Rong Yu saw the expression on Gu Qingchen’s face and suddenly laughed out loud. He seemed to be in a good mood.

“Rest assured and sleep at night. With my poor condition, I can’t even take whatever I have been offered.”

Gu Qingchen could only feel the tip of her brows twitching involuntarily.

“Are you saying that I’m not attractive enough?”

Rong Yu’s smile had a hint of something, and his black eyes flashed. “Why? Are you very disappointed, Doctor Gu?”

Gu Qingchen only felt that her forehead was full of black lines. Rong Yu knew too well the art of speech. No matter what she said, it did not seem to be appropriate.

Indeed, when she was with Rong Yu, who had an extremely high-risk factor, she could not be distracted for even a minute. Every minute seemed to be an intelligence competition.

“What are you going to do about the mercenaries?”

Gu Qingchen could only change the topic. She could do her best to protect Rong Yu, but the matter of the mercenaries had to be resolved. Gu Qingchen felt that Young Master Rong should have a solution.

“When the enemies come, we will block them. Since they have spent a lot of money to hire mercenaries to kill me, we have to let them spend the money first.”

Pfft!

Although Gu Qingchen did not hear any solution from Rong Yu, from what he said, it was clear that he wanted to fight the Jiang family.

To put it simply, even if he wanted to settle this matter, he had to let the Jiang family spend the money first.

He was indeed a merciless person. However, with Rong Yu’s words, Gu Qingchen was relieved. She did not want to implicate Rong Yu because of her.

“I heard that you have been busy with the business of the Jade Stone Store recently. You have to run the shop, study medicine, and attend school. Doctor Gu is really energetic.”

Gu Qingchen was not surprised that Rong Yu knew that she was going to open a jade stone shop. She did not hide the fact. Previously, the media had done a lot of publicity, let alone someone like Rong Yu, many ordinary people knew that her jade shop was going to open.

“I can handle it for the time being. Besides, you’re the only patient I have now, so I’m not too busy.”

Rong Yu nodded noncommittally, but he had no intention of leaving. It was already late.

“It’s a good habit to sleep before eleven every day. It’s good for your body.”

Rong Yu’s health was not good, so he should pay more attention to his rest time.

“Are you asking me to leave? Haha, it’s really late. Doctor Gu should rest early too. There’s a banquet to attend tomorrow. Are you free?”

Banquet?

It seemed that Gu Qingchen had not attended a banquet for a long time. Moreover, the ones she had attended in the past were not pure banquets. They were just small-scale gatherings.

“I’m afraid it’s not suitable for me to attend your banquet.”

Who was Rong Yu? The banquet he was going to attend was definitely of the highest scale. Although Gu Qingchen did not think that her future achievements would be inferior to those people, but looking at it now, she really had no way of fitting into that circle.

“But if those mercenaries…”

“Okay, what time tomorrow?”

Before Rong Yu could finish, Gu Qingchen agreed readily. Who asked her to cause so much trouble for Rong Yu? It was indeed her responsibility.

The smile on Rong Yu’s lips deepened and he nodded, “Butler Qin will send you clothes tomorrow. Just pick what you like.”

After saying that, Rong Yu went back to his room from the inner door. Looking at the closed door, Gu Qingchen was thinking whether to push a wardrobe over.

After looking around, Gu Qingchen gave up on this idea. She went into the bathroom and locked the door. Looking at the bathtub that was just delivered, she decided to enjoy the luxurious bath tonight.

Lying in the bathtub, Gu Qingchen felt really comfortable. No wonder Rong Yu liked it so much.

Smelling the scent of the wood, Gu Qingchen relaxed and slowly fell asleep.

That night, Gu Qingchen lay in the bathtub and slept for the whole night.

When she woke up the next morning, Gu Qingchen realized that Rong Yu was right. She was too relaxed in the bathtub and fell asleep immediately.

After soaking in the water for the whole night, she felt that her whole body was bloated. After changing her clothes, she felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe she had a cold.

However, Gu Qingchen was surprised to find that after the whole night, she was still full of energy despite feeling a little unwell. She even felt that she could read minds more than five times today.

This was really strange. She had never felt this way before. Could it be because of the agarwood?

No matter what, this was a good thing for Gu Qingchen. If the agarwood bathtub really had such an obvious effect on her, she really had to soak in it every day from now on. It was better for her to keep the bathtub.

During breakfast in the morning, Gu Qingchen could not help but sneeze a few times. Butler Qin looked at her in fear. His eyes kept on Young Master Rong, waiting for Young Master Rong to order a new table of food.

Although Gu Qingchen did not sneeze at the table, Butler Qin had always felt that Young Master was already at his limit to tolerate eating breakfast with Gu Qingchen. Young Master Rong would definitely not be able to tolerate a few sneezes.

Sure enough, Butler Qin saw Rong Yu frown slightly. However, just as Butler Qin was about to order a new breakfast, Rong Yu only said, “Did you soak in the bathtub for the whole night?”

Uh…

Butler Qin was a little dumbfounded. Young Master frowned not because of Gu Qingchen’s sneeze, but because she had soaked in the bathtub for the whole night?

Wasn’t this too abnormal?

Butler Qin took a deep look at Gu Qingchen, and his impression of Gu Qingchen increased by many levels.

Gu Qingchen smiled apologetically. She knew that it was a little impolite, and now that she knew that Rong Yu was a germaphobe, she felt a little embarrassed.

“I accidentally fell asleep.”

Rong Yu’s frown deepened, and his tone was no longer as lazy as usual. “How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Gu Qingchen shook her head with a smile, “I’m fine. It’s just a slight cold. After soaking in the tub for a night, I discovered in the morning that the agarwood tub could really relax my mind. Now I feel refreshed, and my state of mind is much better.”

Rong Yu was stunned, and his expression was a little strange. He looked at Gu Qingchen’s eyes, and there was a hint of surprise, but also a hint of doubt. It was just a moment, and Gu Qingchen could not be sure.

“It’s good that you’re fine. Next time, don’t fall asleep again. Although the agarwood has the effect of calming the mind, it’s not good for the body to smell too much.”

Gu Qingchen felt that there was something hidden in Rong Yu’s words, as if there was something she did not know. It was a very strange feeling.

“Yes. By the way, who are the people attending tonight’s banquet?”

Gu Qingchen needed to know who were attending tonight’s banquet so that she could prepare in advance.

“It’s just a small family gathering. Most of them are from the Rong family, and there are also some people who are close to the Rong family. You can ignore these people and just stay by my side.”

Rong Yu finished his breakfast elegantly and wiped his hands and mouth. Butler Qin quickly served him a cup of specially made fruit juice.
