The saying goes, bad luck descends on those who have everything they want. Upon hearing this, Yan Xi was deeply moved. It was her first time attending a prestigious medical summit alone, but when she woke up from a brief nap, she found her hand uncontrollably stabbing her own chest with a knife. The sudden pain caused her vision to darken and her thoughts to become muddled.

In her disorientation, she heard a man gritting his teeth, "Yan Xi! Do you like Zhang Ming that much?". Yan Xi found the sound of his voice to be quite pleasant.

...

Yan Xi with a knife in hand. It was no wonder she was getting a divorce. Gu Shen interrupted her thoughts, "The assets in the marriage have been divided. This money is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Wait!" Yan Xi sat up quickly, despite the wound causing her to gasp. Her eyes sparkled, "Hubby, I'm not getting a divorce!"

Gu Shen frowned, guessing why she wouldn't sign the papers, "Not enough money?"

"It's not about the money. I don't want to divorce you. You don't have to withdraw the charges against Zhang Ming. If he did something wrong, he should be punished by the law," Yan Xi stated sedately.

Gu Shen's brows twitched and his eyes became cold as they landed on Yan Xi, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"I do," Yan Xi's tone was serious, "I'm not getting a divorce."

The person who had used a knife to force him to divorce and withdraw charges had suddenly changed. Did she truly not want a divorce, or was this a new trick?

Gu Shen sneered, "Then why did you stab yourself?"

"Is that the knife I just bought?" Yan Xi asked, her face not blushing and her heart not racing. She smiled, "Do you find it quick?"

"Don't mess around," Gu Shen didn't take the papers back. "Think carefully. I'll retrieve the papers before tomorrow morning. It's up to you whether or not you sign them."

With that, he wheeled himself out of the room.

Yan Xi knew only a fool would sign the papers. She had read in the book that if she ran away with the money, she would be killed and her body burned. The money would also be squandered by Zhang Ming with her best friend. She decided to remain with Gu Shen and enjoy life with her rich, handsome husband for free, while getting some revenge on the jerk who had hurt her.

...

The anti-inflammatory medicine wasn't working; Yan Xi's wound was getting worse in the middle of the night. Her entire body boiled hot, like partly melted wax, making her extremely uncomfortable. Her throat was parched and hoarse, but since she couldn't make any sounds, Yan Xi didn't ask for help. She forced herself to sit up and found the anti-inflammatory medicine from the bedside drawer. She chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed them. The bitter taste of medicine spread in her mouth, but Yan Xi was used to it. She had been admitted to a medical school at the age of fourteen and mentored by one of the top doctors in the country named Zheng Ming. Yan Xi received her doctorate at twenty-three years old and had been working as an attending physician in the hospital until she got thrown into a book that only kept her in it was her handsome husband.

The terrible things that the Host did to Gu Shen were too many to count; Yan Xi wasn't sure if she could save this broken marriage.

As she got lost in thought, the pain gradually subsided and Yan Xi fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping for a few hours, Yan Xi was awoken by someone. A sharp voice rang in her ears. The person felt that it wasn't enough and slapped Yan Xi's wound.

"Why are you still sleeping? Zhang Ming is about to go to court!" Su Wanwan ranted by her ear. "If the other party doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, he'll be sentenced to at least 15 years in jail. Didn't you say you'd help him? What have you done?!"

Enduring the intense pain in her chest, Yan Xi impatiently opened her eyes and looked at Su Wan with eyes that could freeze. She retorted unreservedly, "Can't you see the wounds on my body? If you like Zhang Ming so much, why don't you find someone else to help him instead of me."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Su Wan felt guilty but continued as if she were in the right. "Even if you're injured, you can't ignore Zhang Ming! He loves you so much that he hurt others. He was afraid you'd be treated unfairly. How could you let him get sent to jail?"

"Afraid I'd be treated unfairly?" Yan Xi sneered. "He's afraid he won't be able to get the money."

Su Wan widened her eyes, "How can you say that about him?! Go beg Gu Shen, give in to him, and ask him to drop the lawsuit."

Yan Xi sneered, "Instead of asking me to beg Gu Shen, tell Zhang Ming that he should be grateful that I didn't sue him for hitting my husband."

Su Wan was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Yan Xi, what's wrong with you? Don't you like Zhang Ming? Why are you calling Gu Shen your husband now? Did he force you to say that?"

"My husband treats me very well," Yan Xi raised her chin and said proudly, "Don't talk nonsense from now on. I only love my husband now. Who is Zhang Ming?"

Yan Xi called Gu Shen "husband" in a sweet and clear voice. Gu Shen sat in the wheelchair and looked at her, his gaze darkening.

What was Yan Xi thinking? He frowned, but a sliver of hope popped up in his heart.

Husband, Just Hug Me

When Su Wan heard Yan Xi’s words, she immediately frowned and reprimanded her in a high and mighty tone.

“Zhang Ming sacrificed so much for you. He loves you to the point that he’ll sacrifice himself just to protect you. Yet, you abandoned him so cruelly!”

Yan Xi glanced at Su Wan coldly, thinking to herself, what nice words!

However, after that, even though Su Wan knew that Zhang Ming murdered the Host, she still got together with him and took the Host’s money.

Why didn’t she feel that he was abandoning her?

“Zhang Ming brought this upon himself. I won’t care about him.” Yan Xi coldly asked her to leave, “I’m going to rest. Get out.”

“How did you become so cold-blooded?” Su Wan complained as she sat next to Yan Xi’s bed. She chose to ignore the bandage on the bed and held Yan Xi’s shoulder tightly, her long and sharp nails circling around the wound

Up to Su Wan and said politely and firmly, “Miss Su, please leave.”

