Chapter 16: Treating What? Kidney Deficiency

After dinner, Gu Yanzhi didn’t notice anything unusual about the meal. After dinner, he stayed in the living room with Ruan Yu and watched TV for an hour before going to his study to deal with work matters.

Ruan Yu watched Gu Yanzhi’s departing figure, a triumphant smile curled up at the corner of her lips.

Getting a marriage license with him was just around the corner.

Gu Yanzhi went into his study. Ruan Yu picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and went back to her room. She found a black lace V-neck spaghetti strap dress from her closet. The length of the dress just covered her thighs, revealing her long, white, and tender legs.

She went into the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into the lace spaghetti strap dress. Her figure was good, she was hot, her waist was slender, and her legs were long.

She looked at herself in the mirror and showed a confident smile.

She picked up a curling iron, curled her straight hair into big waves, and let it fall behind her, sexy and seductive.

Then Ruan Yu applied red lipstick, looking very alluring.

She recalled how she had ground the Shenbao tablets into powder and put them in Gu Yanzhi’s bowl. She secretly rejoiced in her heart, what a clever girl she was.

If she had directly given it to Gu Yanzhi to eat, he would definitely feel like she was humiliating him. In the end, she came up with this win-win solution. She asked Tang Ma to make the soup taste stronger, and then she put the ground powder in his bowl.

This way, she achieved her goal and also protected his self-esteem.

Gu Yanzhi was working in his study, but he always felt hot and couldn’t focus on his work. In the end, he closed his laptop and gave up.

Then, he went back to his room and took a cold shower. He felt very comfortable when he came out of the bathroom, but within ten minutes, Gu Yanzhi felt hot again.

He opened the door to his room, went downstairs, and was about to get some cold drinks from the refrigerator.

He saw Tang Ma pacing back and forth in the living room, her brows furrowed in hesitation, she looked very conflicted.

Tang Ma saw Gu Yanzhi, she paused for a moment and walked towards him.

She stopped in front of Gu Yanzhi, her heart was conflicted, she felt a little embarrassed, but in the end, she hesitated and said, “Sir… I have something I want to tell you. Tang Ma is doing this for your own good, don’t be angry.”

Gu Yanzhi had grown up under Tang Ma’s care. Tang Ma had taken care of Gu Yanzhi for half his life, and he also treated Tang Ma as an elder.

Gu Yanzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Tang Ma, if you’re going to talk to me about Ayu, then don’t say anything.”

He knew that Tang Ma had always been very dissatisfied with Ruan Yu. He respected Tang Ma, but he wouldn’t allow anyone to say anything bad about the little girl he loved deeply.

“No, Sir.” Tang Ma shook her head, she was a little embarrassed, “Sir, you grew up under Tang Ma’s care. I don’t want to see your future life and marriage unhappy. Sir, you’re still young, it’s not too late to get treatment. This kind of thing is not shameful.”

“Treating what?” Gu Yanzhi frowned, he didn’t understand what Tang Ma was talking about.

Tang Ma coughed uncomfortably, “Kidney deficiency.”

Gu Yanzhi: “…”

Kidney deficiency?

After hearing this sentence, Gu Yanzhi’s face turned a few shades darker. He didn’t know he had kidney deficiency?

“Sir, this kind of thing is not shameful. Did you like the soup tonight?”

Something was wrong with the soup…

Gu Yanzhi knew that the soups he had tonight were very nourishing for the body. He didn’t pay much attention to it. Could the reason why he was so hot be related to the soups he had at dinner?

But ordinary nourishing soups wouldn’t make him feel so hot. Perhaps there was something he didn’t know.

Seeing that Gu Yanzhi didn’t say anything, Tang Ma thought he had taken her words to heart, “Miss is very concerned about Sir’s health. She was afraid of hurting your self-esteem, so she specially ordered the soup tonight.”

Miss is trying hard, she doesn’t want to see Sir give up.

Gu Yanzhi: “…”

“Miss said I have kidney deficiency?” He gritted his teeth, he was certain it was that little girl. After all, she had said he was incapable just yesterday.

Tang Ma nodded, afraid that Gu Yanzhi would go and find trouble with Ruan Yu, she explained, “Sir, don’t blame Miss, she’s doing it for your own good.”

Gu Yanzhi: “…”

When did that little thing win over Tang Ma?

He hadn’t done anything yet, and Tang Ma was already worried about the little thing and speaking up for her.

Gu Yanzhi gritted his teeth, his eyes were gloomy. He took a bottle of cocktail from the refrigerator, opened it, and took a big gulp, suppressing the heat in his body, “So, there’s something else in the soup I drank tonight?”

Tang Ma’s eyes darted around, she didn’t dare to look at Gu Yanzhi’s deep eyes. She had seen with her own eyes Ruan Yu adding the powdered substance to Gu Yanzhi’s bowl, “Sir, you should ask Miss. I don’t know.”

Tang Ma couldn’t betray Ruan Yu and be a heartless person, but she had already betrayed her enough.

Seeing that Gu Yanzhi’s face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he was full of pressure, “Sir, you should rest early. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

She was afraid that if she continued to talk, she would lose her life here. She could only silently pray for Ruan Yu’s good luck.

Gu Yanzhi watched Tang Ma’s departing figure, picked up the cocktail in his hand and took a big gulp, he sneered, a sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Ruan—Yu

He gritted his teeth, finished the cocktail in his hand, threw the empty bottle in the trash can next to him, and turned to go upstairs.

He didn’t knock on the door, he went straight into Ruan Yu’s bedroom. He didn’t find the small figure. He closed the door and went back to his room. He saw the small figure in the nightgown, holding her phone, looking at something, she was giggling.

Hearing the sound, Ruan Yu looked at him with a smile on her lips, “Are you done?”

“Ruan—Yu.” He gritted his teeth, word by word, his face gloomy.

Ruan Yu had a bad feeling. He only called her full name when he was extremely angry. Her spine felt cold, she shrank into the blanket, “Brother Yanzhi, did Ayu do something wrong to make you unhappy?”

She blinked her innocent eyes, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked at Gu Yanzhi.

Gu Yanzhi looked at the figure shrinking in the blanket, he leaned forward, there was a blanket between them, but Ruan Yu still couldn’t control her heartbeat.

She looked at the exquisite face that was so close, her gaze swept over his thin lips, his sexy Adam’s apple, and a little further down, his prominent collarbone.

Ruan Yu couldn’t help but swallow, her hand that was clutching the corner of the blanket tightened.

Gu Yanzhi’s low and hoarse voice sounded, “What did you put in my soup tonight?”

Ruan Yu blinked twice. He knew, no wonder he was so angry. She shrank her neck, her voice weak, “Shenbao tablets.”

She observed Gu Yanzhi’s expression. She saw that his face was as black as coal.

“How many?”

Ruan Yu nervously stretched out her white finger and made a gesture of one.

Gu Yanzhi’s brows furrowed, “Tell the truth?”

He didn’t believe that one pill could have such a strong effect.

Faced with Gu Yanzhi’s questioning gaze, Ruan Yu bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out five fingers.

Five pills?

Did this little girl want him to die?
