She was the one who pulled him back from the brink of hell and death.
She redeemed his entire life.
Her gentleness, intelligence, beauty, attentiveness… also made him fall for her.
Li Tingxuan knew that in his dreams, during treatment, Gu Jia Ning was a doctor; she always treated him with a doctor's mindset, never overstepping boundaries, nor giving him any ambiguous signals.
But he fell for her irrevocably.
And she, step by step, walked into his heart and took root.
Li Tingxuan gazed lovingly at Gu Jia Ning's back; he hadn't had the chance to investigate her identity.
He didn't know what her status was, whether she was married or not.
She probably wasn't, though.
She looked so young, only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Li Tingxuan selfishly hoped she wasn't married.
Then, he planned to propose marriage.
No matter what, even if his grandfather opposed it, he would propose.
Li Tingxuan's gaze gradually became firm.
Although she was sideways, partially facing away, so Li Tingxuan didn't notice anything else at that moment.
Time passed little by little, and finally, Gu Jia Ning finished treating Hua Zhenrong.
"Younger Sister-in-law, you've worked hard," Hua Zhenrong said.
Hua Zhenrong and Sheng Ze Xi were the same age, but Hua Zhenrong was born earlier in the year, so Hua Zhenrong calling Gu Jia Ning "Younger Sister-in-law" wasn't wrong.
"It's nothing, I'm fine," saying so, Gu Jia Ning stood up.
Gu Jia Ning had been treating Hua Zhenrong and hadn't paid attention to the movement at the door afterward.
Now, as she got up to leave and walked towards the door, she noticed that the young man was still there.
Did he have something to ask her?
Meanwhile, after hearing that Gu Jia Ning had finished treating Hua Zhenrong, Li Tingxuan was overjoyed.
Could he finally chat with Gu Jia Ning?
But, as Gu Jia Ning stood up, upon seeing her large belly, even if Li Tingxuan were slow-witted, he realized something.
Gu Jia Ning's large belly unmistakably told him that she was pregnant, about to become a mother.
Since she was pregnant, it meant she was married.
She was actually married, and had a child!
He was too late!
There was no longer any possibility between them.
Realizing his earlier wishful thinking was just empty joy.
Li Tingxuan instinctively covered his chest, his eyes filled with pain.
At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His mood fluctuating wildly, his face turned pale in an instant.
He even felt as if his body had instantly lost strength, no longer able to support itself.
"Comrade, what's wrong with you?" Gu Jia Ning walked over, frowning at his appearance.
Did he have a medical problem, a relapse?
Why was his face so pale, and full of pain?
Acting as a doctor, Gu Jia Ning asked and scanned his body with her eyes.
The scan showed that he had no physical problems, but had experienced sudden great joy and sorrow, unable to bear it at once.
Hmm? What was going on?
Wasn't he fine just now?
At this time, Li Tingxuan slowly raised his head. Gu Jia Ning looked at the handsome man before her, whose eyes held a fleeting sadness, his face pale; she couldn't bear to watch.
Gu Jia Ning: I absolutely did not fall for him, really. I'm just a bit of a face-chaser and can't bear to see a handsome man looking so hurt.
"Thank you, I'm fine," Li Tingxuan managed a weak smile.
Then, he slowly straightened himself up, temporarily suppressing his emotions.
"Oh, that's good." However, Gu Jia Ning still kindly reminded, "A person's emotions and body are closely related. If your emotions are good, your body will be good, so you should control your emotions well."
Li Tingxuan's pale face showed a slight smile. He heard the concern in Gu Jia Ning's words and said bitterly, "I know, thank you, Doctor Gu, for your concern."
Gu Jia Ning: Tsk tsk, this handsome man, not only does he look good, but his voice is nice too.
However, Gu Jia Ning only appreciated his appearance, without any other thoughts.
She walked downstairs.
As for Hua Zhenrong, his gaze fell on Li Tingxuan, full of scrutiny.
What was wrong with this youngster?
Why did he suddenly become like this?
Wasn't he fine just now? Why did he look like he was about to die.
Intuition told Hua Zhenrong that Li Tingxuan definitely had a secret.
After Gu Jia Ning went downstairs, the two of them also followed her downstairs.
After going downstairs, Gu Jia Ning also learned that the handsome man's name was Li Tingxuan, the young master of the Li family in the Compound.
He came to find her.
It's just…
"Is Li Shuyue your sister?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
"Yes," Li Tingxuan answered, although he didn't know why Gu Jia Ning asked, "Does Doctor Gu know my sister?"
"I know her, of course I do," Gu Jia Ning said with a forced smile.
This person was actually Li Shuyue's older brother.
Li Shuyue, the one who had killing intent towards her.
Gu Jia Ning thought that Li Shuyue would definitely attack her again.
Therefore, Li Shuyue's older brother…
Gu Jia Ning had no interest in having any interaction with him.
Her initial appreciation for the handsome man faded.
Li Tingxuan clearly felt that after Gu Jia Ning learned that Li Shuyue was his sister, although there was still a smile on her face, the smile had faded.
What was going on?
Did she have conflict with Li Shuyue in the past?
Did Shuyue know her?
Speaking of which, although Li Shuyue was his sister, his own sister, their relationship wasn't close.
It was even somewhat distant.
At first, Li Tingxuan thought it was because he had been raised by his grandfather since he was young and then joined the army, so he spent less time with his sister. But later, even when he went home and spent more time with Shuyue, the siblings still couldn't connect.
It always felt like there was a layer between them, making it difficult to get close.
Moreover, although Li Shuyue was his sister, Li Tingxuan didn't like her personality.
He always felt that she was too arrogant, even somewhat ruthless.
That was something Li Tingxuan discovered unintentionally, while Li Shuyue presented a good image on the surface.
Li Tingxuan felt that he should go back and ask Shuyue what exactly had happened between her and Doctor Gu.
Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning learned that this man named Li Tingxuan heard that she was treating Hua Zhenrong, and that one of his comrades had the same symptoms as Hua Zhenrong, so he came to ask Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning: It seems that this person values his comradeship, which is not bad.
After talking for a while, Gu Jia Ning confirmed that the person Li Tingxuan mentioned did indeed have PTSD.
Actually, Gu Jia Ning didn't know that this so-called comrade didn't exist.
What Li Tingxuan said were actually his own symptoms from his dreams.
"Where is your comrade now?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Since they both had PTSD, as long as conditions permitted, Gu Jia Ning could still treat him.
Li Tingxuan is not a psychopath; he will not destroy the relationship between the main characters, nor will he do bad things. I guarantee it. I absolutely will not write a bloody plot!
