Chapter 16: The Yandere Doctor's Little Cripple: Refuses His Kindness

Because she was given anesthesia, once the anesthesia took effect, Gu Shanshan felt no pain at all when the sharp scalpel cut her skin.

His body was immobilized, and a medical cover was placed over his abdomen, so he couldn't see the condition of his legs.

If Gong Ye hadn't picked up the scalpel at that moment, he would have forgotten that Gong Ye was a doctor.

Remembering Gong Ye's words about turning him into a specimen, Gu Shanshan felt a chill run through her body and was filled with fear.

He had already called him "husband," and Gong Ye's expression clearly improved after he did, and he became much more doting on him.

Gu Shanshan thought she was safe, never expecting things to turn out this way.

Gong Ye offered no explanation and simply carried him onto the operating table.

Without saying a word to him, they injected him with anesthesia and cut the skin on his foot with a knife.

Gu Shanshan felt wronged, but more than that, she felt panicked and scared.

No matter how scared he was, he eventually fell into a coma as the anesthesia took full effect, and eventually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Shanshan fell into a deep sleep, Gong Ye only glanced at her slightly, then immediately lowered his head, his hands moving swiftly and decisively.

Beside him lay many blood-stained strips of cloth and surgical instruments.

On this operating table, there were no other doctors or assistants besides him, because he didn't like anyone other than himself touching Gu Shanshan's body.

Especially after Gu Shanshan called him "husband," his possessiveness reached an unprecedented level.

......

Two hours later, it was all over.

After finishing the last stitch, Gong Ye quickly took off his surgical gown and mask, and finally removed his blood-stained gloves.

After doing all this, he walked up to Gu Shanshan, looked at the unconscious Gu Shanshan, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

This kiss was unlike any other; it was devoid of desire or predation, and instead radiated a unique warmth and deep affection.

"My glitter."

Gong Ye rubbed his lips against Gu Shanshan's rosy lips, murmuring her name.

After a long while, Gong Ye finally stood up, his face showing an unprecedentedly relaxed expression.

He bent down, carefully picked up Gu Shanshan's body, and carried him down.

The housekeeper was already waiting on the third floor. After seeing Gong Ye carrying Gu Shanshan down, he immediately opened the door to the master bedroom.

Gong Ye gently placed Gu Shanshan on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Gu Shanshan's face without ever looking away.

If Gu Shanshan were to open her eyes at this moment, she would see that Gong Ye's gaze was eerily gentle.

The butler wisely withdrew and quietly closed the door, so as not to disturb the two masters.

......

At ten o'clock the next morning, Gu Shanshan slowly opened his eyes. The room was empty, and he was all alone.

Gong Ye has disappeared.

As soon as I regained consciousness, and with the effects of the anesthesia already worn off, the pain in my lower body and legs immediately struck.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

His legs hadn't felt this intense pain in a long time. Gu Shanshan cried out in pain, cold sweat beading on her forehead, and gasped for breath several times.

The pain was so intense that he thought his legs had been cut off.

Gu Shanshan looked down at her legs in a panic. After lifting the blanket, she breathed a deep sigh of relief when she saw that her legs were still there.

His legs, especially his knees, were wrapped in thick gauze, and some blood was seeping through the gauze.

Moreover, a strong medicinal smell was emanating from his knees.

"What's wrong with me? What did Gong Ye do to me?"

Gu Shanshan muttered to herself in confusion.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully reduced the target's corruption level by another 50%. The target's corruption level has now been reduced by a total of 80%, leaving only 20%. Keep up the good work, host!]

The system's voice left Gu Shanshan somewhat bewildered.

[007, what exactly happened while I was unconscious? Why do my legs hurt so much and are wrapped up like this when I woke up?]

Most importantly, why did Gong Ye's "darkening" level suddenly decrease by 50%?

Could it be that Gong Ye has sadistic tendencies, and that his "darkening" level decreases after he abuses him?

The system can tell what Gu Shanshan is thinking and immediately explains.

[Host, you're overthinking it. You weren't abused. The target was simply to perform surgery on your legs.]

【Operation? 】

Gu Shanshan frowned. "What kind of surgery?"

[Of course, it's the surgery that will allow you to stand up normally again.]

The system's words shocked Gu Shanshan even more.

He never expected that Gong Ye would help him get back on his feet, and for a moment, he felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

The system hesitantly asked, "[007, Gong Ye... he wouldn't really like me, would he?]"

[And possibly, host.]

Gu Shanshan fell silent upon hearing this, feeling deeply guilty.

The reason he was so docile towards Gong Ye and kept trying to please and seduce her was simply to complete his mission.

Once the mission is completed, he'll just walk away.

