Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 711 - 708 Gu! Chen! Do you have a stomach problem or a mental problem?

Feeling his gaze, Gu Li slowly looked at him and cracked a smile: "Gu... Chen, how come you didn’t even let me know that you were hospitalized?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Chen realized that this was not an illusion, the person that had been on his mind just now was actually standing right before him, smiling at him.

"You... Why are you here?"

Gu Li didn’t answer him, but instead made him lie back in bed and carefully tucked in the blanket around him. Then she sat by his side and answered his question: "I heard that you fell ill, so I came over."

"..."

"Uncle Gu, aren’t you tired? Why don’t you sleep? If you don’t sleep, you won’t recover from your illness quickly. Without you at home, I have no mood to cook, I’ve been eating instant noodles every day and I’m almost sick of them."

Listening to her prattling on, Gu Chen felt a drifting sensation.

Right now, he was completely unable to think, much less comprehend the meaning behind Gu Li’s words.

Therefore, when Gu Li stopped and looked at him, he said: "You should go home. It’s not safe for a girl to be outside. Also, I’ve already heard about Li Weonian’s matter. Don’t worry, he won’t end up well."

Gu Li blinked upon hearing this, "Didn’t you listen to what I just said?"

"What did you say?" Gu Chen had a bad feeling, annoyed at himself for only focusing on his own thoughts and not paying close attention to what she had been saying.

"Uncle Gu! You’re not listening to me again!"

The familiar tone made Gu Chen feel lost in a trance.

How long had it been since he heard her speak to him with that tone?

Gu Chen’s eyes darkened, his head heated up, and he asked her, "Gu Li, I have surgery tomorrow, and I don’t know if it will be successful. But before I go into surgery, I want to settle all that I should."

Upon hearing this, Gu Li’s heart "thudded" heavily.

His voice rose again: "The apartment in Xilin, I bought it under your name. It’s your home. If I don’t make it through, consider it an early wedding dowry for you."

"Dow... dowry?" Gu Li’s eyes widened incredulously, her large eyes clear and unblemished.

Gu Chen subconsciously averted his gaze, not daring to look at her, "Yes, as your guardian, it is only right for me to prepare a dowry for you. Moreover, all my bank cards use your birthday as the PIN. If I die, you..."

"Have you said enough?"

Gu Li’s voice, deep as it could be, suddenly sounded, cutting him off.

He looked up in surprise, his heart trembling violently at that moment.

She was crying?!

Gu Li’s eyes were bloodshot, staring at him so fiercely as if she wanted to bore holes into him.

"Gu Chen, are you even human? You took my virginity, you chased after me for years, and now you’re preparing a dowry for someone else to marry me? I’m telling you, no way! Don’t even think about it!"

Gu Chen was bewildered, what did she mean by that?

She sniffed, raised her head for a moment, then lowered it again to look at him, "Gu Chen, you are truly despicable, passing on a woman you’ve been with to someone else. Do you think everyone will like me, this ’damaged shoe’ of yours?"

Damaged shoe?

She actually referred to herself as a ’damaged shoe’?

Gu Chen’s heart ached, barely restraining himself from blurting out—

She was his treasure, how could she be a ’damaged shoe’?

At the same time, he also realized his oversight. Gu Li was no longer a virgin; if she encountered a man she loved, and that man happened to care about this matter, what would she do?
