Chapter 130: Chapter 130: She Can’t Forget
Gu Yan indeed woke up in the afternoon, the glaring sunlight pouring through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving her a sense of feeling as if she were in a different world.
The memories of last night gradually returned, and her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. It was nothing short of a nightmare.
She was clearly in the bathtub, so why was she lying in bed now?
She must have fallen asleep, didn’t feel a thing. Was it Tang Yuxiu who came back and pulled her out?
Gu Yan couldn’t help but mock herself, after he humiliated her so harshly last night, why would he come back acting like a good person?
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Tang Yuxiu came in from outside.
As soon as Gu Yan saw him, her body instinctively shrank back a bit, her eyes showing a hint of fear and resistance.
Tang Yuxiu’s heart twisted suddenly, telling himself not to be angry. This was all his own doing, he deserved to endure this now.
He hadn’t slept all night, and still hadn’t rested until now.
Maybe knowing she was about to wake up, he just happened to go downstairs to the bathroom to take a shower, so he didn’t face her in his most unkempt appearance.
"You’re awake, I’ll go call someone to take a look at you."
Gu Yan clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, her body curled up into a ball, warily staring at him, but not answering his words.
Tang Yuxiu felt a wave of irritation in his heart, quickly turned around and went downstairs to drag Xiang Linghao up.
Seeing Gu Yan awake, Xiang Linghao smiled and greeted her kindly, "Miss Gu, do you still remember me?"
Gu Yan looked at him, her expression slightly relaxing, trying hard to recall, "The doctor from the hospital who bandaged me?"
"Yes, Miss Gu, glad you still remember me."
"Talking so much nonsense instead of checking the patient!" Tang Yuxiu interrupted him impatiently beside him.
Seeing Gu Yan’s completely different attitude towards Xiang Linghao and himself, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Xiang Linghao snorted, you’ll get your comeuppance!
He walked over and handed the thermometer to Gu Yan, "Miss Gu, you had a high fever last night and took some sleeping pills, so you’ve been asleep for a whole day and night. Let’s check your temperature again, if it’s normal, then nothing’s wrong."
Xiang Linghao, being a doctor, was much more amiable than others, and a friendly aura emanated from him, slightly relaxing Gu Yan’s tense heart. She nodded, extended a hand from under the quilt to take the thermometer from him and placed it into her mouth.
The tested temperature was a normal body temperature, Xiang Linghao nodded with satisfaction, "You’re fine now. Miss Gu should get plenty of rest. There will be considerable day-night temperature differences these days, so keep warm, or you’ll be prone to another fever."
"Thank you, I will be careful," she said softly.
"You’re welcome." Xiang Linghao smiled, "Well, since Miss Gu is fine, my job here is done. If you feel any discomfort, remember to let Young Master Tang know so I can come and take a look at you in time."
"Mm." Gu Yan responded faintly, not sparing Tang Yuxiu a single glance from start to finish, treating him as if he were invisible, though inwardly she was full of tension and fear.
The shadow of last night’s events was too overwhelming for her to forget or let go for a while, making it hard to normally face him.
Tang Yuxiu stood silently at the side, only escorting Xiang Linghao out when he was about to leave, eager to leave this suffocating bedroom.
Gu Yan’s wary tension towards him made him feel all over uncomfortable.
He didn’t want to look for another second.
