On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Xu Yuan never expected that a meal with her best friend would suddenly turn into a private dinner with her best friend's older brother.

Gu Heting booked a high-end restaurant, and the two of them went in and sat at the dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

"Today's speech was truly wonderful; it was definitely worth the trip," Xu Yuan said.

Gu Heting smiled helplessly, "Compared to you, I can only understand half of what you say. I don't understand many of the medical terms you use."

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me, and I can explain it to you,” Xu Yuan said warmly.

“Okay, if I have any questions about this in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice,” Gu Heting said with a smile.

Xu Yuan's pretty face flushed, and she felt a little anxious. Gu Heting had an aura that was easy to get along with, but also gave people a sense of oppression.

“Ms. Xu, your speech last time was also excellent. I have already submitted the cooperation materials. If there are no problems, I will fully invest in your experiment this time,” Gu Heting said.

Xu Yuan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, "Really? Brother Gu, you're really willing to invest in our laboratory?"

"Yes! I have great confidence in you. Advances in medicine are not only a benefit to your laboratory, but also a benefit to all mankind."

Xu Yuan was deeply moved and secretly praised Brother Gu for his magnanimity.

"Xu Yuan? It really is you! It's been so long! When did you come back to China?" A young man walked over with surprise.

Xu Yuan was surprised to see that it was a senior from her university. She smiled and said, "Senior, what a coincidence!"

"Yes! What a coincidence, it's been about two or three years since we last met! You've become more and more beautiful." The senior looked at her with amazement.

Xu Yuan smiled shyly at the compliment, "Senior is still so humorous, and you're getting more and more handsome!"

"Not bad, I changed careers, I'm not a doctor anymore, I started my own company, and I'd say I've achieved some success!" This senior student subtly elevated his own status in his words.

Xu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You're amazing!"

"So-so, oh! Can I have your contact information? Let's get together next time there's a class reunion." This senior student cleverly wanted Xu Yuan's phone number.

Xu Yuan didn't think much of it and gave him her number. The senior's eyes flashed with surprise. "See you later!"

Xu Yuan returned to her seat and was saving the phone number of the senior student she had just met when Gu Heting's deep gaze fell upon her.

"Miss Xu, I advise you not to associate with that man again, lest you get involved in trouble," Gu Heting suddenly reminded her.

Xu Yuan was taken aback and blinked, asking, "Brother Gu, what kind of right and wrong are you referring to?"

"That man was wearing a diamond ring on his ring finger. If I'm not mistaken, he's either engaged or married."

Xu Yuan was taken aback; she hadn't noticed before. She quickly nodded, "Brother Gu is right, I should indeed maintain a relationship with a married man." Then, Xu Yuan suddenly bit her red lips, leaned closer to him, and said, "Brother Gu, you don't have a girlfriend, do you? If we eat together, will your girlfriend be angry?"

After saying that, a teasing glint flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

Gu Heting paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Don't worry, having dinner with me won't get you into any trouble."

Xu Yuan then pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Just then, the dishes were served. Gu Heting was very interested in her education and asked her about her academic career from childhood. Xu Yuan told him the truth, graduating with excellent grades all the way, which was something she could be proud to talk about.

The more Gu Heting got to know her, the more he realized she was like a treasure girl, always possessing qualities that were refreshing and delightful.

“I also heard from my sister that she used to run a design company, and you lent her the money.”

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I had high hopes for Chenxi back then. She was a person with great dreams."

After finishing her story, Xu Yuan recounted how they became friends in high school, and they chatted about all sorts of things.

Xu Yuan is someone who has a lot to talk about. Watching her talk with a big smile, Gu Heting had been holding a cup of tea for a while and forgot to put it in his mouth.

He was stunned for a moment when the tea had gone cold by the time he drank it again.

The two enjoyed their meal. As soon as Xu Yuan came out of the restaurant, an electric scooter rode onto the sidewalk and almost hit her. Just then, a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side. Xu Yuan twisted her high heels and exclaimed in surprise. She turned around and hugged the man next to her.

Gu Heting had only intended to pull her up, but the next second a girl was thrown into his arms, tightly hugging his neck and pressing her face against his chest.

Gu Heting's hands instinctively moved to hold her slender waist to prevent her from falling.

"Hiss." Xu Yuan let out a gasp.

She twisted her leg just now, and her Achilles tendon is still cramping.

"Did you sprain your leg?" Gu Heting reached out and squatted down to check her leg.

Xu Yuan nodded. "It seems like she sprained her ankle."

"I'll help you to the car," Gu Heting said.

Xu Yuan limped for only two steps before her face turned pale with pain. Seeing this, Gu Heting could only say in a low voice, "I'll carry you."

Before Xu Yuan could react, Gu Heting easily swept her into his arms and carried her straight towards his car.

Xu Yuan instinctively clung to his shoulders. Her face, which had been pale with pain, was now flushed with embarrassment. The gazes from all around made her bury her face in Gu Heting's arms.

She was carried to the car, and Gu Heting said to her, "I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

"Brother Gu, won't this be too much trouble for you? Your time is so precious." Xu Yuan felt very bad about it.

"Don't worry, your injury is serious." After saying that, Gu Heting drove to the nearby hospital.

In the doctor's office, Xu Yuan's leg was carefully examined and found to be a common sprain that would recover in a few days.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Heting asked her if she wanted to go home to rest, but Xu Yuan had a lot of work to do recently and couldn't go home.

"I need to go to the lab, so I won't trouble you, Brother Gu. I'll take a taxi back myself."

She couldn't drive her car back, so she had to take a taxi.

"I'm here, why would I let you take a taxi? I'll take you home." Gu Heting chuckled softly.

Along the way, Xu Yuan felt even more guilty, as she had troubled him too much today.

Back at the lab building, Gu Heting's car was parked outside the dormitory. Xu Yuan got out of the car with some difficulty and decided to walk back step by step. However, she had only walked a few steps when two large hands reached out to support her.
