Jealous

The Platinum Restaurant is located next to the company's clubhouse, which is frequented by wealthy people, so the supporting medical facilities are naturally excellent.

Gu Nan, familiar with the route, led Lu Yushi around the main gate, made two turns on the side path, passed through the back garden, and entered through the security door to reach the medical room.

Behind him, Wan Yi followed, grumbling, "This road was originally the safest. If you let him know, he'll definitely be implicated if there's a theft at the club in the future."

Lu Yushi scoffed but didn't reply. Gu Nan turned around with a complicated expression and said what he hadn't said: "Do you think he'd be short of a clubhouse like yours?"

Ten guild halls are not worth half of Lu Yushi's assets.

"Hey," Wan Yi choked for a moment, then muttered irritably, "He's lived the whole way, what's the difference between him and you taking those extra two steps through the main entrance?"

"Shut up." Gu Nan opened the heavy security door and gestured for Lu Yushi to go in first.

Despite being called a medical room, the entire building is more like a miniature hospital, with five floors, quietly bathed in sunlight. Except for the rooms storing medical equipment, which are completely enclosed, all the wards have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sun, and the corridors outside the wards are all lined with double-layered frosted glass. When the doors are closed, people outside cannot see into the rooms.

"The doctor will be here soon, let's go eat." Wan Yi pulled Gu Nan's arm and walked out.

Gu Nan followed him for a couple of steps, then turned back and asked, "Haven't you eaten?"

Her gaze fell on Lu Yushi's face, while Lu Yushi's gaze remained fixed on her wrist.

There, Wan Yi held on tightly.

She instinctively tried to pull away, but Wan Yi seemed oblivious. Instead of letting go, he turned his body and put his other hand on her shoulder.

"What are you looking at?" Wan Yi provocatively tilted his head in Gu Nan's direction and took a half step forward. From Lu Yushi's perspective, the two were almost pressed tightly together.

Gu Nan couldn't break free, so she went with him.

From the first time they met, Wan Yi leaned on her like he had no bones. When she was in a good mood, she let Wan Yi lean on her, but when she was in a bad mood, she would kick him away.

Their interactions were no different from usual, and he didn't see anything wrong with it. He gave Wan Yi an elbow strike and asked Lu Yushi, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you."

Wan Yi grabbed her arm and said loudly, "Can't you be a little gentler? Ugh, let's go."

"He..." Gu Nan turned around quickly when Lu Yushi finally spoke, "What?"

Does he not know that you are my girlfriend?

Lu Yushi spoke calmly, his voice flat, revealing no dissatisfaction or accusation. He looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

Wan Yi was the first to be shocked: "What!"

"You're so easily startled." Gu Nan kicked him away.

She felt there was no need to tell Wan Yi; she was too lazy to publicize something that was fake. Since Lu Yushi had asked, she said, "I haven't had time yet."

“I don’t like my girlfriend getting too close to other men.” Lu Yushi looked directly into her eyes. His calm face didn’t convey any sense of intimidation or pressure; it was more like he was simply stating his likes and dislikes, without interfering with her decision.

Gu Nan thought to herself, "If he's magnanimous, why would he bother to stop her for such a trivial matter? If he's petty, why would he only remind her not to get too close to Wan Yi, showing no controlling intent whatsoever? He seems even better at playing the field than I am." She gave a half-hearted "oh" and pushed away Wan Yi's arm that was deliberately reaching out to provoke Lu Yushi.

"Huh?" Wan Yi glared. "We met first, we've known each other for 10 years. What about you? Have you known her for more than 10 months? We haven't kissed or slept together... Ouch!" Wan Yi clutched his stomach, which had been punched, and bent over, feigning anger. "You're trying to murder me."

"Knock knock knock".

The doctor entered the room with his hands in his pockets, and upon seeing who was sitting on the sofa, he stumbled a few steps.

"Don't make a sound." Gu Nan led the doctor forward. "Let's take your temperature first."

