Chapter 194: Bundle Up Yourself

Gu Shen laid a stress on every word he said, and every word hit Yan Xi.

She pressed her lips together, but there was an obvious smile on her lips. She lay down on the bed. “Why are you so sweet lately?”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. “I attended a crash course on how to make your wife happy.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before there was a knock on the door, followed by Gu An’s voice.

“Xixi, open the door. I need your help.”

“I’ll go take a look.” Yan Xi put down her phone and walked over to open the door. Gu An was holding a script in her hand.

“Xixi, be my acting partner. The director said that I have to shoot this scene as soon as I get back, but this scene is a little too intense. I’m afraid I won’t be able to act well.”

“Come in.” Yan Xi moved aside and led her in.

Gu Shen sneered. “Gu An, when did you become so hard working?”

“It’s good to be hard working. I gotta help her practice it.. Bye.”

“Okay.”

Yan Xi bent down to turn off her phone, but Gu An suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

The Japanese-style nightgown was baggy, and Yan Xi did not tie it up properly. The collar was pulled open by Gu An, revealing a large area of fair skin.

Yan Xi was so frightened that she quickly hung up the phone and tidied her clothes.

Gu An stood at the side and said casually, “Did I just pull your gown open?”

Yan Xi wrapped her arms around her neck. “You did it on purpose, aren’t you?”

“No, no.” Gu An took a step back. “I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Yan Xi snorted and patted Gu An on the head before asking, “Did you see anything you shouldn’t have seen?”

“I didn’t, but I’m not sure if Fourth Brother saw anything.” Then, she looked up at Yan Xi in surprise. “Xixi, why is your face red? Don’t tell me you and Fourth Brother haven’t…”

“Haven’t what?”

“Nothing! Anyway…” Gu An looked at her expression and said carefully,” Grandpa still wants the two of you to have a child as soon as possible. He said that if the two of you are busy, he can help you take care of the baby.”

Gu Shen and Yan Xi weren’t there yet.

“Well, we’ll talk about that later.” Yan Xi changed the topic. “Alright, didn’t you ask me to go through the script with you? Hurry up. I want to rest early.”

“This part. I’ll act it out for you. Then you can give me some opinions.”

…

It was already midnight when Yan Xi finished helping Gu An with the script. She did not rest but took out her laptop and started writing the surgery plan.

The surgery procedure was complicated and took a long time.

Therefore, Yan Xi was under a lot of pressure. She took a deep breath and sent the plan to Zhou Xu.

With Zhou Xu around, she didn’t have to take everything on herself.

After writing the plan, it was already dawn. Yan Xi rubbed her eyes and looked at the time on her phone. It was already five in the morning.

There was still a message from Gu Shen on WeChat. She was busy writing the surgery plan and did not pay attention to it.

Yan Xi hesitated for a long time and decided not to reply to him for now.

However, Gu Shen’s message popped up again.

“What are you trying to type?”

“Did you just wake up or did you stay up all night?”

Yan Xi was stunned. She did not expect Gu Shen to still be awake. She was afraid that he would ask more questions, so she decided to lie.

“I only saw your message when I got up to go to the bathroom. Are you still awake?”

“Couldn’t sleep”

Yan Xi immediately opened a search engine to research on what she should reply in this situation.

At the top was an article – ‘A woman with a high EQ should reply like this when a man says he can’t sleep’

Yan Xi quickly browsed through it and sent a message to Gu Shen.

“Thinking about me?”

“Yes”

[Go rest, and I’ll show up in your dream. If you really can’t sleep, you can apply some calming essential oil, or I’ll chat with you for a while.”

Gu Shen chuckled.

“No, you can go back to sleep.”

“It’s cold on the mountain. Bundle up yourself.”

Yan Xi slept too late last night and woke up at noon.
