Chapter 142: Thank You Gifts
Gu An waited in the villa for two hours before Yan Xi and Gu Shen finally arrived.
She put down the cake in her hand and stood up to ask, "Xi, where have you guys been?"
"We went out for a while."
Gu An suddenly forgot what she wanted to say next.
Yan Xi chuckled and went over to poke her puffed cheeks. "The weather is not bad today, so we went out for a walk. Why are you here?"
Gu An looked at her leg worriedly. "Xi, is your leg better? Did it hurt from the walk?"
"No. it didn't." Yan Xi waved her hand. "I'm fine."
Hearing that, Gu An did not ask more. She picked up her big bag and bowed to Yan Xi with a serious expression.
"Xi, thank you very much for saving me before. I'm also very sorry that you were injured because of me, so I specially prepared a thank you gift for you!"
"These are all the albums of your favorite band, Queen! I've also found those limited editions and collections for you. Every one of them is signed by Queen."
"You bought them all?" Yan Xi's mouth was agape. She quickly went over to take the album. She almost dropped them all because the stack was too heavy.
She knew from the internet that some of the albums from the Queen were priceless. Gu An must have spent a fortune on them.
"Thank you so much, Gu An! I really, really, really love these albums!" said Yan Xi.
"That's nothing!" Gu An patted her chest and promised, "Tell me, what other bands do you like? I can help you find them all!"
"Really?" Yan Xi did not hesitate to request. "I also like a boy band. Can you help me get their autograph?"
Gu An did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Gu Shen.
"Fourth Brother, is this alright?" she remembered that the boy band was often half-naked and their dances were very sexy. She did not expect her fourth sister-in-law to be into this kind of stuff.
Gu Shen's eyes darkened.
Yan Xi shivered and immediately said, "Of course, I was just kidding."
As Yan Xi spoke, Gu An took out a wooden bento from her bag.
Yan Xi thought to herself, is this bag Doraemon's pocket? Why does she have everything in there?
The moment the bento was opened, the smell of the pastries wafted out. Inside were all the pastries from the Seven Treasures House. There was Yan Xi's favorite Pear Blossom, and also other popular pastries.
"Xi, try it!" Gu An looked at her expectantly.
Yan Xi had already put down the albums in her hand and picked up the Pear Blossom in the middle of the bento. "It's very difficult to get this one."
"That's right. That's why I asked the servants to line up at the door early in the morning." Gu An didn't take credit for it. "There's a number on the back of the bento. If you want to eat it in the future, just call the number and ask them to deliver it. I've already paid a million dollar membership fee in that shop!"
Luckily, Gu An was the little princess of the Gu family. Otherwise, the money she earned in the entertainment industry was far from enough to support herself.
However, being friends with the little princess was really great. As long as it was something that could be resolved with money, she would help. In the end, Gu An took out a thick book from her bag. It was the English edition of "Neurosurgery".
It was so thick and heavy that Gu An almost dropped it. Luckily, Yan Xi caught it in time.
Looking at the book she had been wanting to get her hand on, Yan Xi couldn't help but touch it with fondness.
"Gu An, I can't believe you got me this book." Her voice was trembling from excitement. "I thought I would never get to see the original one."
Gu An stuck out her tongue. "This isn't the original, and it was Fourth Brother who bought it for you. But don't worry, it's almost identical to that of the original one." She did not know what Gu Shen did to get people to print and copy every page of Neurology from the Sky Mountain Library, and then send it back overnight as a gift to Yan Xi.
Lost in thought, Gu An was wondering when it would be her turn to experience this kind of sweet love.
Chapter 143: Your Brother Is Better Than Them
Yan Xi moved her gaze away from the book and looked at Gu Shen who was sitting beside her. His expression was calm, but his fingertips were tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair twice, as if hinting at something.
Yan Xi smiled at him. She felt dizzy now, as if she was stepping on clouds.
She had never thought that someone would care so much about what she liked and wanted. She thought that she had no family or friends in this world, but now that she saw Gu Shen and Gu An, she felt that she was not that lonely.
Yan Xi walked to Gu Shen, squatted down, and looked up at him. "Gu Shen, thank you." Her eyes were sparkling. Gu Shen salivated uncontrollably. "As long as you like it."
"If you guys have anything to say, say it after I'm gone!" Gu An stepped in between the two and interrupted their affectionate conversation. She raised her wrist and showed it to Yan Xi.
"Xi, those things are really heavy. Look, my wrist is red from carrying them."
"I'll get you some ointment later."
"Then you have to help me apply the ointment. I don't trust anyone else."
"You are really fussy, aren't you?" Yan Xi gently tapped her head. "Come with me."
Gu Shen pursed his lips and said unhappily, "Why don't you just kick Gu An out?"
While Yan Xi was applying the ointment for her, Gu An didn't remain quiet. "Xi, I flipped through that book and found that they're filled with professional terms. Can you understand them?"
"Kind of, I'm interested in books on neurology."
"You're really something." Other than the scripts, Gu An never touched anything more than 50 pages, such as the instruction manual for the microwave.
That was why on the first day she used it, she blew up the house.
At the thought of her embarrassing incident, Gu An blushed. Gu Shen snorted. "Why? Your face needs ointment too?"
"Fourth Brother, you can't insult my face." She turned her head angrily and ignored Gu Shen.
