Marry And Love Her For Life: Volume 2

By Na LanJingYu

Inside the luxurious and comfortable hotel suite, a click could be heard and the door was opened by someone from outside. The drunk woman was carried into the room by a slightly sneaky figure.

When she realized that the owner of the room had left temporarily, she sent the alcohol reeking woman to the large and soft bed without hesitation.

CHAPTER 101 - C101

Suddenly, as if Ji Shenyao's body had reached its limit, she fell into his arms silently and softly.

Gu Nanxi grabbed her powerless body and raised her hand to touch her forehead. The feeling of her hands' touch had already reached an extraordinary degree, causing her to frown slightly. She immediately pulled her up by her waist and was about to gently carry her into the car.

Wait! Wait a minute... Su Xiaonuan walked around the parking lot for a long time before she found Gu Nanxi's car.

President Gu, wait a moment! Tao!

Gu Nanxi's underlings didn't stop moving. They put Ji Shenyao into the car and closed the door. Only then did they turn around and look at Su Xiaonuan, who had already run over.

President Gu, this … Su Xiaonuan ran over, panting heavily. She raised her arm and handed the bag to him. This is Sis Ji's bag. She left it here with me before she went to the washroom.

Thank you. Gu Nanxi received it and smiled to Su Xiaonuan.

Su Xiaonuan's face instantly turned red. She covered her face and giggled shyly, Sis Ji and I are good friends. President Gu, you don't have to thank me.

Gu Nanxi nodded at her with a faint smile. Shenyao is having a fever. I'll take her back first.

Mhmm, good. Hurry up and send her back. I saw that Sis Ji has been sick for the past two days, so I didn't know what happened to her. I thought it was just you and your wife arguing, but I didn't dare ask! Su Xiaonuan nodded like a chick pecking rice, and continued to look at the handsome man in front of her with admiration. She could not help but say, President Gu, do you have a younger brother? Can you introduce me to them if you have any... Cough cough … Don't think too much into it. I just want to get to know him …"

As she spoke, Su Xiaonuan's face reddened even more. She felt a little embarrassed. She raised her hand to push her eyes and lowered her head shyly.

Gu Nanxi couldn't help but laugh, No, but I do have one sister. Do you want to introduce her?

Su Xiaonuan's small face twitched. She raised her hand to scratch her hair and grinned awkwardly. Uh, then there's no need … I think my sexuality is quite normal … "

Gu Nanxi rarely let out a laugh, her low sigh made Su Xiaonuan blush in embarrassment. She kept rubbing her ears with her fingers, Then I won't disturb you. Hurry up and send Sis Ji back. Her fever is so bad.

Gu Nanxi nodded slightly and turned to open the car door.

Seeing Gu Nanxi get on the car, Su Xiaonuan waved her hands at the black Land Rover who had left in a flustered manner, her face blushing red. She muttered with a face full of smiles: Sis Ji and I are good friends, Sis Ji's husband is the CEO of Gu's, then President Gu and I are good friends, I actually am good friends with President Gu …

The Black Land Tiger sped up and entered the Sunset Residence about ten minutes later.

Ji Shenyao's entire body was burning. She was in a daze and did not know where she was. However, it was not as though she did not want to live at all.

She felt someone lift her up into the air, carried her where she was, and gently placed her on a soft and clean bed. When her hot body touched the bed that was slightly permeating with a little bit of cool air, she immediately turned her head in a comfortable manner and stuck her face to the place that was slightly cool. She felt that someone was taking off her clothes.

After that, she felt her mind was in a state of chaos. It was as if there was something thin and cold that was gently stuffed into her crevices.

After that, she no longer had any consciousness.

When she finally woke up, Ji Shenyao had no idea that she had walked through the gates of hell before coming out. When she opened her eyes, she still felt a splitting headache.

Why is she at Sunset Residence?

What happened last night was like a surging tide. She could vaguely remember Ann Yueze pressing her down at the door of the washroom, not letting her go, saying something before he wanted to kiss her, then … Gu Nanxi appeared …

Then...

She slowly sat up and lifted her hand to press against her temple. The blanket slid down and she felt the cold sensation on her body. Only then did she suddenly realize that she was not wearing any clothes.

Her face froze as the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. She subconsciously pulled up her blanket to cover everything below her neck. Then she glared at Gu Nanxi who was walking in with a glass in her hand as if she had seen a ghost.

You're awake? Apparently, Gu Nanxi had already calculated the time when she would wake up. With a trace of gentleness in her eyes, she walked in and handed a glass to her. Here, take some medicine.

Ji Shenyao moved her mouth slightly, halting for a moment, but did not say anything …

He made a sound, only feeling that his throat was dry and hoarse. His clear eyes stared at the cup of water in front of him as if nothing had happened, filled with gentleness and patience.

Seeing that she did not move, Gu Nanxi lightly sighed and placed the pill in her other hand next to her mouth. You burned 40 degrees last night. Although the temperature has dropped a little, it's still a fever. Don't be rash. Take this pill.

40 degrees?

Ji Shenyao was stunned, she did not expect her fever to be this severe. If she could not control the fever of 40 degrees, then the higher she became, the more likely she would lose her life. She did not want to die, so she lowered her head to his hand and ate the two white pills, and at the same time, the glass was placed next to her mouth, and although she was unwilling, she lowered her head and drank two mouthfuls of water, swallowing the bitter pill.

Even swallowing medicine would cause her to feel pain. She frowned, and at the same time, she pulled her blanket tighter around her.

Knowing that the pain in her throat made her unable to speak, Gu Nanxi didn't wait for her to say anything. She just watched her drink the medicine and put the glass to the side.

How did he know?

