When Yan Xi arrived at Gu Shen's room, she realized that he was already applying the ointment on himself. His pants were rolled up, and the needle marks were no longer as obvious.

She stopped in her tracks and touched her nose awkwardly. "You've already applied it on yourself. Why did you still ask me to come?"

"I'm not feeling well." Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi. "It hurts where the needle marks are."

"Why does it hurt?" Yan Xi immediately walked over and carefully checked Gu Shen's needle mark. "Where does it hurt? Is it continuous pain or periodic pain?"

Yan Xi waited for Gu Shen to answer, but he did not say anything. When she looked up, their eyes met.

"Now you want to talk to me?" He grabbed Yan Xi's waist and pulled her closer to him.

"I didn't ignore you." Yan Xi avoided Gu Shen's gaze. "I just have something else to do. Even if we're husband and wife, we can't be together all the time."

"But I want to be with you all the time." Gu Shen chuckled. "So did you finish your stuff?"

Her conversation with Zhou Xu had just begun, and she had yet to read the literature and clinical review.

Yan Xi coughed and said slowly, "I finished it, so now I have time to be with you."

"Okay." After saying that, Gu Shen pinched Yan Xi's chin and kissed the corner of her lips.

Unlike before, Gu Shen was unusually gentle this time. He pecked her a few times before separating from her.

"Are you still angry?" His voice was soft, and he actually sounded aggrieved.

Yan Xi's heart immediately softened. She raised her head and kissed the corner of Gu Shen's mouth.

"No, I'm not too angry. It's just..." She didn't know how to bring herself to talk to Gu Shen.

"It's my fault this time."

"Huh?" Yan Xi could not believe what she heard.

"I shouldn't have said that." Gu Shen admitted it very frankly. He had also thought of telling her about the shares, but in the end, he decided to coax her in another way.

He took out a small box from behind him and handed it to Yan Xi.

"See if you like it."

Yan Xi opened it and found a necklace inside. The chain was a little thick and there were diamonds on it. No matter which angle she looked at it from, it was sparkling like Yan Xi's eyes when she smiled.

In the middle was a dark blue gem. It was like a quiet sea, attracting Yan Xi's attention at a glance.



Chapter 174: It's All Hers

"For me?" Yan Xi was surprised.

Very few women would be indifferent to jewelry, especially such beautiful jewelry. She immediately tied up her long hair and moved her slender neck closer to Gu Shen.

"Help me put it on."

There was a fragrance in Yan Xi's hair. The fragrance was very light, like lilies that one smelled by the roadside. It made one want to go over and explore.

Gu Shen gulped and helped Yan Xi put on the necklace. His fingers accidentally brushed against Yan Xi's neck, making her feel a surge of heat running up her body.

"Alright." Gu Shen let go and looked at the necklace. "It's very beautiful and suits you well."

"I'll go take a look." Yan Xi couldn't wait to walk into the bathroom. Then, she was dazzled by the sapphire necklace in the mirror and felt like she was in the deep sea.

She touched it lovingly and ran out to hug Gu Shen, kissing him hard on the cheek.

"This is really beautiful. I like it!"

The corners of Yan Xi's lips curled up, and her eyes sparkled. To Gu Shen, her eyes were brighter than gems.

"It's good that you like it. Am I being nice enough this time, Mrs. Gu?" The man deliberately lowered his voice as he whispered to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi blushed. She stared at Gu Shen's lips and slowly leaned over. After kissing his lips for a while, she carefully stuck her tongue in.

Gu Shen grabbed Yan Xi by the hips and tried to assume the control of the situation, sucking out every breath in Yan Xi's mouth.

When they separated, Yan Xi was panting and her mind was blank.

Seeing that Gu Shen was about to come over again, she immediately changed the topic. "Does your leg still hurt?"

"It's fine now." Although he didn't want to admit it, Gu Shen still said, "Zhou Xu's skills are better than Qin Liang's."

"That's good." Yan Xi tried her best to maintain her composure so that she wouldn't get too carried away by the praise.

In the next second, Gu Shen continued, "Qin Liang's technique is very similar to the acupuncture studio you found in the shopping center."

Yan Xi couldn't claim the credit yet, so she reluctantly gave the credit to Zhou Xu. "Doctor Zhou will be very happy to hear your praise."

Gu Shen nodded coldly and asked, "Tomorrow, you..."

"I'm going to the Medical University tomorrow to get your nerve cell smear to the lab."

"Then the day after?"

"I'm going to get the results the day after tomorrow. This is very important, so they can work on it overnight."

Gu Shen frowned. "Leave such a small matter to Gu Qi."

"Gu Qi doesn't normally go with you to the rehabilitation center, so there are some things that he doesn't know."

"That's why he needs to learn," Gu Shen said. "I'm not giving him such a high salary to be lazy."

Yan Xi asked, "Is there anything you need me to attend with you?"

Gu Shen coughed and said seriously, "There have been a few new movies recently. I wonder if you'll like them."

"You want to ask me out for a movie?" Yan Xi immediately looked at Gu Shen with a fervent gaze. "Okay, what do you want to see? Do you want to go out and watch?"

"At the home theater," Gu Shen explained.

He wouldn't go out to the movies for security reasons.

The home theater had luxurious facilities, and the movie content was synchronized with the theater. All the latest movies were available.

Yan Xi rescheduled her time and said, "Then I'll go to the Medical University at seven in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. After that, I'll come back to watch a movie with you."

This was the first time Yan Xi went to see a movie with the opposite sex. It sounded like a date.

"Then it's settled. We'll have popcorn and Coke then." She couldn't help but reveal an expectant look. "Then I'll go back and rest! You should go to bed early too."

'Do you have anything else to do?'

"I'm going to read." She still had a few English documents she hadn't read.

"You're hardworking." Gu Shen sounded somewhat unhappy. "Remember to sleep early."

"Okay." Yan Xi kissed his cheek and ran away before the man could react. "You should rest early too."

Gu Shen paused for a moment and smiled. He took out his phone and sent Gu Yi a message.

"Buy the emerald from the Lin City auction."
