After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 110

I looked at the approaching man, a hint of surprise flashing in my eyes. I took a step back, but the man was quick-witted and grabbed my shoulder, his voice icy: "Don't move."

Gu Jinhuai frowned deeply when he saw me soaking wet and looking pitiful, and the murderous aura emanating from me intensified.

"go home."

Gu Jinhuai pursed his lips into a straight line, his dark eyes fixed on me, and his voice hoarse as he uttered two words.

go home……

How long has it been since I last heard those two words? This is the first time I've heard Gu Jinhuai say them. My nose stung with tears, and I forced back the bitterness in my heart. I sniffed and was pulled into the car by him.

As I turned around, I saw the bright red bloodstains seeping through his white shirt, and my pupils contracted.

I know how important Mino is to Gu Jinhuai, but it's not in the car.

In the past, Mino was more important than anyone else. Gu Jinhuai would be extremely anxious if it suffered even the slightest injury.

I looked at his profile, which was flickering between light and shadow, and asked softly, pursing my lips, "How is Mino?"

"At the hospital, I'll take you home to rest first."

Gu Jinhuai glanced back at me while driving, and seeing my pale face, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and after a long while said, "Take care of yourself first from now on."

A hint of suspicion flashed across my eyes. Was this an attempt to distance myself from me and tell me to mind my own business, or did it mean something else?

I didn't understand. Gu Jinhuai looked at me and continued, "Go back and change your clothes first, then get a good night's sleep. I'll handle the rest."

Mino's matter had nothing to do with me in the first place, and I couldn't help but feel fortunate that I didn't go out with Song Yuan, otherwise Mino's matter would have fallen on my shoulders again.

My gaze fell on his back again. I knew Madam Gu's methods. How could such a strong woman tolerate her excellent son marrying a powerless woman?

Thinking about all this, I hesitated all the way, and just as I was about to speak, the car came to a smooth stop.

"Alright, let's go up now."

While I was still in a daze, Gu Jinhuai reached out and ruffled my hair, his tone full of affection.

I pursed my lips and subconsciously turned my head away. The air froze, and Gu Jinhuai withdrew his hand that had been hanging in mid-air.

Thank you for today.

After I finished speaking, I pushed open the door and got out of the car. But as soon as I thought about my clothes, the man scolded me, "Don't take them off. Go back and rest."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he started the car and drove away. It wasn't until I went upstairs that Gu Jinhuai's black sedan returned. He didn't drive away until he saw the apartment lights were on.

In the dim light, his facial expression was not visible.

I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower when I got back to my apartment, but I still sneezed halfway through. To prevent catching a cold, I quickly made some ginger soup to keep warm.

Thinking of Gu Jinhuai's back injury, I frowned, but the frown quickly disappeared.

Anyway, it's none of my business. He's a chosen one, so naturally there are plenty of people who care about him. What am I to him?

I gave a bitter smile, drank the ginger soup, and went to sleep.

Even so, I still fell ill the next day. This was also related to my childhood. When I was a child, my father would kick me and Zhao Fang out whenever he got angry.

Even when it was snowing heavily, it was no exception. I think it's a miracle that I'm still alive and haven't been tortured to death.

The next day, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a figure standing in front of me—it was Xie Qin.

I was slightly surprised, but before I could speak, his eyes were filled with threat and warning: "Zhou Nanzhi, stay away from Gu Jinhuai. He is not suitable for you."

I didn't answer for a while. Xie Qin frowned and urged, "Did you hear me?"

I crossed my arms and glared at him. I hate being threatened, especially since this person was Xie Qin, Gu Jinhuai's good brother.

"None of your business. Why are you, a man, acting like a mother hen, meddling in everything? Do you like Song Yuan too?"

I leaned against the door and looked him up and down. I felt he was strange when we first met, and I still feel he's a bit strange now.

Among the boys, he was considered short; he wasn't very tall and gave off a thin and frail impression.

However, society is very inclusive now, and there are all kinds of people.

"Nonsense, who likes that green tea bitch?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qin immediately retorted, his tone tinged with annoyance.

I didn't miss the disgust and loathing in his eyes, which was even stronger than when he looked at me.

"So men can spot a green tea bitch too."

I murmured to myself, "Some people are willing to watch, while others are not, choosing to believe unconditionally."

