n“This has nothing to do with you.” Saying that, he did not pay heed to her anymore and left with Yun Shishi in his arms.

nQin Zhou’s expression changed slightly when he saw him leave. Once he sorted out the situation with Zheng Yun, he hurried to leave as well.

nGu Xingze brought Yun Shishi to his studio on the 30th floor of Huanyu Tower.

nHis workshop occupied a 500-square-meter floor space. The entire floor belonged solely to him.

nWhen the elevator opened, what could be seen was a simple yet luxurious living room. His personal physician was already waiting inside.

nAhead of time, Qin Zhou had called for the personal doctor stationed within Huanyu Tower.

nThe superstar gently put her on the single bed behind the screen and then turned around to instruct the doctor. “Come tend to her!”

nThe attentive physician noted from the superstar’s anxious look that he cared for the woman, so without further ado, he quickly stepped forward to examine her.

nThe quick checkup revealed that she merely suffered a light injury, and after a simple treatment, she was informed of a full recovery within a few days.

nGu Xingze’s frigid face relaxed a little upon hearing this.

n“Thank you, Gu Xingze…” She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

nShe did not mention a word regarding the earlier incident in the training room.

nQin Zhou saw that she was well and, being a man of foresight, quickly led the doctor away. The two were left by themselves in the spacious room.

nDong!

nOnce the elevator doors went shut, the living room fell into a still silence.

nEventually, he sat on the bed’s edge, shifted his eyes on to her, and gently asked, “Is it painful?”

nHis gaze was full of care, as if, by not rendering special protection, her fragile self would break just like that.

nShe shook her head. “It’s not painful now.”

n“You are pretending to be strong again.” He lowered his eyes in resignation.

n“I used my hand to block the blow. There’s a light bruise on my arm but none anywhere else. It’ll heal soon,” she said reassuringly.

nOnce she finished saying that, there was another long silence.

nThis silence was beginning to feel awkward.

nBoth were deep in their thoughts and did not know what to say to each other.

nJust as he was about to say something, Qin Zhou rang his phone out of the blue. Looking restless, he coolly spoke onto the mouthpiece. “This has better be something important!”

nQin Zhou’s mouth twitched slightly. “Well… Ji Lin is asking you for lunch and to bring Shishi.”

n“We’re not going!”

nHer arm was hurt; how could they attend the appointment?

n“It’s about the movie.”

n“Change the appointment date!”

n“The date can’t be changed… A few producers and investors are around; your elder brother… is around, too.”

nGu Jinglian…

nIs this about Yang Shoucheng?

nHe was slightly stunned and looked absent-minded for a while. He proceeded to hang up the phone and stood up. “You rest here first.”

nShe quickly stood up as well. “Not necessary. I can go with you!”

nHer hearing was good. Besides, he took the call in her presence, so she could catch the part where Qin Zhou had asked for her attendance.

nHe wistfully looked at her. His eyes held a tinge of loving tenderness. “Be obedient, yah.”

nThese were merely simple words, but the loving indulgence on his face made it hard for anyone to resist.

nGu Jinglian was an extremely dangerous man. He did not want her to appear in the presence of his brother.

nShe conceded, “Alright.”

nHe sighed in relief when she said that.

nHowever, just as he was about to leave, she caught up with him again and tugged at the corner of his shirt. “Let me follow you, please! What if this is something important that requires me to be around?”

nHe thought for a while before he eventually nodded. “Eh, but you must follow my instructions.”

n“Yes.”
