Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Oh, Then You Might Have to Get Used to It Slowly

As she was playing a game, a figure stood outside the hospital room, quietly watching.

It wasn’t anyone else; it was Lu Heng.

Lu Heng stared intently at the person inside.

He had heard she was shot, and although her life had been in danger, he never came to see her. He was heading to Jiangcheng tomorrow and came to get some medicine, so he stopped by.

Through the glass, he saw the girl who should have been in misery comfortably leaning on the pillow, secretly playing a game with great concentration, her little face fixed on the phone without moving.

She was a bit frailer, but softer than the arrogant image in his memory.

Lu Heng never liked delicate girls, always found them pretentious, but when he saw Gu Anxi leaning against the pillow, his heart stirred, and he suddenly wished she was leaning against him instead.

He also knew she almost... ended, and chuckled lightly: "Really lucky!"

Lu Heng didn’t plan to go inside; he turned to leave, but Bo Xichen was standing behind him, who knows for how long.

Lu Heng despised Bo Xichen the most. Compared to the Bo Family, the Lu Family was like an embarrassing mistress seen in public, and now he got caught peeking at someone’s wife, feeling a bit mortified.

Lu Heng squinted slightly and opened his mouth softly: "I heard your wife got shot, came to check on her."

Bo Xichen was quite polite: "Thank you, Brother Lu."

He glanced at Lu Heng’s hands.

Lu Heng was suddenly a bit embarrassed.

He hadn’t brought any gifts.

Bo Xichen spoke understandingly: "I know the Lu Family has had a tough time recently, several projects losing money..."

Before he could finish, Lu Heng interrupted, calmly saying: "I just saw a shop downstairs, the fruits look fresh, I’ll go buy some."

Bo Xichen smiled faintly: "Thank you, Brother Lu."

Lu Heng grinded his teeth slightly: "It’s the right thing to do."

After he left, Bo Xichen then pushed the door open to enter, and that naughty little one was completely unaware, still playing games. He went over, took the phone from her hand, and coughed lightly: "Injured like this, and still playing."

Gu Anxi’s hands were suddenly empty, she looked up and whispered: "Don’t tell Bo Mom."

Bo Xichen sat down beside her, smiled slightly: "Afraid of her scolding yet you dare to play with your phone?"

She stuck out her tongue, obediently leaning against him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Bo Xichen carefully pulled open a little of the hospital gown to check the wound, it was fortunately intact.

He helped her tidy up and then said: "No more playing next time."

Saying that, he put her phone in his pocket. The little one was anxious, coquettishly begging and promising, willing to say anything. Bo Xichen looked at her and, after a while, helplessly returned the phone to her: "Always disobedient."

She knew what he meant, nothing more than using herself to block Wang Jingyao when he wasn’t around. She had no explanation, knowing her uncle was concerned, just leaned in his arms and whispered that it didn’t hurt anymore.

Bo Xichen looked at her little appearance, wishing to strangle her, but in the end, he just gave her a hard kiss and was done. Just at that moment, Lu Heng returned with the fruits and was about to enter, only to see the intimate scene in the hospital room...

He couldn’t see everything, but saw Bo Xichen leaning down, with a pair of pale, slender arms around his neck... The scene was very tender.

In Lu Heng’s memory, Bo Xichen was always detached, almost not interested in women.

So even though he knew they were a couple, he never imagined they could be this intimate, but the scene before him easily shattered that notion, a slight jealousy rose in his heart... his gaze became more intense.

He wanted to replace Bo Xichen, to be the one who could do whatever he wanted to her.

After a long time, Bo Xichen finally released Gu Anxi, speaking with a hoarse voice, said something making Gu Anxi look up at him, listening to him scold her, very obediently...

Lu Heng wanted to keep watching, but Madam Bo stretched lazily from inside and, seeing the scene before her, exploded—

"Xichen, you’re bullying little one again!"

"She’s already so injured, and you’re only thinking about yourself."

"Makes me so mad, so mad."

Madam Bo drove Little Uncle Bo away, hurriedly checking if the little one had any problems, completely forgetting her son was the world’s best doctor.

When Bo Xichen came out, he saw Lu Heng was still there.

Lu Heng lifted his chin: "Couldn’t help yourself?"

Bo Xichen smiled, softly spoken: "Yes, why don’t you go in?"

Lu Heng lowered his eyes: "Seems quite inconvenient!"

Bo Xichen lightly tapped his shoulder, smiling lightly: "You’ll get used to it after a while."

Used to it? Get used to what?

A hint of mischief flashed in Lu Heng’s eyes, recalling the pale, jade-like arms of earlier, his heart fluttered.

He used to think she was just beautiful and arrogant, but now he realized she was also soft, especially when nestled in Bo Xichen’s arms, her little demeanor made one want to conquer her.

Besides, snatching something from Bo Xichen would be fun.

Lu Heng wasn’t in the mood to stay longer, putting the fruit in Bo Xichen’s hand: "I’ve seen enough, leaving first."

He turned and left, not bothering with formalities, as their relationship never needed much courtesy.

Bo Xichen watched Lu Heng’s back, smiled lightly, and also left.

Back at the office, he casually gave the fruit to the assistant: "You eat this."

The assistant was a bit puzzled: "This is actually good, it’s what Anxi likes to eat."

Bo Little Uncle chuckled: "She doesn’t like it anymore."

The little assistant was dumbfounded.

In the afternoon, Wang Keru came over, as a biological mother, she was exceptionally tender, serving soup and meals every day.

After eating, Gu Anxi comfortably leaned against her, and Wang Keru seized the time to enjoy this parent-child bonding, fearing Madam Bo might at any time ask her to leave.

With two mothers taking care of her this way, Gu Anxi was practically on cloud nine, forgetting all about the pain.

At five o’clock, as Wang Keru was about to leave, she saw Gu Mingzhu entering, crying like a sad little kitten. She never liked Gu Mingzhu, pursed her lips: "Visiting patients while crying like this isn’t good."

Originally wanting to say something cutting, but remembering the other didn’t even have a mother, she swallowed her words.

Gu Mingzhu ignored her, directly pounced beside Gu Anxi, looking like a sad kitten: "I came to visit you."

Gu Anxi secretly rolled her eyes, filled with nothing but disdain.

However, she let Wang Keru leave first, Wang Keru worriedly saying: "Lin Yun, keep an eye on things, I’m afraid little one will be bullied."

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, stomping her foot: "She’s already like this, if she wanted to kill me, it would be easy." Besides, could she even bully Gu Anxi?

Madam Bo just smiled: "No worries, I’m here."

Wang Keru then left with relief.
