Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor Chapter 173 – Sulking  

Yan Xi was more sulky than before. She did not say a word to Gu Shen until night fell.

A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the Jingnan Villa. Even Gu Er sensed that something was wrong and found an excuse to run away early.

Yan Xi was sulking in her room, but Gu Shen did not come to look for her. She thought her phone was broken because she wasn't getting any messages.

“What an unromantic blockhead.” Yan Xi punched the pillow angrily and sent a message to Zhou Xu.

“We'll do the previous experiment when we meet tomorrow. I'll see what needs to be improved.”

“Understood, Senior.”

Yan Xi was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. She sat up and said coldly, “Who is it?”

“It's me, Xiaolan.” Xiaolan glanced at the servants gathered by the stairs and braced herself. “Madam, can I come in?”

Yan Xi was a little disappointed, but she still said, “Come in.”

“Madam, it's time to apply the ointment tonight. Our hands are clumsy. Please help President Gu apply it.” After saying that, she carefully raised her head and glanced at Yan Xi.

“Are you telling me none of you know how to apply ointment?” Yan Xi's expression softened as she asked awkwardly.

“We're clumsy. Madam, please go over and help.”

Without asking, Yan Xi knew it was Gu Shen's idea. She quickly got off the bed, took the ointment from Xiaolan's hand, and walked towards Gu Shen's room.

After Yan Xi was gone, Xiaolan quickly ran to the stairs and scolded the onlookers, “Don't push me to do this kind of thing next time.”

“We didn't force you. You were chosen by lot.”

Xiaolan sighed. “I was scared to death just now. I thought Madam was going to take it out on me.”

Xiaoyue retorted, “Madam is not that kind of person.”

“Then next time you go.”

Xiaoyue laughed awkwardly. “Next time, let's do it by lots again.”

When Yan Xi arrived at Gu Shen's room, she realized that he was already applying the ointment on himself. His pants were rolled up, and the needle marks were no longer as obvious.

She stopped in her tracks and touched her nose awkwardly. “You've already applied it on yourself. Why did you still ask me to come?”

“I'm not feeling well.” Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi. “It hurts where the needle marks are.”

“Why does it hurt?” Yan Xi immediately walked over and carefully checked Gu Shen's needle mark. “Where does it hurt? Is it continuous pain or periodic pain?”

Yan Xi waited for Gu Shen to answer, but he did not say anything. When she looked up, their eyes met.

“Now you want to talk to me?” He grabbed Yan Xi's waist and pulled her closer to him.

“I didn't ignore you.” Yan Xi avoided Gu Shen's gaze. “I just have something else to do. Even if we're husband and wife, we can't be together all the time.”

“But I want to be with you all the time.” Gu Shen chuckled. “So did you finish your stuff?”

Her conversation with Zhou Xu had just begun, and she had yet to read the literature and clinical review.

Yan Xi coughed and said slowly, “I finished it, so now I have time to be with you.”

“Okay.” After saying that, Gu Shen pinched Yan Xi's chin and kissed the corner of her lips.

Unlike before, Gu Shen was unusually gentle this time. He pecked her a few times before separating from her.

“Are you still angry?” His voice was soft, and he actually sounded aggrieved.

Yan Xi's heart immediately softened. She raised her head and kissed the corner of Gu Shen's mouth.

“No, I'm not too angry. It's just…” She didn't know how to bring herself to talk to Gu Shen.

“It's my fault this time.”

“Huh?” Yan Xi could not believe what she heard.

“I shouldn't have said that.” Gu Shen admitted it very frankly. He had also thought of telling her about the shares, but in the end, he decided to coax her in another way.

He took out a small box from behind him and handed it to Yan Xi.

“See if you like it.”

Yan Xi opened it and found a necklace inside. The chain was a little thick and there were diamonds on it. No matter which angle she looked at it from, it was sparkling like Yan Xi's eyes when she smiled.

In the middle was a dark blue gem. It was like a quiet sea, attracting Yan Xi's attention at a glance.
