Chapter 40

Guan Yu: “…”

"If your ears aren't working well, go to the hospital and register." She forced a smile and gritted her teeth, "I said I want to drink some water!"

"Oh."

The big devil felt guilty and lowered his voice. People always appear busy when they are embarrassed. He pretended to be calm and then picked up the full cup of water.

Guan Yu began to feel dizzy again. She sat back on the bed, watching Ji Jinzhou's actions, and couldn't help but say, "Don't drink..."

"Is this from yesterday?" Ji Jinzhou said unhappily, "You're almost dying and you're still asking me to drink water. Take care of yourself."

"I mean..." Guan Yu took a deep breath, "Don't drink my water.

It cools down easily.”

Ji Jinzhou: "......"

He silently put the cup back to its original place.

How can there be such a stingy woman who doesn't even give me a drink of water?

He couldn't help but glance at Guan Yu who was sitting beside the bed. She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. She stared absentmindedly at the soft carpet on the floor. The warm yellow light shone on her profile, softening her outline.

"I fainted just now. Everyone must be scared, right?" Guan Yu raised her eyes with worry on her face.

"Yeah, especially those staff members." Ji Jinzhou was burned by her unexpected gaze, and turned away without mentioning himself. Seeing that Guan Yu's brows were tightly knitted, he hesitated for a while and changed his words, "Actually, you don't have to be so..."

Before she even finished her words, Guan Yu's face broke into a huge smile, "They deserved to be scared to death. They always secretly scold me."

Ji Jinzhou:?

This woman was so scheming. She actually put on a melancholy expression to deceive him just now. He was really deceived by her appearance.

"How long will this water last? Can we pull it out now? I want to go home."

"Sit down and wait until you finish the infusion. I'll take you home." Ji Jinzhou's voice did not allow for any argument. He sat on the sofa and picked up the documents that Special Assistant Gu had sent him and flipped through them.

"You were obviously taking a nap just now, but now you are pretending to be busy. It's too artificial." Guan Yu complained.

Ji Jinzhou had gradually gotten used to this woman constantly sabotaging him, and he didn't even raise his eyes, "Leave me alone."

Time passed bit by bit, and a tranquil atmosphere spread in the quiet room. The aromatherapy sticks on the table slowly burned out along with the medicine in the drip bottle. The two people were doing their own things. The faint sounds of mobile phones and turning pages drowned out their breathing, but they didn't feel awkward at all.

Guan Yu pulled out the needle and pressed the bleeding spot with cotton. "Okay, you can go now."

"Okay." Ji Jinzhou raised his hand to check the time on his watch, finally stood up, and called Special Assistant Gu to drive over. "When we get downstairs, you go upstairs first. I've asked someone to prepare food."

"Aren't you going back with me?"

"I have to go out for something." He spoke briefly and to the point. Under the light, it was hard to tell the man's true intention or expression. All he could see was that his Adam's apple seemed to roll up and down nervously.

"I know!" Guan Yu pretended to be sad and widened her eyes, "You want to go out and find a woman, right?!"

As soon as Ji Jinzhou opened his mouth, his dramatic wife began to talk to herself, directing and acting, "Are you doing this to me? If you do this, I will retaliate - the property will be divided twice in the divorce."

"I'm not looking for a woman." Ji Jinzhou turned his face away, "It's an old man."

Guan Yu: "...You will provide for my old age?"

Sometimes Ji Jinzhou really wanted to open Guan Yu’s head and see what was inside.

"It's my dad. He asked me to go back to attend the family dinner," he exhaled, "I thought after what happened the day before yesterday, you might not want to go, so I pushed it off for you."

"Family dinner? Why do you have family dinners every day?" Arguing with a group of scholars is indeed very exhausting. Guan Yu doesn't want to deal with those people for the time being.

Seeing her expression still showing a little regret, Ji Jinzhou almost laughed out of anger, "There is no other way. Those rich people have nothing to do, so they can only hold a banquet. However, today's banquet is a little bigger than the one the day before yesterday, and it will be held in the banquet hall of Jinji Grand Hyatt Pavilion."

"Economy banquet hall?" she said casually, "You rich people also rent economy ones?"