Su Wan didn’t want to move, so Gu Yi helped her. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out forcefully.

The noise disappeared and the room became quiet.

Yan Xi looked at her shoulder and realized that the blood had seeped out of the bandage, leaving a faint red mark.

“Hubby, my wound hurts.”

After Yan Xi finished speaking, she eagerly waited for Gu Shen to comfort her like a kitten waiting for its owner to touch its head.

Gu Shen frowned, feeling troubled by something he was not aware of. “Gu Yi has already called the doctor.”

“But the doctor isn’t here yet.” Yan Xi’s eyes were misty. “I’m really in a lot of pain and my blood is still coming out.”

Gu Shen looked at her steadily. After a moment, he compromised, “What do you want?”

Yan Xi blurted out, “Hubby, just hug me.”

Kiss Would Also Do

The Yan Xi in front of him made Gu Shen feel unfamiliar.

In front of him, Yan Xi used to only show disgust and argue with him endlessly. But now, she was dependent on him and looked at him expectantly.

She even hoped that he would come closer.

As Gu Shen approached Yan Xi, he became solemn and more intimidating, as if he really wanted to give her a hug.

Feeling inexplicably nervous, Yan Xi was considering whether she should close her eyes.

When he was one inch away from her, Gu Shen stopped and said with a mocking tone, “Yan Xi, put away your thoughts. I don’t have time to play these silly games with you.

“Yan Xi, put away your thoughts about playing silly tricks with me, I don’t have time to waste on them.”

Woman opposite him had her head lowered and there was no emotion on her face.

But Gu Shen knew that she loathed his legs, loathed his inability to stand up, and loathed everything about him.

Slowly, as the redness dissipated, a solemn expression crept upon his face.

Yan Xi sighed and asked with concern, “Does your leg still hurt?”

…

The family doctor rushed over with the first-aid kit. She quickly removed the bandages and helped Yan Xi apply the medicine again.

Yan Xi suddenly said, “Give me an anti-inflammatory injection later.”

The doctor asked, “Is your wound infected?”

“There was an inflammation last night, but it eased after I took the anti-inflammatory medicine. It’s probably because the wound wasn’t completely cleaned when it was debrided.” Yan Xi spoke very naturally, as if she knew these things very well.

“It’s my negligence. I’ll give you an injection later.”

The family doctor was puzzled, wondering when did she get to know all these.

I’m Here To Apologize To You

Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Yan Xi took her time to sort out the storyline in her mind.

In the end, she found out that what the Host did was simply outrageous.

The Host had done all the things that could insult and ridicule Gu Shen. When Gu Shen needed to rest, she brought a large group of people to the villa for a ball.

When Gu Shen had a meeting the next day, she tore up all the important documents he needed and even made fun of Gu Shen’s legs in front of all his friends, scolding him for embarrassing her.

It was a miracle that Gu Shen didn’t kill the Host. Yan Xi sighed with emotion. No wonder he could become a CEO. He had more endurance than anyone else.

…

Gu Shen sat in the study room for a long time, but the document in front of him remained untouched.

He suddenly asked, “Will a person become completely different overnight?”

Gu Yi lowered his head and replied respectfully, “It’s hard to say.”

There was a knock on the door. As Gu Shen brought his attention back, he heard a voice coming from outside.

“Gu Shen, can I come in?”

Yan Xi had been to the study room many times before, and every time, she would deliberately destroy a large number of documents. She had never knocked on the door before, but now she was suddenly well-behaved.

“Come in.”

With the door slightly opened, Yan Xi leaned against the door frame and looked carefully, like a kitten who was going to explore the outside world alone.

When she saw Gu Shen, she pushed the door open with ease and walked to him.

“What brought you here?”

“I’m here to apologize to you.” Yan Xi’s attitude was sincere. “I reflected on myself deeply. Previously, because of my stupidity, I did a lot of wrong things. I’m very sorry. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you can give me a chance to compensate.”

“Compensate?” Gu Shen let out a snort, but his eyes were dark. “Do you need me to remind you that last month, you stood here and said the same thing to me? What did you do after that?”

This was the third time Yan Xi had said this.

She said it three times, and she failed to do it three times.

Deceit was what Gu Shen hated the most.

“Yan Xi.” His voice was cold and bone-chilling. “Don’t you play tricks with me. What I need is for you to be obedient and sensible, not those meaningless compensations. Don’t challenge me again.”

“This is the last time.” Yan Xi’s tone was firm. “I promise you that I will do everything I say.”

“I’ll prove it to you.”

…

In order to better recover from the wound, Yan Xi had been recuperating at home. Gu Shen provided her with everything she needed, so she lived her life quite comfortably.

It was just that there were always annoying people who came to ruin your comfortable life.

Yan Xi had just forked a piece of pineapple from the plate when the phone that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw that It was from Luo Yun.

Wasn’t she her stepmother?

Yan Xi picked up the call with a pineapple in her mouth.

“Yan Xi.” The voice on the other end of the line sounded bossy. “It’s your father’s birthday in a few days. Remember to bring Gu Shen home to celebrate it.”

“A big birthday party at 45 years old?” Yan Xi’s tone was lazy. “Is it so necessary?”

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment. When she spoke again, she sounded furious.

“What are you talking about? He’s your father, of course it’s necessary. You’d better bring Gu Shen back in a few days.”

“He doesn’t really have time.” Yan Xi rejected her directly. “Gu Shen is busy every day and has no time to attend the birthday celebration.”

“What could he be busy with?”

Yan Xi replied, “Anyway, he isn’t someone you can call over just because you want to.”

Luo Yun was so angry that her face almost turned crooked. She let out a sarcastic laugh and said, “Why? Does Miss Yan think that because she’s married to the First Master of the Gu family, she gets to have a say now?”
