Chapter 188: Call Him Ah Xi

lder. He was stunningly handsome with piercing, long and deep eyes, cold and aloof like they held endless ice and snow. Even wounded, he still radiated an aura of distance and indifference."Big brothe...Ji Chuan is now running to the hospital all day, each time carrying a large bag of documents. Xu Yi Xue often wakes up to see Gu Xi Cheng sitting on the sofa handling business.

Over the two days, besides Qin Yan and Ye Dongyang dropping by occasionally, Ye Xirui and Xiao Ting also came over every day. Every time Ye Xirui came, she would brag about Gu Xicheng's awesomeness.

Every time I meet Gu Xicheng's eyes, I can't help but run away after ten minutes.

Tang Mengru didn't come to the hospital to see her, but she sent her a text message, asking her to rest well.

Gu Xicheng restricted her phone use again, and it's difficult to get in touch with her at the hospital.

In the afternoon, she felt a bit stifled. Having been in the hospital for days, she could only take short walks by the corridor.

She softly asked Gu Xicheng beside her, "Mr. Gu, can I go for a walk"

Gus lowered the file and looked at her, "No, your leg isn't healed yet."

Xu Yixue looked at the scab on her leg, "I'll just go for a little walk, not long, and not stay too long, okay"

Gu Xicheng still shook his head, his eyes remaining fixed on the document.

"Ah Xi."

When called by that name, Xu Yixue blushed slightly. However, Gu Xichen looked at her with a smiling gaze and couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Only for a short while."

Xu Yixue nodded.

Gu Xicheng put down the file and took the coat next to him to put on her. He leaned into her ear and said, "Call me again." His warm breath tickled her ear, making her blush uncontrollably. She hurriedly lowered her head.

Her face turned even redder, and she stammered his name, "Ah... Ah Xi."

"Hmm."

He hummed softly, his voice trailing off with a teasing lilt.

Her face flushed as she listened, burying her head in his chest.

Gu Xicheng lowered his head to look at her hair, his palm tightly enveloping her hand. A slight smile curved his lips.

His voice, as always, was low and husky. "Come on," he said, "it'll only be for a little while."

She pursed her lips and said, "I know, I know."

Gu Xicheng raised his eyes, raising an eyebrow slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still feeling wronged"

She pursed her lips tightly and shook her head unwillingly: "No."

Gu Xi Cheng couldn't help but hug her and chuckled softly, leading her out by the hand.

Xu Yixue looked up at him, looking at the two hands clasped together. Her heart was filled with both shyness and joy.

Outside, there was quite a commotion. There were patients in their hospital gowns strolling about, and relatives rushing to visit them.

They walked to a quieter place.

The hospital was bustling with people, though it wasn't as crowded as usual. People couldn't help but be captivated by his handsome features as they passed by, stopping frequently to gaze at him. They even ended up taking a second glance at her as well.

Xu Yixue felt uncomfortable being looked at, but Gu Xicheng seemed accustomed to these gazes. He held her hand and continued walking slowly.

"Xī chéng, Xī chéng, Xī chéng"

Suddenly, a female voice grew closer. Xu Yixue heard the voice and stopped. She turned around to look.

Gu Xicheng patted her shoulder and stood there watching the arrival.

Zhao Rongfeng ran over, stopping in front of the two people and catching his breath.

Xu Yixue looked at the newcomer. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were wrinkled, as if she had just escaped from somewhere.

"Xi Cheng, I, I apologize to this lady, I apologize, I apologize, please help Auntie."

She's been on the verge of a breakdown these days. Her in-laws aren't helping her, and the creditors show up at her door every day threatening her. After being harshly rejected by Gu Xicheng last time, she was even restricted from entering this hospital.

Seeing him finally bring that woman down, she had no choice but to find that woman. Before each visit, she would deliberately make herself look more disheveled, hoping that the woman would take pity on her.

Gu Xicheng looked at the person in front of him with an unchanged expression. Zhao Rongxin's heart tightened, and she turned to look at Xu Yixue beside him. As if grasping the last straw, she stammered, "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. My husband didn't mean to kidnap you, he really—"

Before she could even finish her prepared opening remarks, Gu Xicheng interrupted her with a cool indifference, "Yiyi, let's go."

Xu Yixue looked up at Gu Xicheng. In this situation, she could only go back first. She nodded. "Okay."

Gu Xicheng took Xu Yixue past Zhao Rong, his cool eyes swept lightly over her, making her spine shiver. She stared blankly as the two of them left.

There's nothing on today. I'll wipe it for you."Xu Yixue didn't move, feeling his fingers brush her cheek a few times before he took them away."Alright." Gu Xicheng finished speaking and directly changed the subject, asking,...
