Chapter 1290: Chapter 1294 Treating Illness

Then, the doctor prescribed Gu Junzhu the medicine he is taking now.

He said that the efficacy of this medicine was slightly inferior to the other one, but it was the best available alternative.

Ye Xingbei, caught between having children and seeking treatment, wanted to prioritize treating Gu Junzhu first.

Yet, without any hesitation, Gu Junzhu chose to have a child.

It wouldn’t have mattered had he not known before.

But now that he knew, nobody could force him to take that kind of medicine which might affect a man’s ability to father a child.

Not in a million years!

Ye Xingbei couldn’t win him over, so she had no choice but to comply with his wishes.

This time Gu Junzhu’s chronic injury flared up again, not even two months after the last incident in Feng City.

Thus, Ye Xingbei began to suspect that the replacement medicine was too ineffective.

However, Gu Junzhu said, “It’s not related to the medicine. I think it’s because of the poisoning incident this time. Although the poison wasn’t lethal, it did cause me pain several times. My body was weakened by the ordeal, and my old injury tends to flare up whenever I am physically weakened.”

Ye Xingbei doubted, “Is that really the case?”

“Really, it is!” Gu Junzhu lifted his hand to rub her head, “My dear, if you keep on nagging, you’ll turn into an old lady! Come, lie down and be quiet for a bit. I can’t stand the noise right now.”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

If it weren’t for the fact that he was the patient, she would have really liked to punch him!

Gu Junzhu tightened his arms around her, pulling her closer into his embrace, and sighed in comfort, “It doesn’t hurt anymore! This has been the shortest episode I’ve ever had since my old injuries started acting up… I’m so lucky!”

Ye Xingbei: “…This is the first time I realize you could be so easily satisfied.”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said, “You saw how it was when I had an attack, it was worse than death. It used to last at least two to three days and at its worst, ten days to half a month was common. This time it was only an hour or two. If I’m not satisfied now, God will strike me with lightning.”

“You have been in pain for one or two hours already?” Ye Xingbei was distressed as she pinched him, “Why didn’t you tell me? I was worried about you and haven’t been able to sleep at all!”

This guy can really endure; he had been in pain for so long, and she hadn’t noticed even though she was clearly awake.

“I thought it might just be a side effect of the poison and that it would pass if I just bore with it,” Gu Junzhu argued confidently.

Ye Xingbei nipped him, “I think you’re just too proud to admit your suffering!”

Gu Junzhu flipped over, grabbed her wrists, and kissed her forcefully, “My dear, can’t you be gentler with the sick? Pinching and twisting, you’ll make the patient feel so wronged.”

Ye Xingbei: “…If you’re feeling so wronged, can’t you stop smiling so radiantly? At least put on a bit of a wronged expression to match, right?”

Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, kissed her forehead, and gently brushed his fingertips over her brows and eyes, his gaze as lustrous as bright stars, “My dear…”

His gaze as gentle as water, his voice sweet enough to enchant her ears, Ye Xingbei felt her bones soften, “Wha… what?”

Gazing unblinkingly at her exquisite face, her snow-white and flawless skin, her clear and pure eyes, Gu Junzhu felt a warmth in his heart, “Ye Xiaobei… do you know? After I returned, I found that video in Yun Shengxun’s office. After watching it, I felt both hatred and rage, as if those emotions were about to burst my chest… I was in tremendous pain, it was a kind of pain that made me want to turn dark and become a devil… I really wanted to talk to somebody, to share… but I couldn’t tell anyone…”
