Qin Se’s legs had turned into jelly, and she almost kneeled to the ground due to that. Gu Jingyuan picked her up with his arm, forcibly wrapping his arm around her waist.
The passersby couldn’t help but gaze at them in interest. Shen Zhiguo was still calling out to Shen Rui’s name in the front, and Qin Se felt kind of ashamed of herself. She said in a trembling voice, “You… you… why don’t you have some respect for yourself?”
This was probably the boldest thing she had ever said to Gu Jingyuan. He held the position as the head of the Gu family, armed with countless honor, and had always been someone people looked up to ever since his childhood. If they hadn’t gotten this close with each other, Qin Se would never have found out how shameless he could be!
Gu Jingyuan replied softly, “Nope! Qin Se… I…”
Shen Zhiguo, who was leading at the front, suddenly turned around and yelled, “Qin Se, what are you dilly-dallying around for?! Come over and take care of your husband!”
Qin Se shivered in fright and pushed Gu Jingyuan away. She trotted forward two steps, keeping a distance from Gu Jingyuan as far as she could. However, she completely underestimated how scheming Gu Jingyuan was. He gripped her arm tightly, and Qin Se was almost brought down by him.
Gu Jingyuan made use of this opportunity to hold on to Qin Se naturally. He said to Shen Zhiguo coldly, “Are you in your right mind? How could you make a pregnant woman run like this? Have you thought of the consequences of her falling?”
The corners of Qin Se’s mouth were twitching hard.
Motherf*cker! You were the one who brought me down!
Shen Zhiguo’s mind was in such a mess. He had completely missed out on the scene where the two in the back had been tugging and being lovey-dovey with each other, but he had noticed that Gu Jingyuan was holding onto Qin Se. He even thanked him for that. “Yes, yes… I totally forgot. It slipped my mind… thank you, Mr. Gu. If you hadn’t held on to her, it would have been such a disaster …”
Qin Se ground her teeth, not knowing if she should rejoice or be annoyed.
Gu Jingyuan, where the f*ck was your abstinence and aloofness?!
Moreover, Gu Jingyuan even asked her deliberately, “Can you stand?”
“Thank… thank you, Uncle…” Qin Se resisted the urge to pull out her small scissors and poke them into someone. She ground her teeth and thanked him against her will.
“You’re welcome.”
Gu Jingyuan slowly let go of Qin Se’s arm. As he left her side, he actually slightly hooked on to her finger.
Qin Se was startled. Instantly, she drew her hand back and took two brisk steps forward to distance herself from him.
She swore to herself that if she ever saw Gu Jingyuan again, she would avoid him at all costs. This man was the devil! Who knew what he would do next.
She rubbed her hand at the spot where Gu Jingyuan had touched, and she felt as if the sensation of his touch could still be felt on her arm.
This man wasn’t cold and aloof. Clearly, he was the incubus!

The doctor gave Shen Rui a check-up and took a CT scan to make sure he was doing alright. He then gave his diagnosis—Shen Rui was having some minor superficial injury and a slight concussion on his head. He would wake up soon.
When Shen Rui opened his eyes, Qin Se was smiling at him, but deep down in her heart, she was super nervous. She asked, “Honey, is everything alright?”
As soon as her husband laid his eyes on Qin Se, he became so angry that he opened his mouth to curse, “B*tch…”
As soon as the cursed word came out from his mouth, Qin Se raised her voice, “Yes?”
The rest of the words were stuck in Shen Rui’s throat because Qin Se was gently patting her bag as she smiled at him. The face of Shen Zhiguo, who was next to him, was hovering above Shen Rui’s head.
Shen Zhiguo checked on him worriedly, “Little Rui, how could you be so careless? Falling from the stairs isn’t a trivial matter! You must pay more attention from now on.”
Shen Rui looked confused. “I fell from the stairs? I… how come I can’t remember?”
Gu Jingyuan’s voice rang out coolly, “He just has a temporary memory loss. Not a big deal.”
Upon saying that, three more words came out from Gu Jingyuan’s mouth.
“What a pity…”