She stared blankly at him and opened her mouth, but no words came out. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a sharp pain in her throat as if a blade was ruthlessly scraping her throat.

At the same time, he saw the helplessness in Gu Nanxi's eyes as she stood beside the bed. He was dressed more leisurely and looked more at home, his light blue shirt shining with an even more approachable warmth under the sunlight shining through the window. He cast a sidelong glance at the puzzlement and alienation in her eyes and said, I saw the new lease contract and key in your bag.

So that was how it was. She lowered her eyes, ignoring his gentleness as she looked around for her clothes.

However, she couldn't find it even after a long time. She tightly clutched the quilt and sat on the bed in frustration. She wanted to leave, yet she didn't want to get off the bed naked in front of him.

The fever has not subsided. Lie down. There was no hint of joy or anger in his tone. It was very faint, no one could tell whether he was coaxing or ordering her, and his gaze was flat.

She hugged the quilt and took a deep breath, then suddenly looked up at his face. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, and, no matter how much pain she felt in her throat, she couldn't say anything. She tried her best to speak in a voice that he could hear clearly, Gu Nanxi! I want clothes! Give me the clothes!

She then looked around anxiously, thinking that her clothes might have been in the small bedroom or in the laundry basket, because she had taken all her clothes away from the Sunset Residence. Other than her previous clothes, she had nothing else to wear, and seeing that Gu Nanxi didn't seem like she was going to let her leave, she held in her anger.

When her feet touched the floor, she discovered that her entire body was as weak as a ball of cotton, and her legs were almost weak as they fell directly onto the ground. She hurriedly leaned back, and her body sat heavily on the bed, and with a face full of regret, she pressed down on the edge of the bed, gritted her teeth, and stood up once more. She took two steps forward, and felt a splitting headache.

The moment Gu Nanxi came over to catch her, Ji Shenyao felt utterly humiliated! He struggled violently, but he easily held them down. He carried her back to the bed and covered her with the blanket before pressing down on her hands and feet. Don't move recklessly.

I want clothes!

I'll get you some clothes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a bottle of medical alcohol on the table beside the bed. Thinking that he must have used alcohol to help her cool down her body last night, her heart slightly moved.

Gu Nanxi's gentleness and meticulous care directly tore her heart, which was not calm enough in the first place. She frowned, thinking that it was better to leave, and just as she was about to get off the bed again, Gu Nanxi took a white housedress and put it on the bedside. I've already sent someone to deliver your dress to the dry cleaner's.

Her face stiffened. Judging from the size of the outfit, she could tell that it was something he was wearing at home. It was obviously a new one, but how could she walk out of the house wearing only this kind of clothes?

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Gu Nanxi didn't say anything else. She turned around and walked out of the bedroom. At the same time, she said, This afternoon, your luggage will be returned. The rent has already been refunded. You don't need to think about returning.

Refund? Her expression changed, I paid the rent for half a year!

Moreover, according to the lease agreement, if Party B were to temporarily terminate the leasing relationship, the money already paid would not be refunded at all. If Party A were to terminate the lease relationship, then it would be double the amount to her. This was a very normal clause in the lease agreement, and was a form of security for both parties.

Half a year's rent, do you think that's a big price to pay? He stood by the bedroom door and turned around to look at her.

Shenyao, you haven't even given me the most basic of trust? "

Her breathing faltered.

It seemed that he really did know the reason for her leaving without saying anything. She tightened her grip on the quilt. If she really hadn't given him trust, she wouldn't have waited outside that hotel like a fool for three and a half hours and become so sick …

But what did he mean by that? What was he trying to explain?

She lifted her eyes to look at him and saw that Gu Nanxi's thin lips were pursed slightly. Her usually dull expression was filled with helplessness, but she said calmly, Nothing happened between Yin Tong and I. It was her father at the hotel. I drank a few cups in Old Man Yin's room that night and chatted for a long time.

The coldness on Ji Shenyao's face instantly disappeared as she looked at him sleepily.

Elder Yin?

Yin Tong had said at that time that her father had also come to Y City, so Gu Nanxi wasn't going to accompany Yin Tong for a meal, but to visit Old Yin at the hotel with her?

Did she misunderstand?

But that night, Yin Tong was wearing sexy and revealing clothes, and she was holding his arm, how could she not want to be crooked?

Could it be … Gu Nanxi had been indifferent to Yin Tong all along? The three calls he made were to find her, to explain himself to her, but instead... Had she gotten into this situation due to her momentary misunderstandings and her deliberate fear of avoiding reality?

Ji Shenyao sat on the bed and felt that her head had instantly turned into a pig's head.

Hedgehog hedgehog. She was really an unreasonable hedgehog. Had her guard already destroyed her rationality?

Ji Shenyao quickly got off the bed and grabbed the white housecoat belonging to Gu Nanxi. The man's housedress was originally loose and longer than the woman's, but a single blouse was enough to cover her buttocks. She grabbed the water glass on the bedside table and drank all the remaining water in the glass in one gulp, then rubbed her forehead and tried to clear her head as much as possible before standing up and dragging her cotton-like legs with her as she walked to the bedroom door.

The distance between the bed and the door of the bedroom was only a few steps, but it had already reached the limit of her temporary physical strength. Leaning against the door, she gasped and raised her eyes to look outside.

After resting for a few seconds, he walked towards the kitchen and walked to the sofa. Only then did he see Gu Nanxi standing next to the cupboard with a frying pan in one hand and the stove in the other.

Ji Shenyao didn't expect that someone like Gu Nanxi, who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, would cook. She leaned weakly against the sofa as she stared at the elegant and calm figure in the kitchen.

Therefore, she insisted on going to the kitchen door, leaned her weak body against the wall, and watched his movements. She actually saw him in a daze.