39.8.

"Okay, how much...?" he suddenly raised his voice.

Wan Yi rolled his eyes: "Who's making such a fuss?"

Without waiting for a reply, Gu Nan incredulously picked up the forehead thermometer and rubbed the display screen back and forth with the pad of her thumb, but the numbers on it did not change at all.

No wonder he's acting so crazy; with a fever of 39.8 degrees Celsius, it would be strange if he didn't.

"Quickly...hurry up, bring down the fever."

"Why are you shivering?" Wan Yi pulled her over, annoyed. "Everyone gets a fever sometimes."

Gu Nan pursed her lips. The key point was that other people's fevers had nothing to do with her. The temperature was so low when it rained, and Lu Yushi's thin shirt was not warm enough. He accompanied her through the rain and walked halfway up the mountain road. After taking a shower with her at home, he was chased away by his aunt. It seemed that the rain had not completely stopped at that time.

Tragic, absolutely tragic.

The guilt churning inside him found an outlet: "Try saying another word of nonsense."

Seeing Gu Nan's change of expression, Wan Yi became much more obedient. He plopped down on the sofa near the door, crossed his arms in front of his chest, stared at the doctor's movements with a sullen face, his eyes flickered, then fixed on Gu Nan's face, before finally turning his head away angrily.

The doctor carefully instructed on medication: "Eat something first before taking the medicine to avoid irritating your stomach."

Gu Nan nodded, took the medicine from the doctor, and looked down at it several times to ease the awkwardness. Before Lu Yu could speak, she asked hesitantly, "Are you going to take it with us, or..."

"Together."

Wan Yi whispered: "You damn green tea."

Gu Nan quickly glanced at Lu Yushi's expression. Seeing that he looked fine, she guessed that he hadn't heard Wan Yi's mutterings and felt relieved.

Only then did he have time to gesture at Wan Yi, clenching his fist and narrowing his eyes dangerously.

Wan Yi spread his legs apart, placing his hands in front of his chest, one in front of the other: "You're going to fight me for him?"

Lu Yushi heard this clearly, and his questioning gaze lingered on her face for a long time. Gu Nan gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Wan Yi into eternal sleep.

Frustrated, I took out my phone and unblocked Wanyi from the blacklist.

I was seducing him to do things for me, it was just a fling. If he breaks up with me because of you, I'll kill you!

Wan Yi's eyes lit up: [Just playing along?]

What else? I like him?

You've never taken such good care of me.

[When you're about to burn to death, you'll definitely see me before you die.]

...

Despite being tricked, Wan Yi was in a great mood. He put away his phone, put his hands behind his back, and walked out with a refreshed expression: "Let's eat, let's eat."

Gu Nan: Die out.

After thinking for a moment, she deliberately took a step back to explain to Lu Yushi: "You know, he lost his father when he was young."

"..."

The two walked into the restaurant and passed by the food delivery robot. Three waiters came out with smiles on their faces. Their gazes froze for a few seconds on Lu Yushi's face. They exchanged glances and quickened their pace to leave.

The sound came from afar, low and faint, and was not very clear.

"Is that Young Master Lu?"

"No way, isn't our CEO Yi the one who hates him the most? How can these two eat in the same room?"

"Maybe the two of them shook hands and made up."

"That's impossible. President Yi said that he practiced boxing only to take down Young Master Lu."

"Won't they start fighting inside?"

"It's hard to say."

"No way, this room is already booked for tomorrow. If a fight breaks out, I'll have to explain to the guests that I need to change rooms."

"Guests? From the north of the city? Or..."

"It seems that Mr. Ji from the New Times wants to invite Mr. Wan over for dinner."

The sound faded into the distance, and the other waiter's reply could no longer be heard.

Gu Nan slowed her pace and turned around. The three waiters had already entered the elevator.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yushi turned around following her gaze, glancing at the closed elevator doors out of the corner of his eye.

