I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

She was just about to take out the jade pendant when Lin Tingran came in and interrupted her.

"mom,"

Jiang Xuxu quickly put away the jade pendant, composed herself, and pretended to be nonchalant.

"Ranran, weren't you supposed to be resting at the hotel? Why are you back?" Zhuo Manqing looked up at her gently.

Lin Tingran walked straight over, and Jiang Xuxu quickly made way for her.

"Mom, I feel more at ease staying by your side, and besides, my cold is much better now, you see."

Lin Tingran stood up, turned around, and continued, "Xuxu has been keeping you company these past few days, and I also want her to get some rest."

"Right? Xuxu." She turned around playfully and smiled.

Jiang Xuxu nodded blankly, "Alright, Aunt Lin just woke up, let Tingran keep you company."

Seeing that there was no chance to ask, she had no choice but to give up for now, thinking that there would be plenty of time to find her relatives in the future.

The most important thing right now is that Zhuo Manqing's condition is stable.

Jiang Xuxu smiled and turned to leave.

At the door, Gu Jingshen was leaning against the wall. Seeing her come out, he took the initiative to say, "I'll take you to the hotel to rest."

"No need, I can go by myself. You stay here, in case they need help—"

"There are nurses in the hospital." Gu Jingshen ignored her and pulled her hand downstairs to the car.

Lin Tingran stood in the stairwell watching the two struggle, a smile appearing on her lips.

Just now, Jiang Xuxu almost reunited with Zhuo Manqing and her daughter in the hospital room.

She absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!

As for Gu Jingshen, with his father's dying words and his mother's instructions, there's no fear that he'll run away.

She had to stay and take care of her mother tonight, otherwise how would she have a chance to make her move?

On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Xuxu didn't speak to Gu Jingshen at all.

These past few days, Jiang Xuxu stayed at the hospital to keep her company, and Gu Jingshen didn't book a hotel room either.

Each time, he would drop Lin Tingran off downstairs and then return to the hospital.

At the front desk, Gu Jingshen took out his ID card and said, "I'll get a room."

Jiang Xuxu, who was standing not far away, suddenly narrowed her eyes. She only heard the receptionist say "third floor" before heading towards the elevator.

After she left, the receptionist said, "If two people are checking in, their ID cards need to be registered."

Gu Jingshen glanced at Jiang Xuxu as she entered the elevator and smiled, saying, "I live alone."

Inside the room, Jiang Xuxu looked around and realized that she had booked a deluxe suite.

"You can rest well here tonight." Gu Jingshen handed her the room key and turned to leave.

Jiang Xuxu blurted out instinctively, "Don't you live here?"

She thought Gu Jingshen only booked one room for two people, and she even prepared her lines for refusing.

He's actually leaving?

Gu Jingshen tightened his grip on the doorknob. "I have something to do, I won't be back tonight."

"Mm." Jiang Xuxu nodded with her back to him.

Sure enough, he went to accompany whoever was staying at the hospital, not because he was anything special.

Hearing the door close, Jiang Xuxu chuckled self-deprecatingly and began to take off her clothes and change her shoes.

I didn't get enough rest at the hospital, so I need to take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep tonight!

The bathroom was filled with steam, which quickly became covered by a thick layer of fog.

Her fair, long legs were faintly visible in the mist, and her long hair reached her waist, giving Jiang Xuxu a relaxed and carefree feeling.

"They still don't learn their lesson."

At the bathroom door, as soon as Gu Jingshen finished speaking, Jiang Xuxu was startled and almost slipped and fell.

Turning around, she saw a figure leaning against the door, and immediately pulled a bath towel to cover half of her body.

They even forgot to turn off the tap.

"You...you didn't leave, did you?"

Gu Jingshen smiled wryly, "I just closed the door, I didn't leave. If you ask me—"

Whoosh!

The bathroom door opened, and Jiang Xuxu, her face flushed and tinged with anger, said, "Are you a pervert?"

