Chapter 145: Is This Prison Roleplay?
"That's not what I mean." Yan Xi frowned and wanted to explain. "I know you're worried about me, but..."
However, what else could she say? She couldn't possibly tell him that she did the acupuncture herself and that she knew very well about acupuncture.
Yan Xi sighed and her tone softened. "Gu Shen, I know I was wrong. I won't do this again. Can you..." She bit her lip and looked tearful. "Don't blame me anymore."
She was pleading and afraid.
Looking at her almond-shaped eyes, the anger in Gu Shen's heart was extinguished again.
Gu Shen let go of Yan Xi and put down her rolled up pants to cover the scary sight. His movements were very light, as if he was protecting some fragile porcelain.
After a long silence, he said again, "Yan Xi, my legs can't walk, but yours can, so protect them."
His heart ached every time he looked at the scars and red dots on her legs.
"Promise me, okay?"
Yan Xi nodded, looking much more obedient. "I understand. Next time, I won't let myself get injured again."
"You'd better be." Gu Shen's tone changed to one that was filled with threat. "If you get injured again, then stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll lock you up with a chain."
Yan Xi nodded, then looked up excitedly. "Is this a prison roleplay?"
After the dispute ended, Yan Xi stayed in Gu Shen's room. Remember the book Gu Shen gave her, she asked casually, "How on earth did you get that book?"
"I got someone to print it."
"Is that okay?"
No, strictly speaking, but for Yan Xi, he used his overseas connections.
"Thank you for the gift. I really like it!" Yan Xi leaned over and kissed Gu Shen on the cheek. "Hubby, you're the best."
"It's good that you like it." Gu Shen smiled and returned to his usual calm self. "I know many friends, so I can help you get whatever you want."
"Okay." After praising him, Yan Xi asked excitedly, "Gu Shen, what other surprises do you have in store for me that I don't know?"
She remembered that the book mentioned that Gu Shen graduated from Ivy University and had a dual degree in finance and electronic information technology. He was, in a word, excellent in every aspect.
"You want to know?"
Yan Xi nodded vigorously.
"I'll tell you in the future." Gu Shen smiled at her. "That way, I can keep you hooked."
"You badass!"
Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. "Don't be naughty next time if you want surprises."
Yan Xi mumbled, pouting, "I'm not being naughty."
Gu Shen chuckled, and pinched her face, "Naughty girl."
A while later Yan Xi suddenly asked, "What do you think of me?"
Gu Shen hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer that question.
Yan Xi widened her eyes and pointed at Gu Shen. "You think I'm a foodie, don't you?"
Gu Shen smiled. "What's wrong with being a foodie?"
"No, I'm not. I'm actually very good at something!" Yan Xi retorted. In her original world, she was called a genius doctor.
Gu Shen looked at her with a deep gaze.
He had always known that Yan Xi was smart and was quick on the uptake. If she wasn't smart, he wouldn't have fallen in love with her.
However, Yan Xi seemed to have suddenly become smarter. This was a change that he had not expected.
Chapter 146: An Unexpected Scammer
When Yan Xi returned to her room, she immediately sent Zhou Xu the acupuncture video and nerve chart that she had compiled herself, then asked him about the diagnosis today.
He quickly sent him the modified treatment plan. "Senior, Mr. Gu is very cooperative with our treatment. Moreover, his physical condition is very good, so I'm very confident in treating Mr. Gu."
Yan Xi quickly browsed the proposal and highlighted the dosage.
"Why is this part different from what we discussed before?"
"I found that Mr. Gu's physical fitness and endurance are very strong, so I increased the dosage. This way, the treatment will be more effective."
However, every 1-mg increase in the medicine would make Gu Shen suffer more.
Yan Xi wanted Zhou Xu to reduce the dosage of the medicine, but thought better of it.
She knew she shouldn't be too emotional.
Zhou Xu's treatment plan was well-thought-out. It was the best plan he could come up with, and it was undiluted with personal emotions. It was Yan Xi who couldn't bear watching Gu Shen suffer.
As a doctor, personal emotions were a taboo because it would hinder the treatment.
"I understand. Let's do it your way." When Yan Xi sent this message, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.
Gu Shen had already endured too much pain, and during the treatment, this pain would be ten times, even a hundred times worse than before. Everyone felt that Gu Shen's endurance for pain was very strong, but it was after all Gu Shen who suffered the pain.
Yan Xi sniffed and wiped away the tears that flowed down her face.
All she could do now was help Zhou Xu treat Gu Shen so that he would not be in pain for the rest of his life.
Yan Xi was a little tired from crying last night, so she slept until noon the next day before waking up.
Her eyes were already red and she felt a slight pain when she blinked. When the pain eased a little, she walked downstairs.
"Madam." Xiaolan was busy cleaning the room and did not notice her red eyes. "The car the CEO bought for you is already in the underground garage. Do you want to go and take a look?"
A car? Yan Xi paused for a moment before recalling that Gu Shen promised to buy her a car.
She had already forgotten about this. She did not expect Gu Shen to really mean it. What kind of good deeds Yan Xi had done in her previous life to deserve such a good husband?
The temptation of a new car was irresistible. Yan Xi rushed to the underground garage immediately.
