Seeing that Gu Yu Chen's expression had eased up, Gu Yan stopped his attempt to 'chase' Su Mo away. His gaze once again landed on Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a gaze coming from Gu Yan's body. She turned her head to the side and just happened to meet Gu Yan's gaze. In that instant, her heart thumped. He is … Are you hostile to her?

"Do I have to say it a second time? "Hrm?" Although Gu Yu Chen was overjoyed, he was unable to tolerate Su Mo staying by Mu Xiaoxiao's side. His tone of voice was still icy cold without a trace of warmth.

"Yes, it's young master." Gu Yan recovered his composure and retracted his gaze from Mu Xiaoxiao. The corners of his mouth curved up in a smile. It seemed that no one could change the Young Master's decision, not even that woman.

"Hmph, so what? What's the big deal?" Su Mo muttered to himself. He felt very unhappy in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. He turned his head to Mu Xiaoxiao and revealed a big smile. "Xiao'er, you take care of yourself. I'll come see you in a while." Su Mo made a face at Gu Yuchen and ran off in a huff.

When Mu Xiaoxiao looked back and saw Gu Yu Chen looking at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, she felt a little guilty. Only then did she realize what she had said earlier and cast a pleading gaze at Feng Ze.

Only Mu Xiaoxiao and Gu Yuchen were left in the ward. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was eerie. While Mu Xiaoxiao was still considering how to start, Gu Yuchen spoke first. "You're not going to act?" His devilishly charming smile caused Mu Xiaoxiao to swallow her saliva. After a pause, Gu Yuchen spoke again, "Pretending to lose memories, is that fun?"

"Hehe …" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to reply him, so she could only accompany him with a guilty smile.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's fawning expression, Gu Yu felt relieved for some reason. He reached out his hand to gently rub Mu Xiaoxiao's head and threatened, "Hmph. Let's see how I'll punish you when you're better."

"Can you bear it?" Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled weakly.

He was reluctant to part with it, but he wouldn't admit it either. Gu Yu Chen didn't reply to Mu Xiaoxiao. He just looked at her with an evil smile.

However, this smile made Mu Xiaoxiao even more uneasy. She suddenly thought of Su Mo's words and opened her mouth once more, "Yue ZhiNing is your girlfriend."

"No." Gu Yu Chen didn't give too much of an explanation, he only replied with two simple words.

Mu Xiaoxiao simply replied, "Oh." Mu Xiaoxiao had never asked about the things that Gu Yuchen had been unwilling to say ever since they were small children. This was also a tacit understanding that the two of them had formed over the years.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze away from Gu Yu Chen and looked outside the window. Was that Yue ZhiNing really not his girlfriend?

'Knock, knock, knock... ' The knock on the ward's door broke the silence.

Gu Yuchen was slightly displeased. Who was it this time? Was it over yet?

The ward door was slowly pushed open, and a beautiful figure stood outside, "Hello, may I ask if this is …" A sweet voice entered her ears and Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shift her gaze back to the empty space. A very good-looking woman entered her eyes, and that woman had a pair of bright and clear eyes that seemed to be filled with stars. She faintly smiled.

Who is she? Such a thought appeared in Mu Xiaoxiao's mind. She had never remembered knowing such an extraordinary woman.

The smile on her face deepened as she slowly walked into the ward and headed in Gu Shenwei's direction. Her every movement was like that of a girl from a noble family, and when she finally stopped in front of Gu Shenwei, she sweetly said, "It looks like I've found the right place."

The woman wore a long, pure white dress and a pair of bare crystal sandals. She gave off an extraordinary air of immortality, as if she were an angel. Her beautiful smile caused Mu Xiaoxiao to be stunned.

He continued to look at Mu Xiaoxiao with a gentle and loving gaze. Seeing her dazed look, he couldn't help but smile slightly, then slowly walked to the bar to pour her a cup of warm water. When he came back, he saw that she was still in a daze, and gently rubbed her head, "What are you thinking about? "He's so lost in thought?" Gu Yu Chen's gentle voice called back the dazed Mu Xiaoxiao as he placed the cup of water in her hand.

"Thank you." "Thank you," Mu Xiaoxiao gently thanked him. Gu Yu Chen didn't say anything and just gently caressed her black hair.

Watching the interaction between the two, Yue ZhiNing felt very uncomfortable. She tugged at the corner of her skirt. She had accompanied Gu Yuchen for five years, yet he had never talked to her like this, let alone do something so intimate.

In the eyes of others, everyone thought that she was his girlfriend and they were the most perfect couple. Since Gu Yuchen did not personally explain himself, she thought that he accepted it, so she had always considered herself his girlfriend.

However, when she saw the scene in front of her, she became even more jealous of Mu Xiaoxiao. No, she hated her even more.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the woman beside her and said indifferently, "This beauty must be looking for you."

"Little girl, are you jealous?" Gu Yu Chen laughed sinisterly, and a beautiful curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Where?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head away from him, her face slightly flushed red. She wouldn't admit that she was jealous.

The smile on Gu Yu Chen's face deepened as he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. Only by her side was he able to smile so warmly.

In these five years, he had never given her a single smile, causing Yue ZhiNing to feel extremely sad. Yue ZhiNing knew that the reason she had been trying to stop him from finding Mu Xiaoxiao was because she was afraid of seeing today's scene. Now that her plan had failed, she had no choice but to take action.

Actually, she had already started taking action when she first received the news that Gu Yu Chen had found Mu Xiaoxiao. First of all, she used a newly registered account to send out the news that 'The Mu family's daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao, has been successfully rescued and is now living in St. Dell's Hospital' online. This immediately caused everyone to pay attention to this matter, and thus, Mu Xiaoxiao, the number one beauty in A Country, was no longer worthy of the news of Gu Yu Chen's disfigurement.
