Chapter 171: I Would Rather Be His Dog

“Gu Ling!” Gu Hai frowned and shouted, “Think about what you want to say carefully. You have to be responsible for your words.”

His words were threatening, making Gu Ling feel resentful and afraid.

Looking at Gu Hai angrily, she suddenly remembered Gu Shen. The two of them did it together, but now she was the only one who was punished.

No matter how slow Gu Ling was, she had realized that something was wrong. Standing up, she staggered out of the room.

“Master.” Uncle Chen stood up from behind. “Should we stop Miss?”

“No need.” Gu Hai looked in the direction where Gu Ling left, and a glint flashed across his eyes. “I’m old too, and there is nothing I can do about them now.”

Gu Ling ran to Gu Shen’s office angrily and bumped into Song Li.

He looked her up and down and said coldly, “President Gu is still resting inside. You can talk to him later.”

“Rest?” Gu Ling gritted her teeth. “I’m about to die, yet he is still in the mood to rest? Get out of my way!”

Song Li continued, “President Gu is still resting. Please don’t disturb him.”

“Song Li!” Gu Ling was completely enraged. The humiliation of being slapped that day surged up.

She wanted to raise her hand to hit him, but Song Li stopped her. “Be smart. Don’t make a fuss here.” With that, he shook off Gu Ling’s hand mercilessly.

“You!” Gu Ling was so angry that her vision turned black. “Is this how you treat me? They’re right. You’re just a dog by Gu Shen’s side. Don’t you feel ashamed of being a dog for a piece of trash?”

Song Li’s expression darkened. He looked at Gu Ling with a fierce gaze.

“I would rather be a dog by his side than a human by your side.” He let out a long breath, continuing, “Gu Ling, I’ve had enough of you.”

“President Gu.” Gu Liu asked, “Do you need me to go out and stop Manager Song?”

“You don’t have to.”

This was the price Gu Ling had to pay for giving Yan Xi that slap back in the Gu mansion.

…

The morning meeting made the entire Gu Corporation panic, but it did not affect Gu Shen’s mood at all.

In the afternoon, he and Yan Xi continued to go to the Rehabilitation Center.

As the cells in Gu Shen’s legs had already begun to grow again, the treatment process had also sped up.

After the basic checkup, Gu Shen was blindfolded and treated with acupuncture.

The black cloth was wrapped so tightly that all he could see was darkness. He couldn’t make anything out.

Gu Shen felt that the person who performed the acupuncture for him was very skilled, even better than Qin Liang. It gave him a sense of familiarity. In the next second, the hand that performed the acupuncture rubbed against his knee.

The delicate touch shocked Gu Shen.

Gu Shen could not feel any pain in his legs, but he could feel the temperature. That slight touch just now even made him have the urge to take off his blindfold.

Yan Xi noticed Gu Shen’s actions and calmly finished the last few needles.

“Are you beside me?” Gu Shen asked.

“I’ll always be beside you no matter where you are.”

Gu Shen was too sharp. If she said that she was not around, it would arouse his suspicion, so she might as well admit it.

“You don’t have to come in again,” Gu Shen said. “It’ll scare you.”

Yan Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She held Gu Shen’s hand. “I won’t be scared. I’ll only be at ease when I’m around you.”

Zhou Xu coughed at the side to break the lovey-dovey conversation. He touched his nose and said, “The acupuncture time this time is shorter than the last time. In the future, the time will be controlled to within half an hour. May I ask if Mr. Gu is feeling unwell?”

“No.” Gu Shen looked at his eyes and shook his head slightly.

“That’s good.” Yan Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She bent down to roll down Gu Shen’s pants.

During this time, she touched Gu Shen’s knee again, but he no longer felt anything.

As if that feeling was something he’d imagined.