I gave a bitter smile. Xie Qin, who was standing next to me, realized that the topic had been steered off course and glared at me in annoyance. She said irritably, "Don't change the subject. We're talking about you and Gu Jinhuai. He's rich and powerful, and he can have any kind of woman he wants. There are plenty of ordinary college students like you. So you should give up as soon as possible. He's just playing around. Even if he really likes you, Aunt Gu won't give in."

I listened to him keep trying to break things up, without any other expression, just feeling a little strange, but I didn't think much of it at the time.

"I have received your message. Please do not disturb my life now."

My tone was indifferent, and my face was expressionless, but it infuriated Xie Qin.

"Why aren't you reacting at all? I'm telling you to leave Gu Jinhuai."

I listened to the astonishment in his voice, rubbed my temples in annoyance, and thought to myself, what's wrong with this world? Everyone can't live without Gu Jinhuai?

"I heard you. Now please leave my house."

My voice was slightly nasal and weak. I leaned lazily against the door, a hint of annoyance flashing between my brows.

"you are sick?"

Xie Qin thought about what happened at the banquet last night, and subconsciously reached out to touch my forehead, exclaiming, "It's so hot! If you don't go to the hospital soon, you'll burn yourself out!"

Looking at his exaggerated expression, I rolled my eyes and retorted, "If you hadn't been blocking the door, I would have been at the hospital by now."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qin scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Then, in order not to delay you, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Without saying a word, Xie Qin grabbed me and rushed out the door.

"Hey……"

Without giving me a chance to argue, he shoved me into the car.

I felt completely weak and eventually fell asleep in the passenger seat. Before I lost consciousness, I heard Xie Qin muttering, "Don't pass out in my car, or my brother won't forgive me."

"How unlucky I am to have run into someone like you."

I frowned unhappily, closed my eyes, and said in a hoarse, slightly nasal voice, "If you hadn't delayed me, I wouldn't have hitched a ride with you to the hospital. Stop talking nonsense and drive."

"The fact that he can still speak proves that his illness is quite serious."

Xie Qin kept chattering away, giving me a headache. I knew he was trying to talk to me, but I just felt so tired, surrounded by noise.

Finally, he impatiently muttered, "You talk like a crow, can't you shut up?"

"You're the crow! How could someone as handsome as me be a crow? Shut your stinking mouth."

In an instant, Xie Qin was like a cat that had exploded, unleashing a torrent of attacks.

I smiled but didn't say anything. I just felt my head getting bigger and bigger, and I felt completely dizzy.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a clean white ceiling, and the air was thick with the smell of medicine.

Just as I was about to sit up, a deep voice immediately came: "Don't move, you're still on an IV drip."

"Xie Qin?"

I uttered two words softly in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, I felt the man's scalding palm on my right wrist, but the surrounding temperature changed noticeably.

I looked down and realized that the person guarding me was not Xie Qin, but Gu Jinhuai.

The man's deep eyes swept over me, sending chills down my spine. A flicker of surprise crossed my eyes. My memory was still stuck on the way Xie Qin took me to the hospital, and I subconsciously assumed it was him.

"Are you very familiar with Xie Qin?"

Hearing the man's question, a hint of embarrassment crossed my face, and I shook my head, replying, "Not familiar."

"We're not even that close, yet you're calling me so affectionately, Zhou Nanzhi. How come I've noticed that you can chat with anyone you meet?"

As I listened to his sarcastic remarks, I had a strange feeling.

However, after being together for so long, when he calls me by my full name, it means he's angry; when he calls me by my nickname, it means he's teasing me; and as for the title "Madam," it's purely for show.

"Of course, everyone loves me."

I retorted sarcastically.

I waited for Gu Jinhuai to continue, but after a long while, the man remained silent. I glanced over and found him staring intently at me with a serious expression.

Suddenly, he leaned in close, so close that he could see the tiny pores on my face.

"Zhou Nanzhi".

"Ok?"

I stood frozen, not daring to move, wondering what crazy thing he was going to do next. Even his tone of voice had become softer.

"Think beautifully!"

Gu Jinhuai suddenly reached out and pinched my cheek, a hint of obsession flashing in his eyes.

"hiss……"

I cried out in pain and instinctively raised my hand to hit him, but the man was quick and moved his hand away the second I reached out, and then stepped back and sat up straight.
