Chapter 567 - 252.3
The agent had warned her long ago that if she didn’t change her personality, she would suffer sooner or later.As expected.
Shen Weiyi hadn’t forgotten that Gao Yue was her friend. Even though she already felt annoyed inside, she didn’t show it at all.
With a concerned look on her face, she said, "Then in a few days, I’ll try to talk to Shaozhi."
"Great!" Gao Yue’s mournful expression immediately brightened up a bit, and she said gratefully, "Thank you, Weiyi."
Mr. Gu had been fond of Weiwei for over a decade. As long as Weiwei spoke up to help her, there surely wouldn’t be any issues.

Neither of them had a dry spot on them. The journey home was too far, so they booked a room in a hotel.
Yuan Yi quickly went to a nearby mall to buy two sets of clothes. When he delivered them to the room, he found the atmosphere wasn’t as tender and romantic as he had imagined.
In the luxurious presidential suite, the light from the crystal chandelier was soft and bright.
After taking a shower, one person lay on the bed resting in a robe, while the other was still in a soaked suit and shirt, standing at the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to him, slightly bowed, looking thoughtful.
Silence, stillness.
He certainly didn’t dare look at the bed, keeping his head down as he placed the clothes at the foot of the bed.
Wanxia opened her eyes and politely said, "Thank you, Yuan Yi."
"You’re welcome, madam," Yuan Yi suddenly realized he hadn’t broken the habit yet and awkwardly corrected himself, "Uh... Miss Ji, the doctor will arrive soon."
He instinctively glanced at Mr. Gu standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, finding that the other had no extra reaction, as if he hadn’t heard anything. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Wanxia paused for a moment, then pulled up the thin blanket to cover her cheeks and responded in a muffled voice, "Okay, got it."
Yuan Yi nodded respectfully and exited the room quietly.
...
Twenty minutes later, a doctor arrived at the hotel to examine Wanxia, taking the utmost care.
After organizing his tools, he stood up, "Mr. Gu, Miss Ji’s body doesn’t have any major issues. She just seems to be in shock, which is why her complexion doesn’t look too good."
Wanxia had been in the water for less than half a minute before being rescued, so naturally, there weren’t any major problems.
Gu Shaozhi turned around, his sharply defined features indifferent and calm, "She choked on water. Does she need to go to the hospital for a full body check-up?"
Upon hearing this, the doctor wanted to roll his eyes at the ceiling.
The world of the wealthy is truly beyond the understanding of someone like him.
Of course, he didn’t dare roll his eyes, always remembering the duty of a doctor, and answered politely and respectfully, "If Miss Ji doesn’t have other conditions, it’s not necessary."
Gu Shaozhi looked at the back of the head lying on the bed, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly, "You can go now."
The doctor nodded, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Jin Sinan arrived very punctually, exactly on time as agreed, and brought a bouquet of roses.
When Wanxia opened the door, he was lazily leaning against a sycamore tree trunk with his hands in his pockets. He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, "Miss Ji, is the food ready?"
Wanxia felt that if she wanted to repay the favor she owed him all at once, even if she couldn’t reach a full imperial feast, it shouldn’t fall too short either.
"Hmm..." She blinked and smiled, "It might still take another half an hour."
There was amazement in Jin Sinan’s gaze.
Today she dressed very casually in the simplest white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, her long hair loosely tied at the back of her head. Except for the two long white legs being half-covered by an apron, which wasn’t ideal, he thought every part was stunning, even more beautiful than in a red dress.
Four years ago, when she was still Mrs. Gu, did Gu Shaozhi see such an appealing version of her every day when he came home...
He curved his lips, stood straight, and walked up the steps, "Don’t say half an hour, I would wait even if it takes half a year."
He stopped at the door and handed the flowers to Wanxia, "I was in a hurry, and the flower shop happened to have a bouquet already wrapped. It doesn’t mean anything else."
Roses, eleven of them.
"Thank you," Wanxia smiled, stepping aside to let him in.
Upon hearing Jin Sinan’s voice, Pea got up from the carpet and eagerly ran towards him, "Uncle Jin!"
She was in a super excited state.
Whether it was a hug or being lifted high, Jin Sinan fulfilled all her demands.
Wanxia placed the roses Jin Sinan brought into a vase, instructed the servant to make tea, and then returned to the kitchen to cook.
The cute and soft little one acted coyly in his arms, and even for a thirty-something man like Jin Sinan, his heart couldn’t help but melt, "Did An Ge miss uncle?"
