Chapter 16: The Unique Person
They were undoubtedly unfamiliar but he treated her like his wife…
"Gu Nantian, stay away please!" Xu Zhiyin pushed him away.
Gu Nantian remained unmoved. He leaned against Xu Zhiyin and looked at her, "I feel safer when you're in my embrace."
"I'm just the opposite. I don't have any sense of security when you do this." Xu Zhiyin added, "If you continue doing this, I won't work for you anymore! Don't think you can really use my work to threaten me!"
Although she didn't want to offend him and make the director unhappy, if he were to continue behaving in this manner, she had to leave.
Gu Nantian started to divert the topic, "Darling, you are so pretty."
"…" Xu Zhiyin glared at him, "Don't think that when you say something nice, I'll allow you to deceive me. Take your hands off me."
Gu Nantian didn't want to do it but Xu Zhiyin's look…
He had no choice but to let go of her. He didn't want to force her too much and scare her off.
When Gu Nantian moved backward to a safe position, Xu Zhiyin began to relax, "You can't just touch me like this in future."
"Oh?"
"This is my working principle. If you don't agree, then ask the director to fire me."
"I promise." Gu Nantian was extremely obedient while he added, "I'll follow whatever you say in future."
"…" Xu Zhiyin took a few more looks at him. He looked genuine and didn't look like he was lying.
He seemed easy to talk to!
Xu Zhiyin's mood became better. "It's good that you promise. As long as you do not offend me, I'll work seriously."
"I think you may stay in my house during this period of time!" Gu Nantian suggested.
Xu Zhiyin declined, "Why? I can go home."
"This is a job benefit." Gu Nantian said, "Who would decline job benefits?"
"You make me feel as if you have ulterior motives." Was staying in his house the equivalent of sending herself into the wolf's lair?
Gu Nantian laughed. "If I wanted to touch you, could you still be intact after last night?"
"…"
He looked at her in the eyes and on his face, was a cunning smile, "If I really want you, even if you're staying outside, you can't escape."
Xu Zhiyin looked at him and thought what he said was reasonable…
The key point was that she had divorced and currently didn't know which house to return to.
If she were to go home, her mother would nag her every day. Should she be staying in the hotel?
Gu Nantian's suggestion wasn't bad because she knew most of the doctors who worked for Gu Nantian stayed in Gu Mansion.
She had no choice. He was rich and self-willed…
Gu Nantian saw her irresolute look. "Well, that's settled then?"
Xu Zhiyin asked, "Do I even have a say in it?"
Gu Nantian showed a satisfied smile. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead, "You're the best, darling."
"…" Xu Zhiyin's heart resisted this and she wished to scold this man.
However, before she showed her temper, Gu Nantian apologized guiltily, "I'm sorry, I've forgotten and it's my habit to… I'm sorry."
"…" Gu Nantian was completely different from the legendary arrogant and self-centered spoiled child.
He looked gentle and when he smiled, he looked kind and honest and gave one the feel of a harmless youth…
As Xu Zhiyin had a good temper, she couldn't get angry with him.
After lunch, she followed Gu Nantian back to Gu Mansion. When both of them entered the living hall, they saw Gu Xinyi sitting on the couch.
When she heard that Gu Nantian was home, she quickly stood up and walked toward them, "Brother Nantian!"
From her hasty footsteps, one could see that she had waited long for Gu Nantian.
The only regret was that before she could get to two meters from Gu Nantian, she was blocked by Qiao, "Miss Gu, please stay where you are."
Gu Nantian had ordered not to let Gu Xinyi get within two meters of him.
Gu Xinyi stopped reluctantly but dared not get angry with Qiao. She knew very well what Qiao did represented Gu Nantian. She looked reluctantly toward Gu Nantian, "Brother Nantian, I've waited for you the whole morning. Where have you been? You're ill, how can you run about outside?"
"As long as you don't appear in front of me, I'll be fine." Although he had been resting these three months after the accident, his external injuries had healed and it did not affect his daily life.
The only thing he lacked was his memory.
Gu Xinyi's heart was attacked by a throbbing pain. How could her Brother Nantian treat her like this?
She asked in sorrow, "I'm only concern about you, can't you let me?"
"I said, I hate seeing you." Upon seeing Gu Xinyi, Gu Nantian's thorns came out of his body.
Xu Zhiyin stood by the side and observed Gu Nantian's gestures silently. She noticed that although Gu Nantian hated Gu Xinyi, that hate was unique.
At least, he did not hate others like he hated Gu Xinyi.
This proved that Gu Xinyi had a strong influence over him.
Gu Xinyi was chased out of the mansion and just like the previous times, she cried and left.
Gu Nantian's face was cold, as if someone owed him several million dollars.
Even Qiao who had followed him for many years, dared not speak when he saw his angry look. He merely looked carefully toward Xu Zhiyin, hoping she could dissolve the current tense atmosphere.
All of them knew that in Gu Nantian's heart, Xu Zhiyin was different.
Xu Zhiyin looked at Gu Nantian and braced herself to say, "She's gone. Don't be angry anymore. Let's sit over there?"
"Let's go to the backyard." Gu Nantian tugged Xu Zhiyin, preventing her from sitting on the couch.
Just as Xu Zhiyin was about to ask why, she heard Gu Nantian mutter coldly, "It feels disgusting to be at the place she has been."
There was a swimming pool and a set of white table and chairs at the backyard. Gu Nantian and Xu Zhiyin sat down and his servant immediately served them coffee.
Xu Zhiyin looked at Gu Nantian and asked, "After the accident, did Miss Gu do anything that made you unhappy?"
Gu Nantian darted Xu Zhiyin a cold look. Obviously, he didn't wish to be involved in any topic related to Gu Xinyi.
Xu Zhiyin explained, "I only wish to help you recover your memory. This is an important clue. You must answer me seriously."
If it were someone else pleading him, Gu Nantian would ignore but this time it was Xu Zhiyin.
He gave her face and answered, "No."
"Then, why…"
Before Xu Zhiyin could finish her sentence, Gu Nantian knew exactly what she wanted to ask, "I just hate her, I cannot explain why."
"Alright, I understand." Xu Zhiyin smiled.
"What did you understand?"
"Nothing." She stood up. "Wait for me here. I'll be back very soon."
