Chapter 13 - Mister really cares about you

After some while, Gu Yanxi straightensout her breath, and Cook Sister Zhang holds her to lie well on the bed. Zhang finds that the needle in her forehand is movingaround, which has causeda big bump. Zhang rings for the nurse in haste and then a nurse arrives.

The nurse takes out of the needle, which brings some blood out. Shesticks a piece of medical tape on Gu Yanxi’shand, strangles the tourniquet on the other hand and finds a plumped blood vessel. The cold needle pieces Gu Yanxi’s white skin.So painful!However, Gu Yanxi,just likea puppet during the whole process, doesn’tmovean eyelid.

“The patient suffered a serious hit, with a shadow in her lungs already, and the high fever led to pneumonia. Itis serious. You, as her families, must take good care of her. Cough, so dangerous for her, will complicate theillness.” The nurse says while fixing the needle with tapes.

Cook Sister Zhang replies quickly, “I see. I’ll be careful next time.”

The nurse leaves away. Cook Sister Zhang, standing beside the bed, asks in a low voice, “Madam, are you hungry?I cooked porridge. Eata little, OK?”

Gu Yanxi shakes her head feebly and closes her eyes again. She, too tired as she is,just wants to sleep.

Seeing Huo Yichen stand aside, Cook Sister Zhang, clever as she is, leaves away.

There are only two persons- Gu Yanxi and Huo Yichen in the ward.One is enclosed in a world of her own, with her eyes closed,while the other, standing at the window, takes out a cigarette and puts it back after a long while.

The doctor, a middle-aged woman in forties with kind lookson her face, visits Gu Yanxi. Shelistens to Gu Yanxi’s lungs with a stethoscope, and asks about herphysical recovery.

After that, the doctor says to Huo Yichen, “Mister, the doctor cures the sick, rather than emotional wound. Your wifeis soluckyto get a narrow escape. It is domestic violence and abuse that hurt the heart most. ”

Huo Yichen hasn’t been lectured by others. On the doctor’s words, hegrits his teeth, without a single word.

The doctor leaves away. Gu Yanxi closes her eyes again. She doesn’t want to see Huo Yichen, evena single glance. Wherever Huo Yichen is, shefeels hard to breathe.

Huo Yichen stands alone for a long time and then strides out of the ward.

Cook Sister Zhang enters the ward after Huo Yichen leaves away. Sheopens the insulted bucket, pours out a bowl of porridge, and whispers to Gu Yanxi, “Madam, you have slept for a day and a night. You must be hungry. Wake up to eat some porridge.”

Gu Yanxi is really hungry now.What’s more, she doesn’t want to die.

Cook Sister Zhang supports Gu Yanxi to sit, with her back resting against the headboard, and feeds her with a spoon. Seeing that Gu Yanxi feels better, Zhang no longer restrainsherself, “Madam, I have been servingMr. Huo sincehe was in Luzhou three yearsago. Although he is normally grave, he is a good man. No matter how bad his reputation outside, he never takes any woman back home to stay over. This time you fall ill, heaccompanied you for a day and a night, with redness in his eyes. Hereally cares about you. He is just…inarticulate toexpress his feelings. ”

Gu Yanxi pauses to eat porridge. Huo Yichen accompanied her for a day and a night? That’s not caring for her, but afraid of her dead. If she died, he would be convicted of murder, which will be a stain for him.

Huo Yichen, unusual irritable in the company, scolds all the executive managers. Someone informs anonymously that one director forcedactressesto play by the rules. Huo Yichen kicks the director out of the company directly regardless of several peoples’ intercession.

Geng Chao enters Huo Yichen’s office, puts a paper bag on the table and reports to him, “Mister, I have investigated Madam’s whereabouts. It’s very simple. Besides working in theclub, she went to the hospital to take care ofGu Wenhai. The day before yesterday, shewent to the private detective agency and paid RMB60,000, in order to investigate Gu Zi’an and Liu Manman by detectives.”

Huo Yichen asks Geng Chao to leave. Then ,he takes the staff inside the paper bag. There is CCTV pictures, bus records and note-taking by the private detective agency.

The purpose that Gu Yanxi makes money is to hire detectives to investigate Gu Zi’an and Liu Manman. What does she adhere to? If she has no money, she can ask him for money. He will surely give her money. If she wants ravage, she just needs to beg him and he is bound to helpher.

Gu Yanxi, such a weak woman, wants to fight with Gu Zi’an and Liu Manman on her own. How hard it can be!

In fact, Huo Yichen keeps an eye on Gu Yanxi during these years. However, the conclusion is that she is a good-hearted and simple girl, with good manners, who opens her mouth to be fed and holds out her hands to be dressed, and is to be totally spoiled by Gu Wenhai and Gu Zi’an. Sheis a natural beauty. It is said that she inherited her mother’s beauty. She is a bit clever, which maybeinherited from her father’s gene.

Huo Yichen, resembling a god, married Gu Yanxi at that moment, just for revenge. However, after hegets along withher, he finds that she is not a “greenhouse flower” as he thought before. She has tough character and pride of asking for no help from others. Hecan see the struggling and unruliness in the deep of her eyes every time when she suppresses her own motions, just like docile cat.

Huo Yichen thought that he can easily take control ofGu Yanxi. But in fact, he is unable to see through her.

Huo Yichen’s secretary knocks at the door and entersthe room, “Mr. Huo, according to your schedule, you will accompany Miss. Shen to attend a charity luncheonat noon.Miss. Shen is waiting for you.”

Huo Yichen is quite agitated, “Let she go alone. I am not available.”

The secretary confounds a moment, and then she nods quickly and goes out.

“Miss. Shen, Mr. Huo has other arrangement at noon. Please attend the charity luncheon with your assistant. No need to wait for him.” Chen, Huo Yichen’s secretary, transfers Huo Yichen’s message very tactfully to Shen Jun.

Hearing her words, Shen Jun, who kepta smiling one second before, shows traces of disappointment onher face. She has never thought that Huo Yichen would make such a decision.

Huo Yichen has accompanied her for over a month. She thought that she could go into upper class circles if she tired hard. But the result is that she is shut out of the door.

Shen Jun is a scheminggirl. Or she would not become “abig wheel” around Huo Yichen from “a walk-on”.She knows that Huo Yichen is hotly favoredby numerous women, but no one captures his heart. However, she is different from other women -she is Shen Jun.

Shen Jun is stunned just for a second and then she resumes her smiling, “Secretary Chen, please tell him not towork too hard. I can go with my assistant. ”

Having left Asian Culture, Shen Jun calls on her assistant, “Yezi, from now on,monitor Mr. Huo’s travel, every move of him. Remember, be careful. Don’t let anyone find out.”

Yezi asks suspiciously, “Miss. Shen, do you suspect him for a new lover?”

Shen Jun squirts her eyes slightly, “Huo Yichen is cold-blooded, without a long spell of love for woman. Pursuedby numerous women, he has more temptation. I have competed with others to play up to him. He is my ‘tower of strength’. I cannot hand it over to others!”

Yezi nods, “Miss. Shen, I see. I will follow Mr. Huo. But just as I have already told you, if you want to catch a man, you mustsleep with him.”

Shen Jun bites her lips, “I also want to sleep with him. But I don’t get any chance. In fact, heis not a romantic manas rumored. He really restrains himself.”

Yezi smiles suddenly, “Miss. Shen, opportunities are not doomed but created by people.”
