"As long as you want to do it, it's possible." Gu Shen's eyes contained an indifferent sneer, but his tone was filled with interest: "Everyone says that as long as you put effort in, the iron rod will be grinded into a needle."

Ye Chaxu's thick eyelashes blinked slightly, and pouted her red lips in anger. "Gu Shen, can you not be so childish?"

"The childish one should be you." Gu Shen calmly replied, his eyes revealing a trace of craftiness: "Alright, I won't entangle myself with you on this matter, wait till you have fully recovered."

Ye Chaxu took a deep breath: "You don't want to say, but I want to say it clearly." It was even very serious, "Gu Shen, regardless of whether you have any illusions about me or not, please dispel them, because I have someone I like."

Gu Shen's eyes subconsciously flashed with a ray of light, and said to himself: "Are you talking about Ning An?" He had investigated Ye Chaxu's background and knew that there was a person named Ning An.

He learned that she was an orphan and had been adopted into the United States since she was a child. The details of her life in the United States were unclear because of her long time, but he knew that her life was difficult and her eyes were blind.

In order to survive, she danced for a living in the United States. Ning An was also fond of dancing, the two of them knew each other and fell in love. However, Ning An died in a car accident later on.

Ning An really loved her. Before she died, he had donated his cornea to her, and because of this, she had lived inside her tortoise shell until not long ago.

Although she didn't know why she came back, she still owed silence. She wanted to be by her side to show her filial piety, so she let it hurt her time and time again.

Recalling the first time they had met, she had said that she was drinking with the girl. She should have said that because she had something to do with it, so she had lied to him.

Hearing this, Ye Chaxu opened his eyes wide, shocked that Gu Shen knew about Ning An.

"Or was it the man who was anxious to stay by your side when something happened to you that day?" Gu Shen asked again, his eyes staring straight at Ye Chaxu, sizing him up.

When he carried her out of the elevator that day and saw her shirt, he felt angry, even more afraid that she would fall asleep with another man. After all, as a man, he didn't like his woman having anything to do with other men, and since he was a stingy man, he cared about these things, so when he sent her to the hospital, he had the doctor check her body.

When the doctor told her that she had not been violated, she was relieved and did not pursue the cause of the shirt.

"Don't speak nonsense, I don't even know that man. It's just that I was drunk that day and he kindly took me in for the night." Ye Chaxu blurted out her explanation, her face was red from anger, and she said nervously: "Also, do you know that Ning An has investigated me before?" Even though Ning An's matter had passed for so long, Gu Shen knew that something was off.

"That's right." Gu Shen nodded, and did not deny it at all.

"Do you know that this is a violation of my privacy?!" Ye Chaxu's tone was filled with anger, and the moment he thought about how his past was completely known by Gu Shen, he became flustered and exasperated.

Gu Shen narrowed his sharp eyes, and spoke in a rather roguish tone, "I've already checked, what can you do to me?" He didn't think it was wrong. Knowing her past was a good thing.

"You..." Ye Chaxu was at a loss for words. She indeed could not do anything to Gu Shen, so she lowered her voice and said, "Doing this would only make me hate you." She really didn't like him now, but she hated him instead.

Gu Shen's cold eyes swept across Ye Chaxu, he stood up and walked to the window, and replied her with his silent back.

Ye Chaxu's lips moved, he did not know what to say.

The air became quiet, and a strange atmosphere permeated between the two of them.

After a long while, Ye Chaxu remembered that he hadn't gone to work in the past two days. The dean was finally worried, so he quickly took out his phone and called the dean to request a leave of absence.

Considering that she had been taking leave from work, she couldn't help but apologise to the dean. When the dean heard that she was injured, he gave her a reasonable rest and told her not to feel pressured. The orphanage welcomed her back to work from time to time.

She was deeply moved in her heart. She decided that after she recovered, she couldn't act rashly outside. She had to work properly and use her actions to prove the trust the dean had in her.

"Do you have any future prospects for a job that is so important to you?" Gu Shen questioned, and looked at Ye Chaxu's suggestion through the reflection of the window: "Why not quit and become my company's assistant, this job will allow you to broaden your horizons and learn more, if you are capable, you will still have a chance to be promoted, your future prospects are good."

Ye Chaxu heard that Gu Shen was obviously mocking her for her work, and immediately ignored his good intentions, and said angrily: "I do not need your good intentions, I know that you look down upon my work, but my education is low, and I am only fit to be a cleaning assistant, and do not deserve to be your assistant, let alone go to your company to disgrace yourself."

After Gu Shen heard this, his handsome face became cold.

He was only thinking for Ye Chaxu, but hearing it from her mouth was different.

He turned, his stern face impassive, his sharp eyes fixed on her. "Your mouth is getting sharper and sharper." He paused before continuing, "However, I like it." He didn't mention his work anymore, and since she didn't want to work at his company, he didn't force her to do so. When they were together in the future, he would ask her to work at the company.

"I'm sleepy. Can I trouble you to get out?" Ye Chaxu immediately chased him out, and coldly curled his lips.

Gu Shen's thin lips curved up into a complex smile, as she unconcernedly shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, rest well, I'll come see you again tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he walked out.

Seeing Gu Shen leaving, Ye Chaxu thoughtfully stroked his thin chin.

She didn't know what he was thinking, but she was sure that he wouldn't give up so easily. Even if he hid it well, she could see the scheme in his eyes. Without a doubt, it was targeting her.

She had messed with an unpredictable man, so she was in a terrible situation. However, she wasn't his opponent, so she had to avoid as much as possible.

Gu Shen walked out of the hospital and was immediately surrounded by bodyguards. They were not allowed to easily come into contact with Ye Chaxu and they were also not allowed to take even a single step out of the ward to monitor her.

It didn't matter if Ye Chaxu hated him or hated him, she would still be his person.

No matter how many obstacles a man of the Gu Clan faced when identifying a woman, he would always break through the barriers to obtain her.

When Ye Chaxu found out that there were bodyguards at the door, all of them being sent by Gu Shen to monitor her, he was extremely furious.

She had asked Gu Shen to withdraw his bodyguards and not guard her like a thief, but he refused to listen and continued to do his own thing.

During her stay in the hospital, Gu Shen would visit her every day. Even if she treated him coldly, he did not care, and continued to maintain his style.

It was laughable to think about it. Previously, she was the one who had pestered him, but now, he was pestering her.
