Qiao Yuxian stayed in Shen Wenyan’s office until he started his afternoon shift and then went to pay the bills and pick up the medication.
Shen Wenyan didn’t go directly to the inpatient department but stayed with her to pay bills and pick up medication, escorting her to the entrance.
He wasn’t worried that Qiao Yuxian would do anything foolish due to being upset; he was more concerned that she might get into a dispute with someone in the crowded lobby and end up in trouble.
At the hospital entrance, Qiao Yuxian stopped and said to him, "Hurry and get to work, you’re late." This content belongs to NovelHub(.)net
"It’s okay. There’s nothing urgent, a few minutes won’t make a difference," Shen Wenyan replied.
Seeing a car approaching, Shen Wenyan held her arm and guided her to the side, "Go talk with Gu Yanjing."
Qiao Yuxian nodded again.
Shen Wenyan said, "Medication is not a long-term solution; you need to resolve what’s in your heart."
Qiao Yuxian still nodded.
Shen Wenyan chuckled, "What’s wrong? Have I talked you into being silent? Turned you into a little mute?"
Qiao Yuxian also smiled and looked up at him, "How come Dr. Shen isn’t confident in his own medical skills?"
"I’m confident in my skills, but not so much in your unpredictability," Shen Wenyan said.
Qiao Yuxian laughed again and was about to speak when she caught sight of a familiar car pulling up beside them. She instinctively glanced over and saw the window roll down to reveal Gu Yanjing’s face.
Qiao Yuxian’s small shoulders trembled, and she took a step back behind Shen Wenyan.
Gu Yanjing’s face became even more serious.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t touch Shen Wenyan; she just wanted something to shield herself, and since he was the only thing nearby, she stepped behind him.
Leaving Shen Wenyan to face Gu Yanjing’s stern, dark face alone.
"Mr. Gu." Shen Wenyan wore a smile.
Gu Yanjing ignored him and looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Noticing his gaze, Qiao Yuxian pulled at her clothes so that Shen Wenyan completely shielded her.
Shen Wenyan: "......"
Gu Yanjing’s expression was colder than a frigid January day, "Qiao Yuxian."
His voice was deep and cold.
Shen Wenyan furrowed his brows, his smile vanishing instantly.
But before he could say anything, Qiao Yuxian’s voice sounded, "Don’t call me, I can’t hear you."
The frustration bubbling up in Shen Wenyan’s heart was left hanging because of her words.
"Get in the car yourself, or I’ll go drag you into it," Gu Yanjing said coldly.
Qiao Yuxian stayed silent.
Gu Yanjing got out of the car, slamming the door shut, and just as he did, Qiao Yuxian thought of running.
But Gu Yanjing called her again, and she didn’t dare to run.
Gu Yanjing approached, with Shen Wenyan not budging to let him through.
Gu Yanjing frowned at him.
Shen Wenyan said, "Mr. Gu, I think you should try to control your temper."
Gu Yanjing looked at him but said nothing.
Qiao Yuxian could clearly feel the sudden hostility between the two, aimed at each other.
"Mr. Gu, she’s her own person with her own thoughts. Please respect her a bit, don’t order her around like that," Shen Wenyan’s expression turned cold.
"This is a matter between my wife and me; it’s not for Dr. Shen to interfere," Gu Yanjing replied.
His voice and expression were not only cold but his presence was overwhelmingly strong.
But Shen Wenyan didn’t back down at all, "Even though you’re married, you still..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when Qiao Yuxian stepped between them, pushing them apart slightly, "What are you two doing? No fighting, I’ll be angry if you fight."
It was just a casual remark, and both of them stopped talking, leaving the rest of Qiao Yuxian’s prepared words unspoken.
She looked at both of them, then turned her back to Gu Yanjing and said to Shen Wenyan, "Brother Wen Yan, don’t be mad, don’t be mad. Didn’t you just say we should have a good talk?"
Gu Yanjing watched her as she first reassured someone else, his fingers by his side trembling.
"Better not talk, I don’t think Mr. Gu is in the right mood for it," Shen Wenyan said coldly.
"No, no, he won’t hit anyone," Qiao Yuxian said, "Brother Wenyan, don’t worry, I... huh?"
Gu Yanjing grabbed Qiao Yuxian’s hand and pulled her to his side.
Seeing him pull her, Shen Wenyan held onto Qiao Yuxian from this side.
He always thought Gu Yanjing had a violent streak and might hit Qiao Yuxian.
Even though Qiao Yuxian was pretty good at fighting, against Gu Yanjing, Shen Wenyan felt her chances might not be high.
"Let go," Gu Yanjing said coldly.
Qiao Yuxian, hearing his voice and seeing his look, felt he might want to chop off Shen Wenyan’s hand.
It was during the afternoon clinic hours, and the hospital entrance was full of people. Two stunningly handsome guys vying for one incredibly beautiful girl.
Moreover, some people recognized Shen Wenyan.
Qiao Yuxian shook off both of their hands and said, "Enough, what’s going on, you’re hurting me."
Both of them stayed silent.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing, "Wait there for me."
Qiao Yuxian took a step toward Shen Wenyan.
Gu Yanjing wanted to step forward and pull her away, but Qiao Yuxian suddenly turned and looked at him.
Mr. Gu’s steps halted.
Shen Wenyan watched as the somber and severe Mr. Gu stood motionless, "......"
Qiao Yuxian opened the bag slung on her back, quickly putting the medication Shen Wenyan was holding into it, and took the lunch box from him. With her gaze down, she organized her bag and said, "He’s very good to me."
Saying that, she looked at him, gave him a slight smile, "Thank you, Brother Wenyan, hurry back to work. Don’t worry about me."
Shen Wenyan didn’t reply.
Qiao Yuxian retreated to Gu Yanjing’s side, glanced at him, and seeing his anger, she tugged at his sleeve.
Gu Yanjing held her hand and directly pulled her away.
Qiao Yuxian, being pulled by him, turned back to wave at Shen Wenyan.
Gu Yanjing didn’t have time to lead her around to the front passenger seat, he opened the back door and let her in first.
Then quickly drove the car away.
Shen Wenyan watched the car leave, standing outside for a while before heading back into the hospital.
In their usual interactions, it wasn’t noticeable, but after encountering Gu Yanjing, he could feel it. Compared to Gu Yanjing, he seemed more like an outsider.
With Gu Yanjing, she was casual; with him, she was polite.
Shen Wenyan sighed, helplessly pulled at his lips, and headed to the inpatient department.
Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing remained silent the entire way.
After arriving at Fenglin Villa, they both entered the villa.
Changing shoes and entering the living room, Qiao Yuxian saw his stern countenance and, after a pause, said, "What are you angry about? It’s because you were too fierce; Brother Wenyan thought you were going to hit me, that’s why he wouldn’t let me go."
It seemed like Gu Yanjing’s auditory system was malfunctioning.
He only heard Qiao Yuxian saying, "@#%￥#@#@#￥Brother Wenyan@#￥&*￥@#$*..."
He glanced at her, didn’t speak, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Qiao Yuxian followed him, "We’ve grown up together since childhood; he’s like my real brother. Why are you jealous of my brother?"
This time Gu Yanjing heard her, and emphasized, "He’s not your real brother."
"He’s closer than a real brother," Qiao Yuxian continued.
Gu Yanjing looked at her and didn’t say anything again.
Qiao Yuxian stood next to him, watching him wash his hands, taking the opportunity to admire his long fingers. Once he finished and wiped his hands, she crossed her arms, "Besides, he’s Auntie’s attending physician; you should at least be polite to him."
