The other end of the phone was quiet, and He Jianchen's mood became depressed and uneasy. In fact, he didn't have much confidence when he said those words.
After all, the other party was Gu Nianxi's legendary violent ex-husband, and he was a little afraid of him. But after several contacts with Su Yuheng, He Jianchen found that he was not as scary as the legend said.
The car accident wiped away the sharpness and arrogance in Su Yuheng. He became cautious in everything, especially when dealing with Gu Nianxi.
When He Jianchen looked at him, he even saw a timid light in his eyes.
The more anxious people are, the more they will do things to relieve their anxiety.
Yesterday, he called Su Yuheng to witness their proposal ceremony just to make him completely give up on Gu Nianxi.
For countless nights, He Jianchen couldn't sleep. He knew very well that if Su Yuheng hadn't been able to return to the country due to medical treatment abroad, he wouldn't have had the chance to get close to Gu Nianxi. But if Su Yuheng had insisted on fighting for Gu Nianxi, he couldn't guarantee that he and Gu Nianxi would be together.
Gu Nianxi will still reach this point.
Although his relationship with Gu Nianxi has deepened now, he is still worried and uneasy. He is afraid that this man will come to destroy their relationship, so he presses forward step by step, hoping that he can retreat in spite of the difficulties.
But he didn't understand Su Yuheng, how could he be such a person?
The reason why he looked extremely cowardly in front of He Jianchen was because the woman he loved most was in his hands, and he was afraid that his excessive behavior would cause He Jianchen to transfer his anger towards Gu Nianxi.
He was afraid that she would be unhappy because of him.
He could see He Jianchen's kindness to her, and he could also see the happiness she gained in this relationship. If she was happy, he would be willing to quit.
But he retreated again and again, but was still regarded as a thorn in He Jianchen's side.
He Jianchen's repeated threats angered Su Yuheng.
He held the phone and opened his eyes, revealing a cold light.
"I'm a little curious, will she choose you or me? Let's give it a try."
Su Yuheng hung up the phone. He Jianchen stared at the phone, his chest feeling tight. Did Su Yuheng just make a declaration of war with him?
He Jianchen stood by the sink with an uneasy expression, and kept telling himself that no, he would not dare to act rashly for Gu Nianxi.
After a while, He Jianchen came back to his senses, slapped some water on his face, smiled in the mirror, and walked out the door.
Gu Nianxi, who had been waiting outside the men's room for a long time, almost asked someone to go in to find him, but when she saw him coming out, she hurried over.
"I thought you fell into a pit!" She patted He Jianchen on the arm, "Why did it take so long?"
"Oh, I have something to do at work, I just made a call."
"Then...do I need to go to the hospital?"
He Jianchen smiled and shook his head, "Quick, drive your car to my house."
Gu Nianxi was pushed forward by He Jianchen. Along the way, she noticed changes in his mood. In fact, when he came out of the bathroom, she noticed something was wrong with him.
"Did something happen at work?" she asked.
He Jianchen shook his head and said nothing.
His low mood made the sensitive Gu Nianxi a little overwhelmed. She stopped talking, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became tense.
"Nian Nian."
"Um?"
"Let's go get the certificate tomorrow."
"ah?"
He Jianchen just wanted to confirm their relationship quickly, but he didn't consider Gu Nianxi's feelings.
"Okay?"
"Isn't it...a little too fast?"
"No, I don't want to waste a minute."
Gu Nianxi was silent. She didn't know how to answer him. Didn't he just agree at her house yesterday to get the certificate in the spring next year? Why did he suddenly have to advance it to tomorrow?
"Jian Chen, didn't we agree on next spring? We can prepare during this period."
Her attitude made He Jianchen a little uneasy, and his emotions suddenly exploded, "Why was it so easy for you and others to get the certificate back then? How could it be so difficult for me!"
"..."
The car suddenly became deathly quiet. Gu Nianxi stared at He Jianchen blankly, her expression getting uglier.
This must be the first time he lost his temper at her.
What happened to him today?
Her silence and expression made He Jianchen realize his problem. He quickly parked the car on the side of the road and held Gu Nianxi, who was about to cry, in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Gu Nianxi didn't understand why he was so angry. She looked at He Jianchen in disbelief and waited for a while before speaking.
"I'd better go back first."
Gu Nianxi opened the door and got out of the car, and He Jianchen followed her out. He grabbed her wrist and held her in his arms.
"Nian Nian, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that, I was wrong." He grabbed Gu Nianxi's hand and slapped his face.
"It's okay, you don't need to apologize." Gu Nianxi didn't say anything, but she felt very sad in her heart. His words just now made her understand.
He cares about her past.
After that, the two of them went to He Jianchen's house as promised. The He family's parents were very happy to hear about their engagement, but there was an unspeakable awkwardness between Gu Nianxi and He Jianchen.
On the way to send Gu Nianxi home, she didn't say a word.
He Jianchen apologized again, but Gu Nianxi was not as happy as before. Unexpectedly, the worries came so quickly, and his words ruined their relationship.
…………
The next day was Monday. Gu Nianxi took a taxi to the clinic early in the morning. She had an unpleasant quarrel with He Jianchen the day before. She spent the whole night thinking about what happened between them.
It seems that they get along too smoothly, and yesterday's conflict can be regarded as their first time.
Gu Nianxi drank a cup of coffee. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, she took out the materials and started working.
The patient Gu Nianxi received today was the big shot that Lin Wei referred to her.
After twelve o'clock last night, Lin Wei called her to inform her that a big shot would come to meet her at ten o'clock tomorrow.
