Chapter 3: You Are My Wife
"…" Xu Zhiyin felt her forehead rising. "I'm a married woman!"
"Really? But I heard that you've just divorced today."
Xu Zhiyin looked at him in astonishment. "Who told you?"
Did he know too much of her personal matters?
She had just signed the divorce certificate and he knew?
Gu Nantian replied, "I saw your divorce certificate."
As the divorce certificate had been in her hand when she was kidnapped, the divorce certificate fell into Gu Nantian's hands. Xu Zhiyin anxiously demanded, "Give it back to me."
To her, it was like a wound and she didn't want this wound to appear in front of anyone.
Gu Nantian was surprised. "Why are you so anxious? It's just a divorce certificate."
"This is my privacy."
"You belong to me now. Your privacy is also mine." Gu Nantian looked at her with gentle eyes and he gently pinched her chin. Skimming through her face, he saw tears in her eyes. "I'm suddenly very curious. What does the man who divorced you look like?"
Xu Zhiyin was taken aback by this question. She didn't push away his hand rashly. "Why?" she asked.
Gu Nantian's face was very close to her face and his ambiguous breath was hovering around her. "I'd like to see how bad his taste is to abandon you."
"Don't make fun of me." Xu Zhiyin wanted to push Gu Nantian away. Even after her divorce, she still loved Ji Liunian. She hated this man for disrespecting her.
Gu Nantian refused to let go of her. He got closer to her and exclaimed, "I'm not joking. This man probably thinks he's not good enough for you and chose to divorce you. You can come to me. I'll definitely love you."
What he said seemed so real.
Xu Zhiyin thought it was funny. "Are we very close?"
"You're my wife. Tell me if we are not close?"
"I don't even know you." Their relationship was between a doctor and a patient. Xu Zhiyin thought this man was truly ill.
"I'm Gu Nantian, twenty-eight years old, the chairman of Gu Group." He mechanically introduced himself. Then, he said regretfully, "I was told all these by others. I actually don't know who I am but since you're here, I don't mind getting to know about my past self slowly with you."
"Gu Nantian?" Xu Zhiyin skimmed through his face in surprise, "You're Gu Nantian?"
"Why, do you know me?" Gu Nantian looked at her curiously. Now, he was extremely interested to know about his past.
No matter how his subordinates told him about his identity again and again, he couldn't put himself into that identity and felt they were talking about someone else.
Xu Zhiyin added, "Who doesn't know Gu Nantian?"
In Z City, Gu Nantian was a famous man. He was the authoritative person in Gu Consortium. When he was thirteen years old, he took over Gu Group because of the passing of his parents.
A thirteen-year-old child taking over such a huge consortium was a joke in the eyes of others.
However, fifteen years had passed and despite facing the doubts of people, he could still grasp Gu Group in his hands.
However…
This man did not have a good public reputation.
Everything he did was based on his whims. He was unreasonable and had no principle.
When everyone thought he was incapable, his results often leave you angry but convinced.
Because of his notorious records all these years, he had become Z City's most infamous person.
In the eyes of everyone, Gu Nantian had a ruffian type character but those who hated him dared not mess with him.
Xu Zhiyin didn't expect the person in front of her to be Gu Nantian. To be honest, she didn't want anything to do with people like him.
With Gu Nantian's identity, he could employ a better doctor than her. Why did he choose her?
She should probably decline now?
"Is it alright if I don't be your doctor?"
With the fear being too obvious, Xu Zhiyin probed.
Gu Nantian nodded. "Sure, you can be my wife!"
"…" This answer brought about dark creases on Xu Zhiyin's forehead. She demanded, "I wish to take my leave. I have work to do."
"Leave?" Gu Nantian's expression turned cold instantly. He raised his brows and asked, "You're declining?"
"You have lots of doctors and you don't need me."
"I said I need you." Gu Nantian said in an overbearing tone, "Before I regain my memory, I won't let you go."
"What did you say?" Xu Zhiyin was flurried, "I still have my work."
"Apply for leave!"
"How could I? Taking a sudden leave and not going to work is the most irresponsible behavior." Xu Zhiyin was a conformist. She would feel uneasy if she was late for work on any day.
Due to this character of hers, even if she loved Ji Liunian for many years, she dared not say because Ji Liunian loved Chu Xia and not her. She and Chu Xia were cousins. How could she fight with her over a man?
"All the more reason for you to help me find my lost memory. Only then, you may leave this place."
Did it mean she had been kidnapped?
Xu Zhiyin sighed. She was in the hands of Gu Nantian. What other choice did she have?
That moment, she didn't care who he was anymore. Gu Nantian was once her patient, so she had the responsibility to help him.
Xu Zhiyin agreed, "Alright! I promise to help you find your lost memory but you can't limit my freedom."
"What if you escape?" Gu Nantian looked at her doubtfully.
"Even if I escape, with your identity, isn't it easy to locate me, just like this time?"
She had been kidnapped without an explanation and hadn't been granted the right of making a choice.
Gu Nantian thought for a while and thought it was true.
These three months, he had thoroughly known the working ability of his subordinates. There was nothing they couldn't do except impossible tasks like bringing him the moon.
He looked at Xu Zhiyin. "If you listen to me obediently, I'll let you go."
Xu Zhiyin gave up the intention to escape. She got down from the bed and said, "Pass me your medical records."
Gu Nantian ordered his subordinate to bring his medical record for her very quickly.
Xu Zhiyin sat down on the couch and went through his medical record for this month. Gu Nantian had the best medical team and if they couldn't get his memories back, Xu Zhiyin doubted she would be of much help.
While she was going through his medical record, Gu Nantian sat beside her and his vision was fixed on her, just like looking at his lover whom he loved deeply.
Xu Zhiyin was not used to that gaze. Although she and Ji Liunian had been divorced, in her subconscious mind, she was still a married woman.