Finally, Gu Nanxi turned off the stove and looked at her. When she turned around, she saw that Ji Shenyao's clear eyes were filled with guilt and apology.

I'm sorry … Embarrassed, she clutched at the frosted glass door frame of the kitchen. The guilt in her eyes grew even stronger.

The nature of a hedgehog, isn't it? He smiled lightly and walked out while carrying two plates, placing them on the dining table. When he glanced back and saw that she was leaning against the kitchen door and did not move, he walked over and stopped beside her. He lowered his eyes and looked at the guilt in her eyes, then sighed and said, "You woman, you can breathe quickly and quickly.

Ji Shenyao didn't let him down this time. She shook her head resolutely. It's my fault. It's my fault. You don't have to comfort me. I didn't think about everything. I'm sorry.

She's ridiculous...

She wanted to hide far away from him, but the result was so childish and laughable. She, Ji Shenyao, had been blinded by emotions and had not thought about Gu Nanxi's situation. When he went back to deal with what had happened at the banquet, he definitely hadn't slept at all. He busied himself for the rest of the day, then went to see Elder Yin at night, only to find that she …

I have to say, the vinegar you're eating is truly extraordinary. He suddenly bent his head down with a smile that was not a smile and approached her pale face. His lips brushed against her cracked lips, causing her to shiver all over, causing her to look up at him with a sudden shiver. At the same time, she only felt a warm sensation on her waist as he pressed her body into his embrace, and knowing that her lips were so dry that she was afraid of being touched, she did not kiss him deeply.

She clearly did something stupid, got mad, fell into a muddle, got sick, lifted a stone to smash her own foot, how stupid, she herself wanted to find a hole to hide in, in the end he was so tolerant, mysteriously warmed her eyes, and obediently laid her head on his chest. If apologizing, she could say, after all, she was really wrong, but this jealous …

I'm not jealous. She leaned her face against his chest and whispered in a muffled voice.

In the end, Gu Nanxi just lifted her hand and pressed her deeper into her embrace, silently hugging her and not arguing with her. Gu Nanxi just let her embarrass herself and said with a sigh, Ji Shenyao, we can try loving each other.

She stayed still in his arms, her nose filled with his unique scent, unusually pleasant. She did not speak, only raising her arms and lightly wrapping them around his waist. It was a silent agreement.

Love?

What she had not dared to hope for, what he had said in the City, all his tenderness and tolerance for her, she had felt that as long as he liked her, they would accept the marriage, as long as the relationship was no longer awkward, and it had not occurred to her to love him.

But to someone like Gu Nanxi, she was willing to, to try, to love.

A few minutes later, Ji Shenyao, because the previous night's fever was too severe and hadn't yet subsided, had limited physical strength, so she had to let herself be helped to the table by the side like the frail and sickly Lin Daiyu. Looking at the porridge that Gu Nanxi brought over later, she then looked at the two relatively light but seemingly delicious dishes on the table.

She swallowed hard. Although her throat hurt, she was indeed hungry, and facing such a plain and simple delicacy, she had to swallow no matter how much it hurt. After taking another two bites, she saw a faint smile in his eyes and couldn't help but ask, Gu Nanxi, are you still human?

He chuckled. All those years in America, you live by yourself. If you can't even feed yourself, you would have starved to death.

You live alone? Didn't get an aunt to take care of the living?

I have hands and feet, so I don't need anyone to take care of me.

He said it so casually that he did not want to mention anything else about the United States. He looked at her shoulders that were exposed because she was wearing his house clothes. There was a small scar on the shoulder that looked like it was worn years ago. It looked like it was heavily injured.

It was only when he'd used alcohol to wipe her body last night that he'd noticed the scar. He hadn't noticed it before.

Have you ever had a shoulder injury? he asked casually.

Ji Shenyao's hand that was holding the chopsticks suddenly stiffened. She didn't look at him with an unnatural expression, instead raising her other hand to pull up her clothes.

-

CHAPTER 102 - C102

Ji Shenyao's hand that was holding the chopsticks suddenly stiffened. She didn't look at him with an unnatural expression, instead raising her other hand to pull up her clothes.

Noticing the slight abnormality in her movements and eyes, Gu Nanxi didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she quietly watched her head lowered as she focused on eating, a pampering smile appearing in her eyes that she hadn't even noticed before.

After the meal, Gu Nanxi pressed Ji Shenyao into the bedroom again to test her body temperature.

It was 38 degrees, much better than last night's 40 degrees danger of a near fatal fever.

Although her head was still heavy and weak, Ji Shenyao did not like being taken care of like this. She insisted on walking back and forth in the living room. Under the sunlight that shone through the window, her face gradually broke out in sweat.

Her body was sticky with sweat. Thinking of the alcohol that had wiped off her body last night, even if it evaporated quickly, there should still be some residue on her skin. She felt itchy and wanted to take a bath, but was rejected by Gu Nanxi.

Don't take a bath until the fever is gone. No, he said.

Ji Shenyao stood in the living room, her body sticky and uncomfortable. She stared at Gu Nanxi, who was happily sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper, with jealousy in her heart, But her body is itchy. Didn't you say that taking a hot bath would help dispel the cold? At most, I can just turn the temperature of the water to a little bit hotter.

Gu Nanxi sat on the sofa with her legs crossed casually. She shifted her gaze from the newspaper in her hands to Ji Shenyao, who had an uncomfortable expression on her face. Are you sure you won't fall asleep in the bathtub with your current condition?

She was so embarrassed that she raised her hand to scratch her itchy neck and said hoarsely, No, I'll wash quickly. I'll come out right after!

