Chapter 153 She’s Mine
Yan Xi gave Zhou Xu a lot of trust, which stunned him and made him more determined.
“I won’t let Mr. and Mrs. Gu down.”
Gu Shen did not speak. His lips pursed tightly, obviously displeased.
Yan Xi’s trust and bias towards Zhou Xu made him feel very uncomfortable.
He understood what Yan Xi was trying to do. Only by putting her trust in Zhou Xu and making him the leader could they avoid all kinds of trouble in the future. However, Gu Shen couldn’t help but feel happy.
For a long while, Gu Shen did not speak. Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Yan Xi gently tugged at his sleeve.
Gu Shen looked at her and said slowly, “My wife will take care of this matter on my behalf.”
After the meeting ended, Zhou Xu stayed behind to discuss the specific treatment matters with Gu Shen and Yan Xi for the afternoon.
Yan Xi and Zhou Xu talked for a long while before they noticed that Gu Shen had been remaining silent all this time.
Without outsiders around, Yan Xi became more unreserved and asked, “Hubby, do you still have any questions?”
Gu Shen said in a low voice, “No.”
“That’s it for now.” Yan Xi stretched her neck and was no longer as solemn as before. “Thank you, Doctor Zhou. Do you want to have lunch with us later?”
Zhou Xu smiled. Before he could speak, Gu Shen interrupted
“I’m having a video conference this afternoon.”
Zhou Xu was very sensible. “In that case, I won’t disturb Mr. Gu anymore. I’ll go prepare the equipment needed for treatment. See you later.”
Yan Xi watched Zhou Xu leave, then leaned on the table and looked at Gu Shen.
“If you’re having a meeting here, I’ll go buy some salad and bread. I’ll also buy some yogurt. What flavor do you want?”
“No need.” Gu Shen tapped his phone and said calmly, “The meeting was canceled just
now.”
Yan Xi was silent for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll call for delivery. Is there anything you want to eat?”
“No.” Gu Shen said honestly, “I don’t have an appetite.”
Though Yan Xi was normally slow on the uptake, she could tell that something was wrong with Gu Shen. She chuckled and reached out to gently poke Gu Shen’s shoulder.
“Seriously? I was just chatting with Zhou Xu for the sake of your treatment.”
“Mm.” Gu Shen nodded. He looked at Yan Xi and said in a low voice, sounding aggrieved, “I know. You did it for my sake.”
“If you know, why are you still so unhappy?” Yan Xi sighed, then stood up and walked to Gu Shen’s side. “You know who I like, don’t you?”
Zhou Xu returned to the meeting room to get the document. He pushed the door open and saw Yan Xi bend down and kiss the man in the wheelchair.
A gentle smile was on her face as she said, “Are you happier now?”
“Mm.” Gu Shen held Yan Xi’s waist and pulled her into his arms.
Suddenly, he looked up and met Zhou Xu’s gaze. His eyes were dark and filled with a strong sense of possessiveness, as if they were saying, “She’s mine.”.
Zhou Xu stood at the door, not knowing what to do. Just as he was about to leave quietly, Gu Shen suddenly spoke.
“Hello, Doctor Zhou, what brings you back?”
Yan Xi turned around. When she saw Zhou Xu, she quickly stood up, her face slightly red and a little embarrassed.
Zhou Xu laughed awkwardly. “I… I left some documents here.”
Yan Xi touched her nose and lowered her head as she passed the documents to Zhou Xu. The vibe was unbearably embarrassing.
Zhou Xu took the document and wanted to leave quickly, but he was stopped by Gu Shen.
“Doctor Zhou, I have some questions to ask
you.”
“Huh?” Zhou Xu was at a loss.
“Mr. Gu, what questions do you have?”
“Let’s sit down and talk.” Gu Shen was in a much better mood than before. He even said to Yan Xi, “By the way, help Doctor Zhou order some takeout too.”
“Doctor Zhou, is there anything you don’t like? Is French food okay?”
“Anything… is fine.” Zhou Xu was restless and felt like something was staring at him.
Gu Shen pointed out a few parts of the proposal that he did not understand and asked Zhou Xu to help him dispel his doubts. The questions he asked were tricky, but Zhou Xu answered them with professional precision.
Gu Shen finally asked, “Medical schools probably don’t have a data analysis department, but Doctor Zhou is very capable in this aspect. Did you learn it yourself?”
