Free Web NovelChapter 1035: Chapter 14: Gu Yan, Do You Know What You’re Doing?
A passionate male voice rang out first, "What nonsense are you talking? How could she be his girlfriend?"
Nie Xiaoxing, Lu Zhiquan, and the doctor, "..." All their eyes turned uniformly towards Gu Yan.
Gu Yan walked in with a grim face, grabbing Nie Xiaoxing’s arm and swinging her behind him. He stared intently at Lu Zhiquan and said, "We’re about to get our marriage certificate, so stop having ideas about her!" (Author: Little Yanzi, is it really okay to be this straightforward and down-to-earth? Gu Yan: If it makes me happy, why not? Author: Eh, I’ll step back now!)
Once Gu Yan spoke.
The most shocked wasn’t Lu Zhiquan, it was... Nie Xiaoxing!
Nie Xiaoxing’s first thought was: Did Mr. Gu have his brain squeezed by a door? What kind of nonsense was this?!
Nie Xiaoxing stared wide-eyed, looking incredulously at the back of Gu Yan’s head.
Lu Zhiquan’s eyes narrowed in shock, he looked at Nie Xiaoxing who was pulled behind by Gu Yan, before looking towards Gu Yan, "You’re Xiaoxing’s fiancé?"
"No..."
Nie Xiaoxing had just spoken when Gu Yan turned to give her a fierce glare.
Nie Xiaoxing, "..." Did this Mr. Gu see a ghost?!
"Xiaoxing isn’t someone you can call as you please! Are you guys close?" Gu Yan coldly stared at Lu Zhiquan, without holding back.
Lu Zhiquan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and looked at the unreasonable Gu Yan, bypassing him directly and looking urgently at Nie Xiaoxing standing behind him, "Xiaoxing, is he really your fiancé?"
"Absolutely genuine!" Gu Yan stepped in front of Nie Xiaoxing again, completely blocking Lu Zhiquan’s sight.
Now it was perfect.
Lu Zhiquan couldn’t even see a corner of Xiaoxing’s clothes.
Lu Zhiquan frowned in frustration, looking at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan squinted at Lu Zhiquan, not speaking for a while, seemingly pondering over something.
In the doctor’s office, the most baffled was undoubtedly the doctor.
Nie Xiaoxing steadied her somewhat chaotic thoughts, just about to step out from behind Gu Yan.
Gu Yan suddenly let go of Nie Xiaoxing’s arm, fetched a business card from his pocket, and walked over to Lu Zhiquan, slipping the card into his pocket, "Though your intentions are bad, it’s a fact that you saved our Mother King Kong. This time, consider me, Gu Yan, indebted to you. In the future, if you need anything, you can contact me through the number on the card."
Pausing, Gu Yan pursed his lips looking at Lu Zhiquan, emphasizing, "It’s me, Gu Yan, who owes you, not our Mother King Kong."
"Gu Yan, are you done yet!"
One mention after another of Mother King Kong, who is he trying to aggravate?
Nie Xiaoxing lengthened her face and moved forward, frowning at Gu Yan, "Have you had enough of this?"
Gu Yan side-eyed Nie Xiaoxing, his mouth puckered up in a way that seemed fairly aggrieved.
Nie Xiaoxing closed her eyes, unwilling to bother with him, she turned to Lu Zhiquan whose face seemed a bit dark, "You wait for me in the lobby first, I’ll go fetch the medicine."
"I..."
Lu Zhiquan opened his mouth, just about to say "I’ll go with you".
But Gu Yan, without saying anything, was already dragging Nie Xiaoxing by her hand, towing her towards the ward door.
Lu Zhiquan’s brows furrowed into a "川" character, pursing his lips tightly in discontent.
...
Nie Xiaoxing was dragged by Gu Yan all the way, no matter what she said or how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
At this moment, Nie Xiaoxing thought nothing much, only assuming it was because her arm was injured, thus she couldn’t break loose.
Arriving at the pharmacy.
Gu Yan, with a black-and-blue face, snatched the prescription from Nie Xiaoxing’s hand, paid for it, collected the medicine, and once more reached out to grab Nie Xiaoxing’s hand.
"Gu Yan!"
Nie Xiaoxing hid her hand behind her, looking at Gu Yan with eyes filled with anger and confusion, "Do you know what you’re doing?"
Gu Yan’s starry eyes flickered quickly, looking at Nie Xiaoxing, silent.
Nie Xiaoxing pressed her lips firmly, holding out her hand, "Give me the medicine."
Gu Yan looked like he deflated, obediently handing the medicine to Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing glanced at him, turned, and walked quickly towards the lobby.
Gu Yan watched Nie Xiaoxing’s back, feeling as if his heart was blocked by something, suffocating.
...