His pretty eyebrows slightly moved, which could be considered as permission.

At that time, the living room was illuminated by the sunlight shining in through the window, reflecting the side of his face. His facial features were like a picture, his facial features were not as deep as the solid cold lines of a painting, but they were extremely beautiful, and that was a man who could be remembered with a single glance. He was real and extraordinarily handsome, looking at her with a gaze that was not the least bit frivolous, and faintly smiling, as if they had loved each other for many years.

Ji Shenyao thought, even if her nature didn't like being controlled like this, this kind of gentle and domineering restriction made her want to obey for no reason. It felt like she was a child that was being spoiled all day; this was a kind of happiness that she had never felt before.

If you wash for too long, you'll feel dizzy. I don't mind carrying you out myself.

When she asked him for another set of clothes and carried it to the bathroom, Gu Nanxi turned over the newspaper in her hands and said calmly.

Suddenly, her feet went stiff and she turned around to look at him. At the same time, Gu Nanxi also turned to look at her, her deep black eyes filled with interest.

The corner of Ji Shenyao's mouth twitched as she rushed into the bathroom without a word.

She carefully stepped into the bathtub and slowly sat down. The moderate water temperature surrounded her, closed her eyes, comfortably lifted her hand and gently rubbed her neck, then used her hand to wipe down, until her hand came into contact with the fifteen centimeters long scar on her shoulder that no one would notice if they didn't look at it closely.

Ji Shenyao raised her head and frowned. Her fingers closed on her shoulders, then she closed her eyes and lowered her head, burying her face in the warm water to wash away the memories she didn't want to touch.

Just as she was about to fall asleep in the warm and comfortable water as Gu Nanxi had said, there was a faint knock on the door. Ji Shenyao opened her eyes and looked back at the tightly shut bathroom door.

Wen Qing had been waiting for you all night yesterday. She thought that you would pick her up and bring her to the An and Ling Family's engagement banquet! Yet, you did not even return to see her. Do you want to force Qing to death and make your grandfather's heart ache to death?

When the door opened, the faint sound that came from it sounded like Master Gu. Ji Shenyao was frightened.

After that, not knowing what Gu Nanxi had said, Master Gu suddenly shouted, Sofia has grown up beside you since she was young, can you bear to watch her refuse to eat or drink all day?! That child has lost a lot of weight in the past month. Every day, he's been waiting for you to come back and visit her! Nanxi, no matter what happens today, you have to go back to the house with your grandfather. I can't just watch that child Qing grieve like this! Come back with me!"

Ji Shenyao could no longer hear the conversation that followed. She felt uneasy. After less than a minute, when she could no longer hear Gu Nanxi's voice, she suddenly heard the sound of the door closing.

She was shocked, could it be that Gu Nanxi really left with Master Gu? Leaving just like that?

Surprised, he couldn't help but be flustered and wanted to get out of the bathtub. Just as he sat up and was about to stand up, he didn't know …

She didn't even have time to cry out before she was flipped out of the bathtub. Her butt landed heavily on the wet and cold floor, causing her to cry out in pain as she stretched out her hand to rub her butt, which had been smashed into four pieces.

The bathroom door suddenly opened, and before she could recover from the pain, she caught sight of Gu Nanxi's figure in the corner of her eye. She was surprised and looked at him in surprise. You …

Gu Nanxi first heard a muffled sound from the bathroom, then she heard a faint groan of pain, thinking that something had happened to her. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gu Nanxi sitting naked outside the bathtub, holding onto the edge with one hand to support her body, while the other hand constantly massaged … The reddish part...

Seeing that there was a hint of awkwardness in his eyes, along with a mocking smile, Ji Shenyao couldn't help but lift her hand and throw a towel towards him. She didn't even care about blushing or embarrassed herself as she angrily scolded, You're still laughing! If I fall and become a cripple, let's see if you can still laugh!

Gu Nanxi suppressed her laughter and walked straight in. She bent over and picked her up with her hands under her armpits.

Ji Shenyao's butt was in pain, and she borrowed the force of his support to lean against his chest. The pain made her grimace as she held back a pool of tears. Is my relationship with your Gu family really that bad? "

After saying that, she reached her hand down to rub her red butt, then lifted her eyes to glare at Gu Nanxi. She saw that the smile on his face had almost disappeared, and her face darkened as she said, Didn't you go back with the old man to see Wen Qing?

You fell because you heard all this? Gu Nanxi could do nothing but laugh out loud. Her black eyes were so deep that they couldn't see the bottom of her body, and looking at her painful and resentful expression, she simply pulled the towel over her and pulled her up by her waist. She ignored her subconscious cries and directly carried her out of the bathroom.

The sunlight in the living room was very warm. When Ji Shenyao was exposed to the warm sunlight, she squinted her eyes and looked towards the door. The door was shut tight, and Master Gu seemed to have left.

Stop thinking too much. Whether it is Wen Qing or Yin Tong, neither of them will be an existence that you need to worry about. I will take care of Wen Qing's matters. Seeming to have seen through her thoughts, his voice resounded above her head.

The instant Ji Shenyao raised her head after hearing what he said, her lips, which were no longer dry and cracked from the steam just now, were suddenly stopped by a kiss. Her mind, which was not very clear due to a fever, suddenly became a mess; it wasn't that she hadn't been kissed by Gu Nanxi before.

She quietly closed her eyes and responded to his kiss. She felt his breathing gradually grow hurried, as if a kiss that was originally just to comfort him could no longer satisfy him, and because of her careful response, she was unable to control the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

His lips were cool and moist, not allowing her to react from the start. She seemed to realize something and retreated, patiently coaxing the tip of her tongue to entangle with him. It was also because she was having a fever.

