Sitting in the car, Gu Nianbin pinched the area between his eyebrows and then said to the driver, "To Huafu Hospital."It was a private hospital owned by his family and located not far from their house. They soon arrived. Gu Nianbin went to the nurse station and inquired about Du Xiaoxian. He was told that she had been examined and was in the observation ward. He walked down the corridor to the ward and found that the door was slightly open. When he reached out to open it, he heard Ling scolding Du Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, you had crossed the line. So many people were there today and it was not your turn to stand out. You overestimated yourself. The young master's cousin is tall and strong. He could hit you down with one single punch. Weren't you afraid of being hurt?""Sister Ling, I... I didn't think too much. The only thing I knew was that I couldn't let him go upstairs. He would make the master angry, which was bad for his health." Her voice was light and s

Du Xiaoxian got back to the Gu’s mansion at about six o'clock in the afternoon. Although Gu Nianbin wanted her to stay in the hospital one more night for further observation, Du Xiaoxian refused. Now that doctor said she was okay, then what was the use of staying in the hospital? Besides, she was afraid that the medical expense would be extremely high if she stayed overnight. It was unnecessary to spend money like this.After she was back to the Gu's mansion, Du Xiaoxian received special care, which made her increasingly uneasy. With only minor wounds on the head, she was able to work as usual. But her ladyship insisted that she should rest and asked others to prepare some nutritious food for her. She recognized that it was bird's nest and knew it was too precious for her to eat. How could she eat it? This was not something for a maid.She blushed and tried to refuse. Her ladyship was more determined, however, sitting by the bed to urge her to eat it up. At

Several days later, the bandage on Du Xiaoxian's head was replaced by a small band-aid. In the end, only a shallow crescent-shaped scar was left on her forehead, which could not be found out when covered by hair.One night, Gu Nianbin called Du Xiaoxian to his room and told her that she would go to school tomorrow.Having forgotten this matter, she was shocked by this sudden news, "Young Master, are you really sending me to school?""Yes." Noticing her trembling thin body, Gu Nianbin waved at her and said, "Come and sit."Du Xiaoxian slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the sofa. Light from a lamp cast right on her, making the shadow of her small body looked just like a child."You're still young. Learning more is good for your future," He asked, "Are you willing to go to school?""I..." This was a big deal for her. Should she agree? Her mother hoped she could learn more and she would be happy in heav

Drinking tea and reading newspapers nearby, Gu Nianbin looked distracted but actually never took his eyes off Du Xiaoxian. Noticing her uneasiness, he went up to her and asked gently, "What's wrong?"At sight of him, Du Xiaoxian rushed over and grabbed his arm tightly. Although she still revered him, he was the only acquaintance she could find here. She got relieved when seeing him.Gu Nianbin was amused by her reaction. He bent down and asked softly, "None of your taste? Then let's go somewhere else."Du Xiaoxian shook her head like a frightened fawn, mumbling, "All of them are surrounding me, I..." She was too timid to speak out her nervousness in such occasions.Gu Nianbin got her at once and dismissed the sales by a gesture. He found a seat for her and said, "Now they are all gone. You can choose freely. Show me what you like."Du Xiaoxian looked at the clothes and the fancy shop, "Sir, the clothes here must be ver

Gu Nianbin wanted to take Du Xiaoxian to eat western food, but he changed his mind on second thought. She would resist unfamiliar things out of instinct. He took her to a Chinese restaurant and asked for a quiet private room. He gave her the menu to order. Du Xiaoxian held the exquisite menu in her hand and flipped it over lightly. Then she returned it to him and shook her head shyly. She had never eaten any dish on it before. What if she ordered something that the young master didn't like to eat?Gu Nianbin didn't force her and took the order. While waiting for the dishes, he slowly told Du Xiaoxian what he had being thinking along the way. There were so many things he wanted her to know. She just listened quietly and occasionally nodded with a blink of her big eyes. Gu Nianbin was rarely so talktive, even himself found it hard to believe. Finally, he stopped and asked, "Xiaoxian, do you understand what I said?"Du Xiaoxian pursed her lips and said softly,
