Chapter 4 A Familiar Face

At the moment when Gu Xinran lost consciousness, Ji Xiao stood up, and before he could think, he picked up Gu Xinrancovered in misery on the ground and rushed out of the box like the wind.

In the hospital, Ji Xiao was guarding the emergency room. He felt a wave of confusion in his heart as he recalled the scene of Gu Xinran lying on the ground lifelessly.

He didn't expect to see such a soft and weak woman being so ruthless to herself. He paced back and forth, feeling anxious. He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not. He vaguely felt that something had been out of his control. This uncertain feeling made him very annoyed.

After a long time, the doctor finally walked out of the emergency room. Ji Xiao stepped forward and asked, "How is she?"

Perhaps his tone was too stiff. The doctor looked at him in surprise and replied seriously, "The patient's wound has been sewn up and bled a little. It's not a problem. However, due to a severe collision to the head and a slight concussion, she is still unconscious. It is estimated that it will take some time for her to wake up."

Hearing the doctor's words, Ji Xiao seemed to heavea sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, he thought hatefully, this woman was indeed very capable of pretending to be harsh towards others, and even harsher towards herself.

When Gu Xinran woke up, the sky was already bright and she still felt dizzy. She struggled to open her eyes and looked at the white ceiling above her head. She  gradually became conscious. When she smelled the thick smoke in the air, she frowned and looked around. The moment she saw Ji Xiao, she was somewhat surprised.

Ji Xiao sank deep into the sofa with half-lit cigarettes between his middle finger and index finger. His face looked ethereal amidst the smoke. Gu Xinran blinked her eyes, wanting to see it clearly to prove that it was not an illusion.

At this time, Ji Xiao suddenly stood up and put outthe cigarette in the ashtray. He walked to Gu Xinran's bed and smiled. "Gu Xinran, I really underestimated you. Even I was almost tricked by your bitter scheme." "However, I warn you, this method of suicide can be played once, but it won't be useful next time. Be careful, if you don't pay attention, you'll really kill yourself."

Gu Xinran felt a little helpless. She finally understood that when a person hated you, no matter what you did, it was meaningless in his eyes.

She was silent and didn't want to explain anymore. Anyway, he wouldn't listen to anything she said. She had already lost all hope for Ji Xiao long before she fainted.

"What? I was right, so there's nothing else to say?" Looking at the expressionless Gu Xinran, Ji Xiao'sdeeply irritated. He snorted and said coldly, "Since you're awake, hurry up and leave the hospital. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking..."

Gu Xinran knew that Ji Xiao was afraid that she would use her injuries to complain to his grandfather. She wasn't angry, but she just felt sad. After knowing Ji Xiao for so long, he had never truly understood who she was.

Her injuries weren't particularly serious, but she still needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. The doctor didn't agree for her to be discharged from the hospital, but Gu Xinran insist on it. In the end, he had to repeatedly instruct her to return to the hospital for examination on time after she was discharged from the hospital.

Seeing that an unfamiliar doctor would be worried about her injuries, but her husband had never given her a word of concern after she woke up, even if it was just a look, she felt greatly disappointed and stared at Ji Xiao beside her. Suddenly, Ji Xiao stopped. She didn't know what he was up to. Gu Xinran followed his line of sight. Before she could see anything, Ji Xiao suddenly ran in that  direction.

Gu Xinran followed him doubtfully. Seeing Ji Xiao tightly grasping a woman's hand and eagerly saying something, she frowned and quickened her pace.

When she saw the woman's familiar face, she widened her eyes.

Xin You, it was actually Xin You!