It was as if he had been waiting for a very long time, and he had endured it for a very long time as well. He grabbed her waist and pressed her down firmly onto the soft sofa, then suddenly pulled away from her dark red lips and lifted his hand to caress her face, touching her burning hot temperature. There was a hint of worry and uncertainty in his eyes, Your body is this … Can I?"

Ji Shenyao didn't know whether to shake her head or nod her head. She didn't know whether her body was burning from the heat or the touch of his hand, but he wasn't feeling any better either. His chest seemed to be even hotter than hers.

The inexplicable smell of him made her feel at ease. It actually made her want to rely on him. If Wen Qing was still unwilling to let him go, then she would no longer be passive. This man wasn't willing to give his hand to someone else.

Because of her initiative, Gu Nanxi's mind could no longer stop at the edge of her desire. A gentle and coaxing kiss followed her lips down little by little, sliding down her slender white neck …

This kind of sweet torture was unbearable for her. As she unconsciously moved her nose, the tip of her nose brushed against his neck. She could smell Gu Nanxi's scent, clean and fresh, mature yet with a hint of an extremely good smell of tobacco.

...

CHAPTER 103 - C103

When Gu Nanxi withdrew from her body, Ji Shenyao was covered in sweat. In order to prevent her fever from getting worse, he kissed her on the face and cleaned up the 'battlefield'. He carried her, who had no strength left, into the bathroom and directly placed the shy woman, who had buried her face in his neck, into the hot tub.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to struggle out of the bathtub, but he firmly held her down. With one hand, he brushed away the wet hair on her face and whispered, Taking a hot bath can relieve my body's discomfort.

She glared at him. Who would have thought that everything would happen without warning?

However, the pain from the fall in the bathroom had started to subside. She suddenly raised her arms and crossed them in front of her chest. She saw him smiling at her and couldn't help but shout in embarrassment, What are you looking at!

He reached into the water to test the temperature, and then put some hot water in. When he was satisfied with the temperature, he turned off the hot water and looked at her, Do you want me to help you wash? Or do you wash it yourself?

I'll wash myself! Get out! Her originally hoarse and pained voice was now even more pitiful as she stared warily at him.

Gu Nanxi knew that she wasn't feeling well and couldn't control herself for the moment, so she walked out to get the towel from the sofa and stacked it beside the washstand that she could reach. Don't throw it again. With that, he turned and walked out.

Ji Shenyao took a deep breath and looked at the door of the bathroom, which was closed by him. She looked at the clean clothes that she had hung on the side, then looked down at herself.

She rubbed her head, which was still a little dizzy. Since she had fallen down, she stood up carefully, put on a towel, and drank all the water on her body. After drying her hair with a towel, she changed into Gu Nanxi's clothes, then opened the bathroom door and walked out.

His legs were still weak. As soon as he walked out, he threw himself onto the sofa, unwilling to move even a little bit.

Gu Nanxi also took a bath, and when she walked to her side, the faint fragrance of the shower gel wafted from her body.

His hand was very warm, but it still felt a little cold when it touched her forehead. She laid her head on the sofa and groaned uncomfortably: I don't think my fever will get better, you can even eat me up at a time like this. As expected, you, the CEO of a large company, are really inhumane. It's all people like you …

Gu Nanxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was obviously enjoying the show, but now she was blaming herself for being such a rascal. Her good-looking brows slightly raised. Do you want me to be inhumane again?

If not for her fever, would he be willing to let her go so quickly?

The corner of Ji Shenyao's mouth twitched. She curled up into a ball and leaned against the sofa, her eyes full of color. She pressed her face to the back of the sofa again and muttered mournfully, My head is dizzy …

Gu Nanxi sighed. She went to the refrigerator and took out some ice cubes, wrapped them in a towel, and covered her forehead with it.

Just as she was about to sit up, she was stopped by him, causing her to have no choice but to continue leaning back on the sofa and raise her head. The icy feeling on her forehead made her feel a little better, and when she saw that there was an obvious deserved expression in his eyes, she immediately raised her hand to cover her forehead, not letting it fall down. She directly closed her eyes, enjoying the icy and comfortable feeling on her forehead, not wanting to look at his face that would bring disaster upon itself.

With zero degrees, you've stood still for three and a half hours. It's just that you're lucky to have a fever.

At his words, she opened her eyes. How did you know I was standing there for three and a half hours?

He did not answer, but only raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at her enigmatically. He bent down and sat beside her, and just as she was about to subconsciously move to the side, he wrapped his arm around her.

He had just taken a bath, and his short hair, which had not dried yet, was dark and shiny, a little more disheveled than usual, but somehow so close that it had a sweet, strange, and sour feeling to it. The feeling of the two of them being pressed together at such a close distance once again came to her, and she blushed, unable to move away from him, looked directly at his straight nose and those dark, deep eyes, and a strange sense of reassurance came over her.

He gently held her in his arms and stayed silent for a while. Suddenly, he bent his head and lightly kissed the tip of her nose. Then, a gentle and delicate kiss landed on her lips. It was a gentle and gentle kiss.

When Ji Shenyao raised her head, she noticed that there was a bite mark on his lips. Her face couldn't help but blush again, because the two of them seemed to have suddenly gotten closer to each other, and because of the calmness between his brows, she felt at ease.

It was as if he belonged solely to her. He was not the aloof and exalted President Gu that was revered by others, nor was he the cold and detached figure who turned around and left before her eyes seven years ago.

Gu Nanxi was so good that she wanted to touch him and hug him back to see if he was real.

She could see that he had been trying to reassure her with every word and action since she had woken up drunk and with a fever of forty degrees last night. He seemed to sense the reason for her departure without a word, the fear that lurked in her heart, and he seemed to soothe all the lingering wounds she had sustained over the years.

