Chapter 140

Gu Zhixia just thanked Dr. Lu lightly and didn't say anything else. If it was before yesterday, she might still think that Xia Mohan did all these for her.

but now……

She dared not and could not think about it.

After returning to the villa, Gu Zhixia hesitated in the room for a long time. The uncle's affairs could not be delayed any longer. Although Gu Wanru didn't urge her, she knew that her cousin must be dying of anxiety now.

After hesitating again and again, she decided to ask Yang Lin for news first, and only after confirming that Nan Xiyun was not in Jinghao Garden did she go to Xia Mohan.

"I want to talk to you!" Gu Zhixia knocked on the door of the study.

Xia Mohan was sitting at the desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his pair of energetic black eyes were focusing on the monitor in front of him, revealing shrewd and deep eyes, while the dark curtain behind him blocked the room tightly and softly. The light sprinkled in the cool-toned room, making the atmosphere of the whole study more solemn and deserted.

When Gu Zhixia first stepped into the study, he smelled a faint smell of tobacco. It was obvious that the air in the study had been treated, but Gu Zhixia was very sensitive to the smell of smoke.

When the woman walked into the desk, Xia Mohan raised her eyes, her face was still red and swollen!

"What's the matter?"

A second later, Xia Mohan turned his gaze back to the monitor in front of him.

Gu Zhixia stood there, suddenly she didn't know how to speak, she suddenly felt that this man was very strange, maybe it was because of his attitude towards her now, maybe it was because of Nan...

"You...you're not going to the company today?" Gu Zhixia's opening remarks were a little blunt.

Xia Mohan glanced at her inexplicably, and snorted coldly, "Are the heroines so lenient?"

"Stop mocking me, I almost died!" Gu Zhixia said weakly, only she knew how dangerous yesterday's situation was, and she never wanted to be a hero.

"Do you still know the danger? Don't you know how to run? Are you good at running away from home? By the way, you also catch fugitives and save the world? How did you become cowardly now?" Xia Mohan satirized her rudely. The woman also knew that she almost died!

When Xia Mohan said this, Gu Zhixia was embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it later, she became angry again. When she was in danger yesterday, he was with Nan Ziyun, and a wave of annoyance surfaced heart.

She simply couldn't be so cramped, and sat down on the opposite side of Xia Mohan, and said carelessly: "That's just a coincidence, I have the habit of putting anti-wolf spray and self-defense weapons in the room, but luckily it was me yesterday." It’s okay to go back alone!”

"Are you okay?" Xia Mohan frowned, and shook his head with an expression of disbelief: "Do you want me to take a look in the mirror for you? Heroine?"

This woman's face was beaten like a pig's head, she's fine!

Gu Zhixia was taken aback, maybe the man's tone was too serious, she just felt a warmth lingering in her heart, but why did the apex of her heart hurt a little, cool, looming pain...

"Oh, it's okay anyway, let's not talk about this!" Gu Zhixia decided to put this topic to rest.

There is no need to take his politeness seriously, after all, there is something more between them than ordinary strangers, but that's all.

Gu Zhixia nervously clenched his hands on his knees before getting to the point: "I have something to ask for your help?"

"The heroine still needs help?" Xia Mohan laughed mockingly.
