The Sweetest Medicine

Fang Zhihan was as indifferent as ever while holding a magazine in his hand. When he heard Yu Gangan’s voice, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. He then lowered his gaze and looked back down at the magazine again.

Meanwhile, when Lu Xuechen saw Lin Jiayu come out, his nonchalant gaze suddenly froze for a few seconds.

Seeing Yu Gangan staring at him, an awkwardness flashed across his eyes. As he suppressed the waves in his heart, he said, “It’s OK.”

Yu Gangan looked surprised.

Lu Xuechen was embarrassed.

Huh?

Did he like Jiayu?

A delighted smile bloomed from the corner of Yu Gangan’s mouth and her eyes slyly turned. “Lu Xuechen, is Jiayu the most beautiful bride you’ve ever seen?” she asked gently.

“She’s OK,” Lu Xuechen replied calmly.

These words sounded like he was trying to hide something.

But, Lin Jiayu didn’t care about his response. She simply returned to the change room and asked the shop assistant to help her take it off.

“Look, she’s angry. I was giving you the opportunity to say she’s the most beautiful bride,” Yu Gangan pretended to be upset as she lowered her head and spoke with seriousness. “Are you impatient and indifferent because the marriage is fake?”

Lu Xuechen revealed a faint smile and said to Yu Gangan, “Of course not.”

His voice was calm without any emotions but Yu Gangan could sense that Lu Xuechen seemed to care about Jiayu.

If Lu Xuechen and Lin Jiayu grew to love each other for real over time, that would be great.

After leaving the shop, Yu Gangan asked Lin Jiayu quietly, “What do you think about Lu Xuechen?”

“He’s OK.”

“What about as a husband?”

“He’s worth considering.”

“Are you afraid that Lu Xuechen tricked you?”

“What is there for him to trick? We’ve already signed an agreement. If we get divorced, he will still own his stuff, and I will still own mine. The only thing that will change is our status from never married to previously married,” Lin Jiayu said calmly.

Yu Gangan: “…”

If he was to trick her, assets weren’t the only thing to consider. He could also trick her emotions.

Yu Gangan didn’t know how to explain this, “What I mean is…”

Lin Jiayu patted her on the hand, “Don’t worry, I think this marriage isn’t bad. We each get what we want, so why not?”

Yu Gangan: “…”

It didn’t matter whether Lu Xuechen liked Lin Jiayu or not.

She was certain that Lin Jiayu felt nothing for him.

Growing to love each other was a difficult task to achieve.

…

Fang Zhihan picked up the television remote and changed the channel while Yu Gangan sat next to him and turned her head to face him, “Can I ask you something?”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Is Lu Xuechen reliable?”

This wasn’t the first time that Yu Gangan asked this question. This time, Fang Zhihan’s answer was more straightforward, “They are simply partaking in a deal with no emotional basis. Is it important whether he’s reliable?”

“But, why do I get the feeling that Lu Xuechen likes Jiayu?” Yu Gangan giggled. “When he saw Lin Jiayu walk out in a wedding dress this afternoon, didn’t you see his gaze? There was definitely something wrong.”

Fang Zhihan turned his head and leaned in towards her, “Then, do you think there’s any problem with the gaze I give you?”

The man’s handsome face was so close, his breaths fell on her face. Yu Gangan immediately leaned back.

As he looked at her embarrassed little face, Fang Zhihan’s slender fingers gently poked her on the forehead and he said with a slightly displeased tone, “All day long, all you know is how to care about others.”

Yu Gangan: “…”
