Gu Sisi looked apologetic, which made Ji Ling feel even more like a brute.
No, it was Gu Chenfei who was the real brute. Gu Chenfei was the mastermind who spouted nonsense seriously, while he, Ji Ling, was just an accomplice.
Yes, that was right.
Ji Ling silently swallowed his saliva. Sure enough, only a brute like Gu Chenfei could be so calm at this moment. He felt Gu Chenfei's gaze on him relax a bit.
Ji Ling quickly seized the opportunity. "Then I'll not decline your kind offer. Thank you, Miss Sisi."
He wanted to see what else Gu Chenfei could say now that he had readily agreed.
Sure enough, Gu Chenfei said nothing and didn't give him a killing look either. She just silently moved closer to Ji Ling and, where Gu Sisi couldn't see, pinched his waist.
Twist and twist, twist and twist...
Ji Ling felt that he might have owed Gu Chenfei in his previous life. It was precisely because it was Gu Chenfei that he could do nothing but endure it.
Frustrating!
This was the only thought in Ji Ling's mind. He was really frustrated. He was just wondering why Gu Chenfei wasn't a man.
If Gu Chenfei were a man, he could beat her up and wouldn't have to endure her pinching and stepping on him like this.
Suddenly, Ji Ling thought of something and really wanted to hug his head and cry. How could he have forgotten that this inhuman Gu Chenfei was a black belt? Even if Gu Chenfei were a man, he still wouldn't be able to beat her.
Ji Ling suddenly felt like crying.
"Hey, Mr. Ji, why do you always carry these medical tools with you?" Gu Sisi curiously picked up a stethoscope and asked Ji Ling.
"Oh, this is just my habit. I always carry some basic medical tools with me. You know, if I happen to come across someone in danger on the road, I can save them." Having gained the experience of spouting nonsense seriously just now, Ji Ling was much smoother this time. He didn't even need Gu Chenfei to lead the way.
"I see. Mr. Ji is really a kind person. There aren't many people like you these days." Gu Sisi sincerely praised him.
"Where, where. Saving lives is a doctor's bounden duty. Miss Gu is overpraising me." In fact, Ji Ling was almost overjoyed. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Huo family and in front of Gu Sisi.
Otherwise, Ji Ling would have wanted to dance in front of Gu Chenfei, wriggling around to tell her that the person she held dearest, the person she liked, had praised him!
Ji Ling felt that he could brag about this for a whole year. Gu Sisi didn't know that because of her inadvertent action, Ji Ling was dying to hug and kiss her.
Gu Chenfei, on the other hand, stood beside with her arms folded, listening to Ji Ling spout nonsense. Her hand was already ready. Having been friends with Ji Ling for so many years, how could she not see what he was thinking?
As for Gu Sisi, Gu Chenfei couldn't help but rub her forehead. She was really headache - ridden. Gu Chenfei could hardly imagine how Huo Cheng managed to watch over his wife.
This girl, why did she believe whatever others said? Clearly, Ji Ling's acting was so poor and there were so many loopholes in what he said, yet Gu Sisi only suspected a little bit.
Gu Chenfei didn't know what kind of contradictory psychology she had. On the one hand, she hoped that Gu Sisi wouldn't find out; on the other hand, she hoped that Gu Sisi could be a bit smarter and see the loopholes.
But Gu Chenfei still thought that it would be better for her to watch over Gu Sisi in the future. Watching her was safer than letting her grow up on her own. Growing up alone was built on many falls.
Gu Chenfei didn't want Gu Sisi to go through these. She believed that Huo Cheng didn't want that either. If Huo Cheng couldn't keep Gu Sisi safe, then she would take on the task of protecting Gu Sisi.
Gu Chenfei had always been dissatisfied with Huo Cheng, or rather, the Huo family.
The Huo family was a too complicated place. For her, the Huo family was a cage; for Gu Sisi, the Huo family was a place of death.
"Sisi, it's very late. You should go to bed." Gu Chenfei finally spoke.
Gu Sisi raised her hand to check her watch. It was indeed very late.
"I'll find a room for Mr. Ji. It's too late today. Mr. Ji, why don't you stay here for the night and leave after breakfast tomorrow."
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows at Gu Chenfei, and she gave her tacit consent.
"Haha, I'm really sorry to trouble you, Miss Gu." Ji Ling replied with a smiling face.
"Mr. Ji, follow me." Gu Sisi led him to the second floor and only then realized that there were no empty rooms. She was a bit embarrassed for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. There are no guest rooms in our house. How about this? You can sleep in my room."
"That's out of the question, Miss Gu. This won't do." Ji Ling thought that if he occupied Gu Sisi's room, Gu Chenfei would surely kill him. Just thinking about being fried or stewed made Ji Ling shudder.
"How about this, Sisi. Let Ji Ling sleep in my room. I'll sleep with you later."
"Is that okay?" As if afraid that Gu Sisi wouldn't agree, Gu Chenfei asked cautiously.
"Um..." Gu Sisi was really stunned for a moment. Maybe she didn't expect Gu Chenfei to make such a request on her own initiative. She was such a cold - looking person. Why would she want to sleep with her?
Gu Sisi couldn't figure it out.
But since Gu Chenfei had said so, and after thinking about it carefully, there was no other solution, so Gu Sisi nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ji Ling was completely at a loss. Gu Chenfei actually said that she would sleep with someone else. Although the other person was a woman, that was exactly what was strange.
Ji Ling knew Gu Chenfei well. This person had extreme cleanliness and didn't like to sleep with others. He remembered that Xiaotao had said that even when they were on the best of terms, she had never slept with Gu Chenfei because Gu Chenfei didn't accept it.
Thinking about the relationship between Xiaotao and Gu Chenfei back then, Gu Chenfei still didn't accept it. As far as Ji Ling knew, Gu Chenfei had only known Gu Sisi for one or two weeks. How could she be willing to sleep with her?
And it was Gu Chenfei herself who said it. Ji Ling was even more curious.
There must be something fishy going on. Ji Ling was certain.
"Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji?" Gu Sisi looked at Ji Ling. She didn't know what was wrong with this man. He frowned one moment and smiled the next. He seemed to be in a daze, but also not quite.
"Yes, yes, yes. What's up, Miss Gu?" Ji Ling came back to his senses.
"Um, Chenfei's room is here." Gu Sisi led Ji Ling to the place where Gu Chenfei lived.
Ji Ling noticed that Gu Sisi called Gu Chenfei "Chenfei" and Gu Chenfei called her "Sisi". Oh, these two were really affectionate. A sly smile flashed across Ji Ling's face.
"Sisi, you go to sleep first. I still have something to talk to Ji Ling about." Just as Ji Ling and Gu Sisi were about to step into Gu Chenfei's room, Gu Chenfei suddenly said.
