Chapter 121

I hesitated for a few seconds, tugged at my mask, and asked in a low voice, "Is it still okay if I have the surgery now?"

When the doctor heard what I said, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes: "You don't like children? You young people!"

The female doctor sighed deeply. As the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, she had seen many naive young girls who became pregnant unexpectedly due to inadequate precautions and then secretly came to her for abortion.

"You've been pregnant for three months already. There would be risks if you had surgery. How about you go get a checkup first, and we'll talk about it once all your indicators are normal?"

So, I had a full physical exam as instructed by the doctor. A day passed, and the doctor had already gone home. I had no choice but to come back the next day.

Just as I was about to go back, as soon as I left the hospital, I saw a black sedan parked across the street.

I thought I was seeing things, but when I saw the man get out of the car, my raised foot froze in mid-air.

Gu Jinhuai, what's he doing here?

My heart jumped into my throat, and I instinctively turned around and hid behind a pillar, patting my chest to try to calm myself down.

Could he be following me? That's impossible. I came here secretly. I quickly put on my hat and mask tightly, because the weather in Beijing has been cold these past few days, so this disguise wouldn't be too conspicuous.

I waited for a while, but there was no sound. I quietly moved my feet, tilted my head, and glanced over, only to find that the area next to the car was empty, with no one around.

"Huh...where did they go?"

I muttered something under my breath.

"Who are you looking for?"

Suddenly, a deep, pleasant voice sounded from above.

"Of course I am~"

I squinted, my gaze still fixed on that spot, and instinctively answered the question.

"what?"

The man's voice was pleasant, with a hint of teasing.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly turned around. I saw Gu Jinhuai standing behind me, his dark and cold eyes fixed on me, the curve of his lips growing deeper and deeper.

"Who...are you? You've mistaken me for someone else."

My pupils contracted sharply, but I quickly calmed down, steadied myself, glanced at him, then looked away. My tone was slightly impatient as I finished speaking and prepared to leave.

The man took the initiative, cornering me against the wall and bracing his hand against a pillar to block my path.

What brings you to the hospital?

Gu Jinhuai frowned, his voice gradually turning cold, and his eyes also carried a chilling aura that pierced straight to the heart.

I instinctively shuddered, not daring to meet his gaze, and looked away. As he drew closer, I raised my hand to slap his arm away, lowered my voice, and was about to retort.

Suddenly, the man reached out and ripped off my mask, revealing my face.

"Zhou Nanzhi, what a coincidence."

Gu Jinhuai suppressed his anger, his face displaying an imposing expression.

I looked into his eyes; he was clearly angry just a moment ago, but now it's all gone.

Without thinking much of it, I retorted, "What's it to you?"

After a few seconds of stalemate, the man wouldn't let me go. I felt a chill run down my spine, but I still stubbornly retorted, "What I do is my freedom."

Before I could finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai had already reached out and snatched the medical report from my hand.

"what are you doing?"

I shouted angrily and reached out to snatch it, but the man easily grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head.

Gu Jinhuai's face was frighteningly dark, his gaze fixed on me, his tone laced with gritted teeth: "Zhou Nanzhi, you..."

When I looked into his eyes, I saw helplessness, but even more so, self-reproach.

"What's wrong with you? You're interfering with my physical exam!"

I glared at him, my heart pounding with anger.

"Physical examination?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Jinhuai's eyes. When he saw the table and realized that it contained medical examination reports for various indicators, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

I was still worried that he would see other problems in the report. While he was still stunned, I snatched the medical report away, glared at him fiercely, pushed the person in front of me aside, and strode away.

After realizing what had happened, Gu Jinhuai, who was behind me, thought about how rude he had been earlier and slapped himself. Seeing me walking further and further away, he quickly caught up with me.

"Don't follow me, I'll go back by myself."

Hearing the man's footsteps approaching, I subconsciously frowned, turned my head and glared at him warningly. He stood still, noticing my displeased gaze, and stopped moving, obediently standing still in place.

