A week later, on the second floor of the luxurious music restaurant, Fu Xing and Yan Xi met alone.

  Fu Xing said, “I’ve already told you, there’s no update. If the Quantum Lab does come up with anything, I’ll be sure to let you know.”


  In the past week, Yan Xi asked him about the progress of the research on the parallel universe almost every day.

  He knew she was interested in this, but her interest in it wouldn’t help the research progress, would it?”


  If Gu Shen knew about them metting pretty much everyday, he would kill him.

  Yan Xi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

  “The thought that there might be a parallel universe makes me excited.”


  For her, no progress was the best progress.

  Fu Xing leaned forward and suddenly looked at her seriously.

  “Be honest with me. Do you have a secret?”


  Yan Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

  ‘Does he know something?’


  “What secret can I have?” Yan Xi smiled awkwardly.

  “I’m joking. Anyway, as I said before, I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything. Are you relieved?”


  “Okay, thank you!” Yan Xi stood up. “Gu Shen still has something to tell me. I’ll leave first. You can eat by yourself.”


  Then she left in a hurry.

  …


  At Gu Corporation’s office.

  “Gu Shen!”


  Yan Xi walked into the office with a smile and came to Gu Shen. She wanted to hug him, but he dodged her with a cold face.

  “We are in the office. Behave yourself!”


  Yan Xi was stunned. He never minded having intimate interaction with her in the office before.

  Puzzled, she asked, “Gu Shen, what’s wrong?”


  Gu Shen looked up with dark eyes and tapped the table lightly.

  “You’ve been sending messages to Fu Xing for the past week. You even met him just now, right?”


  Was he jealous? Yan Xi’s lips curled up. She moved closer to Gu Shen and grabbed the corner of his shirt.

  “I knew you’d ask me that!”


  Yan Xi squatted down and held his hand. Her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

  “I only went to see Fu Xing to ask him about the parallel universe his laboratory is researching.”


  “Are you very concerned about that?”


  “Of course I am. Don’t you want to know if there’s a parallel universe?”


  Gu Shen shook his head. “As long as I have you, it doesn’t matter which universe I am in.”


  She was his universe.

  Yan Xi smiled and kissed him on the lips.

  “Same here.”


  She was really muddle-headed. Instead of paying attention to something that had yet to be discovered, she might as well cherish the person in front of her!

  …


  In the blink of an eye, it was time for Gu Shen’s surgery. Yan Xi told Zhou Xu in advance to help her hide the fact that she was the chief surgeon.

  Zhou Xu naturally had no objections. He was just afraid that Yan Xi would give herself too much pressure. After all, this surgery was more difficult than they had imagined.

  Yan Xi was very determined. As long as she could make Gu Shen stand up, it was worth the risk.

  The day before the surgery, Yan Xi finished her work in the company. The next day was the day of the surgery for Gu Shen. She wanted to get off work early and rest well so that she could have enough energy to operate on him.

  However, just as she was about to send a message to Gu Shen and leave, she suddenly received an unknown message.

  “If you don’t want Gu Shen to die tomorrow, come to this place.”


  At the end of the message, there was an address.

  Yan Xi recognized that location. It was an abandoned seafood factory.

  It was obvious that the one who sent the message was up to no good.

  Yan Xi ignored it and deleted it. Unexpectedly, the person did not give up. He sent another one.

  “Do you want Gu Shen to die on the operating table?”


  Of course, Yan Xi did not.

  However, the person clearly knew about Gu Shen’s surgery. Since he wanted her to go over so much and it concerned Gu Shen’s life and death, she had to go and take a look.

  Yan Xi put away her phone. She didn’t inform Gu Shen to make him worry about her because he had to undergo surgery tomorrow.
