Li Sui’an has been working towards drugs for greater than ten years. Together with the instances he has encountered from undergraduate to doctoral research, there are only some like Ji Ruan, who could make him really feel nauseous simply by listening to their signs.  

Time handed silently for some time, and Gu Xiuyi appeared to have tasted the earlier phrases from starting to finish earlier than talking evenly: “I am not that charming, and besides–”   

He checked out Li Sui’an and raised a slight arc on the nook of his lips. “Do you assume he has any room for resistance?” 

Li Sui’an and he checked out one another, and immediately his coronary heart moved. It was like a drop of ice falling right into a deep pool, inflicting a slight and chilly ripple. When the ripples unfold out utterly, the coldness additionally crawled throughout his limbs.   

He immediately understood what Gu Xiuyi had been saying all alongside, that Ji Ruan was essentially the most appropriate marriage associate. 

He knew that Gu Xiuyi wanted a wedding associate due to a pile of household issues. At first, when he noticed Ji Ruan, he thought that the surname Gu had chosen a intelligent and unobtrusive individual based mostly on his character.  

Now, evidently Ji Ruan’s weak point appears to suit his thoughts completely.  

Ji Ruan had no dad and mom or kinfolk, and his social relations had been weak. All the pieces about him may very well be managed by Gu Xiuyi. Even when he tried his finest, he couldn’t create any waves. 

There was no room for resistance, nor the power.  

Gu Xiuyi had chosen a particularly fragile little animal, just a little animal that he didn’t have to spend any vitality to utterly management.  

If Ji Ruan actually had the concepts that Gu Xiuyi did not need him to have sooner or later, and at some point he disappeared, would anybody even discover?

Li Sui’an was chilled by his personal ideas. “Wow, you are actually ruthless, Mr. Gu.” 

Gu Xiuyi shook his head gently. “Do not all the time assume within the worst route. Actually, it is going to solely be three years later that he’ll take the cash and depart. I’ll get what I would like, it is that straightforward.” 

Li Sui’an knew very nicely that though Gu Xiuyi was chilly and expressionless, his aura had all the time been light, because of his good therapy of individuals. 

Track Ling heard motion from the again seat and could not assist however flip round. His boss was calmly emphasizing the phrases of the contract to Ji Ruan, one after the other. 

In the meantime, Ji Ruan sat on the aspect, head down, his lengthy eyelashes protecting his eyes, making it tough to discern his feelings. He appeared skinny and desolate. 

Simply now, Lily had texted him that Ji Ruan had heard the dialog between Gu Xiuyi and Li Sui’an whereas standing outdoors the door! He was so upset that he virtually cried! 

Now, his boss was coldly laying out the principles, which was actually poking at his coronary heart! 

Track Ling could not bear to see it, however he dared not converse up rashly. He may solely fastidiously observe the scenario from the passenger seat, feeling anxious.  

“Lastly, after the contract expires in three years, taking the cash and leaving quietly is the most effective final result.” 

After Gu Xiuyi completed explaining the final merchandise, he calmly checked out Ji Ruan, who was sitting by the automotive window, with out a right away response.  

Gu Xiuyi did not strain him and patiently gave him a while to react. 

It wasn’t till all 4 pairs of eyes had been centered on him that Ji Ruan realized that Gu Xiuyi gave the impression to be talking to him. 

Earlier than leaving the hospital, Li Sui’an particularly instructed them to not flip off the brand new extracorporeal machine and to get used to it.  

Nevertheless, this new gadget was far more costly than the earlier one, and it was additionally clearer and extra delicate. Ji Ruan could not adapt to it without delay and was exhausted. He secretly turned it off after getting within the automotive.  

Gu Xiuyi stated one thing, however Ji Ruan did not hear it in any respect.  

Ji Ruan secretly felt the present ambiance. He ought to have stated one thing severe, however his state is basically poor. Just a bit pondering twice induced his temples to leap and made him not wish to use his mind in any respect.  

Ji Ruan sighed and rubbed his brow. He quietly turned on his cochlear implant and smiled at Gu Xiuyi, “Sorry, I did not hear you clearly.” 

He seemed pale and drained, with purple eyes and a shaky look.  

Track Ling in entrance of them felt responsible for Gu Xiuyi. Ji Ruan seemed so unhappy and tried to power a smile.

Track Ling urgently checked out Gu Xiuyi, and it appeared that even his boss, who had by no means proven any emotion, was shocked by Ji Ruan’s look.  

His jaw tightened violently for a second, after which he tilted his head to look out the window. The ambiance solidified for a very long time.  A lightweight sigh from Gu Xiuyi got here from the again seat: “Flip round and go residence.” 

Ji Ruan did not perceive what was happening and sat up straight, asking, “What does that imply?” 

Gu Xiuyi saved his eyes on the paperwork in his palms and did not reply to Ji Ruan in any respect, “It is best to return and relaxation.” 

Ji Ruan was a bit shocked by the sudden change and could not assume clearly anymore. He requested, “What concerning the marriage certificates?” 

“Tomorrow”
