Gu Zheng felt a stinging pain in his eyes and closed them in exhaustion. The terrifying memories of his childhood surfaced in his mind. His lips turned pale, and his breathing became hurried.

Even though more than a decade had passed, his emotions would still fluctuate when he thought about those dark and painful days. At that time, he was locked up in Maple Garden by Huang Lilan and suffered abuse every day.

In the darkness, he gritted his teeth and endured the whipping and cursing. The hatred in his heart grew like vines and corroded his heart.

The accident had brought bad memories back to his mind. He had a bad feeling. Maybe…

Gu Zheng rubbed his eyes, and his eyes swelled up. He forcefully endured this discomfort and opened his eyes as he was deeply afraid of being discovered by Qiao Xi.

However, Qiao Xi could still see the exhaustion in his eyes. She asked softly, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Gu Zheng shook his head and pretended to be calm. There was a hint of warmth in his deep eyes.

Hearing that Gu Zheng was about to be discharged from the hospital, Gu Yao rushed over to pick him up. When he saw Gu Zheng’s cold gaze, he could not help but be shocked. “F*ck! Big Brother! Your gaze is killing me!”

Gu Yao and Gu Zheng had grown up together, so Gu Yao thought that he understood Gu Zheng very well. He disdained to pretend in front of others, but in front of Qiao Xi, he would always pretend to be gentle and warm. But now, Gu Zheng’s face was cold. Gu Yao felt a chill go down his spine just by looking at him.

“Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll send you home.”

Gu Yao was afraid that he would run into the same situation as before. Before he got into the car, he checked the car. After confirming that there was no problem, he drove the two of them back to Longwan Residential.

After getting out of the car, Qiao Xi asked with a worried expression, “Gu Zheng, did… you not rest well?”

Third Brother said that Gu Zheng’s physique was very good and he was fine. Logically speaking, he should be fine, but his complexion was not too good.

Gu Zheng felt that his mind was a mess, and his temples were throbbing. His footsteps were weak, and his gaze had turned sharp. “I’m fine. I’ll go upstairs first.”

Qiao Xi didn’t pursue the matter. After two hours, she quietly went to his room and saw him lying on the bed with a frown and pale lips.

She was a little confused. He had been normal in the morning, but after Song Shiyu told them about the mastermind behind the accident, something went wrong.

Actually, everyone knew in their hearts that Qiao Rou was just a scapegoat. The real masterminds were Gu Weiming and Lu Yan. However, did she not understand why this matter affected Gu Zheng so much?

“Qiao Xi.” It was unknown how long Gu Yao had entered the room. Seeing that Gu Zheng was sleeping, he pulled her out of the door. “Come downstairs with me, I have a gift for you.”

“You got injured because of the car accident. You’re also a patient, yet you stayed in the hospital to take care of my brother for so long. It’s been hard on you, so I prepared a gift for you. Not only are you sure to like it, but I’m sure Gu Zheng will like it too!”

Qiao Xi was almost moved to tears. Gu Yao was really a little angel. Not only did he carry the heavy responsibility of the company during this period, but he even took the time to prepare a gift for them!

After going downstairs, Qiao Xi immediately saw a few pink boxes on the sofa. They were exquisitely packaged with a black bow on top.

Gu Yao rushed over and opened the boxes one by one, revealing the things inside. The smile on Qiao Xi’s face gradually disappeared.

On the other hand, Gu Yao was excited. “Qiao Xi! You like them, right? I spent a long time choosing them, and these styles are all very good. Gu Zheng and I are biological brothers, so he’ll definitely like the styles I like! Why are you blushing?! We’re both adults. What’s there to be embarrassed about?! I just think that since you guys haven’t been intimate for half a month, you guys should have some fun now! That’s why I prepared these things. Hahaha!”

Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Someone come quickly! Throw this hooligan out!’

Gu Yao continued, “Don’t look down on the nightwear. Just these few pieces of fabric cost me a lot of money! After all, they’re nightwear. You’ll be sleeping in them, so you have to consider the quality and comfort. I was afraid that Gu Zheng would tear the nightwear apart if he got too agitated, so I bought the ones with straps. As long as he pulls the straps, the nightwear will automatically come undone! Amazing, right?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s only right that I do this!”