Reaching the lobby, Nie Xiaoxing saw Lu Zhiquan standing in the middle, slightly hunched, looking apologetic, she quickened her pace towards him.
Gu Yan walked slowly, with his hands in his pockets, following shortly behind Nie Xiaoxing.
Watching Nie Xiaoxing walk to Lu Zhiquan’s side, thoughtfully holding his arm as they moved forward, my heart inexplicably ached.
With pursed lips, Gu Yan followed the two with a sulky face.
"Xiao Xing, are you really engaged to Mr. Gu?" Lu Zhiquan glanced at Gu Yan following behind them, his gaze deep as he focused on Nie Xiaoxing’s profile and asked softly.
"Is it really that important whether we are or not?" Nie Xiaoxing said.
"It is important!" Lu Zhiquan replied.
Nie Xiaoxing paused slightly and looked up at Lu Zhiquan.
Lu Zhiquan looked at Nie Xiaoxing nervously, his eyes full of expectation.
Nie Xiaoxing thought for a moment and shook her head lightly, "No, we’re not."
Lu Zhiquan’s tense body relaxed immediately as he stared at Nie Xiaoxing with a refreshing smile.
Seeing this, Nie Xiaoxing subtly pressed her lips together.
Gu Yan glanced at Lu Zhiquan’s smiling face, his eyes darkening, already sharpening his blades in his heart!
...
Exiting the hospital, Nie Xiaoxing looked at Lu Zhiquan with some concern, "How about I give you a ride home?"
Lu Zhiquan was about to say no, but upon seeing Gu Yan standing not far from them, he changed his response, "As a man, would it lack masculinity to have a woman drive me home?"
Gu Yan heard this and sneered coldly.
After taking a couple of punches and humming all the way, how could he talk about masculinity?
"Is this male chauvinism?" Nie Xiaoxing raised her eyebrows and asked.
"..." Lu Zhiquan twitched his mouth, "Obviously, I’m not."
"That’s settled then." Nie Xiaoxing said as she hailed a taxi.
Seeing Nie Xiaoxing and Lu Zhiquan get into the car, Gu Yan neither stopped them nor got too close, just watched from a distance.
Nie Xiaoxing looked at Gu Yan from the car window, her eyebrows furrowing briefly before smoothing out.
He’s a grown man; nothing will happen to him!
Thinking this way, Nie Xiaoxing withdrew her gaze from Gu Yan.
Meanwhile, the car drove away, sliding in front of Gu Yan.
Gu Yan squinted at the departing taxi, nearly breaking his teeth from clenching.
...
When the taxi stopped at the luxurious apartment building where Lu Zhiquan lived, Nie Xiaoxing realized that Lu Zhiquan lived only one street over from her own apartment.
This discovery surprised Nie Xiaoxing, although it was just a surprise.
After getting out of the car, Nie Xiaoxing handed the medication to Lu Zhiquan, "Just follow the instructions on the medicine for oral intake."
Lu Zhiquan took it and looked at Nie Xiaoxing with some concern. "It’s so late; are you sure you’ll be okay? If not, I’ll take you home."
"No need, I live just up ahead, less than a street away." Nie Xiaoxing said.
Listening, Lu Zhiquan seemed startled, "You live nearby?"
Nie Xiaoxing nodded.
"What a coincidence!" Lu Zhiquan said excitedly, his eyes reflecting joyfully at Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing lowered her lashes and said, "You should go inside first."
Lu Zhiquan remained still, grinning foolishly at Nie Xiaoxing.
Despite not looking up, Nie Xiaoxing could feel his gaze, her lashes flickering twice, "You should go in. I’m heading back too."
"Xiao Xing, do you think this is fate?" Lu Zhiquan said with excitement in his voice.
Nie Xiaoxing glanced ahead, then said to Lu Zhiquan, "I’m leaving now, you should go inside too. Thank you for today."
After speaking, Nie Xiaoxing didn’t give Lu Zhiquan a chance to open his mouth again and quickly walked away clutching her bag.
Lu Zhiquan turned to watch Nie Xiaoxing’s retreating figure, his handsome face still brimming with joy, "Xiao Xing, be careful."
Nie Xiaoxing’s steps forward halted abruptly, her form pausing for a couple of seconds before continuing to move forward.
Lu Zhiquan just stood there, watching until Nie Xiaoxing disappeared from sight before taking a deep breath, clutching his chest, and heading toward the apartment building.
On the side of the road opposite the apartment building, sitting in his beloved car, Gu Yan snorted coldly at Lu Zhiquan’s back, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly stomped on the gas, driving away.
...
Returning to the apartment building, Nie Xiaoxing stepped out of the elevator as it reached the floor. Just as one foot stepped out, a chilling male voice unexpectedly wafted over from the front.
