The next morning, Uncle Hai returned to the villa because he had something on. Yan Xi took on the task of helping Gu Shen wash up.
Gu Shen had been busy dealing with the Gu Electronics and Hotel, so he didn’t have time to take care of his hair. His fringe was so long that it almost blocked his sight.
When Yan Xi helped him wash face, his fringes got wet too.
“Your hair is wet.” Yan Xi washed her hands and took out a hair tie.
“Gu Shen, let me help you tie your fringe up. Otherwise, it’ll get wet later.”
Gu Shen resisted. He pursed his lips. “I’ll wash it myself.”
“But you’ll still get your fringe wet.” Yan Xi smiled. “It’ll be very troublesome if your hair gets wet. You’re a patient now, so everything has to be taken care of. And I’ll just tie it for a while. I promise no one will see it.”
“It’s alright.” Gu Shen tilted his head to avoid Yan Xi’s hand.
He did not want to get his hair tied up.
“No one will see it.” Seeing that Gu Shen was avoiding her, Yan Xi became even more enthusiastic. “Just the two of us.”
“No, stop it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xi immediately changed her expression. She pouted, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
“Gu Shen, you shout at me!”
Gu Shen was helpless. “I didn’t.” He just raised his voice a little.
“You did!” Yan Xi went on. “Yesterday, I helped you get the test results and even went to give cake and flowers to the medical staff. I even peeled an apple for you. But you shout at me!”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became. With a snort, she turned around and stopped talking.
“Fine.” Gu Shen sighed and compromised. “Is the door locked?”
“Don’t worry! I’ve already locked it. I promise no one will come in.”
Gu Shen nodded and looked up. He obediently let Yan Xi tie his fringe up.
“I knew you’d look handsome with your fringe up too.” Yan Xi said happily, “As expected of my husband!”
Gu Shen looked at the mirror and suddenly felt that the knot on his head was not so annoying.
Yan Xi helped Gu Shen wash his face, then wiped it dry with a washcloth. Then she hugged Gu Shen’s neck and kissed him on the cheek.
“My husband is the most handsome!”
Gu Shen’s ears turned red. He pulled off the hair tie and said flatly, “Just this once.”
After breakfast, Gu Shen started working.
Now, he was in control of the financial business of the Gu Group.
He had just finished handling a file when his phone rang.
It was from Old Master Gu.
Gu Shen’s eyes darkened. He picked up the phone and heard his voice immediately. “Where are you?”
“I’m in the hospital.” Gu Shen said respectfully, “Grandpa, what can I do for you?”
Old Master Gu paused. “Why are you in the hospital?”
“Regular injections. You don’t have to worry,” Gu Shen replied.
Gu Shen would head to the hospital every once in a while to inject medicines, so Gu Hai did not suspect anything.
“Your third uncle is currently in B City. Call and warn the media there to seal their month.”
“Yes.”
“By the way, there’s one more thing. I found out that you had nothing to do with what happened last time.” At this point, Old Master Gu pinched the space between his eyebrows.
He did not expect Gu Ling to be the one who leaked the news. His children really started to get out of hand.
“It’s fine.” Gu Shen said, “Grandpa, you’ve always taught me to prioritize the Gu family’s interests. I’ll remember what you said.”
“You did very well.”
Gu Shen then reported to him about his recent work. “The financial business is getting better recently. When Uncle comes back, he can take over immediately.”
Old Master Gu was stunned for a moment and could not believe it. “You’re willing to hand the financial business back to your uncle?”
��Yes, it belongs to Uncle.” Gu Shen smiled and said, “I’m just helping Uncle manage it for the time being.”
