Chapter 20  : Getting To Know My Husband

“No way. Since you’ve paid, I have to be responsible until the end.” Yan Xi stood up and blinked at Gu Shen. “That was just a quick demonstration. If you want to enjoy the full service, remember to come to my room.”

“I don’t need that…”

Yan Xi stopped him. “Then I’ll go to your room to look for you.”

Without giving Gu Shen a chance to retort, she took her credit card and left the study room in a good mood.

When she reached downstairs, Yan Xi happened to bump into Gu Yan. This person was Gu Shen’s bodyguard and was responsible for taking care of his daily life. He probably went out to handle some matters a few days ago and only returned to the Gu family yesterday.

“Uncle Yan.”

Gu Yan stopped and bowed respectfully.

“Madam, what can I do for you?”

“I want to know how his leg is right now.” Yan Xi’s expression was sincere and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. “Can you show me the hospital’s diagnosis?”

Gu Yan looked wary and did not answer Yan Xi.

Yan Xi still had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she was scolding the Host.

Everyone looked at her with vigilant and guarded expressions. Even Gu Shen could not open himself to her.

If she was given another chance, she would definitely shout in the Host’s ear, “If you don’t court death, you won’t die!”

Yan Xi spoke again, “Uncle Yan, I just want to understand his situation more and take good care of him.” She said seriously and sincerely, “I know that I’ve done a lot of foolish things in the past. I’ll correct all of these and never repeat them again.”

Uncle Yan stared at Yan Xi and realized that her eyes were filled with sincerity and determination, looking not scheming at all.

If she could really change, Gu Shen might be less worried.

“Mr. Gu hates people who go back on their words the most. You must do what you say.”

Yan Xi smiled. “Don’t worry!”

…

Gu Shen’s father was the second son of the Gu family.

Back then, the romantic story between him and Gu Shen’s mother was a much-told tale. In order to marry Gu Shen’s mother, he broke off the engagement his family arranged for him and gave up the right to inherit the Gu family, and even left the Gu family for her.

The love between the two was deep, and soon Gu Shen was born.

They were supposed to live an ordinary and happy life, but when Gu Shen was eight years old, their family of three got into a car accident.

In order to protect him, his parents passed away. Gu Shen also lost his legs because of this car accident.

Uncle Yan took out a stack of documents. “The diagnosis and post-recovery records are here.”

He looked at Yan Xi and could not help but say a few more words. “President Gu has been tormented all these years. Since his parents passed away, he has been receiving psychological counseling. If not for his willpower being stronger than others, he would have collapsed long ago.”

The earliest diagnosis was when Gu Shen was eight years old. The emotionless and professional words written on it determined the rest of Gu Shen’s life.

The car accident caused nerve damage and caused paralysis.

The medical standard of this world was not as good as the world she was in before. It seemed like it was impossible for Gu Shen to regain his mobility.

It would be great if Zheng Ming, that old man, was here. A few years ago, he tackled this problem with the Neurosurgery Department, and there were already some successful cases.

If she knew this would happen, she should have joined the neurosurgeon’s medical team a few years ago.

Yan Xi continued to read. Looking at the rows of words on it, she felt a little uncomfortable. It was impossible to gauge the level of pain Gu Shen went through by just looking at these words.

At the age of eight, he suffered the most excruciating pain in the world, the kind of which would render everyone hopeless.
