Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 597 - 598: Doctor Gu, Mr. Min wants to treat you well
Seeing him down, King Jingyao felt satisfied. "Alright, I’m tired too. We should all get some rest."
He continued after a slight pause, "I have a meeting tomorrow. Min Xing, if you have any opinions, just tell Jingchuan. I’ll convey them for you at the meeting."
Min Xing endured as much as he could, his eyes slightly closed. "Is my opinion still important?"
King Jingyao chuckled lightly. "I do value your opinion. You are my right-hand man, after all."
He continued with a concerned tone, "When your shoulder is injured, it feels as if mine is hurt as well. Of course, it’s going to hurt, isn’t it?"
Min Xing was so disgusted that he glared at him. He wished he would leave immediately.
Satisfied, Brother Wang left with the Secretary-General.
Once they had left, Min Xing lay on the hospital bed, silently staring at the ceiling. He then instructed Wang Yuan, "Find out Gu Anxi’s preferences."
Wang Yuan agreed and then advised, "You should rest now. I can handle these things."
"How can I sleep? Just thinking about King Jingyao always lording it over me... And now Zhou Yu is his... I just can’t stomach this." Min Xing spoke and tried to get up from the bed.
His secretary immediately went over to restrain him, comforting him softly, "You should rest."
After a pause, he added, "Doctor Gu is coming tomorrow. We can have a good talk with her. There will always be room to maneuver."
Min Xing grunted in acknowledgment and closed his eyes. But the truth was, he couldn’t sleep at all. He was just resting his eyes. Whenever he closed them, he would remember how Zhou Yu and King Jingyao had a child.
Thinking about this stirred up his anger; he couldn’t contain it.
His secretary, Wang Yuan, comforted him for a long while...
「On the other hand, Brother Wang felt exhilarated.」 Once he got home, he peeled a banana. "Jingchuan, did you see Min Xing’s face?"
Wang Jingchuan, who was nearby, laughed. "How could I not! His face was as black as Judge Bao’s!"
King Jingyao gave a light HMPH. "He has been too arrogant these years, thinking that no one could control him."
The Secretary-General knew how to please his superior, so he chimed in, "Before, there might not have been a way, but now, with Miss Anxi, it’s like adding wings to a tiger for you. Even another Min Xing wouldn’t be your match."
These words truly resonated with King Jingyao, making him very happy. He waved his hand and said decisively, "I’ve been fed up with this fellow for a while now. Let him stay in this position for a few more years. Once Yun Chen has adapted, he can smoothly take over."
He chuckled. "Min Xing is such a sentimental fool; he’s not cut out for the world of power and prestige. It would be good enough for him to take care of his wife, raise his children, and run a small business."
The Secretary-General sighed in admiration. "You are truly kind-hearted, Sir, even thinking of a future path for Mr. Min."
King Jingyao lay down, hands folded behind his head. "After all, he is the father of Zhou Yu’s child. Besides, I’m not like that bastard; I don’t like to annihilate my enemies completely."
"That’s absolutely right," Wang Jingchuan chimed in. After a few more flattering remarks, King Jingyao was satisfied and fell asleep.
「Early next morning, King Jingyao’s wound had healed significantly.」 After tidying up, he cheerfully went to the room across the hall to bid farewell.
Min Xing feigned sleep. Wang Yuan exchanged a few brief words with King Jingyao, and as soon as King Jingyao had left, Gu Anxi arrived.
"Doctor Gu," Wang Yuan greeted her with a smile. "You’re here so early?"
Gu Anxi hummed in acknowledgment. "I came to see your Mr. Min."
Min Xing secretly opened one eye. Wang Yuan glanced over and, catching the signal, said, "Mr. Min woke up once this morning. He said your medical skills are excellent, Doctor Gu. He felt much better this morning and even enjoyed his meal."
Gu Anxi chuckled. "Is that so?"
