However, no matter what Xiao Xu said, Assistant Lu was on high alert and refused to let her in. What a joke! She disturbed the world of the boss and his sweetheart. Would he still want his salary?
Is he the boss's lackey?
No, he was defending his salary!
The only happiness for workers!
Gu Xiao obviously knew the abilities of his subordinates. He stood at the end of the bed with his arms folded, his eyes and eyebrows slightly raised, looking at Lan Shuang with a hint of pride: "Don't worry, except for doctors and nurses, no one will come to disturb us casually."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She lowered her eyes to look at her plastered ankle, then thought about 888 who had already left. This scene looked very bad for her no matter how she looked at it.
"In this situation, should I shout, 'Don't come over here?'"
Lan Shuang looked at Gu Xiao warily.
Gu Xiao: “…”
He couldn't help but let out a low laugh, instantly breaking his pretentious bully image. "Then don't move, I won't come over."
He sat down on the chair beside the bed, his eyes gradually calming down. "You're looking for your phone and Xiao Xu. Are you trying to contact the company?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "I'm in the hospital. My agent should at least be informed to avoid a stir online."
"Don't worry, I've dealt with all of this immediately, and I've also had people monitor public opinion online. There's no problem for now."
Gu Xiao took out his cell phone and took a look.
Lan Shuang: "Ah? When did you..."
"I did it right after I brought you to the hospital."
Seeing that there was no important news, Gu Xiao put his phone aside on the table.
"You don't have to worry about anything now. I've taken care of everything for you. You just need to focus on recovering from your injuries."
Lan Shuang thought for a moment and said softly, "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite with me." Gu Xiao fell silent, and his sharp eyes just stared at her steadily. He didn't know how long he looked at her. Then his eyes slightly curved, and suddenly they lit up, like a lake covered with broken stars, sparkling with light when the wind blew.
"It just so happens that we are both free now, can we talk about what happened before?"
Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"
Gu Xiao leaned forward slightly, "Playing dumb? How about I help you recall it again?"
His gaze, as if it were real, slid up along Lan Shuang's hand little by little, and finally landed on her lips. He did not move for a long time, as if he could see a flower there.
Lan Shuang: “…”
She felt a little itchy for some reason and couldn't help but pursing her lips. She saw Gu Xiao's lips slightly raised with a somewhat ambiguous smile.
"Got it, don't look at it anymore."
Lan Shuang pressed her brow helplessly, "So you've figured it out?"
"Yeah, I figured it out." Gu Xiao straightened his face, "To be honest, I've always been pursued and flattered by others since I was a child. I've never actively pursued anyone, nor have I ever dated anyone. I either found them boring or felt they were not worthy of me."
What a arrogant tone, worthy of Gu Xiao's words.
Lan Shuang listened with a calm expression.
"Even when I saw people around me falling head over heels in love, I was very dismissive and felt more and more that it was stupid, until I met you." Gu Xiao paused, frowning slightly, as if he was a little awkward and shy.
Such an expression appeared on the old man's face, which had a somewhat terrifying effect. If Huo Youqian was present, he would have screamed that the roof would collapse!
Lan Shuang wasn't that upset, but she looked at it several times with some curiosity.
"Maybe love is like one thing conquering another. It sounds cliché, but... I really do like you. My heartbeat and my instinctive reactions can't deceive anyone, especially myself."
Gu Xiao stood up and walked to the bedside. He held Lan Shuang's hand that was hanging by the bed, slowly bent down and knelt on one knee, his eyes just level with Lan Shuang's.
The impeccable handsome features were right in front of her. Lan Shuang looked at him for a moment, and her heart began to beat faster.
"This is the conclusion I've come to after thinking over and over again for so many days."
"Our meeting was a collision of arrogance and prejudice, but fortunately, we met, and that's how the rest of the story happened. I like you, and I want to get to know you better and protect you. I wonder if you're willing to give me this chance, can you let me like you for a bit?"
Gu Xiao asked very seriously, and after asking, he gave her a warm kiss on the back of her hand.
Lan Shuang's fingertips curled up and she wanted to shrink back reflexively, but Gu Xiao held on tightly, not giving her a chance to retreat.
"It's okay if you haven't made up your mind now. Let me pursue you. When you feel ready, you can promise me."
Gu Xiao retreated to advance and looked at her eagerly.
Lan Shuang didn't think too long. She took his hand in hers and brought it to her lips, pecking it. "Stamp, temporary boyfriend."
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise, "You agreed?"
"Yes." Lan Shuang said frankly, "It's just a temporary position. Just treat it as a trial. You will be made a regular employee after the trial."
"Why is it a trial?" Gu Xiao was happy but also a little subtly unhappy.
Lan Shuang smiled slyly: "Because this is the punishment for prejudice."
She told you to be so rude before, and if you don't make it up to her, she won't be the vengeful Lan Shuang!
Gu Xiao: “…”
"oh."
He sat down obediently beside the bed and couldn't help but stare at Lan Shuang. As he looked, he began to laugh inexplicably.
Lan Shuang was helpless after being looked at, "This hospital has a psychiatric department, right? Why don't you go and take a look? Since we are here now."
"Ahem, nothing." Gu Xiao put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. He calmed down for a moment, turned around and picked up his phone. Just as he was about to check the message, Lan Shuang suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, can you call my sister for me?"
