Gu Xi Jue frowned in dissatisfaction, and spoke to them in displeasure: "What are you still doing here?"

"Oh, right, right, Xia Secretary needs to rest, then we won't disturb you, give this fruit to Xia Secretary to eat." As she spoke, she put down the fruit in her hand and left the restaurant immediately.

The others had already left, but the Village Chief did not leave. He stayed behind and said to Gu Xi Jue, "Gourmet, don't worry, this will never happen again. Right now, the entire village does not have any proposals for the construction of a holiday village.

Gu Xi Jue nodded his head: "I will get my assistant to follow up on the matter of signing the contract."

"Alright, we'll be waiting." The village chief nodded and expressed his full cooperation.

"Then it's fine, I won't disturb you." After the village chief finished his business, he also left.

The only ones left in the room were Gu Xi Jue and Xia Lan.

Xia Lan looked at him and asked softly: "Are you angry?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Xi Jue glanced at her.

"…" Was there something else she didn't like?

"I forgive them, but I don't want to make things so troublesome. They're actually quite simple, aren't they?" Xia Lan tilted her head and asked.

Gu Xi Jue did not say anything, he also admitted that the people here were simple and honest, but he never expected them to be so stupid, capable of kidnapping, and at such a low level.

Moreover, even if they didn't call the police, he had no intention of forgiving them. Those who did wrong were easily forgiven, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't do wrong again in the future.

In this society, there are social rules. If you do something wrong, you should be punished.

"Thank you." Xia Lan suddenly expressed her thanks.

Gu Xi Jue frowned and asked: "What thing?"

"Everything." Xia Lan answered very sincerely. She was very grateful to him for everything he had done for her.

In order to save her, he kowtowed to the villagers, and in order to take care of her, he did not sleep the entire night.

"You have no sincerity." Gu Xi Jue sat at the side, fiddling with his mobile, seemingly very nonchalant but actually extremely happy in his heart.

It seemed like this woman still had some snacks to eat. At the very least, he had made some for her, so she didn't take notice of it at all.

And besides gratitude, Xia Lan also didn't know how to repay him.

Being looked down upon by him in such a way, Xia Lan also felt that she did not have much sincerity.

Thus, she thought for a moment and said, "How about, when we get home, I treat you to a meal?"

"You did it?" Gu Xi Jue asked.

"Can't I hire you in the restaurant?" Xia Lan asked.

"Can't I afford it?" Gu Xi Jue said arrogantly.

"Alright then, I'll do it."

"Don't force yourself." Gu Xi Jue looked at her and gave her a knowing smile.

"I won't force you, I won't force you at all. Being able to cook for Gourmet is my honor." Xia Lan's doggy legs were trying to curry favor, and his face was full of smiles.

As they spoke, the doctor arrived. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Xi Jue and asked, "Is Xia Secretary still awake?"

"He woke up." Gu Xi Jue let the doctor in and explained his wound.

The doctor looked at Gu Xi Jue's wound in shock and asked, "When I was giving the Xia Secretary an IV drip yesterday, did you not feel any of the wounds on your body at all?"

Gu Xi Jue shook his head.

The doctor was still in shock. "No wonder I saw your lips go white yesterday, I saw you being so nervous at Xia Secretary, and thought that you were worried about your lips turn white."

Hearing this, Gu Xi Jue subconsciously looked at Xia Lan, and discovered that Xia Lan was looking at him as well.

But instead of dodging, Gu Xi Jue was staring straight at her.

"Doctor, is his injury serious?" Xia Lan asked.

"Gourmet, can I trouble you to take off your shirt? Let me see the wound on your back." the doctor demanded.

The doctor was a man, so Gu Xi Jue did not hesitate to take off the shirt on his body, revealing the upper part of his body that he was familiar with. It was unknown if it was done on purpose, but he still looked at Xia Lan after taking off his shirt, as if showing her his good figure.

Xia Lan stared at it until her eyes grew red, and her face was even redder than before.

When the doctor saw this, he did not understand and asked, "Xia Secretary, you still have a fever?"

"Huh?" Xia Lan was so confused that she didn't know what the doctor meant by asking.

"Your face is so red. Have you not lost your fever yet?" the doctor asked again.

"Yes, yes. The fever has not subsided yet. It's a bit hot." With that, Xia Lan deliberately waved her hands to show that it was really hot.

Even though she said that, the corner of Gu Xi Jue's mouth still curled up into a proud expression.

The doctor examined the wound on his back and frowned.

"Doctor, is it serious?" Xia Lan asked.

"The wound on my arm is fine, but the wound on my back is quite severe." If the inflammation had subsided immediately yesterday, there would have been no problem. "Now, although the wound is not festering, it has already become pus." the doctor said.

Xia Lan asked anxiously, "Give him an injection of the tetanus antitoxin."

The doctor shook his head helplessly. "The medical facilities on our island are not that good. There are no tetanus antitoxin needles here."

"Can you deal with the wound?" Xia Lan asked again.

"Yes, I can cure the inflammation first and then bandage it up." I'll give you a tetanus shot when you get back. " the doctor suggested.

"Go back and make up for it. Is there still time?" Xia Lan asked very carefully, and the look of worry was all on her face.

"It's better than not fighting at all." "No," the doctor said, taking out the disinfectant and gauze.

Xia Lan nodded her head, thinking that she should return to City A as soon as possible, or go to the hospital in the city center of Sea Blue City to get an antitoxin tetanus needle.

The wound has already been infected, doesn't Gourmet feel it?

Throughout the entire process, Gu Xi Jue did not speak a single word, as he was the only one asking the doctor about various situations. He did not pay any attention to his injuries at all. He only had a few cuts on his body, but was it really that serious?

Tetanus, he thought, was even less likely.

At most, he just didn't have to deal with it. The wound wouldn't be able to stop the inflammation.

However, Xia Lan's nervousness was all in his eyes.

This woman was too stubborn. She was so worried about him, how could she not have him in her heart?

However, she refused to admit it. She kept on saying there was a difference in rank.

What the hell? There was no such thing as an office romance in the company system.

After the doctor treated the injuries on Gu Xi Jue's arm and back, they were wrapped with a medicinal bandage and given him an anti-inflammatory medicine that lasted for three days.

After taking care of Gu Xi Jue, the doctor took his temperature.

"It's true that the fever has yet to fully subside, but there's no need for any more drops. Eat some medicine, drink some more hot water, and just don't catch a cold." The doctor explained in detail.

"Thank you." Xia Lan thanked him.

After the doctor left, Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue and asked: "When are we going back?"

"What is it? "Are you worried about me?" Gu Xi Jue raised his eyebrows and asked.
