That very night, Nanxi was taken home by Lu Yinchu. On the way, Nanxi could not suppress her curiosity and wanted to gossip about Gui Xi and Guan La with Lu Yinchu!
But Lu Yinchu played it cool, seemingly not wanting to say much with succinct responses!
Nanxi pouted, "I have a hunch that the reason why Sister La and Doctor Gui haven’t gotten together yet might have something to do with you!"
Nanxi turned her head to look out the window, ignoring him!
In fact, Nanxi’s suspicions were not groundless. Guan La had admitted to liking Lu Yinchu in the past, but ultimately gave up!
Perhaps that was the root cause of their estrangement, leading to their current situation!
At this, Lu Yinchu cleared his throat, "Nanxi, things are not as simple as you think..."
"But they’re also not as complicated as you think... Now I finally realize why all these wonderful people around you, for some reason, remain unmarried or unhappy in their marriages!"
"Of course it’s because of you!" Nanxi said, "Women like you because you’re too good-looking, so they can’t settle for other men; and men are heartbroken because the women they like, end up liking you... In short, it’s all your fault!"
So this is what they mean by pinning the blame even without pretext?
Lu Yinchu chose to stay silent, believing that less talk would mean less reproof, and once they got home, a few cajoling words would surely put the little girl in her place, so he was not in a rush!
Issues can always be settled in bed once they get home!
Nanxi wasn’t taken seriously, she was sulking on her own. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned her head to call out, "Lu Yinchu..."
The man looked at her quizzically, "What’s up?"
Nanxi: "It seems like they didn’t give you the money you won from the card game last night..."
When Nanxi woke up the next morning, Lu Yinchu was already waiting with breakfast prepared, though he looked very gloomy!
Last night, Nanxi had taken it upon herself to punish Lu Yinchu slightly, leaving him locked out of the bedroom!
Her reason: he was unloyal to both his male and female friends! So she had to punish him!
Another reason: the recent frequent sexual intimacy was taking a toll on her health, she decided to let him cool down for a few days!
What she didn’t know was that he, spending the night alone in the guest room without her by his side, was sleep-deprived and had to take two cold showers!
Resulting in him catching a slight cold the next morning and having a sore throat!
And likewise, what Lu Yinchu didn’t know was that without his comforting embrace last night, Nanxi had woken up several times!
Every time contemplating if she should get him to come over! Then deciding not to disturb his sleep! Then again, he could be awoken, right? But knowing he had work the next day, she didn’t want to disrupt his rest...
In such turmoil, she also had a rough night!
After breakfast, they went off to work. Lu Yinchu’s cold seemed to have worsened, his voice all nasal. Nanxi wasn’t aware of the situation and thought it was probably because he kicked off his blankets while sleeping alone last night!
She had no idea, a man in his thirties still kicked off his blankets while sleeping!
Regardless, Lu Yinchu really did catch a cold, that’s a fact, and Nanxi was worried about him.
"Lu Yinchu, do you want to go see a doctor?" Nanxi asked.
Lu Yinchu waved his hand in dismissal, "It’s just a minor cold, medication will do!"
The car made a turn, heading towards the company.
Nanxi thought, Lu Yinchu was really stubborn, such a mature man yet so disobedient!
"Lu Yinchu, I also feel a bit unwell, let’s go to the hospital together!" Nanxi said.
"You’re unwell too? What’s wrong?"
Lu Yinchu quickly grabbed Nanxi’s hand, asking with a concerned expression.
"I... my stomach, my stomach feels uncomfortable!"
"Could it be because you ate too much fruit yesterday?"
Nanxi pondered for a moment and nodded: "... Pretty much!"
"You’re so weak, mother was right, you definitely need to replenish your health!" There was reproof and worry in Lu Yinchu’s words!
"Hold tight, we’re going to the hospital right away!"
Lu Yinchu finished speaking, made a U-turn and headed in the opposite direction.
The destination was still the Gui family hospital. However, upon their arrival intending to find Gui Xi, the staff informed them that Gui Xi had not come to work yet and seemed to have taken the day off, so he might not be able to come in today!