Suddenly, the sound of a text message came from the bedroom. She was stunned and was about to get up to take a look, but who knew that Gu Nanxi would not let her go?

I'm going to take a look at my text messages … She was struggling slightly.

Maybe 10086. He said lightly.

Her mouth twitched: Even if it's 10086, it might be about to shut down! Let me take a look!

Finally, he let go of her and watched her run into the bedroom with one hand covering the towel on her forehead and the other trying to pull down the hem of her dress that had just covered her buttocks.

He checked his phone and saw that it was a text from Qin Muyan.

'I'll go home on Monday afternoon and have dinner together in the evening, 'he said. In the end, he even added a line to sign it: — Your beloved Muyan.

Ji Shenyao blushed with shame. Just as she was about to reply, she suddenly felt a shadow appear behind her. She turned around and saw Gu Nanxi standing by the bedroom door behind her with a meaningful look on her face.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled gently, so gently that she couldn't help but shiver.

She put down the towel with the ice on her forehead and raised her hand to touch her forehead. She felt that she shouldn't reply to this message. It would be better to pretend that she didn't see it.

Just as she was thinking, her phone's ringtone suddenly hooted in her hand. Her eyelids jumped slightly as she lowered her head to look at the name displayed, causing her scalp to suddenly tingle.

Why not? Gu Nanxi asked in a soft voice, pretending to be unconcerned as she leaned against the door.

Ji Shenyao was embarrassed, so she could only answer the call right in front of Gu Nanxi. Before she could say anything, Qin Muyan's clear and bright voice came from the other side, Did you get the message? Don't you want to play the part of not seeing a text message with this grandpa. Do you need me to repeat the contents of the text message for you?"

Ji Shenyao rolled her eyes at the ceiling and silently cursed Qin Muyan, who was getting more and more difficult to deal with. No need! I saw it! "

That's good. Don't forget Monday, the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up from your company.

I added …

Don't worry, you won't work overtime that day … Qin Muyan laughed and interrupted her. Just as Ji Shenyao was about to go berserk, she laughed complacently. Don't forget who is your boss …

Ji Shenyao's face darkened, You think I'm that bored? Even if I had the time, I wouldn't need to accompany you to dinner. Why would you have to look for me?

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the eyebrows of someone who was still leaning against the door raise slightly. However, her eyelids twitched.

On the other side, Qin Muyan did not say anything. After a few seconds, she thought that her words were too hurtful, and just as she was about to apologize, a puzzled voice suddenly came from the other side, Ji Shenyao? Ji Shenyao? Is the signal bad over there? Why is there no sound for a long time?

She was stunned and was about to say something when she heard Qin Muyan continuously say Hey for a long time. She completely ignored Qin Muyan's reply and finally said directly, There's really something wrong with your phone's signal. It's like this for now, I'm hanging up.

Crack. He hung up.

She took a deep breath and lowered her head to look at the darkened screen. She was filled with hatred. Since when did he learn shamelessness to be so flawless!

Seeing her expression as if she had just eaten a yellow lotus, Gu Nanxi smiled faintly but didn't say anything.

Once again, she covered her head with the frozen towel. Her head hurt even more.

That night, Ji Shenyao's fever subsided and her condition improved. Because the next day was Sunday, she was supervised by Gu Nanxi to rest at home.

On this day, she either slept or went to the balcony to bask in the sun occasionally. Finally, this serious illness, which was like extracting silk, was much better.

Monday.

After a week, when he returned to work, he found that the number of people in the office had changed a lot. Other than Su Xiaonuan, who had previously appointed her as his assistant, many others had been transferred.

Editor Ji.

When Ji Shenyao walked into the office, a few new people in the office warmly greeted her. After all, she was the editor of Business Reporting Department, and was a target of their flattery. Furthermore, her identity was already a public secret in the company, so Ji Shenyao was already used to smiling.

Sis Ji ~ On this side, Su Xiaonuan suddenly slipped to her side, bent down and whispered into her ear, I heard that the straight haired girl sitting in the back seat is our Director Zhang's new girlfriend. We need to talk leisurely!

Ji Shenyao turned around to look at the person Su Xiaonuan was talking about. Seeing that it was an ordinary looking young girl with an outrageously good figure, she indifferently replied to Su Xiaonuan, "I understand, go back and do your job. I haven't been here for a week, send me the important parts of last week.

Oh, okay. Su Xiaonuan quickly turned around and retreated.

In the afternoon, they grabbed Su Xiaonuan and ran for a few newscasts. At around 3 PM, the two of them were taking pictures of the flower beds under the flagpole in a square on the east side of the city.

Su Xiaonuan worked very hard and was very ambitious. She wanted to learn everything by herself, so Ji Shenyao gave her the filming job. She went nearby to sell her two bottles of water, but just as she was about to go and take the water back to Xiaonuan, a small figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

Ji Shenyao didn't particularly like children. If she did, she liked the kind of cute and obedient children who didn't cry or make a ruckus, and the children who often cried and cried would usually stay far away from her. Seeing the little girl giggling as if she was having fun, she stopped her steps and looked in that direction with a smile.

Haha ~ Mommy, where did you go … Mommy … The little girl ran around the flower bed, but she could not find where her mother hid. Mommy, come out … Heh heh … Mommy, come out quickly …

Hahaha … Mommy... Mommy... Come out …

Ji Shenyao turned around and saw a figure behind the bus stop not far away that seemed to be hiding there. She couldn't help but smile and glanced at the little girl again. Suddenly, her expression froze.

