Chapter 54

he would go to the basketball court first, while she went to the convenience store to buy water and sports drinks. While other couples would go on dates at movie theaters, natural parks, fresh fores...Gu Zhi's hand holding the newspaper suddenly tightened.

Ke Xin

Well.

A very intimate term of endearment.

Also, why did Gu Yichen know that Su Ke Xin's mother needed medical expenses

Could it be that Su Kexin told him herself

This thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Chi only felt a nameless anger surge within his chest.

Su Keqin didn't tell herself about her mother's serious illness, but told Gu Yichan

On the other side, Su KeXin had just finished stir-frying the rice and was bringing it out of the kitchen when she casually said, "Dinner is ready."

Su Keixin didn't notice Gu Chi's displeasure on the other side of the living room. She just wanted to take off the apron she was wearing, but the apron's knot was tied too tightly and she couldn't untie it at this moment.

Gu Zhi raised his head, noticing that Su Keqin was a bit awkward. He slowly got up, walked behind her, and grabbed her hand as she was unknotting something, "Let me do it."

Feeling Gu Chi standing right behind her, his breath brushing against her neck as he spoke, Su Ke Xin's face flushed red. She withdrew her hand, "Thank you."

Gu Zhi remained silent, only helping Su Ke Xin untie her knot. However, Su Ke Xin had just been messing with it herself and had turned the loose knot into a tight one, making it rather difficult to undo.

"That..." Su Keixin could clearly feel the man's breath behind her, she was a little nervous, so she changed the subject, "Whose text message was that just now"

Gu Chijie's hand paused slightly, but he quickly replied, "Gu Yichan."

Su Keqin's body stiffened.

"Didn't you ask him what he sent you" Gu Yichen asked proactively since Su Kexin didn't speak.

Su Kexin swallowed nervously and chuckled wryly, "Another insult"

"No." Gu Chi finally loosened up at this moment, personally taking off the apron for Su Ke Xin, "He said he could lend you the money for your mother's medicine."

Su Ke Xin widened her eyes in surprise, turning her body around, "How did he know..."

She wanted to ask how Gu Yichen knew about her mother's need for medical expenses, but as she turned around, she met Gu Chi's icy gaze.

Su Keixin was taken aback.

"Gu Chi, you..." Seeing Gu Chi's reaction, Su Ke Xin also understood what was going on, her voice trembling, "You also know about my mother's illness"

Gu Chi lowered his head to look at Su Ke Xin.

The flurry of activity in the kitchen had left her forehead beaded with a fine layer of sweat, and some strands of her hair had fallen loose. Gu Chi couldn't help but reach out and tuck the stray hairs behind her ear, seeming to say casually, "Yes, I understand."

Su Kexin's eyelashes trembled.

In fact, she should have thought of this long ago: Gu Chi was the kind of person who knew everything about her, every action, every move.

Seeing Su Kexin remained silent, Gu Chi frowned, "Are you angry"

"No." Su Ke Xin shook her head wearily, "For large households like yours, it's also necessary to be cautious of those around you."

It's just like, back then Gu Yichan deliberately hid his identity. It's not strange for Gu Chi to investigate himself.

Su Kexin's tone was a bit hurtful to Gu Chi.

He had never thought about guarding against Su Keqin. Besides checking her background before the marriage, he hadn't intentionally investigated her again. This time, it was only because he needed to investigate what happened two years ago that he incidentally found out about her mother's situation.

"Su Ke Xin." Gu Chi felt inexplicably agitated. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, Su Ke Xin's phone on the side table rang.

"I'm getting a phone call." Su Ke Xin didn't want to continue facing Gu Chi at this moment, and this call was simply a lifesaver. She quickly broke free from Gu Chi and ran into the living room.

Seeing the incoming call on her phone, Su KeXin was startled and quickly answered, "Hello, Doctor Liu, that... about this medical bill, I've almost raised it, please—"

Before she could finish her sentence, a doctor's anxious voice came through the phone, "Ms. Su, your mother's condition has suddenly worsened and requires immediate surgery! Could you please come over now to sign the papers and pay the medical expenses That way we can operate as soon as possible!"

Su Ke Xin only felt like she had been struck by lightning, her face paling.

The next second, she frantically wanted to rush out of the villa.

"Su Kexin!" Ke Guzhi suddenly caught up to her, grabbing her wrist. "What happened"s arm hard and said."Don't, Zhou Yang, please don't cause me trouble, I can handle this myself." Gu Wang directly refused."Oh, you don't understand a woman's mind. As a woman myself, I know what she's...
