Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Hostility

    An Junxi had interacted with Lv Jing for a period of time and knew that she was always polite to everyone, with a beautiful face that always wore an appropriate smile, and carried herself with a quiet elegance. She was the kind of person you would remember after just one glance.

    Think about it, how could Gu Yikun choose someone who was less than perfect?

    Lv Jing hung up the IV and said to An Junxi, "Miss An, your injury is quite serious this time, but I believe you will recover quickly in our hospital. I didn’t expect such good benefits from part-time work at the Gu Family. Miss An, you need to take good care of yourself."

    An Junxi didn’t know if she was overthinking it, but why did she feel like Lv Jing was probing her?

    She vaguely said, "Hmm, thank you, Miss Lv."

    Lv Jing smiled, "You’re welcome, it’s my duty," she then turned and teased Gu Jinxiu, "Young Master, you haven’t gone home yet? You’re really kind to your tutor, but if you go home late, your father will worry."

    Gu Jinxiu couldn’t stand Lv Jing’s sweet, sticky tone, making him feel like he was an easily coaxed fool.

    He snorted from his nose, "This young master goes home whenever he wants. Who are you to care?"

    Lv Jing’s face stiffened.

    An Junxi almost laughed out loud; Gu Jinxiu’s acting skills were truly impressive! His expression was priceless!

    Lv Jing quickly recovered, and said gently, "How dare I manage the young master, I was just concerned for you."

    Gu Jinxiu mercilessly retorted, "No need, plenty of people care about this young master."

    Lv Jing was extremely embarrassed. She smiled apologetically at An Junxi, as if to say she was sorry for disturbing them.

    Seeing Lv Jing’s appearance, An Junxi suddenly felt they had gone too far. She said to Gu Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, Miss Lv means well."

    Gu Jinxiu’s expression remained unpleasant, but he did not argue with An Junxi’s words.

    Lv Jing was shocked. She looked at An Junxi with a probing gaze, thinking that this girl looked so ordinary, not particularly beautiful, so how did she manage to coax Young Master Gu into being so obedient in such a short time?

    Never mind Young Master Gu, she couldn’t even understand President Gu. Since when did he care about an employee’s medical issues? This time, he actually called them personally to make sure they took good care of Miss An Junxi.

    Lv Jing casually said, "Miss An, our visiting hours are from 10 am to 12 pm. If your boyfriend is coming to see you, make sure he follows the visiting hours."

    An Junxi casually replied, "Some of my colleagues might come to see me, but they won’t stay long."

    Lv Jing couldn’t help but ask directly, "Miss An, don’t you have a boyfriend?"

    An Junxi finally understood her intention. Was Lv Jing worried because she had been admitted to the private hospital of the Gu Family?

    She found it a bit ridiculous. There were countless women around Gu Yikun, did Lv Jing lack that much confidence, having to guard against each and every one?

    Gu Jinxiu also pursued, "Sister Jun Xi, you don’t have a boyfriend? That’s a failure! At school, even I have..."

    An Junxi laughed, "You actually have a girlfriend!"

    Gu Jinxiu hurriedly explained, "Of course not! I’m just saying lots of female classmates want to hang out with me, but I’m too busy to pay them any attention, they’re as noisy as sparrows, so annoying!" He then continued to ask persistently, "Sister Jun Xi, do you really not have a boyfriend?"

    "No," An Junxi made a pig face at him, "I don’t have time for dating, I’m too busy."

    "Then you’ll become an old maid," Gu Jinxiu said sincerely.

    An Junxi felt like her head was about to explode.

    "Gu Jinxiu, you should go home, you’re making my injury hurt."

    Gu Jinxiu almost forgot that the patient should stay happy, so he added, "Sister Jun Xi, you’re beautiful, surely lots of handsome guys will chase you."

    "Too late, saying anything now won’t help," An Junxi said to the bodyguard at the door, "Bodyguard brother, take your young master home. By now, Mr. Gu should have returned."

    Lv Jing interjected, "Mr. Gu is working overtime tonight, he won’t be home that soon."

    What, was this a declaration of sovereignty, letting others know she completely monitored Gu Yikun’s whereabouts?

    But she really overthought it, An Junxi had basic moral consciousness and would never become a third party. Besides, she didn’t have the qualifications to be a third party.

    Although a bit annoyed, it was indeed a fact that An Junxi’s greatest advantage was her self-awareness.

    An Junxi didn’t respond to Lv Jing’s words. She saw all her belongings placed on the cabinet beside her, including a bouquet of lilies.

    She quite liked lilies.

    "Jinxiu, did you buy flowers for me? Thank you!"

    Gu Jinxiu looked bewildered; he glanced at the flowers on the cabinet, "I didn’t buy them, I came straight from school. If you like these flowers, I’ll bring you some next time."

    An Junxi felt a little embarrassed, "There’s no need to bring anything. Then who sent these?"

    Uncle Cheng’s memory seemed to come in handy. He said, "When we arrived at the hospital, these flowers were already in the room. The nurse brought them over when moving over."

    That was strange; could it be that someone else had visited while she was sleeping, before Gu Jinxiu arrived?

    Who could it be?

    Thinking it was probably a colleague from the company, An Junxi didn’t dwell on it. She asked Gu Jinxiu to head home, reminding him not to visit during rehearsal season.

    "Then let Uncle Yu Chen stream it for you live. Make sure you watch it," Gu Jinxiu said.

    "Who’s Yu Chen?"

    "A friend of my father’s, in charge of Wansu Technology. Their tech products are amazing."

    Well, the boss’s friends are all bosses, she asked too much.

    After Gu Jinxiu left, An Junxi asked Lv Jing about Yue Xiaoyang. Lv Jing said, "Doctor Yue went to the United States yesterday. His father’s company needs to have a shareholders’ meeting, he should be back in over a week."

    Lv Jing knew everything clearly.

    "Alright then, that’s fine."

    Lv Jing asked her, "Miss An, how do you feel working as a tutor for the Gu Family?"

    "Just call me Jun Xi, no need to be so formal," An Junxi said. "I’m a part-timer at the Gu Family, it’s alright, everyone is quite easy to get along with."

    Lv Jing immediately asked, "What about Mr. Gu, is he easy to get along with?"

    Suddenly, An Junxi felt very repelled; why couldn’t Lv Jing ask her directly, why beat around the bush? Wasn’t it exhausting?

    She deliberately didn’t cooperate and pretended not to understand, saying, "Hmm, not really difficult to get along with."

    Lv Jing’s face turned serious.
