Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 601 - 366: Eating Dumplings Here?

"Thank you!" Ji Su sincerely thanked him.

After her examination, Ji Su didn’t stay long and left the hospital.

At night, Gu Yucheng arrived at her place, which he barely visited; her living space was very small and plain.

Ji Su was eating dumplings she had made for herself, not expecting Gu Yucheng to visit. While eating dumplings, she asked him, "Have you eaten?"

"No," Gu Yucheng entered and sat on the sofa.

Ji Su put down her chopsticks: "Would you like to have some dumplings here?"

Gu Yucheng was staring at her, his face cold and austere: "Ji Su, what did you do today?"

Ji Su had not yet fully swallowed the dumpling in her mouth, she almost choked and then glared at him: "Me? I went for a medical follow-up, what’s wrong?"

"You purposely didn’t make an appointment with He Chenxiang, but you were alone with him in his office for a long time!" Gu Yucheng said sternly.

Ji Su was dissatisfied: "Are you having someone follow me?"

Gu Yucheng did not respond.

Ji Su stared at him. Her dealings with He Chenxiang were above board, and she wasn’t afraid. "Since you had someone follow me, you should know the whole story. I was stopped by Yang Junyi’s father, who claimed that you bribed a judge, which is why my mother was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Yang’s father was very agitated and spoke harshly to me. Just then, He Chenxiang passed by and let me into his office to protect me from Yang’s father, who he then took to Yang Junyi. And I really didn’t want to make an appointment with him; I remember you once said that if you can’t give someone the happiness they desire, don’t give them any hope at all. Yucheng, seeing him today was truly by chance."

Listening to her explanation, which was similar to what he had heard, Gu Yucheng’s mood eased slightly and he said to her, "Come here..."

Ji Su walked from the dining table to him, and he pulled her into his arms, "In the future, even a casual meeting is not allowed!"

"Yes!" she obediently responded.

Her hands were pressed against his chest. Previously, he always resisted such close contact, but now he seemed to enjoy being handsy with her.

"I’m hungry..." Ji Su murmured softly.

She felt his large, hot hand on her waist, and it was very warm.

Gu Yucheng stared at her; without him coming to see her, she would probably never appear in front of him again!

"I’ll make some dumplings for you!" Ji Su stood up from his embrace.

Then, she went to the kitchen, chopped the pork, and made dumplings for him.

Ji Su quickly cooked them and then served him: "You can eat now!"

Thus, the two of them silently ate the dumplings in their bowls, each seemingly lost in their own thoughts.

After finishing the dumplings, Ji Su went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Gu Yucheng followed her, then pressed her against the sink...

"Yucheng..." Ji Su’s heart trembled; was this why he came?

His heart was clearly with someone else, so why was he doing this? A woman’s intuition is very sharp; he liked Lu Xiao, he just didn’t want to hurt Lu Xiao.

This was a tremendous blow to Ji Su; she thought she wouldn’t care about this, but she wasn’t a magnanimous woman, her dependence on him was so strong, it would hurt her!

She was wearing a skirt today, which made it convenient for Gu Yucheng.

Her struggle was always devoid of any hindrance to him.

"Yucheng, which woman are you in love with right now?" Ji Su knew she should pretend she was deaf and dumb, she could ignore everything, but she couldn’t!

The man preparing to take advantage of her situation heard this, and he slightly curved his lips, "Does it matter?"

Ji Su’s eyes brimmed with tears, "If you love her, don’t maintain this kind of relationship with me anymore. I think she’s a sensible person; she would understand you."

Gu Yucheng’s cold eyes fixed on her tearful eyes, "Ji Su, do you think by saying this, you can refuse me?"

He didn’t back away but became even more ruthless towards her because of his words.

Ji Su bit her lip hard.

Her heart ached, hurt by his cold and ruthless words.

Enduring the pain, Ji Su understood that if she loved him, she would want his entirety.

His heart was already half given to another woman, how could she continue to love him?

Gu Yucheng, in the last moment, leaned close to her ear and emotionlessly said, "Ji Su, do you really want me to love someone else? I’ll do as you wish!"

He stood up and left without any reluctance.

Ji Su slowly knelt on the kitchen floor, she didn’t want him to love someone else; she just wanted to be sure about his feelings!

She suddenly realized, their entanglement over the years, even with her mother’s sentencing, it seemed there was still no end!

What should she do to make things better between them?

...

Radio station.

After finishing work, Ji Su still seemed a bit dazed, gazing at the colorful night of City A, which remained vibrant and unaffected by anyone’s personal affairs.

She wandered aimlessly in the bustling area, unsure of what to do next.

It wasn’t until someone snatched her handbag that she snapped back to reality, "Robbery..."

While shouting, she chased after the robber!

But, she was gasping for air as she ran, watching the robber getting further and further away.

