Gu Xinzhou was held so tightly by Song Zhen that she couldn't catch her breath.
She was somewhat speechless.
Song Zhen, such a wise man capable of understanding everything, couldn't see that she was faking?
Even if her acting had been too good at first, after the mistakes and scolding him later on, he should have realized it!
"Zhouzhou~ my Zhouzhou~"
Song Zhen helped her up with delight, sat beside her, and held her hands tightly.
Gu Xinzhou was stiff all over.
She felt uncomfortable all over because he took her pretense for truth.
Moreover...
His concerned appearance somewhat scared her.
His eyes were red, his face pale, these clear, genuine reactions showed he was truly terrified something bad had happened to her!
Gu Xinzhou was momentarily stunned and did not immediately withdraw her hands.
She looked at him, confused and perplexed.
A knock on the door came: "Director Song, your medical department colleagues are here."
Song Zhen quickly said, "Come in!"
He patted the back of her hand to reassure her, "Let the doctor check on you."
Then, he stood up, abandoning his usual calm and hurried towards the refrigerator door.
He took out an unopened bottle of mineral water from inside.
Gu Xinzhou stopped looking at him and immediately turned her gaze toward the door.
Qi Lei came in leading a few people carrying medical kits.
Qi Lei had worked with Song Zhen for many years.
Five years ago, when Qi Lei's wife was close to her due date, it was he who asked Gu Xinzhou to take care of the drunken Song Zhen, leading to that night.
Meeting again, Gu Xinzhou felt somewhat embarrassed.
Qi Lei also had not expected Gu Xinzhou to appear in Song Zhen's office.
He looked at Gu Xinzhou with a hint of uncertainty, then joyfully said, "Miss Gu? You've grown up?"
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
"Nonsense!" Song Zhen came over with a cup of water.
He handed the water to Gu Xinzhou, but she didn't take it.
There was a slight awkwardness spreading through the air.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting there to be someone who wouldn't give Director Song face?
Song Zhen, however, just smiled faintly, not minding her cold expression, and placed the water on the coffee table in front of her, tenderly said, "Qi Lei is still like that, he doesn't know how to speak, don't mind him!"
Qi Lei smiled naively, repeatedly saying, "Yes, yes!
Miss Gu was a teenager when she went abroad to study, and now it's been five years, hasn't she grown up?
Hehehe, my bad, I can't speak well!"
Song Zhen looked up: "Where are the flowers?"
Qi Lei: "Ah?"
Song Zhen: "The flowers I asked you to order?"
Qi Lei: "They are... in my office."
When Song Zhen asked for the flowers, he said they were for his lover.
Qi Lei didn't comprehend at the moment.
Only when Song Zhen rolled his eyes at him, even showing disdain, did he realize it!
But he still asked again, "Who are they for?"
Song Zhen really wanted to kick him to death: "Bring them here!"
"Yes, yes!" Qi Lei immediately turned and left!
When they had come in, Gu Xinzhou hadn't noticed how they entered.
The door certainly clicked open just like that.
But as Qi Lei went out, Gu Xinzhou saw it very clearly.
Qi Lei pressed on the doorknob touchscreen a short pattern twice and once longer, three times in total.
The large door clicked, and then opened.
Under Song Zhen's direction, the medical department conducted a preliminary checkup on Gu Xinzhou.
It included checking her blood pressure, heart rate, auscultation, and so on.
Gu Xinzhou cooperated while pondering how to escape.
Song Zhen sat on a sofa not too far away, capturing all her expressions.
He smiled slightly with pleasure.
