Chapter 813: The One Who Knows Women the Most
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Wen Chi left, Gu Huanhuan sat on the sofa, pouting as she looked at her foot. It was swollen and red, resembling a braised pig’s trotter. She couldn’t help but feel a bit down; it seemed like luck wasn’t on her side lately.
Thankfully, it wasn’t a serious injury. If she’d been bedridden, it would have been a disaster.
As Gu Huanhuan was lost in thought, someone entered the room—a graceful woman in a white coat, carrying a cup of aromatic hot coffee. The woman scrutinized Gu Huanhuan, who was sitting on the sofa.
Her delicate face was adorned with small, exquisite features and fair skin. Most notably, she exuded a youthful vibrance.
“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know this is Dr. Wen’s private lounge?” the woman asked, placing the coffee cup on the table and frowning.
Gu Huanhuan glanced at the name badge on the woman’s coat. It turned out she was Wen Chi’s colleague from the same department, named Yu Li.
“I’m… a friend of Dr. Wen’s,” Gu Huanhuan responded calmly.
“A friend?” Yu Li’s lips curled slightly, a glint of curiosity in her eyes.
Apart from the “girlfriend” Wen Chi had mentioned before, Yu Li had never seen any female friends come to visit him.
“Yes, a friend. Why? Can’t he have friends?” Gu Huanhuan said with a smile.
Yu Li’s expression darkened, but she spoke up, “Dr. Wen doesn’t like people being in his private lounge.”
Last time, when she had something to discuss with him, he had been visibly displeased, instructing her to visit him in the clinic instead of his lounge. She figured he was quite particular about his privacy and thereafter only visited him in the clinic, seldom coming to the lounge.
Seeing a woman here now, she felt compelled to issue a friendly warning.
“Do you like Dr. Wen?” Gu Huanhuan suddenly asked.
“What are you talking about?” Yu Li retorted, clearly flustered and embarrassed, as if Gu Huanhuan had hit a nerve.
“Feeling guilty, aren’t you? Looks like you do like him.” Women understood women best. Although Gu Huanhuan had never been in a relationship, she could tell from a woman’s intuition. When someone likes another person, they often have a strong sense of possession and don’t tolerate others encroaching on their territory.
Moreover, Yu Li’s slightly bitter tone was almost dripping with jealousy.
“So what? An outstanding man naturally attracts outstanding women,” Yu Li said proudly, puffing out her chest and looking down at Gu Huanhuan with a haughty gaze.
Yu Li figured that Gu Huanhuan probably wasn’t Wen Chi’s girlfriend. After all, she didn’t seem nervous at all, despite another woman eyeing her man. Normally, wouldn’t a woman be anxious in such a situation?
Gu Huanhuan pretended to understand and nodded, “Yes, indeed. You are an outstanding woman, and it’s only fitting for you to be with an outstanding man.”
“You…”
Yu Li was rendered speechless. She could hear the hidden sarcasm in Gu Huanhuan’s voice but couldn’t find a way to refute it. Her meticulously made-up face twisted slightly in frustration.
This woman was really annoying, and a bit naive. No, she didn’t know her place.
“Dr. Yu, right? If you need to see him, let’s wait together,” Gu Huanhuan said, unable to tolerate Yu Li’s superior attitude any longer. Her words had a hint of sharpness, but she thought, what if Yu Li had an urgent matter with Wen Chi? If she drove her away out of spite, she would feel guilty. After all, Wen Chi had been her benefactor.
It seemed Yu Li didn’t appreciate the gesture. She shot Gu Huanhuan a fierce glare before turning and walking out.
Gu Huanhuan was left a bit dumbfounded by the proud woman.
She had probably offended her, but since they had no prior connection, it shouldn’t matter.
But sh*t would always happen.