Gu Jingshen glanced down, his expression calm. "Wrap yourself in a damp towel, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Mind your own business!"

Bang!

The door closed, Gu Jingshen lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, then walked towards the sofa.

The water in the bathroom continued to run. He sat down, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and glanced back towards the bathroom.

My heart is pounding.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and warned himself not to harbor any ill intentions towards Jiang Xuxu.

Otherwise, in her eyes, I would be no different from a pervert.

He was originally going out to run errands, but when he entered the elevator, he saw Lu Chen hiding at the hotel entrance.

The memory of Jiang Xuxu being photographed by Lu Chen at the hotel was still fresh in his mind; he would never let any danger get near her.

After taking a shower, Jiang Xuxu didn't wrap herself in a towel, but instead put on a pure white plush nightgown.

It's strangely cute.

Gu Jingshen glanced back at her, then looked down at his phone screen and continued the meeting.

Still busy so late?

Jiang Xuxu quietly walked to the bedside and quickly crawled into the covers.

She didn't plan to let Gu Jingshen climb into her bed tonight, since there was a sofa available.

"...Okay, I'll go back in a couple of days."

After hanging up the video call, Gu Jingshen looked up at Jiang Xuxu, who was staring blankly at her phone screen.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Gu Jingshen approached.

Jiang Xuxu instinctively dodged away, "I'm ordering takeout."

I almost forgot, she didn't eat much in the afternoon.

Gu Jingshen took her phone away, his voice gentle: "Don't order anymore, I'll take you out to eat."

Jiang Xuxu looked at him, then at her own freshly showered body, and said, "Forget it, it's too late."

The next second, Gu Jingshen pulled the person out of bed, "No matter how late it is, you can't go hungry, or you'll get a stomachache."

Then he handed her his coat and put it on her, saying, "It's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Xuxu froze on the spot.

In the past, no one ever cared whether she had enough to eat or enough to wear.

Gu Jingshen always manages to touch the softest spot in her heart at just the right moment.

The wind was chilly in late autumn.

Jiang Xuxu was wearing a fluffy pajama underneath, and even with an extra coat, she was still shivering and curled up in a ball.

Gu Jingshen gently pulled her into his arms, yet maintained a gentlemanly distance.

He didn't want Jiang Xuxu to feel that he was taking advantage of her.

The two walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the entrance of a private kitchen.

As you push open the door, a warm, inviting aroma of food wafts towards you.

They found a private room by the window where they could enjoy the night view of the street while eating.

We had barely sat down when the dishes began to be served.

There was ginkgo and lily bulb pork rib congee, crab roe and shrimp, and a serving of golden salted egg yolk chicken wings...

"Eating such greasy food so late at night will make you fat."

Jiang Xuxu complained, but her eyes were already glued to the plate, and she couldn't help but swallow.

These are all foods she loves to eat but can't bear to eat.

"It would be good if you gained some weight."

Gu Jingshen joked, then put a shrimp into her bowl.

How did you know I like to eat these?

I've seen it on your WeChat Moments.

Jiang Xuxu lowered her head awkwardly. It was a recipe she had tried to learn from Lin Tingran after eating it once.

It failed.

But that was a post from several years ago on WeChat Moments, and he actually scrolled to the bottom of it.

Cunning man!

Jiang Xuxu took a bite, and the taste was as usual, no, it was even better!

During the time, the two of them had a couple of drinks, though they weren't really in the mood.

After the meal, Jiang Xuxu was so unsteady on her feet that Gu Jingshen carried her back.

On the way, Jiang Xuxu asked him, "Gu Jingshen, are you this gentle to all girls?"

"Have you ever seen me being gentle with anyone?"

This stumped Jiang Xuxu, as she had indeed never seen it before.

So what? He's still going to marry Lin Tingran anyway.

"What kind of feelings do you have for Tingran?"

Jiang Xuxu was talking nonsense while drunk.
