Chapter 183: The Legs are Recovering

Yan Xi locked the door after returning to her room. She sat on the bed and carefully lifted her clothes.

Only then did she realize that her chest had been bitten red and there was a bite mark on it. Her face turned red.

Yan Xi was not prepared for an intimate interaction like that at all, so the moment she sensed that Gu Shen was about to do something, she was scared away.

Yan Xi put down the clothes and her mind was in a mess. After a while, she started to worry if Gu Shen would be angry with her again for being resistant.

The two of them were a married couple now, so it was normal for Gu Shen to have such thoughts.

However, she wasn’t the one to blame. Yan Xi rarely interacted with men before she transmigrated into the book. She had never encountered such a situation. Moreover, Gu Shen even bit her chest.

That place, she didn’t even touch it with her own hands.

Suddenly, Yan XI remembered that she seemed to have bitten Gu Shen in the same place before.

She grabbed the water bottle on the table and took a sip to calm herself down. She planned to go see Gu Shen later.

…

Gu Shen was still sitting on the sofa. The numbness on his legs did not subside. Instead, it continued to affect him more and more.

However, Gu Shen was still unable to stand up yet. He took out his phone and was about to call Gu Yi when his phone rang.

It was Gu Liu.

“What is it?”

“CEO, I’ve already checked. Madam was indeed in the laboratory today, and Zhou Xu stayed up all night yesterday to observe the experimental data and has been sleeping today. It should be a coincidence that the two of them met.”

As Gu Shen’s personal assistant, Gu Liu was only responsible for finding and reporting the fact. However, this time, he couldn’t help but speak his mind, “I don’t think Madam is lying. She just got busy and forgot the time.”

He hoped that the CEO would not be too harsh on Yan Xi. After all, Yan Xi was so smart and cute.

“Got it.” Gu Shen asked coldly, “Where are you now?”

Gu Liu’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that Gu Shen wanted him to go to the basement to receive his punishment.

After mentally preparing himself, Gu Liu said fearfully, “I’m at Jingnan Villa.”

“Come to the home theater.” With that, he hung up.

Gu Shen sat back and recalled the sensation on his legs just now. For some reason, he was considering letting Yan Xi go back to study.

Yan Xi liked neurology very much and had been self-studying. She seemed to be talented. Before she could complete her previous studies, she was forced to drop out of school. This should be a regret for Yan Xi.

He did not want to see Yan Xi trapped at home. If Yan Xi wanted to, he would give her more freedom.

If Yan Xi had other dreams, as her husband, he should support her.

While he was thinking, the door of the home theater was pushed open again and Yan Xi’s head poked in.

“Gu Shen, are you still in here?”

After entering, she saw Gu Shen sitting quietly on the sofa in the same spot. The light from outside shone on his face, making him look even more unapproachable.

Yan Xi felt a little flustered, so she turned on the light.

The room suddenly lit up, making Gu Shen feel a little uncomfortable. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Xi.

Why did she come back all of a sudden?

“What’s wrong?” Yan Xi noticed that something was wrong with Gu Shen. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was much paler than usual.

Yan Xi immediately checked his temperature, but when she touched Gu Shen’s forehead, she frowned.

“You have a fever. I’ll get the thermometer!”

“Don’t go.” Gu Shen grabbed her hand and said hoarsely, “My legs are a little numb now.”

Yan Xi was stunned and her eyes widened. She got down to check his legs, her voice trembling with excitement.

“Are you feeling your legs?”

“Yeah.”

“I…” Her hands were already covered in sweat and they were so shaky that she almost dropped her phone. “I’ll call Zhou Xu now. We have to go to the hospital immediately to see what is going on.”

Gu Shen pursed his lips, looking unhappy.

“Even if you’re angry with me, you have to go to the hospital. When you get back from your checkup, you can do whatever you want with me.”

Gu Shen said with a sigh, “I still can’t move.”

Because she was too wild with excitement, Yan Xi forgot about it. She giggled. “Then I’ll get Gu Yi and the others to come over.”
