The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1311 Yun Rui Enchen: No Help, Only Trade

Just when the two were about to part ways unhappily, a reminder of the shortness of life broke the gloomy atmosphere. Gu Yunxi raised his eyes and glanced at the screen that flashed brightly due to the vibration, and pursed his lips.

No cell phone...

On the other side, Yan Wanqing felt very anxious as she looked at the message she had sent. If she had known earlier, she should have stayed with this little ancestor all the time!

Fifteen minutes ago, the convenience store clerk called Yang Xiaotang using her cell phone and said that she fainted in the rain and was sent to the emergency room.

But in the blink of an eye, Yan Wanqing couldn't help but feel sorry for herself. These adults loved her, she loved him, but he didn't love her. In the end, the one who got hit hard was her, an unrelated person!

Why?

When Yan Wanqing rushed to St. Thomas' Hospital, the smell of disinfectant was spreading along the corridor.

The moment she pushed open the door of the ward, she saw Gu Yunxi sitting beside the bed, holding a wrung-out hot towel in his hand, gently wiping Yang Xiaotang's face.

Two different emotions fell on each of them, and the two of them were silent.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening reached their ears. They both turned their heads to look. Instead of the tall figure they expected, there was a slender figure with a temperament that was the opposite of his...

"Why are you here?" Yan Wanqing's voice suddenly rose, with a sense of guilt that she herself was not aware of.

She walked a few steps to the bedside and snatched the towel from Yan Wanqing's hand. "I'll take care of you here. Go back and rest early. I'll postpone your work start time for an hour tomorrow."

Yan Wanqing's hands froze in mid-air. Looking at Gu Yunxi's tense profile, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then she stood up calmly: "Let me do it."

"Why are you so flustered? I'm not going to eat that little girl!"

Her voice was particularly harsh in the quiet ward, but fortunately it was a single room and there were no outsiders.

However, Yan Wanqing would uncontrollably cast a resentful look at the person in front of her, and then warm up her aura the moment her eyes met. The woman in front of her was far superior to her in both appearance and temperament, and her inferiority complex made her feel ashamed...

"Ms. Gu, Xiaotang is my assistant, so why should I bother you with this? If my people are sick, it's natural for me, the leader, to take care of them."

Yan Wanqing took a deep breath but still couldn't help refusing. It was already her work mistake to invite Gu Yunxi here. If she was asked to stay as a caregiver, Qi Ruixiang would tear her apart tomorrow without caring about their brotherly relationship!

Gu Yunxi leaned against the wall, looking at the woman in front of him who was out of control, and suddenly felt a little absurd. "I just came to see how she was doing, there's no other intention. Or are you hiding something from me?"

Yan Wanqing didn't even dare to breathe after hearing these words. She only said these two sentences, which made her feel like she was hit by hail repeatedly. However, Gu Yunxi just looked at her quietly. There was no anger in his eyes, only a calmness that was almost compassionate.

The smell of disinfectant in the corridor suddenly became pungent. She looked into Gu Yunxi's calm eyes and suddenly realized how ridiculous her previous behavior was. At that moment, she was really caught up in the drama of the wife catching the mistress, and she was...

Gu Yunxi didn't respond, but just stepped aside to make way for the bed...

The liquid medicine in the infusion tube climbed up the transparent hose, reflecting tiny rays of light under the lamplight.

She walked to the bedside and tucked the corner of the quilt for Yang Xiaotang. Her fingertips accidentally touched the back of the other's hand, which was as cold as a piece of jade.

"I'm going out for some fresh air." Yan Wanqing lowered her voice and signaled Yang Xiaotang with her eyes - her lips were pursed into a straight line, her brows were slightly furrowed, and finally she quickly glanced at Gu Yunxi at the door, her eyes full of "Don't be impulsive."

Yang Xiaotang blinked in response. It wasn't until the ward door made a soft sound that she slowly turned her head and looked at Gu Yunxi, who was sitting in the chair opposite.

The other person was taking out a thermos from a canvas bag. When he opened the lid, the rich aroma of ginger tea wafted out.

"The nurse said you have a fever from being caught in the rain. Drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up." Gu Yunxi poured a cup of ginger tea and stirred it gently with a spoon. The steaming heat blurred her outline. "I asked Auntie to add brown sugar to make it less spicy."

Yang Xiaotang didn't move, just stared at the cup of amber liquid.

She had anticipated that Gu Yunxi would show off Qi Ruixiang's thoughtfulness, assert her sovereignty like a hostess, and even force her to leave with sarcasm, but she had never expected such a scene - like a neighbor visiting an old friend, so gentle that it made people uneasy.

"No thanks." Yang Xiaotang turned away, her voice hard, "I'm not thirsty."

Gu Yunxi didn't force him. She placed the cup on the bedside table and took a sip herself. The spicy aroma of ginger tea escaped from the corners of her mouth, but she was as calm as if she were drinking plain water. "Actually, I should have come earlier. Just now in the restaurant, I knew that Ruixiang's thoughtfulness was intentional to show you and hurt you, but I didn't stop him."

Yang Xiaotang's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly.

"We liked each other, but because of so many things, we can't be together. No matter what, I never thought of hurting you." She raised her head, her eyes frankly frightening, "But no matter what, it was us who made you feel uncomfortable. I'm sorry..."

The apology came so unexpectedly that Yang Xiaotang was at a loss.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say "You're right" or "You all owe me", but in the end she just bit her lower lip and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her throat.

Gu Yunxi seemed not to notice her stiffness and continued softly, "Actually, he is a good person. If you want to catch him, I can help you." She smiled, with a faint dimple at the corner of her eyes, "But..."

Yang Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Gu Yunxi's calm expression, and her mood, which had finally relaxed, became tense again.

There is no such thing as good things without reason in the adult world. The collapse mentioned at the beginning was just a prelude to the final turning point!

Gu Yunxi is here to discuss business!

"He wants to make a deal with me, and then after achieving his goal, he'll put all the blame on me. Even if I get his body, I can't get his heart." Yang Xiaotang's voice was still hoarse, but without the sharpness from before. "He will always miss you and hate me for the rest of his life."

Gu Yunxi raised his eyebrows. Although Yang Xiaotang was a love-brained person and communication was effortless, the fact that she could think of this showed that she was not stupid!

But she was still naive after all...

"I do have something to discuss with you, because you're the only one who can help me with this!" Gu Yunxi was very frank. "The reward I can give you is to help you get the man you want. As for where his heart lies, what does it matter? Isn't it enough that he's yours?"

Yang Xiaotang's breathing stagnated. She obviously didn't expect that Gu Yunxi, who was also a woman, would say such a thing!

But the other party did not give her any extra time to think...

"Have you heard about the missing person case in the Thames?" Gu Yunxi's voice deepened. "Last month, a Chinese man jumped into the river, and his body hasn't been found yet."

Yang Xiaotang frowned. She had seen on the news that an international student named Lin Xu had committed suicide due to depression.

"The police ruled it a suicide, but I don't believe it." Gu Yunxi's fingertips clenched the strap of the canvas bag, his knuckles turning white. "If I give you a power of attorney, can you naturally get the domestic police involved in the investigation of this case?"
