Seven years

Chapter 15 The Dignity of Love

At the entrance of the hospital, Li Binghuan said to Yang Yuan: "I'll take Vice President Li's car, you should go back first."

Yang Yuan nodded and drove away alone.Li Binghuan also sat in the co-pilot, seeing that Yanzhen was frowning, not completely relieved, and asked inquiringly, "Do you know Gu Yan?"

Yan Zhen quickly guessed that her brother was suspicious, and said in a voice like a calm lake without a single ripple: "He works under Mu Xue, so I have seen him several times."

"That's it..." Li Binghuan nodded as if suddenly realized, the car was quiet for a few seconds, but he changed his tone and said, "But... I heard that you arranged for him to be Mu Xue's assistant."

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from him.Li Yanzhen had no choice but to cover it up with a smile: "I had a good impression of him when we first met. I thought that Mu Xue also needs a reliable assistant, so I let him do it."

"Reliable?" Li Binghuan sneered, "A person who has only met him once can tell whether he is reliable?"

Li Yanzhen put away her smile, "Brother, you seem to be prejudiced against Gu Yan?"

"I just ask you, do you like him?" Li Binghuan said.

Now that he saw it, Li Yanzhen no longer hid it, "Yes, I like him, can't I?"

Li Binghuan couldn't figure out why the two most important women in his life liked Gu Yan, and he was annoyed for a moment. He tried his best to control his temper that was about to explode, and persuaded him earnestly: "It's not that my brother is meddling in your personal life, but you Think about it carefully, he is just a small employee, and you, you are the vice president of TOD, the jewel in the palm of your father, how can you get together?"

"He's not an ordinary person." Li Yanzhen blurted out, and almost missed Gu Yan's game development in SV.If my brother knew about it, I wouldn't let him go.

Li Binghuan frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said I see him as a potential stock." Li Yanzhen changed the words.

Li Binghuan shook his head, "I don't know you yet? You are interested in Gu Yan because of his good looks, right? Which of the few boyfriends you dated before is ugly? But the result is that you have a family background Status? Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the guy named Yi Kuang didn’t know your background when he was with you, but after dating you for two months, he fell in love with a more ‘perfect’ girl in his eyes , Later I found out that you are the veritable Miss Qianjin, do you regret it? Don’t tell me that he never looked for you after that! Yanzhen, listen to my brother’s words, a man’s face cannot be used to eat, you You should find a man who is better than you in every way."

Li Yanzhen admitted that her brother's words hit her pain point, but she was not reconciled, "I believe Gu Yan is not such a person, he is different!"

Li Binghuan couldn't help but feel sorry for his sister when he thought about the matter between Gu Yan and Mu Xue that his sister was thinking about, "Even if he is different, if you like him, others may not like you!"

These words poured into Li Yanzhen's ears like a gust of cold wind, making her unbearable, she made a sharp turn, stopped the car by the side of the road, her eyes were as bright as if they were on fire!

"What about you? You and Mu Xue have known each other for seven years. Everyone of us can see how kind you are to her, but what do you get? It's fine if the proposal is rejected. You have given so much but never listened to her." She said to you that I love you! You can trample on your self-esteem for a woman, why can't I like others?!"

Li Binghuan was also angry, and slammed the door of the car and walked to the sidewalk with a stern face.

Mu Xue called her mother outside the ward, saying that she would go on a business trip in the next few days and couldn't come back, so she asked her to take care of herself.After finishing the call, they saw Lu Hong and Zhang Leran coming from the information desk with their heads poking around. They also saw her and waved to her.

"You are here too." Mu Xue was not surprised when they heard the news.

"Where's Gu Yan?" Lu Hong asked.

Mu Xue told them the situation while leading them into the ward. Gu Yan opened his eyes after hearing the movement.

Lu Hong walked to the bedside and said to Gu Yan: "Look, Ruanrou Township, Hero Tomb, fortunately you are lucky!"

Seeing Mu Xue lower her head, Zhang Leran comforted her: "He didn't mean to blame you, don't worry about it."