She only saw the little girl's side face a moment ago, but now that she saw it, she realized that she seemed to have seen this little girl's face somewhere before. She looked familiar, but she was unable to recall where she had seen it.

Su Xiaonuan proudly handed the camera in her hand over to Sis Ji. Sis Ji, see how I'm doing? Once we go back, we should be able to directly report it, right?

Ji Shenyao lowered her head and took the camera, flipping through the pages one by one. Not bad, not bad. You've become more and more professional. If you can write a press release that allows me to pass it on my first try, then you'll have to leave the university. You can learn in your internship now …

That's right!

When she saw the bottle of mineral water in her hand, she took two gulps from it. Ji Shenyao then took the opportunity to look back at the flower bed, but when she looked back, she couldn't see the little girl anymore, so she couldn't see the two figures behind the bus stop clearly. She couldn't see their faces clearly, so she didn't take the little girl's face too seriously.

When Ji Shenyao walked out of the company after work, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw the red Ferrari parked outside the door.

Damn Qin Muyan, she was so persistent!

Otherwise, there was no way to cross the road and ride the car. It wasn't a good idea to go around and pretend not to see the car, so she walked over and knocked on the window. The window didn't fall, but the door opened from the inside.

Get in the car ~ ~ Qin Muyan glanced at her and put one hand on the steering wheel, looking in a good mood.

When Ji Shenyao saw him stop here, she felt that it would be inconvenient for her other colleagues to go over as well. It was obvious that they didn't want to give her a chance to run away on purpose, so she could only get into the car.

As soon as the door was closed, the red Ferrari sped away from the company's entrance, heading for the wide road and speeding steadily through the traffic.

Before the two of them could speak, he already picked up the call. He said expressionlessly, "Don't thank me, if it weren't for the child, I wouldn't have helped you this time. You better take care of yourself, I don't want to care too much about your matters.

The medicine was edible. If you want to see him, think of a way to deal with this yourself.

Saying that, he hung up. Obviously, he was very perfunctory towards the person on the other side of the phone, yet … I don't like it.

It was rare to see Qin Muyan so cold and impatient with someone.

Why did you come back after only a week in the United States? She knew that if she did not accompany him to dinner tonight, this brat would not let her off, so she asked softly.

However, she really did not want to affect Qin Muyan's and Gu Nanxi's brotherly relationship just because of her. Although she did not think too highly of herself, she still had the thought that it would be better to take care of more than one matter, and she wanted to calm things down as much as possible. Qin Muyan's home ground, after all, was in the United States Boston, and it was only temporary in City G, so she decided to keep it a secret.

I haven't gotten my hands on my wife yet, how can I not come back? Qin Muyan didn't even spare her a glance as she looked at the traffic ahead, her fingers casually flicking on the steering wheel.

Is there anything important in America? She changed the subject.

It's nothing. A big client with a bad temper. No one can take care of him except me. This time, when I went back, I only took care of a 1 billion dollar contract.

A billion? Dollar? Looking at how easy it is for you, isn't this just a drop in the bucket for the current flow of your Qin's? Tsk, tsk. You really made us, a month's worth of hard work and only a few thousand yuan worth of profit, unable to bear watching it any longer!

Like you said, I don't actually have a lot of money, and liquidity is not a fixed asset. If you don't mind, why don't you marry me. Don't mention a few thousand a month, even if you spend several thousand a day, I can still support you!

As he said that, he took advantage of the traffic light in front of him to stop the car. He turned his head and smiled at her, his peach eyed eyes raised, and then leaned over and placed his arm on her shoulder. Should he consider it? Married to be a Mrs. Qin? "

Ji Shenyao blushed with shame as she lifted her hand to push his head away. He didn't mind and continued to drive while smiling at the green light.

I really don't understand. Why do you seem to be so deep in love with me out of the blue? Why haven't I seen you like me before? Had he gotten tired of those blonde beauties abroad over the years? As soon as he returned home, he immediately grabbed hold of a person like me, who was as good as dead! It truly does not follow common sense! "

When have I ever played cards according to common sense? With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding the cigarette, she stared straight ahead and said, You were just a silly girl that time. Whether I liked you or not, you never noticed. You always ran away when you saw me. So what if I liked you?

Ji Shenyao thought back to the time at Ji Family, when Qin Muyan had indeed always pestered her, but she had basically always avoided him, and really hadn't noticed any changes in his attitude towards her.

Except...

That time, Xiuli said that when Qin Muyan went crazy to find her and save her from those people, she had always been hugging her, not letting anyone touch her, and kept calling her name. However, she didn't know clearly at that time and didn't know how Qin Muyan and Xiuli saved her at that time.

I've felt it for the past two years. Too many people do not know how to treasure everything before their eyes. In the end, they miss it and want to turn back. Perhaps it is already too late. With that, Qin Muyan turned to look at her. This was the first time Ji Shenyao had seen such concentration in his eyes. At least, I don't want to miss it.

She unconsciously stared at him, but Qin Muyan only smiled, turned her gaze away, and continued to drive as she said indifferently: Nanxi should be having a meal at the Di Family's Flower Garden Hotel right now, why don't we go there and eat. I can't possibly forget about my good brother just to see you. Fine, let's go to the Emperor's Garden and find him to treat us!

He made up his mind and went straight for the wind. Ji Shenyao's heart skipped a beat and she said, The things in that hotel are not tasty. Let's go to another one.

Lili glanced at her, Weren't you always so picky? What's wrong? Did Nanxi offend you? If there's grievances, just say it. With this grandpa here, even if he's Gu Nanxi, he still has to give me a point. I'll seek justice for you!

Seeing that he was able to put the matter all of a sudden onto Gu Nanxi, Ji Shenyao knew that Qin Muyan was very shrewd. Right now, he just didn't notice the news and no one beside him had probably mentioned it to him.

