Chapter 160 Generous Girlfriend VS Poor Boyfriend 16

On Saturday morning, Jiang Zhiyi got up early, which was unusual for her.

Gu Xingyuan was already busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron.

She hugged him from behind, rubbing her face against his clothes.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" he asked.

Jiang Zhiyi walked up to him again, put her arms around his neck, looked into his eyes, and said in a coquettish tone, "Because I don't want to be separated from you at all. Wherever you go, I will follow you. I can't be even a meter away from you."

Gu Xingyuan pinched her cheek and smiled, then kissed the corner of her mouth. "Then you wait for me over there."

Jiang Zhiyi watched him cook; his movements were very swift, clearly showing he was very experienced.

"When do you think we can get married? If it really doesn't work out, I'll just steal the household registration book from my parents' house and ignore all my dad's demands. Let's elope."

Gu Xingyuan hugged her again and said soothingly, "Let's not talk about these things for now. You have to listen to your father. I will try my best too."

Jiang Zhiyi nodded.

After a while, the two sat down at the dining table to eat.

Jiang Zhiyi was going through his phone. She didn't check it often these days, only occasionally when she remembered.

Gu Xingyuan looked at her face. Actually, nothing had happened to him, but he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't find fault and then start an argument with him.

This has always been the procedure, so he needs to be mentally prepared in advance.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyi's expression turned sour, and she threw her phone in front of him.

Gu Xingyuan picked up her phone and happened to find her WeChat chat history with Chen Feifei.

The news is from yesterday.

Chen Feifei: [Auntie hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet, right? Do you usually not live here? I've seen the blankets drying on your balcony for days. The weather forecast says it will rain heavily tomorrow, remember to go home and bring them in.]

Gu Xingyuan: [Okay, thanks for reminding me.]

"Auntie is in the hospital again, why didn't you tell me? You've been keeping this from me all this time?"

Gu Xingyuan paused for a moment, then said, "She has indeed been in the hospital these past few days. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."

"And who is this woman? You two seem to know each other quite well. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a family. You're cheating on me with someone else every day?"

"Of course not." Gu Xingyuan frowned; she had exaggerated.

What adultery? He won't admit to that crime.

He explained the whole thing to her.

Jiang Zhiyi: "So is there something you can't tell me? Or are you worried that my presence will disturb the three of you?"

“There were no three people. I didn’t know her at all, and I haven’t seen her since that time.”

"Your mouth is your own; you can say whatever you want," she said coldly.

Gu Xingyuan was thinking of a solution.

“Delete her now,” she said.

Gu Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, but still did as instructed. If he didn't delete it, it would only make her misunderstand more deeply.

"This is the last time." Jiang Zhiyi didn't look at him again.

The two continued eating, and after a while, Gu Xingyuan put some food into her bowl.

Jiang Zhiyi ate a couple of bites, then slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table. "I don't want to eat anymore."

She got up and left, sitting on the sofa in the living room, hugging a pillow, and picked up the remote to turn on the TV.

Gu Xingyuan quickly followed and said, "Don't be angry. There's really nothing between her and me. Don't overthink it."

"Don't bother me." Jiang Zhiyi said impatiently.

Gu Xingyuan could only coax her, saying, "Let's go to the hospital to see my mom together later?"

Jiang Zhiyi turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Gu Xingyuan leaned closer and whispered to her, "Wait until tonight... okay? I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Shut up!" Jiang Zhiyi glared at him.

She saw that his face and ears were red, and although he was clearly very embarrassed, he still said those things.

"Let's continue eating." Gu Xingyuan coughed a few times, acting as if nothing had happened. He glanced at the dining table and asked, "Shall I feed you?"

Jiang Zhiyi has not made any moves yet.

Gu Xingyuan moved the bowls and chopsticks over there to the coffee table, and then fed her.

After finishing their meal, they went directly to the hospital.

Inside the ward.

"Auntie, are you feeling better? I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to come see you."

Wang Hongling: "I'm much better. You don't need to come over if you're busy, so as not to delay your business."

“It won’t delay us…” Jiang Zhiyi talked with Wang Hongling for a long time.

"I'm going to the restroom," Jiang Zhiyi said.

A while later.

Wang Hongling asked, "Why did Zhizhi take so long? Did she forget her ward number and then get lost and come back?"

Gu Xingyuan: "I'll go out and take a look."

He opened the door and went out. In the corridor outside the ward, he saw Jiang Zhiyi talking to someone.

He walked closer and discovered that the man was Gu Conghui's secretary, who had been coming over almost every day these past few days.

"You..." He wanted to ask what the current situation was.

The secretary nodded to him. "I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Before he could react, the man strode away.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at Gu Xingyuan and spoke first: "Was that your father's secretary just now? He gave me a card and said it was given to us by your father."

She said in surprise, "That person said there are millions in this card, Gu Xingyuan, I didn't know your family was so rich."

Gu Xingyuan frowned, not expecting such a coincidence today.

"Zhizhi, we can't accept this."

"Why can't I have it?" she asked.

Gu Xingyuan: "My mother and I haven't contacted him for years and have severed ties, so we can't accept this money and we have to return it to him."

“Now we’ve reconnected, just like how my mom still sends me money every year even though my parents are divorced. What’s so unacceptable about that?” Jiang Zhiyi looked puzzled, her tone incredulous.

Gu Xingyuan didn't know how to explain it to her. Some things are not so easy to explain, and those hurts cannot be made up for with money.

If he accepts Gu Conghui's money today, it would be tantamount to accepting Gu Conghui's overtures. Even if he doesn't care, he has to consider Wang Hongling's feelings, and he won't back down unless Wang Hongling asks for it.

"I'll tell you slowly later. Give me the card first, okay?" Gu Xingyuan said.

“I won’t give it to you,” she refused.

"Listen to me." His tone was a bit harsher.

Jiang Zhiyi threw the card in his face and said, "Fine, don't take it. I won't take anything related to you anymore. Gu Xingyuan, have you never even considered marrying me?"

Gu Xingyuan frowned: "It's not what you think."

"But we're really short of money. With this money, we can get married sooner. Do you really want me to live like this, just hanging around with you for the rest of my life?"

"I..." Gu Xingyuan kept comforting her.

Wang Hongling stood not far away, quietly listening to their conversation.