"Xi, I've already prepared the materials and evidence. Tomorrow, I'll ask the lawyer to help me press charges against Xia Qing. I will make her pay for what she did." Hearing Xia Qing, Gu Shen's expression darkened. "I'll get you a lawyer."
Gu An widened her eyes. When did Fourth Brother become so kind?
"Lawyer Zhou?" Yan Xi stuck her head out from the side. "I think he's not bad. He's experienced and has a sharp tongue." He had successfully helped her get compensation from the Yan family.
"But your brother is the best, because these people are working for him."
Gu Shen was pleased, revealing a faint smile. "The public relations team this time will also be changed to Omei. They will be fully responsible for this incident."
Omei!
This public relations team was very famous in the industry. If Omei was responsible for handling the public relations of this incident, then Gu An could just sit back, not worried about her name being slandered.
Gu An nodded happily. "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
After getting some help, Gu An was beaming with smiles. Knowing that her brother and sister-in-law still had to have their sweet time, she couldn't continue to be the third wheel.
"Then I'll leave first." Gu An picked up the big bag. "By the way, Xixi, did your thigh get better from acupuncture? Has the red dot disappeared? I've been under a lot of pressure recently, so I want to go and get an acupuncture treatment."
When Yan Xi heard this while eating her pastries, she immediately jumped up and pushed Gu An out.
"Hurry up and leave," she said with a forced smile. If Gu An talked so much next time, she wouldn't be welcomed again.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you..." Before Gu An could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by Yan Xi.
"Shut up." She threatened in a low voice, "Otherwise, you can forget about stepping into my house ever again."
Yan Xi only let go of her when Gu An was in her car.
Gu An said aggrievedly, "Fourth sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Yan Xi answered her by slamming the door.
Chapter 144: Take Off Your Clothes
Yan Xi returned to the villa. She wanted to pretend nothing happened and get away with it.
However, Gu Shen stopped her and asked, "What happened to your thigh?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine. I just received an acupuncture treatment." After saying that, to reassure Gu Shen, Yan Xi twirled around in front of her.
Gu Shen's gaze was deep. "Where did you receive the acupuncture treatment? Why has no one ever told me about it?"
"In the city." Yan Xi said ambiguously, "Hey, it's not a big deal. Maybe they told you but you forgot."
"Let me see."
"It's on my thigh." Yan Xi chuckled. "It's not inappropriate to show my thigh here."
Gu Shen was serious. "It's my house. What's inappropriate about that?"
"Well..."
Gu Shen repeated impatiently, "Let me take a look."
"It's really nothing." Yan Xi was trying the best to figure out an excuse. In the end, she placed her hand on the waist of her pants. "Do you want to see? Then I'll take off my pants now."
Gu Yi and the others immediately lowered their heads, pretending not to exist.
Gu Shen's expression did not change and he continued to look at Yan Xi.
"If you don't say anything, I really take it off."
Gu Shen did not speak. He only waved his hand to let everyone in the villa leave. Then he looked up at Yan Xi, indicating for her to take off her clothes.
They were a lawful couple. They had seen her breasts, kissed her mouth, and spanked her, so what was inappropriate about looking at her thigh?
Yan Xi felt her hair stand on end from his gaze. She placed her hand on the belt and then thought better of it. Why wasn't Gu Shen following the rules? This was the hall, shouldn't he turn around and say that he would let her go this time?
"Why did you stop?"
Yan Xi's face was red. "Why should I take off my clothes and let you take advantage of me?"
Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Xi with a faint smile. "Then I'll take off my clothes too. Let's look at each other."
"In your dreams!" Yan Xi's face was even redder than before.
Gu Shen didn't say anything else. After a while, he sighed faintly.
"Yan Xi, I'm not trying to force you to do anything. I'm just worried that you might be injured somewhere and won't tell me. You asked me to receive treatment, why can't I ask you to receive treatment?"
When Gu Shen's tone softened, so did her heart. "Actually, I'm really fine. I just didn't feel well, so I went for an acupuncture session."
"Show me." He softened his voice. "Please?"
Yan Xi was helpless. "Then I'll go upstairs and change into a pair of loose pants." She did not want to run around naked in the hall.
After changing, Yan Xi went straight to Gu Shen's room. She was now wearing a pair of silk loose pants. When she rolled it up, red dots appeared one after another.
The red dots had almost healed, but they had not fully gone yet, and it looked very frightening
Gu Shen's expression immediately darkened. "What happened? Who did the acupuncture for you?!" He gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, his face turning pale from the sight of her thigh. "Yan Xi, you don't want this leg anymore, do you?!"
This was what she meant by "I'm fine".
"I just felt that my thigh hurt a little two days ago, so I found a random acupuncturist to help me. It's really fine. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Gu Shen continued to ask, "Which acupuncturist?"
"I don't remember? A random one."
Gu Shen was so angry that he was gritting his teeth. "You don't remember! What are you busy thinking about everyday? Do you want to end up like me, a cripple?"
If an acupuncturist made a mistake on her thigh with the needles, she would end up a cripple like him.
"Okay, it's fine if you don't remember. I'll get Gu Liu to look into it. There's no need for this acupuncturist to exist in this world."
"Gu Shen, can you not be so angry? It's not as serious as you think."
"Don't be angry?" Gu Shen grabbed Yan Xi and pinched her chin. "Do you want me to wait until something bad happens to you before being angry?"
