Chapter 1114 - 1117: Simple Happiness Is Everywhere 7

"That shouldn’t be the case. All the personal guards dispatched to the sanatorium are trusted confidants of Brother. Brother has always been meticulous in his affairs; there’s no way he’d send problematic personal guards to the sanatorium," Bai Wuqing said.

Nan Baihao was exasperated: "Then where do you think the recent rumors are coming from? Didn’t Brother say it wasn’t that bastard Gu Buyu’s doing? If it’s not him, and not Brother’s personal guards, then who else could it be?"

Bai Wuqing: "Brother has been making some low-level mistakes lately; it’s only natural for people outside to start speculating."

A person suddenly losing balance and falling—something like that happening once might be an accident, twice a coincidence, but three times? That should start raising eyebrows. As for Brother’s situation, it had already happened more than five times. If outsiders still couldn’t figure out it was due to health issues, *that* would actually be strange! Where had everyone’s IQ gone?

The group of men quickly veered off-topic, discussing where the trouble originated, naturally leaving Chenxing off to the side, ignored.

Especially because the things they were talking about left Chenxing feeling like she had no room to interject. It was only then that she snapped out of her daze.

So she cleared her throat and forcibly inserted herself into the conversation, raising her voice to assert her presence.

"Brother Wuqing, are you all going to help me think of a way to persuade Shaocheng to stay in the sanatorium for treatment or not?" This back-and-forth running around every few days really wasn’t sustainable anymore.

Bai Wuqing seemed to catch on, and chuckled: "Hmm, we’re thinking about that. First, we have to iron out all the potential risks so that he can stay in the sanatorium securely. Otherwise, it’ll just be one problem after another."

Then the men went right back to discussing the matters they deemed important, leaving Chenxing sidelined once again, unable to participate. She listened quietly for a while, then resolutely turned to her WeChat app.

After thinking it over, she concluded it might be better to use her "pillow talk" tactic.

If once didn’t work, she’d try twice.

If twice didn’t work, she’d try three times.

And if even three times didn’t work... Was she stupid? She was living in the same little villa with him every day. Where could Shaocheng run off to, unless he planned to move out and live separately from her? But the problem wasn’t about living in the villa—it was about him agreeing to undergo inpatient treatment. Staying cooped up in the villa did no good; coming and going every day just made it even more exhausting.

"Ugh..."

In the examination room, the man’s tall and upright figure was slightly tilted to the side. Fine beads of sweat covered his body as he clenched his jaw tightly, slight fragments of groans escaped from between his teeth, only to be quickly suppressed again.

The doctor next to him turned off the equipment and softly said to him, "Mr. Gu, this might hurt a bit. Shall I get you something to bite down on?"

"No need. I can endure it."

His fists clenched tightly, and the resolute man showed no trace of vulnerability despite the intense pain. He remained as unyielding as ever, leaving no room for anyone to doubt or pity him, his entire being radiating an unshakable aura.

Only the faint paleness of his brows and eyes betrayed his true emotions at that moment.

Gu Shaocheng pulled out his phone, staring at the screen. Looking at the mischievous little face displayed on it, he finally said, "Go on."

He shifted all his focus and attention onto the phone screen, as if the woman displayed on it was his sole painkiller. Simply watching her like this, quietly enduring.

When the light on the screen dimmed, he would press the unlock button.

When the light dimmed again, he would press it once more.

This repetitive motion went on for a full fifty times.
