Chapter Ninety-Eight
The doctor slowly removed his mask, his voice stern: "Preliminary examination indicates a heart problem. You must avoid emotional outbursts in the future. You'll need to be hospitalized for observation."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
Fu Yiran breathed a long sigh of relief and followed Aunt Hui into the ward.
Just as I was about to follow, Gu Jinhuai grabbed my hand.
"What?"
I instinctively lowered my voice, but found Gu Jinhuai staring at me intently, his attitude serious: "Do you still want to go to school?"
I just stared at him without saying a word.
Do you remember the time you were in a car accident abroad?
Gu Jinhuai suddenly spoke, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, and asked, "What do you mean?"
“Although he was driving under the influence, I found out that he had powerful connections.”
Looking at Gu Jinhuai's expression, I asked with a smile, "Was that person targeting you?"
After all, their family is the richest in the capital, and they have offended so many people that you can't count them on two hands.
But the next second, Gu Jinhuai's words stunned me: "That was aimed at you."
A look of surprise flashed across my eyes, but then the man changed the subject: "There's a gathering tonight, you'll come with me, it's at the school, I'll be your witness."
Finally, I glanced at Aunt Hui and then left with Gu Jinhuai.
"Put on some clothes."
Gu Jinhuai tossed the clothes to me and got out of the car.
I glanced at the man standing outside the car with his back to me, my gaze lingering on his clothes.
In his past life, at every banquet, the media would capture images of him and Song Yuan entering and leaving together. In the photos, the two were as loving as ever, looking like a perfect couple, which was very enviable.
Every time I questioned him, I was met with Gu Jinhuai's impatient and perfunctory response.
"The media seems to be stirring up trouble, and you're just bored, spending all your time watching these gossip stories? Remember, you are my wife, Gu Jinhuai's wife, and also Mrs. Gu of the Gu family. Your every word and action represents the Gu family. Don't bring shame to the Gu family."
Those harsh words from the past lingered in my mind, and I instinctively clenched my clothes.
"Ok?"
The man's deep voice interrupted my thoughts, and I quickly changed my clothes.
A dark blue, fitted long dress that reached all the way to her ankles, with thin, light gauze layered over the chest in a clever design that didn't reveal a bit of skin. The off-the-shoulder design exposed her beautiful shoulders and collarbones, and the back had a tie-up design. I just felt that Gu Jinhuai was deliberately making things difficult for me.
Just as I was mentally complaining, the man suddenly opened the car door, got in, glanced at the straps on my back, and leaned over to tie my belt. When his gaze inadvertently fell on my chest, his movements paused slightly, and his eyes became even more profound.
He simply draped the coat over my head, his voice icy: "Put it on."
I took off my coat and quickly tied my hair into a low ponytail, leaving my smooth, long hair behind me.
"Put on shoes."
The man's voice remained icy.
I glanced at the high heels in the box and was momentarily at a loss.
Gu Jinhuai looked at my furrowed brows, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked with a hint of amusement, "Can't you put it on?"
I really don't know how to wear them. Even in my past life, I never had a proper wedding, and Gu Jinhuai never took me to banquets. Since then, I have never worn high heels.
But a woman's pride would never allow him to mock me. I looked at the smile in his eyes, gave a cold laugh, and retorted, "Just because you haven't worn it doesn't mean you can't."
I snatched the box from his hand. It contained a pair of blue crystal shoes, also with a strappy design. I bent down and put the shoes on deftly, but when I got out of the car and walked, something felt slightly off; it felt like I was walking on stilts.
My limbs were stiff, afraid of falling, as I listened to Gu Jinhuai's soft laughter.
Without even looking, I knew how awkward my posture looked. A blush crept across my cheeks, not from embarrassment, but from anger.
I bit my lower lip, resisting the urge to take off my shoe and slap Gu Jinhuai. The next moment, a car stopped at the door, and Song Yuzhou got out of the car with Song Yuyan.
"Brother, look, it's Zhou Nanzhi. She can't even put on her shoes properly, it's hilarious, hahaha..."
As I listened to Song Yuyan's mockery, I pursed my lips and tried to walk forward. The next second, Gu Jinhuai gently grabbed my arm, and then my feet were lifted off the ground as he picked me up.
I stared at him in surprise for a moment, then quietly observed him. The man was looking straight ahead, exuding a powerful aura.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, forming a straight line, and his smooth jawline added a touch of sharp beauty. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his neck was long and slender. For a moment, I was mesmerized.
"Brother, didn't you say you locked her up? Why is she still here?"
Because Gu Jinhuai was present, Song Yuyan lowered her voice and questioned him only after he left.
Song Yuzhou still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold as he stared at Song Yuyan, his voice ruthless: "Mind your own business."
After the man finished speaking, he entered the banquet first. Behind him, Song Yuyan's face was pale, her eyes were full of anger, and she clenched her fingers. Her phone rang, she glanced at the message, and a smile appeared on her lips.
After a while, Gu Jinghuai led me into the banquet, instantly attracting everyone's attention, but Gu Jinghuai seemed not to notice and took me directly to the second floor.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and the laughter and chatter inside instantly ceased, with everyone's eyes fixed on the doorway.
Gu Jinhuai picked me up and we sat down at a table, but I kept staring blankly at him.
After a while, the man looked pleased, his eyes filled with a hint of pleasure as he looked at me. His voice was deep and husky, with a rising tone at the end.
"Does it look good?"
Gu Jinhuai leaned close to my ear, his warm breath washing over me, making me shiver. I tried to get off him.
"do not move."
The man's hot, large hands gripped my waist tightly, rendering me unable to move and forcing me to sit obediently.
But his warm, large hand, permeating my entire body, went straight to my heart.
"Jinghuai, Miss Zhou, it's been a long time."
Svi, sitting across from us, smiled slightly and nudged us with his wine glass. A look of surprise crossed my eyes. I glanced around and realized that I didn't recognize anyone except Svi, though some of them looked familiar.
I saw it when Gu Jinhuai brought me here last time.
It seems like this is just a gathering of ordinary friends, so why did he bring me along?
I don't understand.
"Who is this?"
Suddenly, someone broke the silence, their gaze falling on me, and that gaze was filled with inquiry.
My fingertips curled slightly, and I subconsciously looked over.
In the dim light, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I could clearly feel his clear, cold gaze looking at me.
"Let me introduce you all. This is my wife. We are married."
Gu Jinhuai's voice was firm and resolute, and in an instant, I could clearly feel the gasps of the people around me.
A pair of surprised and astonished eyes fell on Gu Jinhuai, and so did mine.
I stared at Gu Jinhuai in disbelief and immediately retorted, "When? How come I didn't know?"
I didn't even go, isn't that nonsense?
Gu Jinhuai gazed at me quietly, his eyes filled with deep affection, but the smile on his lips grew ever wider.