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry too much. If I care about it, I will be confused and speak freely." Lu Hong forgot that she was still by his side, and quickly explained.

Mu Xue pursed her lips, "It's okay, this time it's indeed because of me."

Gu Yan interrupted them and said, "Don't tell my parents about this, lest they worry."

Zhang Leran understands what Gu Yan means, firstly, to keep the elders from worrying, and secondly, if they know that their precious son got injured in order to save others, they might not be happy with Mu Xue.He said: "Don't worry, we won't reveal anything. You can rest easy and recuperate. Lu Hong and I will find time to take a look at my uncle and aunt."

As if telepathic, when talking about Gu Yan's parents, his mother called. Mu Xue put the phone to his ear, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Mom." Gu Yan coughed and cleared his throat before answering the phone, people who didn't know could not tell that there was anything unusual about him. "I won't go home to eat with you this week. The company is busy, and I have to go on a business trip for a few days... Hmm, do you think there is anything you want and I will bring it back? Okay, then take care of your health, I still have some on hand It's a matter, hang up first. Okay, okay, bye."

After confirming that Mu Xue hung up the line, Lu Hong dared to take a big breath, "Okay, you, it sounds like that."

"Then my parents will trouble you." Gu Yan said.

"No trouble." Zhang Leran waved his hand, "By the way, have you eaten yet? How about Lu Hong and I go out to buy?"

Before the accident, I had been busy with the store, and I wanted to wait until I finished shopping and went back to the store to have a look before eating. No one expected this to happen. After that, I was even more busy until now, and I never made time to listen to Zhang Leran’s question. Only then did Mu Xue feel really hungry.

Gu Yan knew that Mu Xue was hungry, so he said to them: "I won't be polite to you, hurry up, I'm starving to death."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Hong poked Zhang Leran's waist, his face was still cheerful, Zhang Leran understood what he meant, and he didn't want to be a high-voltage light bulb here, "Wait a little bit, we will come as soon as we go."

After a while of uproar, the rest is silence.

Mu Xue sat down on the chair, sent a message to the people in the design department, and assigned part of her work for the past few days to Zhao Yulin and Chen Nina.Gu Yan looked at her sideways, the white light outside the window shrouded her body, making him feel as if he was in a dream, feeling unreal.Mu Xue's hair was pulled back and tied into a low ponytail, and a small strand on the front of her forehead slid to the front to cover her eyes. Mu Xue held the phone in one hand and pinned it behind her ears slowly with the other.

After explaining the things at work, Mu Xue raised her head, only to realize that Gu Yan was looking at her.She thought he was not feeling well, so she stood up anxiously, "Does it hurt? Do you want to sit down for a while?"

Gu Yan nodded.

Mu Xue pulled out the pillow under his head and stood it upright, then helped him up to lean on it, "Is the pillow soft? Does it hurt on your back? How about I go out and buy one?"

Gu Yan wanted time to stop at this moment and never leave again, he said: "It doesn't hurt."

"I'll give you a massage in the evening, and when the injury is better, I'll accompany you out to bask in the sun." Mu Xue said, tucking in the quilt.

"it is good."

"Cough cough." Lu Hong coughed at the door, and Zhang Leran came in happily carrying a few paper bags. "Didn't bother you? Dinner is coming!"

Mu Xue took the bag and said, "Thank you."

"Then we'll come see you tomorrow and go home first. Mu Xue, you've worked hard these few days." Zhang Leran said with a smile.

"It's not hard, I'll send you off."

After sending them away, Mu Xue brought a small table and put the dishes on it. There were meat and vegetables and nutritious soups, which were quite rich.Just as Gu Yan was about to reach for the bowls and chopsticks, Mu Xue stopped him.

"Don't move, I'll just come." Mu Xue snatched the lunch box and chopsticks in front of him, and said while picking up vegetables.

Gu Yan smiled, "I'm not that fragile."

"No way, what if you touch the wound?" Mu Xue moved the chair, "What are you afraid of? Is it possible that I will eat you?"