The car Gu Shen bought for her was a Mercedes, worth about two million.
This car should have been modified by Gu Shen. The color of the car was different, and the body of the car was modified into that of a bulletproof body. Other than that, the glass was also replaced with bulletproof glass. Even if it was shot by an AK47, the car's body and glass would not be damaged at all.
All this modification should've cost more than the car itself.
Yan Xi clicked her tongue and wanted to try it out. The chauffeur was occasionally busy, so a car would come in handy sometimes.
The door of the underground garage was opened. Yan Xi drove out and leisurely had a joy ride around the villa. The new car was really good. It was very powerful. After going around several times, Yan Xi still didn't want to let go of her hands on the steering wheel.
Uncle Hai stood beside the flowers and gave her an idea. "Madam, you can drive around the outermost road of the residential area."
"Thank you, Uncle Hai." Yan Xi rolled down the window. "Do you want to come up and join me?"
Uncle Hai refused with a smile. He felt that his old body would likely crumble if Yan Xi was driving for him. The residential area Yan Xi was in was called Jing Nan. The residents all lived far apart from each other, so the privacy was very good. In the evening, servants would bring their young master and Miss to the park in the middle of the residential area to play. However, because it was currently noon, after leaving her villa, Yan Xi did not see any pedestrians. She drove two rounds on the road before finally returning to her villa. The journey was smooth. However, when she turned a corner, a woman in a red dress suddenly popped up in front of her.
The woman screamed and fell to the ground.
Yan Xi frowned and looked around, thinking to herself, are there scammers around Jing Nan?
Chapter 147: You Killed Him!
Yan Xi opened the car door and got out with her phone.
"Hey!" After shouting, she took a few steps back warily. "Are you alright?"
The woman stood up with her hands on the ground. She swept away the hair that scattered in front of her, revealing a twisted face.
"Yan Xi, you finally showed up!"
Yan Xi narrowed her eyes, unable to remember who the woman was.
"It's all because of you, bitch." The woman walked up, her eyes filled with hatred. She grabbed Yan Xi's arm with a lot of strength and stabbed her sharp nails into it.
"You killed Zhang Ming. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't have died at all! You should be buried with him!"
"You lunatic!"
Yan Xi shook off her hand and kicked her to the ground.
She looked down and realized that the woman in front of her was Su Wan, the Host's fake bestie. On the first day she came into the book, she blocked Su Wan's contact number and forgot about her existence. However, it wasn't Yan Xi's fault that she couldn't recognize Su wan. Her face was completely different from before. It was covered in hyaluronic acid, and the nose job she did was simply a disaster. Even if her mother was here, she probably couldn't recognize her own daughter either.
Su Wan stood up from the ground. She brushed the dust off her dress and due to anger, her face was even more twisted than before. She touched the foldable knife in her bag and sneered at Yan Xi.
"You heartless witch. Why did Zhang Ming fall in love with you back then? He went to jail for you and even died for you. Yan Xi, you should die with him."
Yan Xi had been watching Su Wan's every move. She put away her phone and smiled sarcastically.
"Did you say he likes me? Aren't the two of you always sleeping together behind my back? Su Wan, don't you feel ashamed to say that?"
Su Wan looked away, but she shouted louder than before, "Nonsense! It's all your fault. Stop denying it, you bitch."
"Zhang Ming deserved to be imprisoned, and his death has nothing to do with me."
"How dare you say it has nothing to do with you!" A fierce look flashed across Su Wan's eyes. She took out the foldable knife in her bag and stabbed Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was already prepared. Dodging to the side, she grabbed Su Wan's arm, twisted her hand, and then kicked her in the chest.
She did not use much strength, but Su Wan was sent flying two meters away and fell to the ground.
Yan Xi picked up the foldable knife and walked over slowly. She squatted down and patted Su Wan's face with the back of the knife.
"Enough. Tell me what happened to Zhang Ming."
Su Wan opened her eyes. She gritted her teeth and glared at Yan Xi fiercely. "Stop acting like you are innocent. You knew Gu Shen sent people to the prison and beat Zhang Ming to death."
Yan Xi's tone was calm. "You got any evidence?" Gu Shen had a good temper and had always been gentle. How could he do such a thing?
"Other than him, who else would do such a cruel thing?"
"Maybe Zhang Ming caused trouble in the prison and offended others." With Zhang Ming's arrogant personality, Yan Xi felt that the possibility of that happening was very high.
"How can you still be so calm after knowing about his death? Do you even have a heart?" Yan Xi no longer had the intention to continue the conversation with her.
She warned, "If I hear you accusing Gu Shen of murder, I'll let you experience what real murder is. For example, when I stab you here with a knife, you'll feel very painful, but you can't die immediately."
Yan Xi's tone was scary. Su Wan shuddered and swallowed the words she wanted to say.
She blinked and her face gradually turned pale, but in her eyes, one could tell she was scheming something.
"Yan Xi, why have you changed so much? Don't you hate Gu Shen the most? Don't you like Zhang Ming? Is Gu Shen forcing you? We can work together to avenge Zhang Ming."
"Are you crazy?" Yan Xi rolled her eyes. "No wonder you hit my car. I think I should send you straight to the mental hospital."
