Gu Shen looked up. “What do you want me to help?”
“I need a lawyer who can help me cut ties with the Yan family as
soon as possible.”
In the book, Yan Dong was an out-and-out bloodsucker. After the
Host passed away, he didn’t let go of Gu Shen. Instead, he used the
Host’s name to ask Gu Shen for help. He got a lot of business from
Gu Shen.
However, he did not feel grateful at all. Instead, he caused trouble
and caused Gu Shen and his company a considerable loss.If she kept this kind of person around, it would only create trouble
for her and Gu Shen. She might as well get rid of him so that he
wouldn’t even have the chance to use her.
Gu Shen did not reject and only asked, “Have you decided?”
“That’s right.” Yan Xi said in disdain. “I don’t have any ties with the
Yan family to begin with. I don’t want them to take advantage of us!”
Gu Shen had a lot of money, but he would never use it on these
people.
“Up to you.” Gu Shen retracted his gaze and took out a name card.
“The lawyer will contact you this afternoon.”
“Okay!” Yan Xi took it and rubbed her fingertips against Gu Shen’s
palm. “Thank you, Hubby.”
After Gu Shen took back his hand, he felt itchy on the area that Yan
Xi had brushed past. He twiddled his fingers and called Yan Xi back.
“Wait, there’s something else.”
Yan Xi turned around and saw the black credit card he had placed
by the table.
She froze. “Why are you giving me money?”
Gu Shen asked, “You still have money?”
The CEO was indeed a CEO. His questions were always right to the
point.
Yan Xi could not refute him because she really had no money left.The number in the Host’s bank account was pitifully small. The
credit card that Gu Shen gave her after their marriage was also
frozen by the bank because of the Host’s wanton spending.
Hence, although she looked glamorous now, she couldn’t even fork
out ten thousand yuan.
Since Gu Shen had sent the money over, Yan Xi didn’t stand on
ceremony and put it into her pocket.
Pressing her finger against the edge of the card, she thought for a
while and said, “I can’t take your money for free. If I don’t do
something for you, I’ll feel uneasy.”
“Do things?” Gu Shen’s tone was calm, but Yan Xi could still hear
the sarcasm in his words. “What can you do, boil water or boil
soup?”
When last night’s incident was brought up again, Yan Xi was a little
angry.
“Why are you talking about this too?!” She corrected herself. “I know
a lot of things. I’ve been learning massage and acupuncture for
many years. They can’t treat your illnesses, but they can at least
relieve some pain and promote the circulation of your bloodline.”
As Yan Xi spoke, her gaze landed on Gu Shen’s legs.
“Want to try? Boss.”
Gu Shen’s eyes were solemn. “You want to massage me?”
“That’s right!”
Yan Xi had thought about it before. Even if massaging could not
improve Gu Shen’s leg, it could at least make him feel lessuncomfortable. Also, as the first step of treatment, it was easier for
him to accept it.
She made up her mind to let Gu Shen try it out, so she walked to his
side and bent down slightly, her fair hand tentatively landing on Gu
Shen’s lap.
Seeing that he did not stop her, Yan Xi became bolder. Her two
thumbs stopped at his legs and pressed down heavily.
There was no longer any feeling in his legs, but Gu Shen seemed to
be able to feel her touch. His breathing became irregular and he
grabbed Yan Xi’s hand, saying, “That’s enough.”
After calming himself, Gu Shen spoke again, his tone much colder
than before.
“Massage is too cumbersome and useless to me. You don’t have to
do this.”
According to Yan Xi’s character, she would lose her patience before
long.
