After the commotion.
Gu Xiyan lay on Mu Jinyu's chest, looking up at his handsome face with a strange light flickering in her beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Am I officially your girlfriend now? And the first one to clarify our relationship?"
"Yes... right?!" Mu Jinyu stiffened at the question, "The first one to clarify the relationship as a girlfriend."
Mu Jinyu spoke with hesitation and uncertainty, because if it was about clarifying a relationship, Gu Xiyan should be the first woman he knew in that sense, but...
What about Mei Yinxue?
They had also been intimate, but Mei Yinxue's attitude clearly didn't indicate she wanted to be his woman.
So, Mu Jinyu was also somewhat confused: who should be considered his first woman, Mei Yinxue or Gu Xiyan?
In terms of a real relationship, it obviously should be Mei Yinxue, but in public, it should be Gu Xiyan.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's hesitation, Gu Xiyan immediately got up from his body, her gaze wandering anxiously as she said, "Who else is there?"
Who was it that had gotten ahead of her?
Was it Lin Qiaoxia? But judging by her behavior at the hospital just now, her relationship with Mu Jinyu evidently hadn't reached the stage of her own.
Wen Rou? It didn't seem like it; she lived with her and would have noticed something.
Xu Qingya? But at the company, their relationship seemed even less than Lin Qiaoxia's.
Gu Xiyan's face shifted between sun and shadow as she pondered over the possibility of Mu Jinyu being entangled with that other woman behind her back. Then a light bulb went off in her head, and she thought of the person who had made her jealous once before... Mei Yinxue!
"Is it her? Yes, it must be her!"
Gu Xiyan's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the guilty-looking Mu Jinyu, her expression turning unfriendly she said coldly, "Mei Yinxue? Did you hook up with her?!"
"Ah? How did you know?"
Mu Jinyu, racked with guilt, hesitated whether to come clean to Gu Xiyan; he didn't want to keep secrets from her after all.
Yet he had not expected Gu Xiyan to guess it on her own.
This made him feel even more guilty.
"So it was her!"
Gu Xiyan had also just been speculating; her sudden accusation was partly a bluff to test Mu Jinyu, and to her surprise, he had admitted it outright.
Looking at Mu Jinyu, anger overflowed in Gu Xiyan's eyes as she scolded him, "Why did you have to mess with her of all people? She is a very dangerous woman!"
Guilty, Mu Jinyu averted his gaze, unable to meet Gu Xiyan's eyes, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm not too sure myself. I was planning to distance myself from her, but somehow, we ended up getting closer. Recently, I was abducted..."
Before Mu Jinyu could finish, Gu Xiyan interrupted him with a gasp, "Huh?! You were kidnapped?"
Her eyes filled with worry and fear, she stared at Mu Jinyu as though he had been kidnapped again.
"Yes." Mu Jinyu, reminded of the inexplicable intimacy with Mei Yinxue and feeling guilty for not having mentioned the incident to them, decided to reveal all to Gu Xiyan. He explained how he had been taken away by Huang Qiuhua's men, treated Huang Qiuhua, taken the opportunity to bring them all down, and then called Mei Yinxue to tidy things up.
He had intended to sell Huang Qiuhua to Mei Yinxue for a good price, but instead...
He had been bewildered and tricked by Mei Yinxue, losing billions!
After hearing the whole story and knowing Mu Jinyu was unharmed, Gu Xiyan first breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, Mu Jinyu was right in front of her, and whether he was alright was clear at a glance, but she was so worried about Mu Jinyu. The moment she heard he was kidnapped, she became inexplicably nervous, and she even stopped caring so much about him being involved with Mei Yinxue.
After a slight relief, Gu Xiyan thought of the words Mu Jinyu had just said, and her beautiful eyes stared at Mu Jinyu with a flickering cold light.
How infuriating, that woman Mei Yinxue actually got ahead of her!
Gu Xiyan clenched her little fist, growing angrier the more she thought about it. She had humbled herself to the point of abandoning all her dignity and pride, and had made her feelings clear to Mu Jinyu, but in the end, she was still a step too late!
Someone had beaten her to it!!
"You jerk!!"
Unable to bear the grievance any longer and growing more furious as she pondered, Gu Xiyan eventually couldn't help herself and pounced on Mu Jinyu again, biting down fiercely on his shoulder.
"Hiss!"
Mu Jinyu grimaced in pain.
Gu Xiyan bit hard, and she bit down on the very spot she had injured before, making it even more unbearable for Mu Jinyu.
Quite a while passed.
Finally, Gu Xiyan let go, and then she noticed a faint taste of blood in her mouth.
After pursing her lips, she looked up at Mu Jinyu's shoulder and saw that his collar was stained red, obviously from the blood she had drawn.
"Ah?!" Gu Xiyan, seeing Mu Jinyu injured, couldn't help but startle, with a mix of self-reproach and regret on her face, "You're hurt? Why didn't you push me away!"
Gu Xiyan deeply regretted her actions, having just been venting her frustration and feeling of injustice, completely forgetting that Mu Jinyu was no iron man and was bound to be hurt by being bitten by her for so long!
"It's okay, I am the Divine Doctor after all. A small wound like this is nothing." Mu Jinyu's face was slightly pale, but he smiled at Gu Xiyan.
"Besides, it was originally my fault, letting you suffer. I deserve it!"
As Mu Jinyu spoke, he took out a Silver Needle and quickly pricked a few acupuncture points on his body, stopping the bleeding and causing the wounds to scab over and fall off.
Soon, he looked as though he had never been injured before.
Other than the bloodstain on his collar, there was almost no sign that Mu Jinyu had been bitten and injured by Gu Xiyan.
"You haven't done anything wrong to me. When you were messing around with her, we weren't together yet!"
Watching Mu Jinyu's actions, Gu Xiyan said with a touch of guilt.
Afterward, as she watched how quickly he removed the bite mark she had left, she couldn't help but marvel.
Even though she had already heard from Wen Rou and Xu Qingya how unbelievable and incredible Mu Jinyu's medical skills were, witnessing it firsthand still made her feel it was unimaginable.
"You're alright now, aren't you?" Gu Xiyan looked at Mu Jinyu's shoulder a few times, asking with caution.
Mu Jinyu shook his head, smiling, "I'm fine, just lost some blood. I'll make it up at dinner."
"Alright." Having vented, Gu Xiyan stopped dwelling on Mu Jinyu's involvement with Mei Yinxue and felt much less miserable and depressed. She was a lot calmer, "It's getting late. Shall we go eat?"
"Alright, let's go eat. We won't go back to work later. Today is a special day for us to be together. We should commemorate it well without regrets, um... How about the Shangri-La Hotel?!" Mu Jinyu suggested, smiling at Gu Xiyan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan's face immediately turned as red as an apple.
From Mu Jinyu's words, she had a hint of what he meant. Although she felt shy, she did not resist and meekly lowered her head, softly whispering an agreement, "Alright."
