Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



Gu Zheng's entire body trembled. The person in the photo was indeed Qiao Xi. She was sitting by the bed and reading. Her hair covered her forehead, and she looked like she had been living a peaceful life.

He knew that this was an email from Huo Yuzhou. Huo Yuzhou was baiting him and forcing him to make a choice. Did he want Qiao Xi or the Brook family's power?

"Immediately send someone to confirm the location," Gu Zheng ordered with his eyes closed. At this moment, the poison in his body had already begun to spread. Coupled with the fact that he had not been sleeping well for the past few days, he was in unbearable pain.

However, he could not fall. He had not found Qiao Xi yet!

The next day.

Song Shijing had exciting news. They had found Huo Yuzhou.

Gu Zheng immediately ordered, "Let's go!"

On the other hand, Huo Yuzhou learned that Gu Zheng had gone out to sea and raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect him to discover us so quickly."

"I find it a little strange too. How did Mr. Gu find us so quickly and confirm that we're on this cruise ship?"

Huo Yuzhou's eyebrows suddenly twitched. "How has Xi Xi been recently?"

"Miss Qiao is in a good state. Other than eating and sleeping, she reads books to pass the time."

It could not be Qiao Xi. She could not send any news at sea. Moreover, she had not even left her room recently.

Originally, Huo Yuzhou thought that Gu Zheng would only be able to find him half a month later. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng had only returned to Li City for three days and was already rushing toward them.

"Don't let Xi Xi know about this." Huo Yuzhou paused for a moment and instructed, "Get the doctor to check Xi Xi's body."

At this moment, Qiao Xi was trying her best to contact the outside world. The number of places she could go to was limited, and every time she went out, there would be a servant accompanying her. It was very difficult to send news.

At this moment, a young doctor knocked on the door and walked in. Qiao Xi raised her eyes and glanced over. It was an unfamiliar face.

"Put the medicine down and leave."

"Mr. Huo asked me to check your body. If there's nothing wrong, I'll get the nurse to help you apply the medicine."

Qiao Xi did not refuse his suggestion, so the doctor sat opposite her and placed his hand on her wrist to take her pulse. "Miss Qiao, you haven't been sleeping well recently. You're injured, so you have to rest well. Set your worries aside."

Qiao Xi said indifferently, "The ship is too shaky, so I can't sleep well."

The doctor nodded thoughtfully. "It's indeed not suitable to recuperate on a ship. Miss Qiao, you should rest on shore. Otherwise, there might be aftereffects."

The two of them casually chatted for a while before the doctor left. Qiao Xi looked at the doctor's back and sighed in her heart. She did not know if Huo Yuzhou would dock for her. She could not send a message and could only use this method to delay Huo Yuzhou until Gu Zheng came to save her.

On the other hand, Huo Yuzhou asked suspiciously, "Do we have to stop by the shore?"

"Miss Qiao's injuries aren't serious, but it's been bumpy on the sea these past few days. Coupled with the humid air, it's not an ideal environment for her injuries to recover."

Qiao Xi stood at the door and heard the conversation between the doctor and Huo Yuzhou. Although she had never seen that doctor, when the doctor took her pulse just now, she realized that the doctor's finger technique was special and guessed that this person should be from the Medical Association.

If he was from the Medical Association, it meant that Third Brother had already found Huo Yuzhou. As long as the cruise ship docked, Third Brother would be able to rush over.

Ten minutes later, Huo Yuzhou ordered them to stop by the shore. However, they were still a distance away from the shore. It would take at least five hours for them to reach the shore.

Qiao Xi was bored and could only read medical books to pass the time.

Huo Yuzhou pushed the door open and walked in. The first thing he saw was Qiao Xi leaning against the bed with her head lowered, reading a book. She was wearing a white long-sleeved nightdress, and her dark hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her long eyelashes left shadows on her eyelids. When she saw him enter, she pursed her beautiful lips as if she was a little dissatisfied.

Without a doubt, Qiao Xi was very beautiful. She was stunning like a delicate and beautiful rose. Unfortunately, she was as thorny as a rose too.

"Get out!" Qiao Xi said angrily.

Huo Yuzhou's eyes turned cold, but he slowly approached her and looked down at her. "Xi Xi, forget about Gu Zheng. Come back to Y Nation with me. As long as you agree, I'll handle everything and protect you well. I won't let you be hurt at all."

Qiao Xi sneered. "Mr. Huo, you saved me to discuss terms with Gu Zheng, right? You took me away because you think you're not Gu Zheng's match, so you can only use me to restrain Gu Zheng. Since you've already made your plans, why pretend to be affectionate in front of me?"

Huo Yuzhou's eyes were red as if he was extremely hurt. After calming down for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "In your eyes, I'm an unscrupulous and sinister person, while Gu Zheng is an honest powerhouse?"
