like forcing a vegetarian to eat meat. There was a complete lack of respect.

“She knows, but she won’t accept it,” Gong Lu said slowly.

“Brother Lu, no matter what decision you make, you just have to remember that you have our support. Even if your mother doesn’t support you, don’t be discouraged. With us backing you, you can say no to anything you don’t like,” Chi Jiao said clearly.

“Jiaojiao is right. Brother Lu, you have to decide on your own life. Don’t compromise with others..” Yan Qingqing raised her fists.