She glanced at Min Xing. His dejected look made it obvious he’d been tormented by Brother Wang last night. This guy must be heartbroken now; his wife ran off with someone else, and his arch-nemesis at that.
Just then, a nurse came over. "Doctor Gu, it’s time for Mr. Min to have his dressing changed and his IV drip."
Gu Anxi nodded. "Leave the supplies here."
She patted Min Xing. "Stop pretending to sleep. It’s time to change your dressing."
Min Xing opened his eyes and glared at her. Gu Anxi laughed. "Glaring at me won’t bring your wife back."
Min Xing sat up slowly, his voice cold. "If you hadn’t taken Zhou Yu away, would she be with King Jingyao now?"
And even have his child!
Hearing this, his secretary, Wang Yuan, instantly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Doctor Gu! You bear some responsibility for this. You have to take responsibility!"
Gu Anxi carefully lifted a corner of his patient gown, revealing his shoulder. She expertly changed the dressing and applied medication, saying, "And how should I take responsibility? It’s not like I’d want you; I find you too old."
The corners of Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Min Xing gritted his teeth. "I have no such interest in you!"
Gu Anxi said, "OH?" After some careful thought, she came up with an idea. "Actually, you’re just jealous that my old brother has a wife and child. But you don’t need to be. You have what he has, and it’s all ready-made. Look, Gu Mingzhu is your child, right? And you and Tang Yuan are old acquaintances. She must think you’re much better than Gu Yuanshan. If you want a wife and child, it’s a piece of cake. My old brother’s child—even in twenty years, it won’t compare to your readily available one."
Min Xing was furious!
Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched again.
Did they make a mistake? If they tried to win Doctor Gu over like this, would they end up angering Mr. Min to death in the process?
Min Xing, meanwhile, endured for a moment before saying, "I only have one wife, Zhou Yu."
"Correction: ex-wife," Gu Anxi said, smiling brightly. "I heard my old brother is planning a wedding ceremony once Sister Zhou gives birth. AH, such a blissful life! He’s a true winner in life!"
Min Xing glared at her. "Are you deliberately trying to anger me?"
Gu Anxi waved her hand. "You’re only realizing that now?"
She skillfully finished changing his dressing and then pulled his patient gown back into place. Min Xing noticed that today, he didn’t feel any pain at all.
She really does have some skill, after all.
Gu Anxi handed the used dressing to the nurse and then personally hung the IV drip for Min Xing. He kept watching her. Why is she being so nice all of a sudden?
"I’m a doctor." Gu Anxi stood with her hands in her pockets, smiling. "Healing you is my duty. There’s nothing ’nice’ or ’not nice’ about it. Fundamentally, I still despise you."
Min Xing was enraged again. He glanced at his secretary.
Wang Yuan immediately tried to smooth things over. "Doctor Gu, Mr. Min is currently injured, both emotionally and physically. Could you please be a little considerate of his feelings?"
Gu Anxi nodded. "Fine. When Sister Zhou comes for her prenatal check-up in a few days, I won’t bring her over here, then. That way, I won’t upset your master."
Wang Yuan was at a loss for words. "That’s not what I meant."
Gu Anxi smiled brightly. "Then what did you mean?"
Wang Yuan pulled her aside and cleared his throat slightly. "Here’s the thing. Our Mr. Min currently... admires you, Doctor Gu. He even said last night that he wants to treat you well. We’ll try our best to fulfill any requests you might have."
Gu Anxi widened her eyes, feigning surprise. "Really?"
She touched her head. "I feel so flattered. Wait, I need to go back and ask if I was also accidentally sired by Mr. Min. If that’s the case, wouldn’t I be a young lady of the Min family? I’d have to call Sister Zhou ’Big Auntie,’ just like Gu Mingzhu does, and I’d also have to call my old brother ’Uncle’..."
She added, "This issue... seems to have become quite complicated..."
Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Min Xing: I want to curse!
This bizarre creature! How on earth did King Jingyao get to be thick as thieves with her?!!!
