Xiaolan replied, “President Gu is resting in the room. Do you want me to call him?”


  “No, it’s all right.” Yan Xi quickly rejected it. “Let him rest.”


  Yan Xi was too embarrassed to face Gu Shen. She could still feel his burning lips sucking on hers.

  “Madam.” Xiaolan noticed. “Why are your lips swollen?”


  “Oh, that. It’s fine, it’s just…” Yan Xi said matter-of-factly,” A mosquito bite.”


  “Are there still mosquitoes now? Why didn’t they visit me last night? I’ll get people to install some mosquito repellent lamps.” Yan Xi chuckled. “Okay.”


  Because they had to install mosquito repellent lamps, the courtyard gradually became noisy Gu Shen pulled open the curtain and looked down.

  At the same time, Uncle Hai came in. Gu Shen asked, “What is all this noise about?”


  “They’re installing mosquito repellent lamps. Madam’s lip was bitten by a mosquito and is now swollen.” Uncle Hai put down the water in his hand. “But it’s strange. Why didn’t I get any mosquitos at my place?”


  Little did Uncle Hai know that the biggest mosquito was actually sitting in front of him.

  Gu Shen cleared his throat and concealed the smile on his lips.

  “I see. When you go down, ask Xiaolan to send Yan Xi a glass of milk and ask her to rest early.” “Okay.”


  Yan Xi slept too much in the afternoon, so she could only fall asleep early in the morning. However, at 8 in the morning, she suddenly woke up.

  She took the elevator down. She thought that Gu Shen had already gone to the office, but she did not expect him to be sitting downstairs eating. When Gu Shen heard the movement, he looked at Yan Xi and made her freeze on the spot.

  “Morning.” She braced herself and walked over. Blushing, she greeted him.

  “Mm.” Gu Shen peeled an egg and placed it on the plate, then handed it to Yan Xi. “Come and

  eat.”


  “Why is the breakfast so bland?” Yan Xi looked at the boiled egg and pumpkin porridge on the table.

  “The kitchen will prepare prawns for lunch.”


  Yan Xi’s eyes lit up, but before she could say anything, Gu Shen continued, “But you can’t eat that. The kitchen will specially make you boiled vegetables.”


  “No!”


  Gu Shen looked at her and said ruthlessly, “Then continue eating the porridge.”


  “Is there no room for negotiation?” Yan Xi looked at him pitifully. “Actually, I can eat chicken too.”


  “No.”


  “Then I’ll choose boiled vegetables.” Yan Xi sighed and said aggrievedly. Compared to porridge, boiled vegetables were at least a little chewy.

  “Before the wound is healed, your food will be light. Don’t think about secretly eating something else.”


  “Am I that kind of person!”


  “Aren’t you?” Gu Shen smiled. “I’ll let Xiaolan keep an eye on you.” Yan Xi instantly became listless. She looked at Gu Shen and protested with silence.

  Gu Shen looked at her and suddenly said, “Do you want me to help you buy a car? It’ll be more convenient for you to go out. These are the new cars that just came out. See if you like

  it.”


  With that, he handed the car magazine to Yan Xi.

  Why was he giving her a car? Was he testing her?

  Yan Xi thought for a while before saying, “No need. I’ve got a chauffeur who can take me whenever I want.”


  “The chauffeur will occasionally be busy. I’ll buy you a car, just in case.” Then his lips curled up. “Besides, your driving skills should be better than the chauffeur’s.”


  She knew that this man was up to no good.

  “It was a fight or flight situation, I had to do something. In terms of stability, I’m definitely not as good as the chauffeur.”


  “Then I’ll get you one more chauffeur.”


  “That’s not necessary…”


  Gu Shen did not speak and just looked at her quietly.

  Yan Xi gave in and said, “You can pick one for me. I don’t know anything about cars.”


  Gu Shen narrowed his eyes. “Okay.”


  “How about this one?” He pointed at the black car on the cover of the magazine. It was a limited edition and cost 30 million.

  “No need!” Yan Xi thought that Gu Shen would help her choose one that cost much less, but it turned out to be 30 million. “I don’t need an expensive car. Car costing a few thousand will do just fine.”


  Gu Shen did not expect Yan Xi to reject it. He was silent for a moment before saying, “A few thousand, that’s the chauffeur’s monthly salary.”


  “Let’s settle on that one just now.” He did not give Yan Xi a chance to refute. “Gu Er, get the car this afternoon.”


  “Yes.”
