Chapter 145   Is This Prison Role-Play? magic

“That’s not what I mean.” Yan Xi frowned and wanted to explain. “I know you’re worried about me, but…”

However, what else could she say? She couldn’t possibly tell him that she did the acupuncture herself and that she knew very well about acupuncture.

Yan Xi sighed and her tone softened. “Gu Shen, I know I was wrong. I won’t do this again. Can you…” She bit her lip and looked tearful.” Don’t blame me anymore.”

She was pleading and afraid.

Looking at her almond-shaped eyes, the anger in Gu Shen’s heart was extinguished again.

Gu Shen let go of Yan Xi and put down her rolled up pants to cover the scary sight. His movements were very light, as if he was protecting some fragile porcelain.

After a long silence, he said again, “Yan Xi, my legs can’t walk, but yours can, so protect them.”

His heart ached everytime she looked at the scars and red dots on her legs.

“Promise me, okay?”

Yan Xi nodded, looking much more obedient. “I understand. Next time, I won’t let myself get injured again.”

“You’d better be.” Gu Shen’s tone changed to one that was filled with threat. “If you get injured again, then stay at home and don’t go anywhere. I’ll lock you up with a chain.”

xdYan Xi nodded, then looked up excitedly. “Is this a prison role-play?”

After the dispute ended, Yan Xi stayed in Gu Shen’s room. Remember the book Gu Shen gave her, she asked casually, “How on earth did you get that book?”

“I got someone to print it.”

“Is that okay?”

No, strictly speaking, but for Yan Xi, he used his overseas connections.

“Thank you for the gift. I really like it!” Yan Xi leaned over and kissed Gu Shen on the cheek. “Hubby, you’re the best.”

“It’s good that you like it.” Gu Shen smiled and returned to his usual calm self. “I know many friends, so I can help you get whatever you want.”

“Okay.” After praising him, Yan Xi asked excitedly, “Gu Shen, what other surprises do you have in store for me that I don’t know?”

She remembered that the book mentioned that Gu Shen graduated from Ivy University and had a dual degree in finance and electronic information technology. He was, in a word, excellent in every aspect.

“You want to know?”

Yan Xi nodded vigorously.

“I’ll tell you in the future.” Gu Shen smiled at her. “That way, I can keep you hooked.”

“You badass!”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. “Don’t be naughty next time if you want surprises.”

Yan Xi mumbled, pouting, “I’m not being naughty.”

Gu Shen chuckled, and pinched her face, “Naughty girl.”

A while later Yan Xi suddenly asked, “What do you think of me?”

Gu Shen hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer that question.

Yan Xi widened her eyes and pointed at Gu Shen. “You think I’m a foodie, don’t you?”

Gu Shen smiled. “What’s wrong with being a foodie?”

“No, I’m not. I’m actually very good at something!” Yan Xi retorted. In her original world, she was called a genius doctor.

Gu Shen looked at her with a deep gaze.

He had always known that Yan Xi was smart and was quick on the uptake. If she wasn’t smart, he wouldn’t have fallen in love with her.

However, Yan Xi seemed to have suddenly become smarter. This was a change that he had not expected.
