Chapter 8: She Abused Me into the Hospital
```
Having said that, he grabbed Gu Nanyan's hands, which were trying to push him away, and pressed them against the headboard.
Gu Nanyan: "Fine, whoever doesn't do their job is a loser."
In the end, during their struggle, Gu Nanyan realized that Lu Beicheng was getting fierce with her, so she took advantage of a moment when he wasn't paying attention, grabbed a decorative item from the bedside table, and without any hesitation, smashed it on Lu Beicheng's head.
"Gu Nanyan." He bellowed her name in anger, Lu Beicheng raised a hand to his forehead, and it came away covered in blood.
At that moment, Gu Nanyan nonchalantly placed the decorative item back on the bedside table and dusted off her hands. "I warned you."
If you want to sleep, sleep; forget about trying any funny business with me.
…Lu Beicheng.
——
"Big bro, you've really made it! You've actually been domestic-violenced all the way to the hospital by Nanyan."
In the hospital.
Su Mubai had come with Lu Beicheng to get him bandaged up, and upon seeing his forehead wrapped in gauze, he couldn't help laughing until his stomach hurt.
It's always Nanyan who's badass, unlike them who've only ever been beaten up since they were little.
Lu Beicheng shot him a cold look, and Su Mubai immediately made a zipping-lips gesture, though his face still struggled to hide a smile.
During the drive to take Lu Beicheng back, every time Su Mubai looked at him, he laughed.
At this point, Lu Beicheng glanced sideways and asked, "Is Gu Nanyan jealous?"
Su Mubai said, "Isn't it obvious? Otherwise, why would she smash you all the way to the hospital? Big bro, Nanyan is really great, you should treasure her more."
Gu Nanyan was a year younger than Su Mubai, and because of her relationship with Lu Beicheng, coupled with her generous personality, Su Mubai would always call her Sister Nanyan when they met.
Behind her back, though, he still called her Nanyan.
Lu Beicheng straightened his cufflinks and brushed off the dried blood from his sleeve. Suddenly, his expression wasn't as gloomy as before, and he even had a hint of a smile on his lips.
Su Mubai said, "Big bro, did Nanyan hit you silly? You can still smile at a time like this. Think about how you'll face people with that injury tomorrow and what you'll tell them!"
Lu Beicheng didn't see it as a big deal.
What's there to explain? It was my wife who hit me!

In the bedroom of the villa.
After Lu Beicheng left with his injury, Gu Nanyan didn't wait for his return.
The next morning, after she got herself ready and left the house, she headed straight to Lu's Corporation to discuss legal representation matters.
In the reception room, the secretary politely said, "Lawyer Gu, President Lu is in a meeting, and we won't discuss legal representation matters today."
The secretary informed Lu Beicheng that Lawyer Gu from Chaoyang Law Firm had arrived, and Lu Beicheng's response was a firm no to seeing her.
How dare she come to discuss legal representation after giving him such a beating? Who gave her the audacity?
After a while, the head of the legal affairs department came and explained to Gu Nanyan, "Lawyer Gu, our corporation is not considering Chaoyang Law Firm."
This was not an explanation, it was an outright rejection.
Later on, Gu Nanyan visited Lu's Corporation a few more times, but Lu Beicheng still refused to see her, and the legal department wouldn't discuss anything with her either.
It wasn't until a week later, when Gu Nanyan was leaving work, that she saw a black Maybach parked not far from the law firm, and she slowed her steps.
Xia Cheng saw Gu Nanyan coming out and hurried to open the rear door of the car: "Young Madam."
Gu Nanyan stopped in her tracks as Xia Cheng said, "Young Master has come to take you back to the old house for dinner."
Gu Nanyan glanced at Lu Beicheng sitting in the back of the car and said indifferently, "I don't have the time."
She had gone to Lu's several times, and he hadn't even shown his face; now he was summoning her to go back and play house? She was definitely not going to cooperate!

In the back seat of the car, Lu Beicheng still sat there, looking indifferent.
He said, "It seems you really don't want to be a mom."
Gu Nanyan didn't like to hear that. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at him, "Did you ever give me a chance?"
Lu Beicheng brushed off the barely noticeable dust on his sleeve, "Not being able to sleep with me is a result of your lack of cultivation."
Then, he looked up, "Gu Nanyan, from now on, I'll come back once a month. Whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you."
Once a month?
What if the timing isn't right? Then his trip would be in vain, and Lu Beicheng wasn't the type to speak nicely and follow through with his word.
Considering this, Gu Nanyan said, "Once a week, non-negotiable."
Lu Beicheng looked at Gu Nanyan for a long time and then, with a slight curve of his thin, slightly reddened lips, said, "Get in the car."
Recently, Lu Tianyang had been keeping a close eye on him, and the old man and the old lady had also put quite some pressure on him. It wasn't important whether or not they had children, but his attitude had to be proper.
Lu Beicheng had agreed to her demands, and the next second, Gu Nanyan smiled seductively, bending over to sit next to him.
Xia Cheng closed the rear door of the car and got in, relieved.
Negotiating even for a night's sleep—this marriage was truly something else.
Not long after Lu Beicheng and Gu Nanyan had entered the old house, the old lady came out bustling, "Oh my! My little Nanyan is back. Come, let Grandma see, is little Nanyan carrying a baby?"
With that, the old lady leaned over Gu Nanyan's stomach to listen.
Gu Nanyan felt awkward, "Grandma, not yet."
The old lady couldn't get happy about this and stood up straight to say, "Nanyan, you and Beicheng have been married for two years already, why is there still no news? Have you gone to the hospital? Is the problem with you or Beicheng?"
Gu Nanyan: "My checks are all normal."
She would like to be pregnant, but unfortunately she can't reproduce asexually, otherwise she would have already had seven, eight, nine, or ten of his children by now.
After hearing this, the old lady turned to look at Lu Beicheng, "Beicheng, this means the problem is with you."
"You're such a big and sturdy man; how come you can't even have a child? All that nurturing for nothing."
Lu Beicheng: "Grandma, Nanyan and I are still young, and we don't plan on this recently."
Been married for two years and still no plans? This grandson was trying to fool whom?
Just as the old lady was about to retort at Lu Beicheng, Lu Tianyang came down from upstairs and said, "Mom, Nanyan and Beicheng have their own plans for their matters; don't meddle unnecessarily."
After speaking, he turned to Lu Beicheng, "Beicheng, come here, I need to talk to you about something."
After being called away by Lu Tianyang, Gu Nanyan stayed in the living room to chat and watch television with the old man and the old lady.
When they finished discussing their matters and were having dinner, Lu Tianyang cut straight to the point and asked, "Nanyan, I heard you were recently discussing the company's legal representation?"
Gu Nanyan raised her head, "Yes, Dad."
Lu Tianyang: "Go straight to the company and sign the contract tomorrow."
When Gu Nanyan graduated, Lu Tianyang had wanted her to join Lu's Corporation, to train her well, but Gu Nanyan was not willing.
Gu Nanyan became happy, "Thanks, Dad."
Over these years, Lu Tianyang had been faultless towards her, always considering her best interests and helping her.
If it weren't for Lu Tianyang being much older than her, and for Qin Haiyun being too good to her, she would have wanted to marry Lu Tianyang instead.
It would have certainly been better than marrying Lu Beicheng.
Meanwhile, the old lady kept piling food onto Lu Beicheng's plate, "Beicheng, eat more to nourish your body."
Gu Nanyan turned to look and noticed, wow, all the dishes the old lady was giving Lu Beicheng were to nourish the body.
