Qin Se’s face was getting redder, and so were her ears. She just couldn’t meet Gu Jingyuan in the eyes!
‘Well, my feet are indeed hurting. I need a hug!’
His logic… did seem to make sense. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
However, Qin Se was fretting. Somehow, she had a feeling that he was… teasing her?
She looked at the cold and abstinent face of Gu Jingyuan and gulped. Did this situation fit the saying of flirting with a straight face?!
She felt so shy!
Like… awfully shy!!!
Gu Jingyuan carried Qin Se in his arms all the way into the hospital. The people he had brought with him were all busy handling the aftermath of the incident.
For instance, they needed to catch the driver and report the incident to the police.
Gu Jingyuan took Qin Se into the hospital and made it mandatory for her to have a full-body check-up.
As the honorary president of this hospital, Croesus, his patient naturally received special care for the entire procedure with the green light.
Although Qin Se had insisted that she was fine and didn’t need further examination, Gu Jingyuan still demanded it.
When the examination was done, they had some time in between waiting for the results to come out. Qin Se said to Gu Jingyuan hesitantly, “Uncle, thank you… if it weren’t for you today…”
Gu Jingyuan’s icy voice rang out, “It would be bothersome to collect your dead body!”
He was standing beside Qin Se. His body was long and slender, and his character was firm and steadfast. You could apply all the best adjectives you could think of to him.
Right, apart from his mischievous mouth…
Qin Se had prepared a lot of words of gratitude in her mind. She was even ready to say to him that she wanted to give him a banner to praise his bravery.
However, his response was that it would have been bothersome to collect her dead body…
So, what Gu Jingyuan meant was that he had only rescued her to save him the burden of collecting her corpse, not because he was happy to help.
Qin Se rubbed on her pained chest thanks to Gu Jingyuan’s verbal attack. She refused to lower herself to his standards.
“Right… well, I still want to express my gratitude to you, Uncle. After all, if it weren’t for you, I would be a messed-up corpse by now…”
Gu Jingyuan glanced at Qin Se’s hand from the corner of his eye. “Well, how would you like to thank me?”
“I…” Qin Se opened her mouth but wasn’t sure how the conversation should carry on.
Then, she saw Gu Jingyuan’s sarcastic smile on his cold face. It was almost as if he was saying-I knew it, you said it randomly without any sincerity!
Qin Se raised her hand and protested, “I’m very genuine!”
Gu Jingyuan remained skeptical. “Oh… genuine?”
“Either way, isn’t it that service begets happiness, and that one shouldn’t ask for anything in return for kindness?” Qin Se truly thought that Gu Jingyuan simply never followed the social standard. What happened to the old saying of good deeds expecting no return?!
Gu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”
“Haha…” The cold laugh released by Gu Jingyuan made Qin Se’s scalp prickly.
“I will pay you back. I definitely will…”
Subsequently, Gu Jingyuan uncrossed his long legs and stood in front of her. He then reached out and wrapped his arms around her, pressing her into his arms.
Qin Se struggled and shouted, “Hey, what are you doing?! I’m warning you, I’m a decent woman! Don’t you try to take advantage of me…”
Gu Jingyuan frowned. “You were the one asking for a hug1, though?”
The muscles on Qin Se’s face twitched. “I was referring to repaying your kindness, repaying the favor, not… this type of hug…”
Gu Jingyuan slowly released her and looked down at her from the top of her head. “Oh… repaying the debt of gratitude, the kindness of saving a life…”
Qin Se’s recalled a classic TV show line in the back of her mind-“the debt of saving one’s life needs to be repaid with marriage”.
She shivered and shook her head. She was overthinking it.
Qin Se said slowly, “What do you think about it if I split half of the money I will gain from my divorce?”
“You are offering me things that I need the least. Have you fed your sincerity to the dog?”
“Then tell me, what do you lack? I have already offered you everything that I own…”
Gu Jingyuan leaned down. His forehead almost pressed against hers, he said, “I lack a wife!”
