President, the deceased lady has three more children

Chapter 491 Isn't this what you call taking advantage of her?

Feng Jiejie took a deep breath and ate the fish without saying a word. She realized that she could only have a proper talk with Gu Yihe after finishing her meal.

Gu Yihe knew when to stop. After giving Feng Jiejie that piece of fish, he didn't give anyone else any more, and instead ate his meal quietly.

That bite of fish was a successful test for him; he could clearly sense that Feng Jiejie's attitude towards him was somewhat different today.

He knew it was because of last night, but if it made Feng Jiejie treat him differently, he would rather she remain as indifferent to him as before than let her experience such a disgusting thing.

The two ate lunch for about twenty minutes. Although the food was very light, it tasted really good. At least towards the end, Feng Jiejie's tense expression relaxed.

Feng Jiejie was about to clear the dishes after finishing her meal, but Gu Yihe was faster than her.

"You sit down and rest, I'll take care of the tidying up."

Feng Jiejie looked at Gu Yihe, who was getting up to clear away the dishes, and couldn't quite describe her feelings.

She knew all too well that Gu Yihe had never had to clean up his own dishes since he was a child, but now he had actually done this?

"No need, you brought these meals, so it's only natural for me to clean them up now."

Feng Jiejie also got up to tidy up. Gu Yihe glanced at her, smiled, and didn't stop her. Instead, he tidied up with Feng Jiejie.

After washing her hands and returning to the sofa, Feng Jiejie was quite calm. Even when she thought about what Gu Yihe had done to Nanxing, a hint of anger still lingered in her eyes.

Gu Yihe had just sat down when he sensed Feng Jiejie's anger and was somewhat puzzled. She was fine just now, so why was she so angry all of a sudden?

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me? What is it?"

Gu Yihe turned his head to look at him, his face always bearing a gentle smile.

Feng Jiejie was momentarily dazzled by his smile, and inwardly cursed him as a scoundrel.

Why are you laughing so strangely out of the blue?

"I'm asking you, why did you send Nanxing to treat those patients? Are you plotting something again?"

When the topic of Nanxing came up, she calmed down completely.

Gu Yihe raised an eyebrow, also surprised that Feng Jiejie wanted to tell him this.

"You two really don't hide anything from each other. Nanxing repeatedly told me not to let anyone else know about this, but I didn't expect her to tell you right away."

"None of your business. It's her business if she tells me, but you have to do as she says if she tells you not to tell anyone else!"

Gu Yihe chuckled, "Fine, whatever you say."

"Stop trying to confuse the issue, Gu Yihe. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you know that Master doesn't want Nanxing involved in your affairs at all? Are you trying to kill her?"

Feng Jiejie glared angrily at Gu Yihe, but the anger in her eyes didn't anger Gu Yihe; instead, it made him a little jealous.

He was jealous that Nanxing could be treated so differently by Feng Jiejie. He couldn't imagine how happy he would be if he could be treated like that by Feng Jiejie someday.

"Gu Yihe, are you even listening to me?" Feng Jiejie was even angrier when she saw that Gu Yihe was still distracted at this time.

Gu Yihe coughed lightly, surprised that he had been distracted.

"I wasn't daydreaming; I was just thinking about how to answer your question."

He would never admit to Feng Jiejie that he had been daydreaming.

Feng Jiejie sneered, "Thinking about how to answer? What's there to think about? I think you're just thinking about how to make excuses."

Gu Yihe looked helpless. "Is that how you see me? Maybe you could try to trust me a little more."

"Try to trust you a little more? What do you think I have to believe in? Don't change the subject, answer my question right now, what exactly are you trying to do by dragging Nanxing into this!"

"I really just want her to help me see if she can save those people. As for anything else, I just want to see if she can develop an antidote so that we won't be in such a passive position in this matter."

"That's all? You make it sound so easy. Every single thing you said just now was in your own interest. Doesn't that count as using her?"

Feng Jiejie felt a lump in her throat, a mixture of pain and frustration.

Gu Yihe looked at her silently for a few seconds before speaking.

