Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  When Gu Jiaxi heard the sound of cars outside, she felt very strange. The voice didn't seem like Ye Xuefen's either. Moreover, it was working hours now, and she should be at work.

  "Doctor, go see who's here?" Gu Jiaxuan lay on the bed, lazily calling out to the man beside her who was lowering his head to play games.

  "Get out!" The man coldly refused, continuing to play the game in his hand. "During this time, except for Ye Xuanmo, no one is allowed to see you!"

  "Hey, the one being pursued is you, not me. When someone comes, can't you just hide?" Gu Jiaxi despised this guy's overbearing attitude, "Go open the door."

  "Then forget about Ou Mu Xuan from now on and never meet him alone." Last night, he couldn't sleep, came over to take a look at her, she actually grabbed his hand and shouted Ou Mu Xuan's name, if it wasn't for the fact that he himself was inconvenient to show up, he would have gone to kill that despicable man!

  "You..." Gu Jiaxuan's words were cut off as his phone rang beside him, "Hello?"

  "Are you at home?" On the other end of the phone, Ou Mu Xuan's voice came over coldly, his stiff tone devoid of any warmth.

  "Ou Zong?" Gu Jiaxiang subconsciously looked out the window, "You're at my doorstep?"

  "Ah, open the door!"

  "Alright, right away, just wait a moment!" Although she knew it was impossible with Ou Mu Xuan, when she heard his voice and knew he was downstairs, she couldn't help but get excited.

  "Doctor, doctor, hurry and open the door!"

  "Don't go!" The man was furious, and the mere mention of Ou Mu Xuan made her so excited that it further infuriated him. "You're not allowed to see him!"

  "Whether or not I see him is my freedom, you have no right to interfere!" Gu Jia sat up straight, "Quickly go and open the door, quickly, if you don't go, I'll jump out myself." After saying that, she pretended to get out of bed.

  "He..." The man suppressed his anger and was about to go open the door, then beat Ou Mu-Xuan severely.

  "Hey, wait a minute!" Gu Jiaxi suddenly stopped him, "Doctor, carry me down, aren't you inconvenient to show your face?"

  "How convenient!" the man shouted coldly.

  "But it's inconvenient for me," Gu Jiaxuan said, getting more and more anxious. "I couldn't possibly let Ou Muxuan know that there's a man living in my house, what if he thinks I'm an unchaste woman?"

  "Am I really so unworthy of being seen?!" The man was thoroughly enraged. Was she that concerned about Ou Mu Xuan?!

  "I'm worried I won't be able to see him," Gu Jiaxi forgot about the man's feelings, "You carry me down, put me at the door, and then you can hide!"

  After listening, the man turned around and walked back, not to hug Gu Jiaxi, but to stand in front of her with an intimidating posture, his slender body emitting a terrifying anger, like a ghost from hell, staring at her deadpan, his icy blue eyes with a hint of ruthlessness.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Jiaxi was anxious, "Don't let him wait outside for too long, hurry up and carry me down to open the door!"

  "Is he really that important to you?" the man asked coldly.

  "It doesn't matter, you're more important!" Gu Jiaxi whispered.

  Anger once again shrouded everything. The man sneered coldly, "Fine, I'll give you a choice: do you want him or me?"

  Gu Jiaxi seemed to be momentarily confused.

  "If you choose him, I'll carry you out the door and from now on, I will never appear in front of you again. Your life or death has nothing to do with me. If you choose me, then never see him again!" The words were spoken with great anger, leaving no room for compromise.

  Gu Jiaxi seemed to have thought about it, got up from the bed, hopped on one leg around the man, jumped towards the door, and before going out, she didn't forget to glare at him, as if to say that even without him, she could still do it.

  "Are you choosing him?" The man sneered, with a hint of malice. "Fine, from now on, let's pretend we don't know each other. Later, if the person you care about most gets hurt and dies in front of me, I won't even lift a finger to save them!"

  "Do you think you're the only doctor in the world?" What a joke, can someone with just a bit of medical skill be so arrogant?

  The man clenched his fists tightly, but didn't say a word. His agile body jumped out of the window and disappeared from Gu Jiaxi's line of sight.

  Gu Jiaxiu was stunned, had he really left? The sickly man, she had just taken pity on him and let him hide out with her, what did he think their relationship was?

  Gu Jiaxi was thinking as she walked forward, then suddenly her foot slipped and her body quickly lost its balance. Before she could react, her body rolled down the stairs!

  When it fell into the living room, it hit a vase placed at the foot of the stairs, and there was another loud crash!

  The continuous crashing sound and the crisp shattering sound made Ou Mu Xuan suddenly realize that Gu Jia Xi's leg was broken, she shouldn't be able to come downstairs to open the door by herself, right? With such a big commotion, she must have fallen.

  Ou Mu Xuan kicked open the door and saw Gu Jia Chen struggling on the ground, trying to get up to open the door.

  She really resembles Ye Xuanmo, with the same stubbornness and refusal to back down. Despite her injured leg, she didn't mention it on the phone and instead tried to put on a strong front.

  When Gu Jiaxi saw Ou Muxuan, she wanted to get up, but after standing for a while, she found that her legs couldn't exert any strength, so she sat back down on the ground, looked up and waved at Ou Muxuan, "Hey!"

  Ou Mu Xuan furrowed her brow, "Are you okay?"

  Gu Jiaxiang took a look at his own broken leg and the other leg that was cramping up, shook his head decisively, "Not good!"

  Ou Mu Xuan furrowed her brow, "Get up and sit on the sofa, I have something to tell you."

  As for love, he had already understood that the person he liked, the one he loved in this life, was only Ye Xiang and could only be Ye Xiang, so he must make things clear with Gu Jiaxi.

  Gu Jiaxi stood up for a moment, but didn't get up, and had no choice but to tell the truth, "I can't get up."

  "It's okay to say it on the ground."

  "Hey, can't you just pick me up?" Gu Jiaxuan really felt that Ou Muxuan wasn't a good boyfriend, no, shouldn't say he's not a good man. Even if he didn't like her, it was still unbearable to watch her sit on the ground like this.

  Ou Mu Xuan's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, he didn't want to touch any other woman. If she wasn't Ye Xiang Yu's sister, he wouldn't have said a single word to her. But... forget it, just for Ye Xiang Yu's sake, he'll just hold her then.

  Just as he bent down to pick her up, they heard the sound of a car outside, and it seemed that someone had arrived.

  So Ou Mu Xuan stood at the door with Gu Jia Yan in his arms, and half a minute later, Ye Xiang Fu appeared in their line of sight with Xiao Nai Wa.

  "Jia Xian, we..." Ye Xuan's words trailed off as she stood there in stunned silence.

  Ou Mu Xuan, who was holding Gu Jia Xi, also froze...
