Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 555 - 556: Insane Possessiveness

Gu Anxi nodded. "Do you have trouble with insomnia?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "I have mild depression and have suffered from insomnia for many years."

Gu Anxi didn’t show any surprise, as that would be disrespectful. She pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Have you taken any medication?"

Zhou Yu gave a faint smile. "I always do. It’s not severe, but there’s no improvement."

Her illness wasn’t something medication alone could cure. Only by divorcing and leaving Min Xin could she recover. As long as she remained by his side, enduring his torment, her recovery was unlikely.

Gu Anxi had somewhat guessed the situation and said softly, "You should go out more, see the outside world, and interact with more people. It might be beneficial for your health."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly. "You are right."

A slight shiver went through Gu Anxi. Has it reached this point? She doesn’t even want to go out anymore?

Zhou Yu lowered her gaze. "So, I would like you to prepare a fragrance that can help me sleep more comfortably and naturally."

At this, Gu Anxi was somewhat confused and quietly asked, "You could choose sleeping pills if your insomnia is severe."

"He won’t let me." Zhou Yu gently closed her eyes. "He threw away all the sleeping pills at home and refused to let me see a doctor, insisting I’m healthy."

Gu Anxi was stunned and wanted to curse. Isn’t Min Xin the one who’s unhealthy? How twisted must his mind be to control a woman like this!

Gu Anxi sensed that the couple’s relationship was more intricate and dramatic than any novel. However, she couldn’t intervene. Min Xin wasn’t someone she could afford to provoke; she’d be in serious trouble if she tried.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Alright, I’ll prepare a special fragrance to help you sleep more comfortably."

Besides the fragrance, she also planned to concoct a special essential oil to help her relax.

Zhou Yu thanked her and offered to pay, but Gu Anxi said directly, "I’ll ask my elder brother for it."

She winked and made a face.

King Jingyao laughed and scolded, "See? She’s just like a vampire, always wanting a piece of anything good I have."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly. Her smile was truly beautiful—an elegant and pure beauty, not the seductive kind.

Even Gu Anxi was a bit stunned. Min Xin sure is lucky!

In the end, Zhou Yu left first. King Jingyao went to see her off, telling Gu Anxi to wait as he had something to discuss with her.

Gu Anxi waited obediently.

After a few minutes, King Jingyao returned, his expression grim.

He sat next to Gu Anxi, remaining silent.

Gu Anxi nudged his arm. "Hey!"

King Jingyao snapped back to reality and spoke in a low voice, "Zhou Yu was deeply in love with Min Xin in the past. Even though she married him, she believed Min Xin loved her for herself, not for the Zhou Family’s power."

Gu Anxi interjected, "And then it turned into the story of the farmer and the snake, didn’t it?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

King Jingyao looked at her and sighed lightly. "It’s also not convenient for me to get too close to her. Min Xin is the jealous type and has made far too many enemies. He doesn’t even allow Zhou Yu to take medication."

Gu Anxi stuck out her tongue. "It’s a miracle she’s still alive then."

Such a beautiful woman, enduring Min Xin’s warped love... The thought made Gu Anxi’s imagination run wild.

She paused for a moment before finally asking, "Does Zhou Yu still love Min Xin?"

"Not anymore, I imagine," King Jingyao said, lighting a cigarette. "Who could, under those circumstances?"

Gu Anxi gazed at him earnestly, then said quietly, "But I don’t think Min Xin refuses to divorce for face or for the Zhou Family’s sake. He simply doesn’t want to let Zhou Yu go. Think about it: with Zhou Yu’s looks, even in her 40s, I believe plenty of men would be eager to cherish her. She’s never had children and still looks as youthful as a girl. If she ended up with someone else, a man with Min Xin’s temperament would probably go insane."

Her elder brother glanced at her. "You’re just a child. What do you know about love?"

Gu Anxi scoffed lightly. "How would I not know? At least my judgment is better than yours. Elder brother, you had that ambiguous thing with Jiang Chaoge back then, don’t deny it. I have the juicy details."

King Jingyao glared at her. "You naughty girl! That was just harmless flirting, wasn’t it?"

"See? You powerful people call your own indiscretions ’harmless flirting.’ And then what? A beautiful woman like Sister Zhou Yu gets depressed but doesn’t divorce." The little brat sighed. "I truly pity Sister Zhou."