Gu Yan laughed, "Just don't be afraid."

This sentence sounded provocative to Mu Xue, she didn't speak, but her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she silently fed Gu Yan.Gu Yan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking.

A few minutes later the ringing of a text message broke the silence.It was Gu Yan's cell phone, Mu Xue gave it to him, and saw that it was from his mother.

"Help me see it." Gu Yan said.

"Your mother said that you will not be here for a few days, and she will go to your house to help you clean." Mu Xue summed up the content of the text message.

"Just say yes." Gu Yan watched her fingers fluttering, and quickly replied.

Mu Xue habitually pressed the Enter key, and when she saw the text message he had sent to herself on the message record interface, the note in the contact column had only one word - "she", so she glanced at him.

Seeing her strange expression, Gu Yan asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Xue withdrew her gaze, quit the program, and said, "It's nothing."

It was getting dark, and the lights of a house in the alley were turned on. A middle-aged woman in pajamas was sitting on the sofa watching TV and waiting for her husband to come home for dinner. When she heard the sound of a key being inserted in the lock, she rushed to meet her.

"Hey, I see you're in a good mood. What's so happy about it?" Gu Chengliang was also happy when he saw his wife was in good spirits after entering the door.

Xu Jianping mysteriously took out a ball of paper from his pocket, which contained a strand of hair that was not easy to find, "What do you think this is?"

Gu Chengliang thought it was something strange, "It's just a hair."

"Old man, this is not ordinary hair. Let me tell you, Gu Yan is on a business trip. I went to clean his house, but I found this hair on his bed." Xu Jianping said excitedly.

"So what?" Gu Chengliang didn't understand what medicine was sold in her gourd.

Xu Jianping thought his wife was slow to respond, so she patted him, "Oh, you are stupid! I found a woman's hair on his bed, what does that mean?"

"You mean..." Gu Chengliang finally understood what she meant, he thought for a while and waved his hand, "Oh, maybe you dropped it while cleaning?"

"My hair is not that long! Hey, I said, why are you like this? Don't be in a hurry when your son is married. I see, he has finally opened his mind and knows that he wants to find a wife! No, no, no, I have to call him and ask!" As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa and grabbed the landline to dial his son's phone number.

"Look at your quick temper." Although Gu Chengliang said so, he leaned closer to his wife's ear to listen.

Xu Jianping put down the phone resentfully, "I didn't answer."

Gu Chengliang comforted her: "Isn't Gu Yan very busy recently, let's talk about it when he comes back, eat, eat."

Mu Xue watched TV with Gu Yan for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she said to him, "Go to bed early after I've finished your massage."

"Okay." Gu Yan cooperated and turned sideways.

No wonder people always say "Easier said than done". Although she gave her mother a leg massage when she was sick, the situation is different now. Mu Xue doesn't know where his injury is, and she can't do it for a while." Or... you took off your shirt?"

Gu Yan turned his head to look at her, a smirk curled up on the corner of his mouth, "Want to see?"

Mu Xue's face was flushed, she never expected that he would want to go somewhere else, and since she couldn't take back what she just said, she pushed him shyly, "Fuck you!"

"Oh!" Gu Yan cried out in pain.

When Mu Xue was in a hurry, she still remembered that he had a wound on his back, and now she was so panicked that she was at a loss, and she also called out: "Oh... Did you touch the wound? How are you? Let me see!"

Seeing that she was really panicked, Gu Yan grabbed her hand, endured the pain and said, "It's okay, I lied to you."

Mu Xue withdrew her hand and gave him a blank look, "If you're so dishonest, I won't care about you."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Gu Yan smiled, "Try pressing, don't be afraid."

When Gu Yan went to the bathroom at night, he looked at his back in the mirror, it was purple and red, and it was all swollen. Afraid that Mu Xue would be afraid and blame himself when he saw it, he never took off his shirt.Mu Xue had no choice but to massage him according to her feeling, "Is this okay? Do you want to be lighter?"

"...be gentler."

"So what?"

"Row……"