"without."

Upon entering, his gaze swept across the table, and he silently rolled his eyes at Wan Yi.

He absolutely did it on purpose.

Five main courses were served. Two of her must-order dishes were truffle foie gras and crab tower with white sturgeon caviar. Wan Yi also added two more dishes: black hoof ham and melon and saffron stewed pigeon. The plate with three sea urchins in the middle was probably a new dish he mentioned. It looked beautiful and very appetizing.

The side dishes were arranged around the table, mostly raw seafood.

In this private room that can accommodate 10 people, there was a table full of dishes, but not a single one of them was edible for Lu Yushi.

When Wan Yi stared at Lu Yu, she suddenly realized, "Oh, right."

Gu Nan raised an eyebrow. "You're sensible."

Before he could finish taking a breath, Wan Yi's gaze fell on her.

"You said last time that the steamed egg with crab legs was a little overcooked, so I asked the chef to shorten it by half a minute. How about we try it again?"

...

“Here,” Wan Yi stood up and handed her a plate of roasted beef. “I specially asked the chef to add honey to it. I don’t understand your taste. I can’t eat beef mixed with honey.” Wan Yi complained, but her smile was bright. After saying a few words, she glanced at Lu Yushi out of the corner of her eye.

In short, I can't remember how many times I've scanned it.

Gu Nan ignored him, took out her phone, and slowly typed a question mark and sent it.

Wan Yi: [I'll test him for you. If he gets jealous, it means you've successfully seduced him.]

Lu Yushi: "Wan Yi...is that so?"

"Why call me Dad?" Wan Yi raised an eyebrow.

Gu Nan sighed, wondering if this was a test or a provocation.

"Have we had a grudge?" From the Wan family mansion to the private hospital at the Platinum Club, and then to this private room, about an hour and a half had passed before Lu Yushi finally asked why he had agreed to come here on a whim.

Wan Yi only owns one Platinum Jewelry, and he is far away in the North City, so he shouldn't be able to harm the local bullies in Xun City.

Wan Yi crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and lifted his chin at him: "Anyone who bullies Nan Bao deserves to die. You back then..."

"Crack!"

The crisp cracking sound successfully stopped Wan Yi from finishing his sentence.

Gu Nan expressionlessly smashed the plate, shards of porcelain scattering everywhere. Two beams of light focused on her simultaneously, and she said slowly, "Oh, my hand slipped."

Lu Yushi calmly withdrew his gaze: "Back then..."

Gu Nan immediately stood up, grabbed an Arctic sweet shrimp from the plate, and shoved it into Lu Yushi's mouth with lightning speed: "Haha, this shrimp... it really is a shrimp."

Wan Yi: "..."

Why is it that when Lu Yushi has a fever, it's Nanbao who's the one whose brain is damaged?

"Cough cough," Gu Nan belatedly realized what she had said, silently slapped herself, and leaned close to Lu Yushi, looking at him expectantly, "It's so sweet, you should try it."

She was guilty but also trying to please him; she thought she had covered it up perfectly.

Lu Yushi's dark eyes were deep, and the sweet shrimp at the corner of his mouth drooped down to his lips, moistening his dry lips. The bright pink and red of his lips overlapped. Gu Nan unconsciously licked his lips and swallowed.

Where did this "back then" come from? It was just a few words of grudges that she casually told Wan Yi, and it couldn't stand up to a face-to-face confrontation between the two.

I should have known better than to talk nonsense.

Soon, the cold raw shrimp in Lu Yushi's mouth warmed up in his mouth. He slowly finished the shrimp and didn't continue to ask about those things from back then that he didn't know.

Wan Yi completely believed Gu Nan's charade. Feeding someone with a high fever, whose fever was still unknown, raw shrimp with ice slush was something no one would do if they had even a little bit of affection for them.

Her tone was light and gloating, barely concealing her schadenfreude: "Be careful, don't feed your boyfriend to death."