She paused and smiled, No, no matter how close Gu Nanxi is with you, how can I, a mere commoner, have anything to do with him? Let alone offending me, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to find a way to offend him.

Qin Muyan turned her head to look at her again, but seeing her expression, it seemed like that was really the case. She didn't ask any further questions.

When they arrived at the Emperor Flower Garden Hotel, Ji Shenyao felt a bit uneasy. She was really afraid that they might end up together …

Gu Nanxi bumped into him. What if something happened?

Although Gu Nanxi respected her thoughts and didn't mention her relationship with him to Qin Muyan, she also didn't seem to agree with her practice of hiding it. If Qin Muyan didn't leave City G in a short period of time, perhaps …

As she was thinking, Qin Muyan had already gotten out of the car. She had no choice but to get out as well.

Why does your face look so bad? Entering the hotel lobby, under the bright light, Qin Muyan finally saw the haggard look on Ji Shenyao's face.

A few days ago I had a fever and I recovered a little yesterday. Maybe my complexion hasn't recovered yet. She smiled.

Qin Muyan raised her hand and pressed it against her forehead. With a frown, she asked, Are you still burning?

I won't burn it. She carefully avoided his hand.

He nodded and walked directly to the elevator. Ji Shenyao followed him, feeling anxious and anxious, when suddenly, Qin Muyan's hand reached out to grab her hand, causing her to freeze. She was pulled over by him, next to him, and just as she was about to move away, he lowered his head with a face full of suspicion, looking at her, directly lifting her hand, opening his palm, looking at the platinum ring on the ring on her ring finger.

Where did this ring come from? Seeing that she was wearing the ring on her ring finger, which was where the woman's wedding ring was, he frowned in annoyance. Looking at the ring, he felt that it was extremely eye-catching.

If he hadn't suddenly touched the ring on her finger, he really wouldn't have noticed it just now.

Ji Shenyao's face stiffened. She quickly retracted her hand, but he firmly held onto her hand, not allowing her to dodge. He stood at the elevator door and looked at her with a slightly cold gaze. Why do I think you're weird? Is there something you're hiding from me? You have a boyfriend? Or are you married? "

Suddenly, the elevator door in front of them slowly opened and Gu Nanxi's handsome face appeared in front of them. Ji Shenyao looked at Gu Nanxi standing in the elevator in surprise.

When Qin Muyan saw Gu Nanxi, she didn't have the time to greet him. She just grabbed onto Ji Shenyao's hand and asked with a face full of jealousy, Where did you get this ring from? Who put it on you? Do you know what it means to have a ring finger on your right hand?

Ji Shenyao took a deep breath. When she felt Gu Nanxi's gaze, she saw a faint glimmer in his eyes, as if he was waiting for her to answer. His thin lips faintly curled up.

She was helpless and wished that she could faint all of a sudden like those female supporting actors in the TV series, but she just didn't seem to want to die. She could only force herself to withdraw her hand, raise her hand to cover the platinum wedding ring on her ring finger, and stammered, Yes … The birthday present Xiuli gave me. Xiuli bought it for me … "

In a split-second, Qin Muyan frowned. Ji Shenyao didn't dare to look at Gu Nanxi's eyes and purposely avoided his gaze. She felt as if the air around her had frozen by three feet.

Ji Xiuli? Qin Muyan looked at Ye Ci, who was covering the ring like a precious treasure. Why did he give you that ring?

I've never bought any jewelry. I saw one in a jewelry store and liked it a lot, so Xiuli …

Before she could finish, Secretary Gao, who came out with Gu Nanxi, suddenly whispered, President Gu, Chief Sun's car is still outside. Didn't you say you want to send him off?

Qin Muyan turned around and smiled at Gu Nanxi, Your meal isn't over yet? I'll take Shenyao to the chartered room to wait for you.

As he spoke, he grabbed Ji Shenyao's hand and was about to lead her into the elevator.

Gu Nanxi's expression didn't change as she indifferently looked at Ji Shenyao who passed by him with her head lowered. Only when the two of them entered the elevator did she expressionlessly turn around and leave.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Ji Shenyao's heart began to beat faster and faster. She had the feeling that if this situation didn't go away, sooner or later she would have a heart attack.

Ji Xiuli, this brat is only your brother. Otherwise, this damn brat would know that it's fine. Can you just randomly give me a present? Qin Muyan still hadn't forgotten about her ring. She reached out her hand to take it off.

What are you doing! She struggled to pull her hand away.

Seeing her so anxious, Qin Muyan frowned, not forcing her to do so. She didn't take her hand off, but watched as she retracted her hand from the ring as if it was a precious treasure. Her face suddenly turned bad, "If you like it, just change your finger.

What's wrong! She hid her hand behind her back so that he wouldn't be too excited to pick it. Everyone's fingers aren't exactly the same size, and I just happen to wear this ring on my finger. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I had any other fingers.

Qin Muyan didn't argue with her again. After all, Ji Xiuli had grown up with her, so it was unlikely that he would be jealous of her brother. Thus, she didn't say anything more …

What? After the elevator door opened, he walked out. This time, he didn't hold her hand. It was obvious that he didn't mind, but he was still a bit unhappy.

How hard it is to serve! Ji Shenyao curled her lips and followed him out helplessly.

CHAPTER 104 - C104

Not long after they sat down in a tea room, a waiter brought them a menu along with some fruits and sweets. Qin Muyan pushed the menu in front of her and said, "According to what Nanxi said, although the Emperor Garden is a hotel, their tea is still pretty good. Nanxi likes to drink tea, and I haven't had a good taste of our country's good tea for many years,
