At night, Yan Xi went to Gu Shen’s room. She sat down casually and said, “I’m going out tomorrow.”
“Where are we going?”
“To attend an academic conference.”
“Let Gu Yi accompany you.”
“No need.” Yan Xi refused. “Gu Yi still needs to take care of you. I can just find a bodyguard. Besides, it’s just an ordinary exchange meeting. There won’t be any danger.”
Gu Shen looked at her and said solemnly, “I’ll be at ease when Gu Yi is with you.”
“So you’re worried about me.”
Gu Shen admitted frankly, “Yes, so are you gonna take Gu Yi along?”
“Sure!”
The next day, Gu Yi planned to drive Yan Xi there. However, there was a traffic jam on the way and they could not see the end of the road. Yan Xi was afraid of arriving late at the communication meeting, so she
brought Gu Yi to take the subway.
It was rare for Gu Yi to take the subway. The moment he went up, he was stunned by the crowd. Yan Xi nimbly dodged to the side and even skillfully occupied a seat. “Come here quickly.”
Gu Yi pursed his lips and did not sit down. He just stood beside Yan Xi.
“Madam, be careful.”
After leaving the subway, Yan Xi followed the navigation and found the hotel.
She checked the name of the hotel and confirmed that it was this place. However, just as she was about to enter, she was grabbed by the shoulder.
Gu Yi immediately appeared and grabbed that person’s wrist to pull him away. He asked vigilantly, “What are you doing?”
“It hurts, it hurts, let go of me.” The man was a tall and big boy. He was fair-skinned and had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. However, his face looked very twisted.
“I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want to borrow some money from this beauty. I’m going to be late for my meeting soon, and the driver is still waiting for me to pay for the car. I’m not lying to you. I can return the
money to you later.”
Gu Yi sized him up carefully and only let go of his hand after confirming that there was no threat.
The boy heaved a sigh of relief and took out a large handful of dollars from his bag. “You can have this.”
Yan Xi looked at the boy curiously and did not take the money. She went to help him pay the fare with her phone.
“It’s probably your first time here, is it? You can just download an app and pay wherever you go.””
“Thank you.” The boy strode forward. When he reached the hotel lobby, he realized that Yan Xi was following him. He slowed down his steps and walked to Yan Xi’s side.
“Are you going to the Neurology Conference too?”
Yan Xi nodded and smiled at him. “What a coincidence.”
However, just as she reached the entrance, Yan Xi was stopped by someone. The security guard in black said with a straight face, “I’m sorry, Miss. You are not allowed to enter without an invitation.”
The smile on Yan Xi’s face froze.
She had always been a VIP in her life and was always the first to be invited by people. She totally forgot that she actually needed an invitation now.
“If you don’t, you can’t go in.”
The security guard was expressionless. “I’m sorry.”
Yan Xi coughed and looked at Gu Yi. “Then is it too late for me to buy one now?”
“Sorry, invitations are not up for sale.”
Gu Yi immediately took out his phone to call Gu Shen, but he was stopped by Yan Xi.
She smiled awkwardly and pulled the boy beside her. “Do you have an invitation?”
“Yes.” Zhou Xu did not understand.
“Take me in with you.” Yan Xi smiled at the security guard. “We came together.”
“Is that so, Mr. Zhou?”
Zhou Xu subconsciously wanted to reject it. “N…”
However, before he could reject it, he let out a cry of pain.
Yan Xi stepped hard on his foot and said, “Do you still remember that I helped you pay for the car just now, so now it’s time for you to repay me.”
Zhou Xu changed his mind. “Oh, sure. Then come in with me.”
With that, he nodded at the security guard. “That’s right. This lady is with me.”
The security guard glanced at Zhou Xu and let them in..
