Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Declaring His Sovereignty
Back then, Qi Anran was easily seduced by Han Ningzhen, and this Gu Wei… couldn’t be the sa, right?
She was worried the doctor next to her would see her dejected appearance, so she said, “I’m going to get so fruit.”
The night’s celebration featured a buffet that was fully stocked.
When she reached the cantaloupe section and had just picked up a slice, soone approached her.
“Ah Xi…”
Su ixi looked up to see a disheartened Qi Anran.
She didn’t want to engage with him, so she picked up the cantaloupe and was about to leave, but Qi Anran blocked her, “Ah Xi, don’t I owe you an apology?”
How rare.
When he was with Han Ningzhen, he chased her for the 2,000 yuan car repair fee and even wanted to get physical when she didn’t pay. Why didn’t he offer an apology then?
“What do you want?” Su ixi asked.
Qi Anran’s gaze was as gentle and cautious as when they used to date.
“Ah Xi, I hope we can still be friends.”
“Sorry, I don’t want to be friends with you. Once we break up, it’s over for good,” Su ixi said.
“I had no idea Han Ningzhen was such a person. Seeing her performance tonight, I guess she wants to seduce your boyfriend. Honestly, it’s hard for n to resist her temptation. Ah Xi, you should be ntally prepared.”
Su ixi’s heart felt like it had been hamred by a stone.
On the other side, Gu Wei glanced at the place where Su ixi had been sitting but didn’t see her.
Hundreds of hospital staff mbers were present that night, and he was looking for her among them.
Han Ningzhen approached him at that mont, her words laced with sarcasm, “Looking for Dr. Su? She probably doesn’t have ti for you. She’s being all lovey-dovey with her ex-boyfriend right now, see for yourself!”
Han Ningzhen gestured at the fruit area.
Gu Wei then saw Su ixi speaking with Qi Anran.
Su ixi had her back to him, but from Qi Anran’s expression, it was evident he was eager to rekindle their relationship.
Han Ningzhen continued, “You don’t know yet? Dr. Qi and I broke up because he said he still has feelings for Dr. Su, so I set him free.”
At that mont, Gu Wei’s chest ached.
He was about to go over, but then he hesitated, what was he supposed to do?
Of course, to assert his claim.
But how should he assert it so that it was both reasonable and didn’t make him seem domineering?
Five seconds later, an idea ford in his mind.
He walked toward Su ixi with a plate of food.
Su ixi, who had just been heartbroken, stood there dazed.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wei’s tall figure appeared in front of her, standing between her and Qi Anran.
“Ah Xi,” Gu Wei said tenderly.
Su ixi looked at Gu Wei, and then at Han Ningzhen, who had also followed.
Anger surged in her heart, and she wanted to leave.
However, Gu Wei suddenly offered a piece of roasted at to her mouth with his fork, “Ah Xi, have so food. Didn’t you say you wanted so barbecue?”
Su ixi: “…”
What kind of move was this?
But the barbecue was what she had wanted to eat, so she planned to take the fork and eat herself.
Gu Wei looked into her eyes, “Don’t get your hands dirty, I’ll feed you.”
“This…” Su ixi glanced around.
Because of Han Ningzhen and Qi Anran, their group had beco the center of attention, and everyone was watching.
It was clear to everyone that Han Ningzhen wanted to hook up with Gu Wei.
It was also clear to everyone that Qi Anran wanted to win back Su ixi.
The key point was her and Gu Wei.
Now that Gu Wei wanted to feed her, he was probably trying to assert his claim.
So, she opened her mouth and ate the piece of roasted at.
Gu Wei waited for her to finish the barbecue, then fed her a piece of roast pork. “There’s this too, it’s pretty good, you should try it.”
Su ixi ate it, then picked up a slice of Hami lon and held it to his mouth. “You should have so fruit too.”
Gu Wei bit into it at once.
Thus, they fed each other, back and forth.
Behind them, Han Ningzhen turned away in a huff, seething with annoyance.
Hmph, what’s so great about Su ixi? She couldn’t believe it; sooner or later, she’d make Gu Wei kneel under her skirt.
Qi Anran also walked away, feeling despondent.
…
Tuesday morning ca in the blink of an eye.
Su ixi still rembered that Gu Wei said he would take her to see his grandfather that day.
The grandfather was the most important elder in a family; his willingness to take her to see his grandfather ant that Gu Wei wanted her to be part of his family.
She dressed up specially for the occasion. Although she normally didn’t wear makeup, today she applied foundation, lipstick, and blush, and after washing her hair, tied it into a braid.
When she ca out to the living room, Gu Wei was already waiting for her.
Upon seeing her, he gazed at her intently.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Do I… look bad?”
Gu Wei continued to stare. “You look beautiful, like you turned on a beauty filter!”
Su ixi couldn’t help but giggle. “You really know how to complint.”
Gu Wei then said, “We might have to stay overnight at Grandpa’s place tonight, have you packed a change of clothes?”
“It’s all in my bag,” Su ixi said, carrying a white backpack with her today.
She continued to inquire, “Shouldn’t we buy so fruit to bring with us? Do you know what kind of fruit Grandpa likes to eat? Or should we bring so tobacco or alcohol as a gift?”
Gu Wei replied, “I’ve already prepared everything. Grandpa is dear to ; he loves the most and will be happy just to see .”
Hearing his words, Su ixi felt reassured.
…
They left the house shortly after.
Only once in the car did Su ixi find out that he had already co down in the morning. In the car, besides his backpack, there was a box of cherries and a bag of snacks.
Gu Wei handed her the bag of snacks. “It’s a long journey, and if you get hungry, have so of these snacks.”
She opened the bag to see biscuits, sunflower seeds, nuts, and potato chips inside.
She didn’t really like snacks and said, “I’ll hold on to them; I’ll eat them if I get bored.”
Gu Wei nodded.
Once on the road, Su ixi realized the significance of the bag of snacks.
Today he was driving, and she sat in the passenger seat.
The two of them were usually short on words and seldom made small talk. Now, sitting in the car, if they did nothing, it would beco awkward.
Moreover, it was a 50-kiloter drive to his grandfather’s house, which would take at least an hour.
She couldn’t help but open a packet of potato chips and begin eating.
As long as her mouth was moving, there was no need to talk.
It wasn’t too bad driving in the city at first—there were plenty of cars, and they occasionally had to wait for traffic lights, keeping their eyes busy.
But once they left the city, the scenery beca greener, with more flyovers and less to see. Su ixi suddenly felt a bit guilty for eating by herself.
She asked Gu Wei, “Do you want so?”
While driving, Gu Wei responded, “I can’t eat while I’m driving.”
“Then… what do you want to eat? Shall I feed you?”
Without hesitation, he said, “Nuts, please, and thank you.”
Su ixi opened a pack of Daily Nuts.
Upon opening it, she realized it also contained raisins and other dried fruits. Feeding him one piece at a ti seed endless, so she simply poured half of the pack into the palm of her hand and then presented it near his mouth.
He glanced downward and began to eat like a puppy.
Su ixi felt his lips, even his tongue, touch the palm of her hand. It was moist, warm, like an electric shock, sending sensations throughout her body.
