Chapter 449 Sweet Dates

Gui Qing didn't answer his question. She closed the door, put the flowers on the table, and strode towards him, pulling off the blanket that covered his arms.

Jiang Yuxu: "..."

Gui Qing: "Is it interesting to try to cover one's ears and steal the bell?"

Jiang Yuxu coughed and said, "I'm fine."

Gui Qing: "Oh, it's okay, then I'll take this thing apart for you."

As she spoke, she pretended to remove the plaster on his arm. Jiang Yuxu was so scared that he took two steps back.

Gui Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Isn't everything okay?"

Jiang Yuxu: "..."

He was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "I thought you were still mad at me."

Gui Qing: "So you want to die as an apology?"

Jiang Yuxu: "..."

If his feeling was correct, Gui Qing seemed to be too worried about him and couldn't help but blame him.

Jiang Yuxu didn't feel angry, but relieved. He remembered Fu Xijing's "guidance" yesterday, pursed his lips, and said, "The doctor said it's not serious and the fracture will heal quickly."

Gui Qing: "So you're still very proud?"

Jiang Yuxu: "...neither."

He looked into her eyes and said, "I just don't understand why you are so excited when I'm hurt."

"Are you worried about me?" He asked before she could speak.

Gui Qing: "What else?"

She was speechless about Jiang Yuxu's question. It was such an obvious thing, yet he was still asking - did the car accident damage his brain?

Jiang Yuxu choked and his brain was stuck for a few seconds.

He thought Gui Qing would not admit that the lines he had rehearsed in advance did not fit the current situation.

After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Yuxu finally squeezed out a question: "Why are you worried about me? Aren't you ignoring me?"

Gui Qing laughed angrily, raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead twice, "Did you bump into it?"

Jiang Yuxu: "No."

Gui Qing: "Why are you asking such stupid questions if you don't have any?"

Jiang Yuxu: "Then you are not angry anymore?"

Gui Qing: "My anger and worry about you are two different things. Don't confuse them. I won't stop being angry with you just because you're hurt, but I won't hope you die just because I'm angry with you."

Jiang Yuxu: "What do you mean?"

Gui Qing was speechless, "You really hit your brain."

Jiang Yuxu: "..."

"Besides your arm, where else are you injured?" Gui Qing didn't continue discussing this topic with him. She began to examine his body from head to toe. "Is the fracture serious? How long will it take to heal?"

"The rest of the wound is just abrasions, not painful." Jiang Yuxu answered her questions one by one. "Comminuted fracture of the humerus, about three months."

"You're amazing." Gui Qing looked at the thick gauze on his arm. "What about your work?"

It's not that she had to spoil the fun by talking about this, but because she knew Jiang Yuxu better. He was the kind of person who would never give up his work as long as he was still alive, so it was impossible to let him rest.

"I've asked Xu Yang to bring the documents and computer here. He'll be working in the hospital these days and will return to the law firm after he's discharged." Jiang Yuxu answered in an orderly manner.

Gui Qing was not surprised at all. See, the arrangements were indeed very clear.

She did not advise Jiang Yuxu to have a good rest. In terms of work, they were the same kind of people. It was impossible for her to completely give up her work even if she was sick. She should not advise others to do something that she herself could not do.

"Then how do you drive?" Gui Qing asked, "Did your family arrange a driver for you?"

Jiang Yuxu shook his head, "Xu Yang."

Gui Qing: "As your assistant, he also has to work as your part-time driver. He must be getting two salaries."

Jiang Yuxu: "Yes, he will be given a bonus from Yuhe."

Gui Qing: "Not bad, you're a conscientious boss."

Jiang Yuxu talked to Gui Qing for a while, and his eyes were drawn to the bouquet of flowers on the table at the door. He stared at it for a while, and his lips moved: "That, is it bought for me?"

Gui Qing nodded. "I ordered it from the flower shop downstairs from the law firm. You're a patient, so I can't come empty-handed."

Jiang Yuxu: "Thank you."

He coughed and said, "I thought about it the day before yesterday. In the past two years, I did a lot of inappropriate things to you. There may be various reasons, but the fact is that I hurt you."

"Just because you have an optimistic personality doesn't mean I can say such cruel things to you. I'm really sorry—I know there's no point in apologizing now, but..."

"That makes sense." Gui Qing continued, "At least I understand your attitude."

Jiang Yuxu: "What's your attitude?"

Gui Qing didn't answer the question. She just stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you think that because I seem to be indifferent to everything, even if you say something excessive, I won't take it to heart or even remember it?"

"...Yeah." Jiang Yuxu said, "But I don't think so now."

"You really don't know much about me." Gui Qing smiled and raised her hand to touch his chest. "Jiang Lu, to be honest, I'm a vindictive and childish person, so I remember all your previous scumbag behavior towards me."

Jiang Yuxu was silent for a while, "Then do you want to retaliate?"

Gui Qing raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How to retaliate?"

Jiang Yuxu: "Just like before, let's switch roles. Do to me everything I did to you."

"Pfft." Gui Qing suddenly laughed out loud after hearing what he said, "You wish."

Jiang Yuxu: "..."

Gui Qing: "Jiang Lu, I'm not a young girl without social experience. You're just foolish enough to jump into a hole you just dug."

"Who's really taking advantage of maintaining our previous relationship in order to get back at you?" Gui Qing said with a click of the tongue. "Lawyer Jiang, please don't try to show off your limited tactics and experience in front of me."

Jiang Yuxu almost couldn't catch his breath.

He looked at the smile on Gui Qing's face, and after holding it back for a long time, he asked, "Then can I still pursue you?"

Gui Qing: "You don't have to chase me. I didn't force you."

Jiang Yuxu: "Then will you be with me?"

Gui Qing: "I said no, are you still chasing me?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yuxu answered with almost no hesitation.

Gui Qing: "If that's the case, then why are you asking?"

Jiang Yuxu was suddenly enlightened, and he was fooled by her again.

He was a lawyer, and in court he was always the one setting traps for others and asking them questions that left them speechless, but this skill seemed to disappear automatically in front of Gui Qing.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Gui Qing looked at Jiang Yuxu's frustrated expression and rubbed his face.

Now that he's been slapped, it's time to give him some sweet treats. We can't keep bullying him.

Gui Qing said slowly with a serious expression, "I know why you ask me these questions. I can tell you that I am interested in you, but Jiang Lu, you should also know that liking each other doesn't mean we can be together forever. As you said, we have too many differences. I am lazy and don't want to change, nor do I have the energy to change the other person, so..."

"So I'm going to change." Jiang Yuxu took over her words, "I'll do it as soon as possible. Can you wait for me?"

"Of course." Gui Qing agreed readily, "After all, I haven't met anyone I like more yet."

Jiang Yuxu was very happy to hear the first half of the sentence, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression darkened again.

He was a little depressed: "Will you like someone else?"

Gui Qing smiled and pushed his glasses, jokingly saying, "You're full of resentment, Jiang Lu."
