Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Gu Zhen handed the latte he had made to Li Xi, "Try it."

Li Xi looked down and saw a perfectly standard, large white heart.

She took a small sip and thought it tasted pretty good.

“Take a picture of the coffee machine model number. I’ll get one myself later.” After thinking for a moment, Li Xi added, “Take a picture of the coffee bean brand too.”

If you can find the same recipe, you can make delicious coffee.

Gu Zhen volunteered: "I've got the same coffee machine, coffee beans, and milk all ready. How about you consider getting the same Gu Zhen as me?"

"That depends on Professor Gu's abilities."

Gu Zhen suddenly spread his arms, encircling Li Xi between his embrace and the bar.

Li Xi lowered her head, pretending to study the large white center on the surface of the coffee, but her heart was actually pounding wildly.

She wondered, should we kiss?

French kiss or deep kiss down to the throat?

If he suggests sleeping together, should she pretend to refuse or agree outright?

Gu Zhen hunched over, his handsome face magnified in Li Xi's view.

He reached out and wiped the milk foam from the corner of Li Xi's mouth, his voice seductive and ambiguous: "Actually, a latte is more suitable for the morning. Are you planning to ask me to make you a morning latte?"

Li Xi blushed instantly.

OK OK.

Is this implying that she should let him stay overnight?

"Did Professor Gu drink tonight?" Li Xi pushed Gu Zhen away and laughed, "He's drunk and started having wet dreams."

"Let's get down to business." Flirtatious jokes should stop there; going any further would be vulgar.

Gu Zhen's expression turned serious as he told Li Xi, "The bodyguard next to Xie Jiaoyue is named Zhang Hequan. He's an alcoholic who sneaks drinks during work hours."

"There is indeed a scar under his left eye, likely a cut caused by a sharp object piercing his flesh. The stitches weren't aesthetically pleasing; I think the doctor who operated on him back then probably harbors some resentment..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think that?"

Gu Zhen raised his right hand and said, "We pick up the scalpel to save lives, but patients can be either good or bad."

"When treating ordinary, kind patients, we will try our best to suture the surgical incisions neatly and beautifully, and try to leave no scars."

"Especially on special areas like the face."

“But the scar under his eye looks like a centipede, so I reasonably speculate that he is a bad guy in the doctor’s eyes.”

"People need to be saved, but the rescue doesn't have to be too elaborate."

Doctors also have their own selfish motives.

Good people and bad people alike are all patients when they are sent to the hospital.

But when faced with those scoundrels who have committed countless evil deeds, and they are exhausted after surgery, is it illegal to stitch up their wounds a little ugly?

After listening, Li Xi asked Gu Zhen, "Would you do that?"

Gu Zhen: "That's exactly what I'm talking about—doctors who are not easily disciplined."

"Puch!"

"You have a very accurate understanding of yourself."

"Getting back to the main point," Gu Zhen continued, recounting his discovery: "Zhang Hequan's left hand currently appears to have five fingers."

"But I observed a surgical scar on the outside of his left thumb, with an incision of about two centimeters, which is consistent with the length of a surgery to cut off deformed fingers."

"But whether this person has actually undergone surgery to remove the deformed finger still needs to be verified."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi was already certain that the other party was the truck driver who had killed his father years ago.

She said, "Back then, he got drunk at noon and, while waiting at a traffic light, mistakenly stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, which is how he killed my father."

"You guessed right. The doctor who saved him back then must have known that he had killed someone while driving under the influence, which is why he deliberately stitched up the wound in a twisted manner."

Li Xi sipped his coffee absentmindedly.

Back then, Xie Jiaoyue and Xie Xingyun were sitting in that car.

Zhang Hequan's collision most likely killed the Xie siblings!

Logically speaking, he should be the Xie family's enemy.

Although the Xie siblings survived by sheer luck, the Xie family shouldn't have given Zhang Hequan this job.

So what exactly is going on?

It seems she needs to find a reason to meet that old devil Xie Mingzong.

That old man is lustful and ruthless; he'd do anything to become powerful. There might even be some hidden entanglement of interests between Zhang Hequan and Xie Mingzong.

It is unknown whether Xie Xingyun and Xie Jiaoyue knew about this.

After finishing her coffee, Li Xi felt particularly energetic. Not knowing how long Xie Zheng's activities would last, Li Xi suggested going for a walk on the beach.

Gu Zhen readily agreed.

Seeing that Li Xi was only wearing a sweater, and thinking that it was windy by the coast, Gu Zhen took out one of his coats from the wardrobe and put it on Li Xi.

Gu Zhen's coats are all long.

Gu Zhen looks very thin, but he has broad shoulders and is tall. The same coat looks dashing and handsome on him, but on Li Xi, it looks like a child wearing adult clothes.

She could only pull her coat up a little with the belt and then tie it tight.

There is a marine museum on the island, and on the ground floor of the museum is a restaurant with a view of the ocean, built underground in the sea.

While dining in the restaurant, you can look up and see a stunning sea view.

Due to the economic symposium, visitor numbers on the island were limited, and the underwater museum closed after 8 p.m.

But after Gu Zhen made a phone call, the museum reopened its doors, only accepting Li Xi and Gu Zhen.

Walking through the underwater world's corridor, Li Xi stared at the profile of the man beside her and suddenly asked, "Gu Zhen, where do you live?"

She finally couldn't resist the urge to explore Gu Zhen's secrets.

Gu Zhen said, "Dongzhou City."

"That answer is dishonest." Dongzhou City is so big, and Lanting Apartments also belongs to Dongzhou City.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen's dark eyes deepened, and he said, "Xiangyang Mountain."

Only one family lives on Xiangyang Mountain.

Gu family.

That's the Gu family that the entire Xie family grovels to!

Li Xi's breathing quickened instantly. Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "You're a member of the Gu family?"

Gu Zhen thought she had guessed his true identity, which frightened him.

But Li Xi asked, "Do you know Gu Huaizhou?"

"You both have the surname Gu, so you two must be related! Is he your uncle or your cousin?"
