His woman
"Are you kidding me?! It's been four days and she's yet to wake up but you're saying there's nothing wrong with her" Gu Zichen growled at the elderly doctor who just reported him about Wu Jinyan's condition.
Four days. It had been four long days since he last listened to this silly woman's voice. Every time he looked at her connected with all kinds of life-supporting tubes and the bandages covering her body, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart. It was a kind of torment he never felt before.
"Big brother, calm down. She donated her blood to you and lost blood again. It's normal for her to be in shock for a few days. Don't worry, she'll wake up soon" Gu Zihao said pulling Gu Zichen away from the doctor but internally, he was unsure if he was consoling his brother or himself.
He knew that his brother was afraid of losing the woman he chose to be his play toy unlike him who was genuinely worried about her. Even if she wasn't his sister-in-law or an artist under his company, he would still worry about her as a fellow being.
"You want me to calm down. Will you stay calm on seeing your woman like that?" Gu Zichen grabbed Gu Zihao's collar and yelled venting his pent-up anger and frustration on his little brother. He didn't even take notice of the way how he addressed Wu Jinyan under the influence of his newly rousing emotions.
She was the woman who pulled him away from death but she had been lying here like a lifeless doll for four days continuously and he was so useless and helpless, he couldn't do anything to make her condition better and could only pray for her to wake up.
Gu Zihao nearly laughed in disbelief. His brother had no shame in claiming Wu Jinyan as his woman when he was just using her for selfish reasons.
In his opinion, Gu Zichen doesn't deserve a woman like Wu Jinyan. Ironically, she was already his wife.
Preferring not to speak further, he stood silently as Gu Zichen walked towards the petite woman lying on the bed.
Gu Zichen sat on the bedside chair like how he had done the past few days. He couldn't move her out of the hospital and take her to his place with her present condition which was full of risks.
Her room was upgraded to a VIP room. The room's security was arranged in such a way that even her manager Lin Ran was not permitted to visit Wu Jinyan. Only Gu Zichen and Gu Zihao were allowed into the room and nothing about her condition was exposed outside.
Gu Zihao gave strict orders to Lin Ran. She immediately took care of Wu Jinyan's withdrawal from the music video filming and cancelled the contract, even settling the cancellation fees. She made sure that everything was under control and no problem arose for the crew or Li Xiaoyi.
Gu Zichen took measures so that his parents would never learn about Wu Jinyan's condition, worried they would also fall sick after knowing about it.
Four days ago, with the haughty way how Wu Jinyan asked him to live with her, he immediately went back to his villa to pack his luggage. She was the first ever woman to ridicule him and yell at him but surprisingly, he was not offended. Furthermore, he realised she was just a simple-minded woman who acts like a cute bunny when delighted, behaves like a little lamb when shy and immediately turns into a fierce tigress when angered.
He took her as a fragile woman but the shades of her personality she had revealed within a few days of their marriage were enough for him to find her fascinating. The way how she behaved as her original self towards him without holding back her emotions already produced a huge ripple in his heart.
She was unlike other women who would suck up to him like a sneaky concubine trying to take advantage of his position, power and wealth.
He unknowingly started to look forward to how his journey with this woman would progress in the future. She was such an amusing woman he couldn't help but anticipate to witness all her sides and hidden faces.
He understood she suffered a lot of heartache in the past. Other women who encountered the same situations would have lost hope in living and ended their lives long ago but she was not a weakling but a tough woman with a strong heart.
He was still struggling to suppress his fury from killing the people who bullied her in the past when he got a phone call notifying him about her life-threatening condition.
Irrespective of his original reason to marry her, he truly wished to give her a good life as her husband.
He knew Gu Zihao would find out what caused Wu Jinyan to get injured to such an extent and deal with it accordingly but didn't bother to ask him about the details. All he wished was to see Wu Jinyan wake up.
...
Gu Zihao walked out of the hospital room and picked up the mobile that was vibrating in his pocket. He didn't know when exactly this annoying caller returned to the country and why he was so persistent on seeing Wu Jinyan. He was sure that Mu Feng seemed to have an interest in her.
Gu Zihao was competent his men whom he appointed to investigate the matter already informed him where and how Wu Jinyan was injured despite Lin Ran hiding some details.
"How is she?" the person on the other side asked.
"Still the same" Gu Zihao sighed.
"Shit...I told you, I know how to make that little beauty wake up in minutes. Why don't you listen to me? Trust me and let me see her once" Mu Feng said in a dejected tone.
If only he was allowed to see her, he could easily make her wake up.
"She's my company's artist. Don't even think of touching her.." Gu Zihao warned and thought if he should tell this playboy Mu Feng the truth that Wu Jinyan was already married.