This sudden call made Gu Nianxi nervous and stayed up all night.
The big shot voluntarily gave up treatment last month, and insisted on visiting the thatched cottage three times to persuade the female devil to come back.
When Lin Wei handed over the information, she carefully told her that if she could cure Mr. Su, her business ability would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Gu Nianxi was curious about how difficult this customer, who even the female devil could not deal with, was. When she opened the blank medical records in her hand, she was instantly curious about this man.
There are only a few words in his information: bipolar disorder.
Lin Wei friendly reminded her that Mr. Su was very aloof and cold, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to get along with him if they did not have a strong psychological quality. Moreover, he was a man with magical powers, and it was easy to pass on his melancholy to others.
"Remember to treat him rationally! Remember not to let him affect your emotions!"
This was the advice Lin Wei gave her. Gu Nianxi felt that she was making too much fuss. As a professional psychiatrist, it is a professional quality to remain objective and rational when facing patients.
Every patient who needs psychological counseling will have his or her own story. What she needs to do is to cure them, and the rest has nothing to do with her.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the door to the consultation room was pushed open, and Lin Wei walked in first, followed by a man whose height almost touched the door frame.
"Doctor Gu, this is Mr. Su, you can call him Gavin." Lin Wei elegantly introduced him to Gu Nianxi.
The man stood next to Lin Wei. He was wearing an exquisite dark-patterned suit and carried a black trench coat on his arm. His body was straight, with three-dimensional and profound outlines. He had a pair of black sunglasses on his tall nose, letting him see.
It seems a bit cold.
Gu Nianxi stared at him blankly, her heart stopped beating for a few seconds. She stood there stiffly, her body was as weak as if her soul had been taken away. She quickly put her hands on the table and barely stood still.
Did she get violent? Why is she feeling dizzy?
The slight smile at the corner of his mouth only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. Gu Nianxi even wondered if she had seen it wrong because his cold expression seemed to have never changed.
In fact, it was not the first time Gu Nianxi had seen him, but she had never really seen his appearance.
The first time she saw him was one night. Gu Nianxi and He Jianchen happened to be in front of the French window on the second floor of the clinic. She saw him walking out of the consultation room on the first floor.
What Gu Nianxi still remembers that day is his back.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, holding a long-handled black umbrella, and strode across the stone pavement in the backyard, his clothes flying in the wind, like an elegant British gentleman, charming and mysterious.
Gu Nianxi's mood at that time was the same as now, her rhythm was inexplicably out of whack.
The second time she met him was at his company. Gu Nianxi accidentally broke into his restricted office area. That day, she ran away in a panic. The moment the elevator door closed, his profile appeared outside the elevator door.
He saw her, but she didn't see his appearance clearly because he was also wearing sunglasses that day.
"Gavin is a very charming and gentlemanly man. He is also a man who can make women crazy and fascinated. You must stay sensible."
This was the first time that Lin Wei reminded her like this. When she said these words, Gu Nianxi even doubted whether she was attracted to Mr. Su and could not be his psychiatrist rationally.
When she met this man for the first time today, Gu Nianxi was even more certain that her guess was very likely. It was easy for such a charming man to capture the hearts of women. Lin Wei was also a woman, so it was normal for her to be tempted by him.
He walked up to her and stretched out his hand politely, "Hello, Dr. Gu, I'm Gavin."
"Hello, I'm Gu Nianxi." Gu Nianxi held his hand, only touched it once, and quickly withdrew her hand shyly, "Please sit down."
"You guys talk, I'm going to work first."
Lin Wei said hello to them, closed the door and left the consulting room. She habitually left a crack in the door for Su Yuheng. But just after taking a few steps, she heard the consulting room door slamming behind her, and she turned around in surprise.
It was strange that every time she treated him, he would ask to leave a crack in the door. Why did he take the initiative to close the door today? Lin Wei left with a question mark on her face and confusion.
Su Yuheng walked to Gu Nianxi's desk with long legs. He sat down opposite her, crossed his legs and looked at her silently. His cold temperament gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"Dr. Gu, do you have any better treatment plan than Dr. Lin?"
His voice was a bit surprising, hoarse and low, like the sound of an old radio, which was extremely inconsistent with his age and appearance.
Gu Nianxi was so nervous that she couldn't speak. The hand holding the pen trembled slightly. He saw her gaffe in his eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth, as if he was afraid of embarrassing her, and lowered his head to avoid looking away. Gu Nianxi quickly hid her hand on the table.
Down.
Gu Nianxi, aren't you? It's not like I've never seen a handsome man before, so why are you so rude when you see a domineering and bossy man?
No, she must have a guilty conscience, because when she gave a lecture in his company before, she deliberately helped the staff to deal with him.
Could it be that he came to settle a score with her?
Gu Nianxi pretended to be calm on her face, but she cursed herself in her heart, why did she have to offend others.
"Well... my experience may not be as strong as Dr. Lin's, but I hope you can trust me and I will help you step by step."
Gu Nianxi calmed down and put herself into work. She acted seriously and pretended to be very experienced.
Su Yuheng looked at her intently, holding his chin with his slender hand, looking lazy. After hearing Gu Nianxi's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"How can I help?"
"..." Gu Nianxi froze on the spot, unable to explain for a while. She couldn't tell him all the professional knowledge she had learned, "Uh, I can-"
Gu Nianxi was interrupted by him before she could finish her words. Maybe he didn't have the patience to listen to her too much. He sat up straight and stretched out his hand in front of her.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Gu Nianxi looked at his hand in a daze, and it took a long time before she raised her hand and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
