Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor-Chapter 181 - A Huge Mistake

After lunch, Zhou Xu went back to his room to rest. When he woke up again, it was already eight in the evening.

He adjusted himself and walked to the lab. The door was closed, but he could see faint light coming out of the room from the gap.

Yan Xi was still there. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Zhou Xu pushed the door open and asked bluntly, “Why are you still here?”

“I’ll leave immediately after I’m done with this data,” Yan Xi said without looking up.

“It’s already eight o’clock.”

“Really?” Yan Xi’s tone was casual. “No wonder I was so tired. Eight in the evening or eight in the morning.”

“Evening.”

“That’s fine then.” As long she didn’t stay up all night.

Zhou Xu was silent for a moment before reminding her, “Did you forget that you have a date tonight?”

Yan Xi froze and almost lost her grip on the test tube. She turned around and said in a trembling voice, “Were you lying to me just now? Tell me it’s only six o’clock.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

“It’s really eight o’clock now.”

“Stop! Stop talking!” Yan Xi quickly stuffed the test tube into Zhou Xu’s hands, took off her white coat, and took out her phone.

When she was doing experiments, she was afraid of being disturbed, so she switched her phone to flight mode. As soon as she turned it on, many messages popped up.

Most of them were from Gu Shen. There were also a few messages from Gu Er asking her why she wasn’t home yet and telling her Gu Shen looked livid.

Yan Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. She pursed her lips and sighed heavily. “I have to go home now. You record the data. Remember, don’t make any mistakes.”

Before she could finish, she ran out of the laboratory. Zhou Xu chased after her and shouted, “Are you coming back tomorrow?”

“I’ll see. If I’m not dead, I’ll come over.”

After walking out of the elevator, Yan Xi immediately called Gu Shen. Her voice was very anxious. “Gu Shen, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to forget. There’s a problem with the experiment here, and my phone is in flight mode. I didn’t see any messages from you. I’ll go home now.”

Gu Shen said calmly, “Got it. Be careful.”

The driver was already waiting outside the medical school. Yan Xi quickly got in.

She and Gu Shen did not hang up the phone, but they did not speak either. The long silence made the atmosphere in the car frightening. Yan Xi thought for a moment and could not help but ask, “Gu Shen, are you angry?”

“I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Yan Xi was so anxious that she was about to cry. “I promise you that this won’t happen again.”

“Okay.” With that, Gu Shen hung up.

This time, even a fool could tell Gu Shen was angry. Yan Xi sighed in frustration, but she also felt that this time, she had made a huge mistake. She hoped that Gu Shen wouldn’t get too disappointed in her.

The driver also sensed the anxiety in Yan Xi and drove to the Jingnan Villa as quickly as possible. However, the Medical University and the Jingnan Villa were too far away, so it was almost nine o’clock when Yan Xi arrived home.

After being late for more than two hours, Yan Xi felt that she might as well take the initiative to bury herself on the spot.

As soon as she stepped into the entrance, Xiaolan immediately came over. She took off Yan Xi’s coat and whispered, “Madam, President Gu is now in the home theater on the first floor.”

“I understand.” Yan Xi quickly ran upstairs and changed her clothes. However, she could still smell the potion on her body. In order not to be suspected by Gu Shen, she sprayed some perfume.

…

Yan Xi pushed open the door of the home theater. It was dark inside, and only the screen in the middle was emitting a faint blue light. She shifted her gaze and saw Gu Shen sitting on the sofa.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xi walked over. She bowed slightly and said sincerely, “I’m sorry, Gu Shen. I’m late this time.”

Gu Shen did not look up. He sat quietly on the sofa and played with his phone. Someone sent him a message, and the phone lit up and hit his face.

Yan Xi felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously wanted to run, but her legs wouldn’t move.

After a long time, he looked up and asked, “Reason?”

Yan Xi gave him the excuse that she had prepared long ago. “I wanted to go to the Medical University to get the analysis results of the sections today, but there was a small problem on their side, so I waited for a while. Later on, they needed someone to help them, so I went over to help them. I was afraid that the message would pop up and distract me, so I turned on the flight mode.”

She glanced at Gu Shen’s face and her voice became softer and softer. “Then I lost track of time.”

Gu Shen snorted, his eyes turning colder.

“How stupid. Is the excuse all you can come up with in an hour?”