"I'm sorry, this is indeed my personal choice, but I have no other choice. I promise you that I will make sure nothing happens to her. If anything happens to her, I will give my own life for her."

He repeated his promise to Fu Yunchuan to Feng Jiejie. He understood that both of them cherished Nanxing deeply, and without such a promise, he couldn't calm them down.

Of course, this was his honest opinion; he would feel guilty if something really happened to Nanxing.

Feng Jiejie was stunned by his words. The words she wanted to say to Gu Yihe stuck in her throat, neither able to come out nor not.

"Trust me, I won't let anything happen to Nanxing, but this is a last resort for me," Gu Yihe said, softening his voice as he assured him.

"Besides, the fact that she chose to tell you this proves that she is truly prepared. You know her better than I do. If she really doesn't want to agree to this, do you think I can force her?"

Feng Jiejie knew, of course, that no one could force Nanxing to agree to something she didn't want to, but knowing it was one thing, and worrying about it was another.

"If you hadn't gone to her, she wouldn't have gotten involved."

"I know, but it's already happened, and you won't believe me no matter what I say. I'll say it again: I will protect her and make sure nothing happens to her. If anything does happen, I'll give my life for her."

Gu Yihe looked serious, while Feng Jiejie had nowhere to vent her anger. Moreover, she knew that this conversation with Gu Yihe would not change Nanxing's decision. She just wanted to ensure Nanxing's safety.

"You better remember what you just said. If anything really happens to Nanxing, I will never let you off the hook. I dared to burn Fu Yunchuan with gasoline back then, and I dare to do the same now."

She didn't say who she dared to burn now, but Gu Yihe knew perfectly well that it would be not only Fu Yunchuan but also him.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you have that chance." A smile returned to his face.

Feng Jiejie ignored his smile.

"Was Fu Yunchuan involved in this? Did he send you to treat Nanxing like this?"

"No." Gu Yihe denied it directly. "I've been keeping it from him ever since I decided to talk to Nanxing, because he doesn't agree with me talking to Nanxing. He and you both can't bear to see Nanxing in danger."

"You talk a good game, but don't forget who caused Nanxing to become like this." Feng Jiejie didn't believe Gu Yihe's words at all.

Fu Yunchuan was reluctant to part with her? She thought Fu Yunchuan was reluctant to leave Lu Mingzhu without anyone to treat her illness.

"The damage done back then has been done, but that wasn't Fu Yunchuan's intention. He's also suffered a lot these past years, he..."

"Shut up!" Feng Jiejie interrupted him. "I don't want to hear any of your explanations for Fu Yunchuan, because it's ridiculous."

"He's been suffering a lot all these years? Has his suffering been more than Nanxing's? I think he's doing very well, with both his career and love life going smoothly. Don't give me this fake explanation; it makes me sick."

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Calm down and don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Gu Yihe dared not speak well of Fu Yunchuan anymore, lest Feng Jiejie dislike him even more.

Besides, Feng Jiejie is right; the damage has already been done, and any explanation now would be futile.

Feng Jiejie took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Stop talking nonsense. I came to you to talk about Nanxing. Don't bring up so many irrelevant people."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Gu Yihe looked like he was all ears.

Feng Jiejie felt helpless against Gu Yihe's behavior. If Gu Yihe had been more forceful, she wouldn't have felt so helpless. It has to be said that Gu Yihe's pretense was truly frustrating.

“Nanxing came over this morning and told me that she’s going to a place tomorrow to find some herbs, but we can’t go with her. When you’re looking for someone for her, make sure you find someone reliable.”

"Looking for medicine? What kind of herb is it? Does the pharmacy not have it? Or tell me the name of the herb, and I'll have someone look for it. She doesn't need to go herself."

Gu Yihe had not yet received a message from Nanxing, so he was unaware that Nanxing was going to personally go find the herbs.

"That herb isn't exactly a proper herb; it's hard to explain in a few words. She insisted on finding it herself, saying that waiting for your people to bring it back would be a waste of time."

Feng Jiejie was also helpless, but she understood Nanxing and knew that Nanxing didn't want those people to continue to suffer like this. Also, Nanxing was indeed a medical fanatic who liked to study difficult and complicated diseases.