Therefore, he kept reminding himself that he must not have any other thoughts about Gong Ye. So in his heart, Gong Ye was nothing but his target.

He would rather Gong Ye remain indifferent and heartless towards him.

That way, when he leaves, he will be at peace with himself, without any sense of guilt or remorse.

But now Gong Ye has changed his attitude towards him and has shown him kindness. Gu Shanshan doesn't want to accept it and doesn't want to waver.

Just as Gu Shanshan was lost in thought, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

Crack...

Hearing the sound, Gu Shanshan looked up towards the door and saw Gong Ye's tall figure standing there.

He was holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his hands.

Gu Shanshan opened her mouth stiffly, "Master..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gong Ye interrupted him.

"Don't call me 'master' except in bed. Use the old title you used before."

Gong Ye's tone carried an undeniable command.

He really liked the way Gu Shanshan called him "husband".

Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth and called out, "Husband."

"Good girl, Shanshan."

Gong Ye was very satisfied. He walked to Gu Shanshan's side, helped her up from the bed, and sat her in his lap.

He forcefully made Gu Shanshan lean on his shoulder and put his arm around her, holding a bowl of porridge in one hand and a spoon in the other.

Having followed Gong Ye for so long, this was the first time Gu Shanshan had been treated with such tenderness by him.

He was not used to it.

Her body was as stiff as a stone. "Honey, I can eat by myself."

He always felt that being fed by Gong Ye was a bit too intimate.

It's not suitable for the cold, calculating relationship between him and Gong Ye, where the pursuer and the pursued are the same person.

Gu Shanshan knew very well that she felt no emotion whatsoever when he called Gong Ye "husband".

"Don't move, let your husband feed you."

Gong Ye adapted to the role of husband very quickly. He scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to Gu Shanshan's lips.

"Good boy, open your mouth."

This was the first time he had cooked, and the first time he had ever fed someone with such genuine affection.

Gu Shanshan is special, special only to him.

Gu Shanshan pursed her lips, but finally opened her mouth and ate the spoonful of porridge.

The plain porridge had no flavor, which meant there wasn't enough salt in it.

The porridge was a bit thin, and the rice grains were somewhat undercooked.

It was clearly cooked by a novice who couldn't control the heat, which is why it wasn't cooked well.

Even if Gu Shanshan had no idea, she would know that the person who cooked this porridge was Gong Ye.

The person who was once cold and cruel to him and threatened to kill him many times is now cooking and cleaning for him. Gu Shanshan can't accept it.

They also couldn't adapt.

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Shanshan turned her head away when Gong Ye tried to feed her porridge again.

When Gong Ye saw Gu Shanshan's actions, his originally pleasant mood was instantly dampened.

It chilled him to the bone.

The voice was icy as it demanded, "What are you doing?"

He cooked the porridge himself and fed him by hand. Has Gu Shanshan grown too big for her britches? She's only been pampering him for a couple of days, and she already dares to go against him.

Gu Shanshan noticed that Gong Ye's expression had turned cold and cursed herself for being impulsive.

She quickly came up with a way to remedy the situation and looked up at Gong Ye innocently.

"Honey, there's no salt in this porridge, and the rice is still raw. It's so hard for me to eat."

Gu Shanshan sounded aggrieved, leaving Gong Ye with no room for criticism.

Gong Ye's expression stiffened, and he scooped up a spoonful and fed it to himself.

He was used to eating delicacies, but after eating the plain porridge, his face turned dark and he immediately vomited into the trash can.

He looked at Gu Shanshan with doting eyes, unaware of Gu Shanshan's true feelings.

"Sorry, baby, I'll go change it for you right away."

"Honey, I'm waiting for you."

Gu Shanshan's tone was affectionate and intimate, which made Gong Ye feel comfortable all over and he no longer doubted Gu Shanshan's resistance to him.

After Gong Ye kissed Gu Shanshan on the lips, he carried the white porridge out of the master bedroom.

As soon as I stepped outside, I irritably threw the bowl of congee into the trash can in the hallway.

His face was extremely gloomy, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

He couldn't even cook a bowl of porridge properly, and Gu Shanshan even disliked him.

Gong Ye felt somewhat relieved that Gu Shanshan didn't know he made the porridge, otherwise he would have lost face.

He coldly ordered the butler, "Go and fetch a few chefs; I want to learn how to cook."

He refused to believe that he couldn't cook the dishes Gu Shanshan liked.

"Yes, Mr. Gong."

The butler was about to leave when Gong Ye stopped him.

"Wait, go and bring Gu Mingyuan to me."

When Gong Ye said this, his face was gloomy, much like when he used to torture people, and the butler would be afraid and whisper a reminder.

“Mr. Gong, Young Master Shan Shan is still at home. If he were to witness you killing someone, he might be frightened.”
