170: I'm Not Fooling Around, Okay

I'm Not Fooling Around, Okay

Gu Yichen nodded.

"I know. Director Pei just told me."

Jiang Tingxu looked at the time.

"Alright then, please excuse me. I still have to clock in."

But Gu Yichen called out to her again.

"Wait, wait, wait."

"Yes?"

Gu Yichen leaned closer to Jiang Tingxu's ear and said something only the two of them could hear.

"When did you get married? And to the Mo family?"

Huh?

He could see the confusion on Jiang Tingxu's face. Gu Yichen continued.

"I was at the banquet last night."

So that was why.

Last night, Mo Boyuan, that b*stard, had made such a big deal out of it. Everyone present knew.

She grumbled in her heart once more before saying,

"Keep this to yourself, don't go about gossiping."

Gu Yichen immediately snorted,

"Am I that kind of person? But does my cousin know? After all, my cousin and that person are publicly known sworn enemies."

Who would have known that the sworn enemies had such a complicated relationship?

If word got out, everyone's jaws would probably drop.

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

"I really don't know. I haven't seen him for many years."

Gu Yichen shrugged.

"Alright, Alright. Hurry up and clock in. I won't keep you any longer."

Heh. So he was aware that he's in the way.

After Jiang Tingxu had left, Pei Rusi couldn't help but ask,

"Your family is close to Dr. Jiang?"

Gu Yichen didn't deny it.

"Not quite. She's close with my brother and aunt."

He would definitely not say anything more detailed.

That would involve the family secrets.

Pei Rusi was not a nosy person, so he left it at that and said,

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

...

Jiang Tingxu frowned as she walked all the way to the office.

Gu Yichen came to find Aunt Wen?

Was it by chance, or was it on purpose?

Could it be that something had happened to the Gu family again?

She was a little worried. Although she didn't know everything about what happened to the Gu family back then, she knew a little.

Why did he come to find Aunt Wen today?

Did Gu Ranzhi know about this?

Her frown deepened. She didn't even notice the head nurse standing in front of her. The head nurse called her a few times before she finally came back to her senses.

"Huh?"

"Dr. Jiang, What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Jiang Tingxu shook her head.

"No, no. I was just thinking about something. What's up?"

The head nurse smiled.

"Nothing. I saw that you were distracted from afar. I thought you were sick!"

Jiang Tingxu also smiled.

"I'm doing great." As she said that, she stretched her neck. The mark left by a certain someone after biting her yesterday was exposed.

The head nurse noticed and felt uneasy.

Then, she remembered what Dr. Jiang had said about preparation for something.

"Ahem, Dr. Jiang, your..."

When she where the head nurse was pointing at, Jiang Tingxu shivered. She hurriedly adjusted her collar to cover the mark.

Her face could not help but turn red.

"Umm...umm..."

Could she really say that it was nothing but a bite?

However, it seemed that the more she explained, the more suspicious she might seem.

The head nurse reached out and patted Jiang Tingxu. She said earnestly,

"We're all adults. It's fine as long as you think clearly about what you want. The rest is not that important."1

Umm...

Jiang Tingxu really wanted to cry.

She really, really did not do anything reckless, okay?

What the head nurse was really trying to say was clear to Jiang Tingxu. After all, Jiang Tingxu was no teenager. Her son was already in kindergarten.

But it was really a misunderstanding!