Gu Yihe did not answer immediately, but thought for a few seconds before giving Feng Jiejie a positive answer.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go with her."

"Could we have two? I'm a little hesitant."

"Let's see how Nanxing is doing. She should have her own ideas, and two people would be fine too. But you can rest assured about the people I've arranged; there won't be any problems."

"Row."

Feng Jiejie's worries lessened a bit. Perhaps it was because Gu Yihe's eyes were so serious at that moment that she actually began to trust him a little.

She glanced at Gu Yihe and found that he was also gazing at her tenderly, this time with a very obvious look in his eyes.

She slightly curled her fingers, then stood up and calmly looked at Gu Yihe, saying...

"Alright, it's getting late, Mr. Gu, you should go back too, I have to get back to work."

Gu Yihe raised an eyebrow, then stood up and leaned slightly forward towards Feng Jiejie.

"What? You were calling me by my name just now, and now you're calling me President Gu? Is this a case of using me and then throwing me away?"

Feeling Gu Yihe's aura rushing towards her, Feng Jiejie leaned back and pushed him away with both hands.

"leave me alone!"

Gu Yihe was able to stand steadily even after being pushed away, but he felt somewhat helpless about Feng Jiejie's resistance. However, his mood improved when he noticed Feng Jiejie's somewhat evasive gaze.

"Okay, I'll go first. You can rest assured about Nanxing's matter; I'll take care of it. And don't worry about what happened last night; I've already dealt with it."

"But the Yun family is really capable; they actually dug up those photos and videos of those good-for-nothings who only think with their lower bodies faster than I did."

Feng Jiejie's face showed a hint of pride.

"Of course, they are definitely powerful."

She couldn't boast to Gu Yihe about how smart and capable her three children were, but that didn't stop her from being proud of them.

However, her proud expression made Gu Yihe think that Feng Jiejie was proud of Yun Yuan and the others.

The memory of Yun Shen telling him that he wanted Yun Yuan and Feng Jiejie to be together resurfaced in his mind, making Feng Jiejie's proud expression even more irritating.

Before this, he felt that Feng Jiejie was treating him somewhat differently, but now he was no longer sure.

Are you proud of them? Do you think they are amazing?

Gu Yihe's tone was tinged with a low pressure, but Feng Jiejie didn't notice, as she was completely absorbed in feeling proud of the children.

"Of course, they are definitely amazing."

Gu Yihe suddenly laughed, laughing at his own anger. A large part of the reason he said those things earlier was that he wanted to find out from Feng Jiejie who in the Yun family was so capable.

He knew that Fu Yunjia had been investigating the hacker's identity recently, and so far he only knew that he was in the Yun family but did not know who he was. He thought he might be able to find out from Feng Jiejie, but he did not expect that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

If he hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't be so angry now.

Why are you making that face? If you have nothing else to say, you should just leave.

Feng Jiejie rolled her eyes at him, then turned around and sat back down in her office chair.

Gu Yihe sighed helplessly.

"I'll be going now. Take care and get some rest. Don't work overtime tonight."

Feng Jiejie grunted without looking up, and her voice didn't sound again until Gu Yihe reached the door and was about to leave.

"Thank you for what happened last night."

His tone was more serious and sincere than ever before.

Gu Yihe turned around abruptly and found that Feng Jiejie was still looking down at the documents.

He didn't say much, just smiled slightly, said "I'm willing," and left the office.

The moment the office door closed, Gu Yihe's words, "I do," also struck Feng Jiejie's heart.

She looked up at the doorway, forced a smile, and didn't know how to react or how to describe her current feelings. In the end, she could only immerse herself in her work.

As Gu Yihe was about to take the elevator downstairs, the elevator doors opened and Xiao Wu, Feng Jiejie's newly hired assistant, came out of the elevator.

Upon seeing Gu Yihe, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. He walked out and respectfully greeted him as "President Gu."

Gu Yihe responded and gave him a look that only the two of them could understand before stepping into the elevator.

"Do your job well."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

As the elevator doors closed, Xiao Wu turned around and found Xiao Li standing behind him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
