Is there absolutely no trust between us?

Gu Nianci's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

Looking at her, I just found her words somewhat amusing.

trust?

What is trust? Trust is built on the premise that neither person deceives the other and that they are genuinely willing to make sacrifices for each other. And what about me and Gu Nianci?

She no longer deserves my trust.

"Gu Nianci, don't you think it's ridiculous that you're asking me this?"

I said it expressionlessly.

Is it ridiculous?

Gu Nianci and I met eyes. I looked away; I didn't want to see her eyes. She was so proud, yet at this moment she was looking at me with such a pitiful expression. I felt disgusted.

You don't need to look at me like that.

"You're just making me think you're sick."

"I understand..." Gu Nianci smiled upon hearing this, her expression returning to the familiar cold arrogance, as if the change just now was merely a temporary performance.

Then she added, "This time I'm not lying to you."

She checked the time. "They should be here soon."

"But I'm still a little curious. As far as I know, you haven't known that girl named Yan Yin for very long. Why are you so concerned about her?"

"You like her?"

"What does this have to do with you?" I didn't look at Gu Nianci, but her words gave me a strange feeling... as if she felt guilty?

Or perhaps they don't know how to answer.

What exactly are my feelings for Yan Yin?

I asked myself that question.

Indeed, I rarely care about someone this much. The last one was the woman standing next to me now, not even Song Qingrong.

Just as I was lost in thought, a car stopped in front of us. I snapped out of it and, at the same time, attributed the problem in my mind to my sympathy for Yan Yin. After composing myself, I looked at the person in the car.

She was a young woman who looked to be around thirty years old.

Dressed in standard business attire and with neat long hair, she looked somewhat similar to Lin Qingxue; at least in terms of temperament, they should be of the same type.

She got out of the car, and Gu Nianci went up to her immediately. I quickly followed.

"Dr. Xu."

Gu Nianci greeted me with a smile, and at the same time introduced me, "Dr. Xu, this is my... my friend Xu Ruo."

"Xu Ruo, this is Dr. Xu Wei, a renowned cancer expert both domestically and internationally."

"Don't let Dr. Xu's young age fool you; few can match her achievements in cancer research."

Xu Wei smiled slightly and said, "Miss Gu, there's no need for such polite words."

"My time is limited. Please take me to see the patient first."

Hearing this, some of my doubts disappeared. This Xu Wei was indeed too young; she looked to be around thirty years old, which made it impossible for me to associate her with the word "expert."

Since she was so decisive, I didn't hesitate any longer and said, "She can't come right now, but I brought some of her films and medical records."

"Dr. Xu can take a look first..."

Before coming here, I made a special trip back to the coffin shop and brought these things out with me.

Yan Yin doesn't usually want to look at these things because they scare her. But I also know that when no one is around, she will look at them anyway, praying that it was all just a mistake.

"Okay!" Fortunately, Xu Wei didn't mind and took my things directly before walking into the hotel.

I quickly followed her, and seeing her decisive and efficient manner, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Gu Nianci seemed to sense my change in mood. As she walked beside me, she said as if to confirm, "It seems you really have fallen in love with that girl."

"Good luck……"
