222 Returning the Gold Card

Looking at Zhang Yue, who had returned, Gu Rou changed her usual enthusiasm and glanced at him lightly. She quickly retracted her gaze and helped Gu Yuan towards the examination room.

Zhang Yue was still thinking about what had just happened and did not notice Gu Rou’s schemes.

In the ward, Gu Man lay on the bed and looked at the dishes on the table. She swallowed her saliva. However, these things were too plain and there was no flavor.

“I want—”

“You don’t want.” Xiang Yin seemed to have expected what Gu Man wanted to say and immediately stopped her. “You’re still recuperating. You should mainly eat simple things. When you recover, I’ll bring you whatever you want to eat.”

Gu Man pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She stirred the porridge in front of her with a spoon. In the white steam, the fragrance of rice rushed into her nose.

It did not smell like it was difficult to swallow.

She took a bite and found the taste familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had eaten it before. However, although the dishes were light, the taste was not bad. This meal was also very satisfying.

It was during this period that Xiang Yin looked at her nervously. It was not until she praised it that he heaved a sigh of relief. The presence of his stare was no longer as strong.

“Didn’t you just leave? Now you’re back to bring me food?”

“I heard that people who are sick have a bigger appet.i.te. I was worried you would be hungry, so I brought some food. It’s fine to be prepared.”

Gu Man’s heart warmed, making her feel happy.

“Thank you. By the way, I haven’t had time to return the gold card from last time.”

The memories that had been sealed for a long time were finally opened. Gu Man carried this gold card with her, but she never found a chance to return it to Xiang Yin. Now, she finally had a chance.

The gold card lay quietly in Gu Man’s palm. The sunlight s.h.i.+ning through the window shone on the card, emitting a faint glow. The card was exquisitely made. It was obvious that it was not something ordinary families could have.

This card was very expensive. She had already owed Xiang Yin a lot, so how could she accept this gold card?

“Take it.”

Xiang Yin looked at the gold card calmly and retracted his gaze indifferently. Gu Man happened to notice this scene. It seemed like he did not care about this gold card.

This made her even more curious about Xiang Yin’s ident.i.ty. What kind of background did he have to give him such confidence?

However, friends had secrets. It was better to leave some s.p.a.ce and not know too much.

“This card is very expensive. I can’t accept it casually.”

Gu Man’s expression was serious. She stretched her hand forward, looking like she would continue to keep her hand raised if Xiang Yin did not accept it.

“If you don’t want it, throw it away. It’s useless for me to keep it.”

Xiang Yin’s light words stunned Gu Man.

The gold card of Restaurant Fragrance was something that many n.o.bles in Han City had racked their brains to obtain. This was not only a symbol of money, but also a symbol of status. But now, it was actually going to be thrown away.

Gu Rou laughed involuntarily and put away the gold card. The word “rich and inhumane” inexplicably appeared in her heart.

“Then I’ll keep it for the time being. If you want it back, you can have it anytime.”

“It’s just a gold card. It’s not anything expensive.”

It was unknown if it was Gu Man’s imagination, but she seemed to have heard Xiang Yin’s disdain. If the people from Restaurant Fragrance found out, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“If you have something urgent to do at your company, you can go back first. I’ll be fine after resting for an afternoon.”

Xiang Yin frowned slightly and glanced at her slightly pale face. She was much better after dinner.

“That medicinal pill is useless?”

Gu Man was stunned. She had already downloaded it and could not react. She searched her memory for a long time before she remembered that he was talking about the Miracle Rejuvenation Pill.

Of course, that medicinal pill was top-grade. Her many years of losses had almost been made up for, but her situation was special.

Before Gu Man could explain, the meaning of her expression changed in Xiang Yin’s eyes.

Xiang Yin frowned slightly. “Cui Lin praised it so much, but the pills are just so-so.”

Cui Lin: “I’m sitting at home but the blame flew from the sky.”

“No, this pill is very effective. It’s just that my situation is a little special.”

Gu Man really did not know how to explain and could only give an ambiguous reason. Fortunately, Xiang Yin had no intention of asking further. She heaved a sigh of relief.
