Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor

Chapter 155 Leaning In His Arms

Gu Shen retracted his hand reluctantly. He glanced at Zhou Xu. “I wonder if Doctor Zhou likes the food.”

“Yeah, pretty good. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, for your hospitality,” Zhou Xu answered without raising his head.

Gu Shen smiled. “You’re welcome.”

After the meal, Yan Xi cleared the table. Zhou Xu quickly stood up and helped her.

Gu Shen picked up the plates and wiped the stain on the conference table before saying, “Done.”

He raised his head and looked at Yan Xi expectantly, as if waiting for her praise.

Yan Xi turned around and complemented Gu Shen. She looked down and saw the stain on his hand. “Next time, leave it to me.” Yan Xi said as she helped him wipe the stain on his hand with a wet towel.

“I don’t want you to do this kind of thing.” Gu Shen frowned. “Next time, ask Gu Qi to come with us. He can clean it up pretty quickly.”

Yan Xi felt uneasy letting a retired soldier do such a small thing like delivering food and wiping the table. She cleared her throat and said, “Talk about this later.”

DIIV

Zhou Xu silently wiped the table and pretended not to hear their conversation. All he wanted now was to put on the invisibility cape and get out of the room quietly.

However, the data problem had not been resolved.

Yan Xi cleaned up the rubbish on the table. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Zhou Xu was still wiping the table awkwardly and slowly, trying to stall for time.

“Hubby, Doctor Zhou has been busy for the entire morning. Let him rest first. That way, he’ll be full of energy when he treats you in the afternoon.”

Gu Shen did not speak.

Yan Xi was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Did Gu Shen really want Zhou Xu to change the data on the spot?

She thought for a while and pulled a chair to sit beside Gu Shen, saying softly, “Gu Shen, I’m a little tired too. I want to rest on your shoulder for a while.”

With her eyelids half closed, Yan Xi indeed looked very tired and sleepy.

“Doctor Zhou, go and rest too.” Gu Shen said politely, “Please tell the others to not walk around outside because my wife is a light sleeper.”

Zhou Xu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell them right away.” With that, he ran away without looking back.

After Zhou Xu left, Yan Xi leaned against Gu Shen’s shoulder. “Do you want to rest for a while too?”

“No need.” Gu Shen did not have the habit of taking lunch breaks. “I’ll read the document.”

“Okay.” Yan Xi found a comfortable position and closed her eyes. However, after a while, she felt quite uncomfortable because Gu Shen’s shoulder was too hard. “I think I’d better lie on the table.” She stood very reluctantly.

“Can’t sleep?”

“Your shoulder is too hard.” Yan Xi complained aggrievedly.

Gu Shen chuckled and hugged her waist, letting her sit on his lap. He moved the back of the wheelchair to a comfortable angle, just enough for Yan Xi to rest.

“Sleep now,” he said, his voice gentle.

It was the first time Yan Xi was so intimate with Gu Shen, so she was no longer sleepy. She raised her head to look at his side profile.

Gu Shen’s mother was from a coastal city and was very pretty, so Gu Shen had a face that resembled the sea, sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce.

Yan Xi’s gaze gradually moved down from his chin to his Adam’s apple. His Adam’s apple was very sexy and when it bobbed, it was very obvious, looking very tempting.

Yan Xi reached out her hand to touch it.

Feeling the touch, Gu Shen looked down at her.

Yan Xi didn’t want to leave his arms, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Gu Shen smiled slightly. He looked at the tablet and continued to process the documents.

The surroundings had already fallen silent, leaving only the sound of their breaths. The sun shone through the window, giving the room a warm tone.

The beauty of this moment almost made Gu Shen drown in it. He lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Xi’s peaceful sleeping face.

Gu Shen had always felt that he was lucky to have Yan Xi in his life. He hugged the woman in his arms, wanting this moment to last forever.
