Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor-Chapter 176 - She Doesn’t Eat Chestnuts

Seeing Gu Shen’s cold gaze, Yan Dong’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly put on a fake smile.

What Song Li said a few days ago that he would rather be a dog beside Gu Shen was already wide-sreapd in the circle.

Yan Dong began to learn from Song Li.

“It’s not about that piece of land in the city center. I heard that you’ve been receiving treatment at the Rehabilitation Center recently, so I wanted to send you some medicine. I bought them at a high price and got a professor from the Medical University to appraise them. They can be very helpful.”

Gu Shen smirked, his eyes filled with mockery.

“I didn’t expect President Yan to be so concerned about me.”

Yan Dong chuckled. “Your health is more important than anything else.”

“There’s no need. You can keep these medicines for yourself.”

“I bought them for…”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and interrupted unhappily, “Since when did President Yan think that you can change my mind?”

Yan Dong quickly shook his head and looked at Gu Shen carefully. After a while, he asked tentatively, “Can I see Yan Xi? Her grandmother misses her and asked me to give some dumplings to her.”

Since they had already cut ties, there was no need for them to interact.

Gu Shen said impatiently, “Yan Xi is not available at this moment.”

Yan Dong misunderstood. “President Gu, I understand. It’s normal for men to find a few lovers. I can also help you persuade Yan Xi to behave herself and not interfere with your business.”

“Lover?” Gu Shen’s face darkened. “I wonder where President Yan heard that I have a lover.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Yan Dong did not realize that something was wrong. “You don’t want Yan Xi to know? Don’t worry, I won’t say a word to her.”

“Where did you hear that?”

Gu Shen repeated himself. His tone was even worse than before.

“This is what people in the industry said. They said that a few days ago, you had a cup of milk tea with someone outside and even ate chestnuts together. Yan Xi never ate chestnuts. When she was young, she was choked by chestnuts and never ate them again.”

Gu Shen did not speak again. He just looked at Yan Dong. His indifferent expression made Yan Dong feel uneasy.

“President Yan, my company is too small to accommodate someone like you. Gu Er, send the guest out.”

…

At seven in the evening, Yan Xi arrived home on time.

Today’s experiment went smoothly, so Zhou Xu was excited.

He just needed to observe for another day tomorrow and record the experimental data.

After returning home, Yan Xi took off her high heels. Xiaolan immediately came over to take them and handed her a pair of slippers.

“Is Gu Shen back?”

Xiaolan nodded. “President Gu got home around five. He’s in the study now.”

“I’ll go up and take a look.” Yan Xi passed by the living room and found a plate of stir-fried chestnuts on the table. They were fragrant and hot.

She picked up a few and jogged to the study.

“I’m back. Let’s go down for dinner.” Yan Xi jumped to his side. “Where did you buy this stir-fried chestnut? It tastes better than what I ate that day.”

Gu Shen moved his gaze away from the file and watched Yan Xi throw the chestnut into her mouth. Then, she peeled one nimbly, as if she could not get tired of it.

“Yan Dong came to look for me today.”

“Why is he here again?” Yan Xi muttered. “He’s really persistent. Why is he looking for you?”

“It’s not a big deal, but it sounds strange.”

“What is it?” Yan Xi brought the peeled chestnut to Gu Shen’s mouth.

“Yan Dong said that you got choked while eating chestnuts when you were young. After that, you never ate them again.”

Yan Xi was stunned and did not know if she should eat the chestnuts in her mouth.

She quickly searched the Host’s memories, but she did not find this at all.

“Is that so?” She said calmly, “Why don’t I remember this? Did Yan Dong mix me up with his other daughters?”

“No.” Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi quietly.

“Maybe I was too young and forgot about it. Besides, a moment of fear is nothing. A person can’t give up on eating because of choking.”

Looking back at his file, Gu Shen was silent again.

The file was sent to him by the Yan family when they got married. He had never read it before, but now he was interested in it. Then, he realized that there were a lot of things Yan Xi did not eat.

Chestnut was among them, but coriander wasn’t.

A person’s personality might change, but the food they liked would probably not.
