Although she knew Gu Jia Ning was concerned about the patient from a doctor’s perspective and rembered him.
It still delighted Li Tingxuan.
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Gu. I’ll pass it on."
"That’s good then." Gu Jia Ning had nothing more to say and intended to turn around and leave.
"Doctor Gu..." Yet, just as they were about to pass each other, Li Tingxuan called out to her.
Li Tingxuan gazed at her brows and eyes, hesitated for a mont, and still said, "Doctor Gu, I’m sorry, for what Li Shuyao did to you before..."
It was only later, after the fake Li Shuyao incident was discovered, that Li Tingxuan realized, just because she was jealous that Sheng Zexi married Gu Jia Ning, Li Shuyao had attempted to harm Gu Jia Ning multiple tis.
Gu Jia Ning was lucky; otherwise, she would have been hard by Li Shuyao long ago.
That fake Li Shuyao was truly malicious.
At first, he thought, having grown up together, there would be so sibling affection between them.
But later, he realized that if Li Shuyao truly treated him as a brother and had any feelings for him, she wouldn’t have leaked the secret about his mission.
It should be known that while getting PTSD from that failed mission was mild, if not for luck, he could have died directly.
So, since Li Shuyao had no feelings for him as a brother, why should he have any feelings?
Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect Li Tingxuan to apologize to her because of Li Shuyao’s matters.
She shook her head and said, "That has nothing to do with you; you don’t need to apologize."
In reality, the Li family was also a victim.
The real Li Shuyao had died long ago; the one pretending was an imposter.
So, when she found out that the fake Li Shuyao was from Country R, she no longer blad Li Tingxuan.
"Ningning..."
At this mont, Gu Jia Ning heard a familiar call.
Gu Jia Ning looked up to see Sheng Zexi walking towards her briskly.
Gu Jia Ning quickly responded, "Comrade Li, my husband is here to pick up. I’ll leave now."
"Okay."
Li Tingxuan watched as Gu Jia Ning cheerfully walked towards Sheng Zexi.
As they locked eyes, Sheng Zexi’s gaze seed indifferent, as if it could instantly see through him.
For a mont, Li Tingxuan awkwardly looked away, feeling that Sheng Zexi had seen through his mind.
Over here, Sheng Zexi coldly looked at Li Tingxuan.
This Li Tingxuan, his appearance, his aura, isn’t he just a high-end version of Wen Zhqing?
That was the type Ningning used to like.
Ningning towards Li Tingxuan...
Although Sheng Zexi could be sure that Ningning’s heart was currently with him, this Li Tingxuan, his intentions were not simple.
"Brother Xi, what are you looking at? Let’s go ho." At this mont, Gu Jia Ning’s voice brought Sheng Zexi’s mind back.
Sheng Zexi took Gu Jia Ning’s hand and led her in the direction of ho. He then casually asked, "Were you just talking to Li Tingxuan?"
"Hmm, do you know Li Tingxuan?"
"Of course I know." That’s Li Tingxuan, the pride of our Beijing Mansion, the typical ’soone else’s child.’
Back then, when the old man at ho scolded him, he used to compare him with Li Tingxuan.
Saying he was inferior to Li Tingxuan in every aspect, and not as obedient as Li Tingxuan.
Sheng Zexi dismissed this; in modern terms, he never accepted anyone’s PUA.
Sheng Zexi was very confident; he thought he was fine the way he was.
He would always strive harder but never compare himself to others.
But now...
In front of Gu Jia Ning, at this mont, Sheng Zexi found himself comparing for the first ti.
If, if back then, he and Li Tingxuan had both asked Ningning to marry them, would Ningning have chosen him or Li Tingxuan?
For the first ti, Sheng Zexi was unsure, and even felt sowhat inferior.
Love really can make one lose confidence.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Jia Ning noticed sothing was off and asked.
"What did you just talk about with Li Tingxuan?" Sheng Zexi asked.
As soon as he spoke, Sheng Zexi regretted it.
He knew he shouldn’t have asked, especially in such a sowhat aggressive tone.
Gu Jia Ning, however, didn’t think much of it and openly shared what she had just talked about with Li Tingxuan.
Sheng Zexi knew they hadn’t talked about anything significant, but still...
Gu Jia Ning could tell he still seed off.
However, she didn’t ask further for the ti being.
On their way back, the two remained silent.
Sheng Zexi felt very uneasy.
It’s over, it’s over, is Ningning mad at ?
Sheng Zexi, why couldn’t you just hold your focus?
So, upon returning ho and greeting his grandmother, Sheng Zexi pulled Gu Jia Ning into their room.
As soon as the door closed, Sheng Zexi tightly hugged Gu Jia Ning.
"I’m sorry."
Just as Gu Jia Ning was about to speak, she heard his muffled apology coming from her shoulder.
Gu Jia Ning’s eyes flickered slightly, "Oh, why are you saying sorry?"
"I shouldn’t have asked you in that tone, and I shouldn’t, shouldn’t have..."
The man stamred, finally squeezing out the words "been jealous."
Gu Jia Ning realized it then; he was jealous.
Thinking of Li Tingxuan’s type, then considering Wen Zhqing’s appearance, Gu Jia Ning instantly understood.
"Ningning, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be jealous."
"I just think Li Tingxuan doesn’t have good intentions."
"Why can’t he just stay at Beijing Military District, yet he wants to transfer to the Northwest Military Region."
"Even purposely talking to you, he’s definitely up to no good."
"Ningning, that guy’s not good. Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance; who knows what he’s really like."
"Don’t be deceived by him."
Hearing his words, Gu Jia Ning found it both funny and annoying.
"I was the one who initiated the conversation; he probably didn’t have those intentions."
Gu Jia Ning explained, feeling that Li Tingxuan’s eyes showed no overt emotions.
So, it probably wasn’t like brother Xi said.
"You’re just overthinking it."
Sheng Zexi: I’m not overthinking; it’s just a man’s instinct when facing a rival in love.
Nevertheless, since Gu Jia Ning said so, he didn’t say much more.
He just hugged Gu Jia Ning, feeling wronged, like a big puppy that had suffered a great grievance outside and was now seeking comfort from its owner at ho.
If others at the military could see Sheng Zexi like this, they would be utterly shocked.
Vice Commander Sheng, are you still the legendary Jade-faced Yama like this?
Sheng Zexi: What Jade-faced Yama? I just want to hug my wife, I just want my wife to care for more and not be chard away by so flashy outsider.
The way Sheng Zexi acted indeed made Gu Jia Ning find it both funny and lovable.
Actually, Gu Jia Ning wasn’t even mad.
The silence on the way back was more out of feeling it was inappropriate outside; she wanted to talk to him at ho.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even said anything, yet he had talked so much and even apologized.
Gu Jia Ning: Since you’re apologizing, should I just accept it?
