Chapter 2259: Chapter 2261: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

Gu Linxi couldn’t help but despise herself; she didn’t even notice any surprise, nor did she react like she used to when someone touched her phone to express anger.

She silently picked up her phone, lowered her head, and changed the nickname “Sweetheart” to “Old Pig Head,” and she felt much better.

[Old Pig Head: Babe, look at our Little Bao, isn’t he cute?]

Just as Gu Linxi put the phone back, another message popped up unexpectedly.

She glanced at it but didn’t pick it up, took a deep breath, opened her laptop, just about to work, but before she could start, the phone beside her buzzed again.

So noisy~

Unable to ignore the ‘distractions’ right next to her, she reluctantly picked up the phone again and glanced down.

When she saw the photo he sent over—a picture of him and a Peppa Pig plush toy—her eyebrows twitched fiercely a few times.

[Haha~!]

She was wrong, she admitted she was stupid to have picked up the phone. Turning it off, wouldn’t it have been better?

Just as she was about to power off, Beethoven’s Sonata in G minor suddenly started playing, and as she looked, three black lines slid down her forehead.

She was wrong, he’s even more boring than she had imagined!

The phone rang and then hung up.

Just as she was about to toss the phone aside, a new message came through.

[Old Pig Head: Asleep?]

“…”

Beep beep.

Another message.

Gu Linxi was almost furious with his pestering and was already thinking about whether to put him on the blacklist.

Upon seeing the latest message, she suddenly fell silent, tightly pressed her lips, and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

[Old Pig Head: Babe, thank you for everything you did for me tonight, I’m very happy. Goodnight, sweet dreams~]

Gu Linxi stared at the phone for a full minute, recalling the dim, bitter look in his eyes when he came to see her tonight, and the careless smile he forced despite not being happy, her heart was pricked suddenly, a mix of sour and bitter.

…

In the Jinghui Garden Villa, Cui Jiangjing had just taken a shower and changed into a dark blue silk robe, using a towel to dry the droplets on top of his head.

He had tossed his phone onto the sofa.

With his hair down after the shower, he gave off a chic, lazy vibe, less of the usual routine, with a touch of authenticity.

Suddenly, the phone’s message alert chimed.

Surprised, the man quickly acted faster than he could think—without even minding his dripping hair—he hurriedly walked over and picked up the phone.

[Sweetheart Babe: Goodnight.]

Cui Jiangjing’s mood suddenly soared from the depths to the clouds, the unexpected surprise enough to make him smile uncontrollably.

He ran his thumb over those few words, and his eyes sparkled with bits of light.

The woman he loved was never cold like a stone; she’s so vibrant and kind. It’s just that the past hurt made her hide her true feelings, and it seems he’s getting closer to her heart.

Even if he hasn’t yet reached it, he has plenty of patience waiting for her to accept him.

…

The next day, Lin Ning called to talk about Huo Xiahe’s arrival, but he found an excuse to refuse.

Although as the deputy dean of Kangfei Hospital, he didn’t usually need to work on the front line, due to numerous people pulling strings for surgeries, he still carved out time for two to three surgeries each week.

Surgery often takes quite a long time; after four hours of intense craniotomy, he had just stepped out of the operating room.

“Dean Cui, my husband, he…”

“The surgery was very successful, he’ll be observed in the ICU for three days and can be transferred to a regular ward if no issues arise.”

“Thank you, Dean Cui, thank you.”

Cui Jiangjing sidestepped the patient’s family, tossing the cap and gloves he had on into the trash, and as he looked up, a flowery girl suddenly jumped in front of him, blocking his path.