I glanced at him, then turned and quickly left.

Gu Jinhuai followed closely behind.

I didn't notice that when we passed a bubble tea shop, I hesitated for a moment, and finally touched my belly and murmured, "Baby, Mommy wants to drink bubble tea. It's very sweet, and you definitely want to drink it too."

I strode to the milk tea shop, and unfortunately, it was buy-one-get-one-free today. Just as I was about to refuse, Fu Yiran ran over.

"Does Zhizhi mind if we each have a drink?"

When I heard Fu Yiran's words, I looked up abruptly, my eyes filled with surprise and a gentle smile.

"Okay."

I readily agreed, and then walked forward side by side with Fu Yiran.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhuai felt his heart was about to explode with anger. Just as he was about to follow, he was stopped by the bodyguards brought by Madam Song.

"Gu Jinhuai, I think we should have a serious talk."

Madam Song's expression was not good, especially when she looked at Gu Jinhuai, her eyes filled with anger.

Gu Jinhuai gave her a cool glance and refused in an icy tone: "There's nothing to talk about between us."

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he walked past Madam Song and was about to leave when the butler from the old mansion suddenly appeared, looked at Gu Jinhuai, and said respectfully, "Young Master, Madam and Master request that you return."

Gu Jinhuai's face darkened further. He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to punch someone. Just as he was about to leave, the shrewd butler immediately spoke up: "Regarding Miss Zhou, Madam said that if you don't go back this time, she would rather die than let Miss Zhou enter the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhuai's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Watching the figure walking further and further away, he finally had no choice but to go home first.

The car sped by, and as it passed by me, Gu Jinhuai happened to see Fu Yiran say something that made me smile and giggle.

Gu Jinhuai found it an eyesore and said in a deep voice, "Stop the car."

"Master."

The butler in the passenger seat frowned.

"Or I'll jump out of the car now."

Gu Jinhuai's expression was serious, not like he was joking.

The butler was helpless; if Gu Jin got injured, he would be in deep trouble.

Finally, the black sedan came to a steady stop in front of me. Before I could react, Gu Jinhuai got out of the car and pulled me by the arm toward the car.

I was startled by the sudden scene, and my face turned quite pale.

"Why are you crazy?"

I froze for a moment, about to resist, and Fu Yiran, who was standing next to me, also tried to block me, but was stopped by bodyguards who got out of the car behind us.

"My people, when did it become your place to manage them?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at Fu Yiran coolly, his words light and airy, yet carrying an immense pressure that instilled fear.

I held the milk tea in one hand and resisted with the other, but the man was very strong. Then, my feet left the ground and I was carried in a princess carry by the man.

Startled by the sudden panic, I dropped the milk tea in my hand with a thud. I tightly hugged Gu Jinhuai's neck, a hint of panic flashing in my eyes.

"what are you doing?"

My voice was filled with anger.

Looking at my pale face, Gu Jinhuai's cold and ruthless eyes showed a hint of pity.

"go home."

Gu Jinhuai uttered two words indifferently, then carried me into the car. I sat obediently on one side, while Gu Jinhuai got into the car from the other side.

During this time, my eyes followed Fu Yiran, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the bodyguards did not make things difficult for him.

Gu Jinhuai noticed my gaze, his brows furrowed, and he grabbed my chin, his tone cold: "What are you looking at? Are you worried about him? If you look at him again, I'll gouge his eyes out."

Hearing the threat in the man's tone, I was forced to raise my chin and look him in the eye. My hands, which were resting on my knees, were clenched tightly as I spoke: "I don't know who said that this is a society governed by law and that no one dares to do anything reckless. I think you only dare to say such things in front of Song Yuan."

He didn't say that to Song Yuan a few days ago, I thought to myself, and then ignored him.

Gu Jinhuai was speechless for a moment, and didn't refute me.

Seeing his silence, I became even more smug. He had nothing to say. Every time I mentioned Song Yuan, he would fall silent. Sure enough, it's still better to bring out the white moonlight.