At that moment, Lu Xiao, who had just finished work, heard cries of robbery and immediately joined the chase, crossing a street and then a skybridge before cornering the robber in a dead-end alley. The robber surrendered, "Madam, don’t chase me anymore, I’ll give everything back to you!"

After catching Ji Su’s handbag, Lu Xiao commanded: "Don’t move, come with me to the police station."

The robber definitely resisted and tried to flee, but Lu Xiao was not about to let him go.

As they fought, Lu Xiao was initially gaining the upper hand, but unexpectedly the robber suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger and slashed towards Lu Xiao’s heart. Lu Xiao blocked with her hand and the dagger sliced through her forearm, blood gushing out.

As the criminal prepared to stab again, Lu Xiao drew her gun: "Drop your weapon!"

At that moment, the police arrived to help, capturing the criminal and taking him to the station.

Ji Su also arrived, and Lu Xiao handed her the handbag.

Seeing her injury, Ji Su immediately suggested, "Let’s go to the hospital!"

The two went to the hospital, where a doctor treated Lu Xiao’s wound and advised, "You need to change the dressing every day, keep it dry and avoid lifting heavy objects."

"Thank you so much!" Ji Su felt remorseful, "It’s my fault you got hurt..."

"I’m a police officer, catching thieves is my job, don’t worry about it." Lu Xiao was rather cheerful about it.

When Ji Su accidentally touched her skin, Lu Xiao cried out, "Why are you so hot? Do you have a fever?"

As Lu Xiao was about to leave, Ji Su wouldn’t allow it, she quickly went to the triage desk, obtained a thermometer, and checked Lu Xiao’s temperature, which was nearly 40 degrees, "You can’t go home, you need to see a doctor immediately..."

Ji Su registered her for a consultation, fetched the medicine, and stayed by Lu Xiao’s side as she was put on an IV drip.

Lu Xiao’s fever made her drowsy, and she soon fell asleep.

Ji Su stayed by her side, occasionally hearing her murmuring deliriously, "Brother... Brother, where are you..."

Ji Su wiped her sweat with a towel, occasionally hearing her calling out, "Mr. Gu... Yucheng..."

Ji Su felt particularly heartbroken, thinking how deeply attached Lu Xiao must be, why had she suggested breaking up in the first place?

She looked at the young girl’s face, youthful and vibrant, shining under the sunlight, she loved Gu Yucheng, and surely he loved her too!

Ji Su approached a nurse, Yang Ting, "Could you do me a favor, please?"

Using Lu Xiao’s phone, Yang Ting called Gu Yucheng: "Sir, hello, this is the hospital, do you know Miss Lu Xiao?"

"I know her." Gu Yucheng was still at the office, "What happened to her?"

"She got injured today and has a high fever!" Yang Ting explained, "Seeing she has no one to look after her, I found the first number on her phone and called you, Sir, could you please come to take care of her?"

If a woman saves a man’s number as the first contact, the depth of her feelings is clear.

Gu Yucheng paused briefly: "Okay!"

After hanging up, Yang Ting reported to Miss Ji, "I’ve done as you instructed, he agreed." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Thank you!" Ji Su nodded, "I will be going now! It’s good that Miss Lu has someone to take care of her."

Shortly after, Gu Yucheng drove to the hospital.

Upon entering the ward, Yang Ting was still caring for Lu Xiao. Her first impression was that Gu Yucheng greatly resembled Gu Qingchen, but on closer examination, they were entirely different.

Gu Yucheng faced Lu Xiao, whose face was somewhat pale, the girl in her dreams appeared restless, several strands of her hair were soaked with sweat, sticking to her forehead.

He wanted to reach out to her, but his hand halted mid-air and he withdrew it.

Without speaking, he sat on a chair nearby. He wanted to light a cigarette but seeing Yang Ting staring, he put it back.

Lu Xiao occasionally called out in her sleep, "Brother, Brother, don’t go... don’t leave me alone..."

Yang Ting silently left the room, closing the door behind her.

Gu Yucheng listened to Lu Xiao talking, he sighed silently, barely audible.

Then, he also heard Lu Xiao calling his name in her dreams, pleading for warmth, though in reality, it was she who had pushed him away.

"Mr. Gu, you must be happy..." Lu Xiao muttered in her dreams, tears overflowing from her eyes.

Finally, Gu Yucheng could not restrain himself and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes. The girl’s tears were salty, tasted of youth, and were tinged with pain.

The early morning of summer was brightly lit very early, and before five o’clock, there was already light outside.

Gu Yucheng had been sitting there for a long time. He got up to leave, while Lu Xiao was still asleep.

He sat in his car, lit a cigarette, and called Lu Fei: "Drop everything at the office today and go to the hospital to take care of Lu Xiao."

Lu Fei, surprised by his boss’s early call for this particular matter, quickly got up, freshened up, and then opened his wardrobe, comparing several outfits before finally deciding which to wear to meet Lu Xiao.
