Chapter 189 - Take Her to the Hot Spring
Chapter 189: Take Her to the Hot Spring
Zhou Xu stayed up late for two days and finally had a good sleep.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to turn on his phone. There was a message from Yan Xi.
[Not only did Gu Shen start to feel his legs, but he also felt a slight pain. However, the pain was very short-lived.]
This meant that their treatment plan was working fine!
Zhou Xu jumped up from the bed and asked Yan Xi a few more questions, to which she replied professionally.
Yan Xi looked at the time Zhou Xu replied and shook her head disapprovingly. She wondered how he got his PhD if he spent so much time sleeping.
Yan Xi yawned and continued to deal with the literature review. She had been staying up late these few days to organize the related literature.
Now the dark circles under her eyes were getting darker. She looked haggard, and acne started to pop out of nowhere.
Yan Xi sighed and gently patted her face. “Hang in there. When Gu Shen’s surgery is over, I can rest for all I want.”
Gu Shen also noticed how haggard Yan Xi looked. She had lost a lot of weight recently because she was always on the go and didn’t have time to properly eat.
“You don’t have to go with me to the follow-up on Friday. Rest well at home. Gu Qi and Gu Er will go with me.”
“No.” Yan Xi widened her eyes, but she couldn’t help but yawn. “I’m not tired. Why don’t you want me to go with you?”
“You don’t look well.” Gu Shen touched her face. “If you want to go with me, go and rest now.”
“No, I still have something to do.” After saying that, Yan Xi suddenly thought of something. “Is my face really bad? Do I look ugly?”
She wasn’t ugly, just pale. She looked more like a patient than Gu Shen did.
Gu Shen did not say anything. Yan Xi pursed her lips and asked nervously, “Am I really ugly now? You won’t dislike me because of that, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Xi felt a knock on her forehead.
“Don’t let your imagination run away with you. I just think you’re too tired and I want you to rest. Staying up late is very detrimental to your body.”
Yan Xi touched her forehead. “But there are a lot of things Gu Er and the others don’t understand.” She glanced at Gu Shen and announced, “Anyway, I’ll go with you.”
If she insisted on going with him, Gu Shen naturally couldn’t stop her, but he could get Gu An to help.
…
When Gu An received Gu Shen’s call, she shivered in fear and quickly wondered if she had done something wrong.
She hadn’t been causing trouble recently. After Xia Qing went to jail, her haters online reduced a lot. She had also successfully terminated her contract with her company and even started filming a new drama recommended by Yan Xi, so she had been quite busy lately.
Since she had done nothing wrong, why did Gu Shen call her?
Gu An picked up the phone nervously.
“What’s the matter, Fourth Brother?”
“Take a few days off from the drama crew and take Yan Xi to have fun. I’ll cover all the expenses.”
“Really?” Gu An was puzzled and accidentally said what was on her mind. “How can you be so kind?”
Gu Shen snorted. “No, I’m only giving you one chance. Are you going or not?”
“Of course I am.” Gu An smiled and immediately made a suggestion, “It just so happens that there is a new hot spring in South Mountain. A lot of my friends who have been there said it’s good. The weather has been so cold recently, so I think it’s a good idea to take Yan Xi there for a relaxing hot spring.”
After saying that, she didn’t forget to promise, “Fourth Brother, don’t worry. There won’t be any incidents this time. If anything wants to harm Fourth Sister-in-law, they can only do it over my dead body!”
Gu Shen was relieved to hear that. He instructed, “Make sure your sister-in-law has fun and relaxes herself. When you come back, I’ll invest in a few more dramas for you.”
“No problem!”
When the call ended, the assistant walked in. “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly so happy?”
Gu An chuckled. “Because I just received a windfall. As expected, sucking up to Xixi was the right decision.”
