"It's just a small wound. It will scab over tomorrow." Shen Tingnuo didn't take it seriously and wanted to pull his hand back.

However, Gu Yanchi clenched his palm tightly to prevent the little hand from being pulled away. "Tell me, what happened?"

Shen Tingnuo lowered his head and said sullenly, "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Gu Yanchi cleared his throat, "Then I really don't care..."

Before he could finish, Shen Tingnuo interrupted him immediately, "I went to a private party hosted by Zhou Wang tonight. I originally wanted to look for you, but you were not there, and the second-generation ancestor of the Qin family took the opportunity to bully me. I, I... accidentally hit him on the head with a wine bottle..."

The more she talked, the more guilty and insecure she felt.

"Is the other party seriously injured? Did anyone see you hitting him?" Gu Yanchi asked seriously.

Shen Tingnuo thought about Qin Zuan's injury and said uncertainly: "It should be serious."

She continued: "I led him to the fire escape before I did it. No one saw it, and there was no surveillance camera capturing it."

On the contrary, she took ugly photos of that rich kid, but she didn't dare to say it.

"You have become a lot smarter." Gu Yanchi was surprised. He slid his wheelchair into the room, found the medical box and returned to the balcony.

Shen Tingnuo carefully observed his expression, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Gu Yanchi lowered his eyes and skillfully applied medicine to the wound on her hand.

Shen Tingnuo gritted his teeth and said, "I, I haven't contacted you for so long..."

After being reborn, she deliberately avoided contact with Gu Yanchi.

In her previous life, she had never been able to pursue Fu Xiuyan, and she had wanted to marry into the Gu family as Shen Cong requested, and they were both preparing for their wedding.

Although Gu Yanchi didn't show it on the surface at the time, Shen Tingnuo could feel that he was happy and even looking forward to it.

As a result, when the wedding was approaching, Shen Cong suddenly said one day that Fu Xiuyan would marry her. Shen Tingnuo was very happy and immediately cut off contact with Gu Yanchi and did not hold the wedding without any explanation.

She felt extremely guilty at that time, and as she felt she owed something, she intentionally avoided Gu Yanchi.

Not long after she married Fu Xiuyan and got her marriage certificate and everything was settled, she heard the news that Gu Yanchi was going abroad.

Some people said that he was hurt, so he left sadly.

Some people also said that he lost face and went abroad to avoid the limelight.

There were many different opinions about the reasons why Gu Yanchi went abroad. For a while, the eldest son of the Gu family became a laughing stock in the circle because of her.

As the person who hurt him, Shen Tingnuo did not have the courage to contact him, and until her death, she was unable to say "I'm sorry" to Gu Yanchi.

After hearing her words, Gu Yanchi paused and said calmly, "I didn't contact you either."

"This is different." Shen Tingnuo muttered.

Their identities were destined to be unequal. She contacted him because Shen Cong wanted to climb up, and she came with a purpose. As the top of the pyramid, Gu Yanchi did not need to be compatible with her.

Understanding the deeper meaning of the girl's words, Gu Yanchi put down the cotton swab in his hand and tore off a few Band-Aids to put on her wound.

"Shen Tingnuo, just remember that you are trying to please me for the sake of profit. You don't need to feel any burden."

He spoke calmly, clearly and objectively. He knew Shen Tingnuo's purpose in getting close to him, and he was even more aware of his own value in the Shen family.

The man's words were so rational that they turned into invisible slaps that slapped Shen Tingnuo several times, and the guilt she felt faded a little.

From the beginning, they understood each other's value.

The Shen family wants the Gu family's money and power.

Gu Yanchi wants Shen Tingnuo's youthful vitality and companionship.

It was an equal transaction between their two families, so there was no need for any other unnecessary emotions.

Shen Tingnuo realized this and felt a little melancholy. Perhaps, whether in the last life or this life, she was just a beautiful vase placed in Gu Yanchi's home, not even a friend.

A terrifyingly calm man.

She concluded secretly, but said: "I know, but I still want to say sorry to you!"

This apology was said to Gu Yanchi from the previous life, because he was stood up at the last minute without any explanation, which made him lose face.

Gu Yanchi stared at the girl, as if wondering what her "I'm sorry" meant, even though he had clearly made it clear.

According to Shen Tingnuo's personality, he should have climbed up the pole instead of being so humble and weak like he is now.

Just as he had this thought, he heard Shen Tingnuo taking advantage of the situation and said shyly, "Brother Yan Chi, can you give me a little space in your room tonight?"

She pinched it between her thumb and index finger, staring at the man with sparkling eyes.

Gu Yanchi laughed. Even though Shen Tingnuo in front of him had grown up, he was still the follower he knew, the little scoundrel who would cry at the slightest provocation and climb up the pole.

"What if I don't tell?" He deliberately put on a stern face.

Shen Tingnuo said miserably, "It's just one night. I beg you, Brother Yan Chi. If even you don't help me, I really don't know what to do. You know my dad's temper very well. If he knew that I smashed Qin Zuan's head, he would definitely beat me to death."

"Don't worry, you are still valuable and he won't touch you easily in the short term." Gu Yanchi said bluntly.

Shen Tingnuo was hurt by his reckless words. Although these words were unpleasant to hear, they were so realistic that they could not be more realistic.

In the past, she would definitely be able to squeeze out a few tears, but after tonight, she no longer expected Shen Cong to have any conscience towards her.

"I don't care, you have to take me in tonight!"

She insisted on staying, thinking that staying in the Gu family was the safest option.

"You're relying on me?"

"Well, it's up to you!"

Gu Yanchi pointed at the sofa casually and said, "You can only sleep on the sofa. You are not allowed to climb into my bed in the middle of the night."

When Shen Tingnuo saw that he had given in, he immediately showed a triumphant smile and pounced on the soft big sofa in three or two steps.

A faint smile flashed across Gu Yanchi's eyes, but his tone was full of disdain: "You lie on the sofa without even washing your feet, Shen Tingnuo, are you dirty?"

"It's not dirty, it's not dirty. I put my feet on the ground and won't dirty your sofa." Shen Tingnuo hugged the furry pillow.

Gu Yanchi glanced at her pink soles and said, "Go wash your feet, or you can sleep in the guest room."

Shen Tingnuo, who had originally planned to sleep like this, immediately sat up and walked quickly towards the bathroom.

You must be kidding. If she goes to the guest room to sleep, it will definitely alarm the housekeeper. If the housekeeper knows she is coming, it means that Mother Gu also knows.

If Gu's mother knew about this, she would definitely copy the dictionary until dawn.

From childhood to adulthood, she couldn't count how many times her mother Gu had punished her by making her copy dictionaries, and the reason was always that she was too naughty!

Just kidding, in front of the Gu family, except for Gu Yanchi, she has been very low-key. It's just that Gu's mother doesn't like her very much and deliberately makes trouble for her. What's most cowardly is that she doesn't dare to resist.
