Thinking of King Jingyao, Jiang Chaoge felt a stab of pain in her heart.
Although he’s always driven by interests, did that man really not care about her at all by blatantly keeping Lin Hua overnight? Even if it was just an act with Lin Hua, he should have taken her feelings into consideration...
She felt uncomfortable, but couldn’t find a reason to take it out on King Jingyao, so she had to endure. Even if she wanted to act out, she needed to find a good opportunity to humiliate Lin Hua, to show her who would truly beco Mrs. Wang in the future.
But all of that had to wait; right now, the most important person was Lu Heng.
During Lu Heng’s check-up, Jiang Chaoge folded her arms and sneered at Gu Anxi: "Are you satisfied now?"
Gu Anxi asked confusedly: "Satisfied with what?"
Suddenly she seed to understand: "Is Lu Heng your... third wheel?"
Jiang Chaoge exploded in anger: "Gu Anxi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Anxi wore an innocent expression: "How am I talking nonsense? I’m serious, don’t worry, I won’t tell King Jingyao. I guarantee you’ll be Mrs. Wang proudly, while secretly living quite a comfortable life.
She was always mischievous, finding it fun to tease Jiang Chaoge when bored, "Lu Heng looks good, Old Wang is only in his forties, but he definitely can’t compare to soone in their thirties, totally understandable."
Jiang Chaoge was too angry to speak. Originally, she and King Jingyao needed a cooling-off period, but today, when she called him, it wasn’t quite a confrontation. Yet, he brushed her off, claiming he was busy with work, and would contact her later.
Jiang Chaoge knows all n are fickle, but she didn’t expect King Jingyao to be shaless enough to develop such an unsavory relationship with Lin Hua at a ti like this.
Jiang Chaoge cares, yet doesn’t care.
But as a woman, she also needs to be coaxed by King Jingyao.
Yet, King Jingyao hasn’t given her an explanation, and she’s both angry and provoked by Gu Anxi, leaving her speechless.
Gu Anxi, very aware of her mood, found joy in Jiang Chaoge’s dissatisfaction.
After waiting outside for a bit, Bo Xichen ca out, and Lu Heng appeared in a wheelchair with a constipated expression. Jiang Chaoge imdiately lunged forward in concern, "Senior Brother Lu, how are you?"
Lu Heng shook his head, "I’m fine."
Yet his gaze was fixed on Gu Anxi.
Bo Xichen called her over: "Apologize to Senior Brother Lu."
Gu Anxi walked over to him begrudgingly, "Why should I apologize to him? He clearly crashed into first."
Just as Lu Heng was about to say sothing, Bo Xichen glanced at his little partner, who imdiately cowered, took a step forward, and as if reciting, said: "Sorry, Senior Brother Lu, I didn’t an to crash into you and turn you into an idiot. I didn’t expect you to get a concussion. If it’s about responsibility, please look for Doctor Jiang, she has money and can take care of your future."
Lu Heng couldn’t bear to hear such nonsense.
He stared at her, his gaze flickering with strange sparks.
Bo Xichen was both amused and annoyed, rubbing her head, "Why do you talk like that?"
She remained silent, snuggling up to her younger uncle obediently, like a cat being stroked.
Lu Heng squinted his eyes, observing. The first ti he saw her, she was very flamboyant, yet in front of Bo Xichen she seed like a little kitten.
He pursed his lips, turning his head away, "It’s okay."
Inside, jealousy turned his insides ugly.
The girl he had searched for four years unexpectedly married his greatest nesis; according to Chaoge, they had registered and were set to have a wedding in a month.
Lu Heng’s graciousness didn’t win over Gu Anxi. She imdiately replied: "You said it’s okay, right? Don’t ask to pay for your car, mine’s damaged too."
"Anxi." Bo Xichen gently scolded.
She replied with an "oh" and hid behind him.
Bo Xichen told Lu Heng: "I’ll arrange for the sa model car when you’re discharged, and cover all your dical expenses."
Lu Heng, however, stood up: "Forget it, it’s just a concussion, I don’t need to stay in the hospital."
Though dizzy, he didn’t want people to think he was an idiot.
Being stubborn like this, the little troublemaker hid behind her uncle, murmuring, "Oh, right, don’t use up dical resources."
Lu Heng glanced at her.
Bo Xichen proved more considerate, glancing at his little troublemaker, then Lu Heng: "If there’s nothing else, have dinner to celebrate your return."
Originally, Lu Heng didn’t want to see Bo Xichen; his looks surpassed his slightly and it irked him. But because of Gu Anxi, he nodded, turning his head, "Chaoge, let’s proceed with tonight’s welco banquet."
Jiang Chaoge nodded: "Alright."
Yet shortly after, she gently asked, "Senior Brother Lu, are you really okay?"
"I’m fine."
Lu Heng was economical with words.
Jiang Chaoge felt relieved, then asked, "So are we returning to the hotel to rest first, and attend the banquet tonight?"
Bo Xichen spoke: "It’s better to stay for observation."
In reality, he hadn’t been invited to any welco banquet, inherently not wanting to go, but Jiang Chaoge had clearly included him in her plans, probably to show off and suppress the Bo Family in public. If that were the case, young uncle Bo couldn’t avoid attending.
After Bo Xichen’s statent, Lu Heng unexpectedly agreed: "Alright, let’s observe."
He fixed his gaze on Gu Anxi: "I heard you’re also a doctor?"
"Yes." Gu Anxi replied playfully, "But I’m very expensive and not employed by Yunxi Hospital; if you want to hire , then I’m Mr. Lu’s high-end caregiver."
Lu Heng, suppressing his anger, asked: "Hourly rate."
"A million." Gu Anxi answered shalessly.
Lu Heng glared at her.
She added, "Oh, four-hour minimum."
Hearing this, Lu Heng looked at Bo Xichen: "Do you not give your wife spending money?"
Young uncle Bo rubbed his nose, "Oh, we have an AA system."
Saying this, he imdiately turned to leave, lest he feels tempted to hang up the little troublemaker for daring to provoke the venomous Lu Heng. However, if it makes Lu Heng jump with rage, it’s worth it.
Lu Heng watched him leave, sowhat surprised, retracting his gaze: "You aren’t close?"
Though in foreign countries AA systems are common among couples, dostically hardly seen, so Lu Heng assud their relationship was ill-matched, leaving Gu Anxi powerless.
Thinking this way, he felt better and reluctantly instructed his secretary to deliver a four-million check, making Jiang Chaoge green-eyed. She worked her fingers to the bone for Jiang Bin for a re yearly inco of ten million, while enduring humiliation. Gu Anxi, however, boldly asked for four million in one breath.
She thought Gu Anxi was bluffing and wouldn’t dare accept it, but Gu Anxi did, smiling, putting it away, then imdiately arranging a VIP ward, window-clear, a full 120 square ters.
Lu Heng lay on the central two-ter bed, thoughtfully gazing at the girl on the sofa.
She must be a girl, as she appeared barely twenty, already married?
Lu Heng’s voice was hoarse: "How did you et Bo Xichen?"
Gu Anxi played her ga, not even looking up: "Oh, he’s my professor."
He sneered: "Teacher-student romance?"
Gu Anxi murmured: "That’s right."
