After the divorce, I became a mountain god

On countless quiet nights, when Bai Susu lay alone in bed, she would often think about this matter. She really wanted to boldly confess her feelings to Xu Bo'an. She had thought about this many times and struggled with whether or not to be bold. But after thinking it over and over, Bai Susu still couldn't muster the courage to confess to Xu Bo'an!
Because she was afraid that if she brought this matter to light, her relationship with Xu Bo'an would change. She didn't want to create any distance between them. She just wanted to stay by Xu Bo'an's side quietly. That was fine too. It wouldn't be too late to confess to him when the time was right.

Bai Susu's heart was now completely consumed by Xu Bo'an. Looking at Gu Mingchuan without flinching, she said, "Gu Mingchuan, isn't this obvious enough? If it's not obvious enough..."

After Bai Susu finished speaking, she turned her head and quickly kissed Xu Bo'an on the cheek, saying, "Isn't that obvious enough now?"

Xu Bo'an was somewhat surprised by Bai Susu's sudden, light kiss. For a moment, he felt like he had been deceived. Bai Susu had said on the phone that all he needed to do was pretend to be his boyfriend, but she hadn't mentioned any other services. He felt like he had been taken advantage of.

However, Xu Bo'an was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted and put on a happy smile for Bai Susu.

Seeing Bai Susu's actions, Gu Mingchuan felt heartbroken and said, "Susu, you weren't like this before. You used to be very reserved. When we were together, you would rarely even let me hold your hand, let alone do anything else. Now you're kissing a man who doesn't love you? Wake up, okay? We're the perfect match!"

Bai Susu knew that she and Xu Bo'an were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but for some reason, after hearing Gu Mingchuan's words, Bai Susu couldn't help but feel very angry. She looked at Gu Mingchuan and said angrily, "Gu Mingchuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Which eye of yours saw that my boyfriend doesn't love me anymore!"

Gu Mingchuan said, "After you kissed him just now, he didn't reciprocate with any intimate gestures. He just smiled briefly. Do you think a boyfriend like that can be called loving you?"

Before Bai Susu could speak, Xu Bo'an said, "What kind of twisted theory is this? Does true love have to be shown in public? We've done this kind of thing countless times at home, there's absolutely no need to show it to outsiders!"

Xu Bo'an's words brought joy to some and sorrow to others. Zhang Jimin, standing at the entrance of the Second Hospital, was overjoyed to hear this. In his heart, it was now completely confirmed that Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu had a true relationship. It turned out that the two of them were very close at home, but they were just more reserved in public. They had hidden it very well. No wonder he hadn't noticed anything for so long.

Isn't it perfectly normal for men to marry when they're of age and women to be married when they're of age? Can't two people just be open and honest about their relationship? Why do they have to make it seem like they're in the shadows, making me so worried?

Zhang Jimin thought he should give the two young people some advice when he got back. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. There is nothing to be ashamed of in dating normally. Just be open and honest. He was so happy that he even thought of a name for his eldest grandson.

Seeing Xu Bo'an and his granddaughter Bai Susu so affectionate, Zhang Jimin was no longer worried about Gu Mingchuan's arrival and returned to his office with peace of mind. Gu Mingchuan's state of mind was completely opposite to Zhang Jimin's. Bai Susu knew that Xu Bo'an's words were clearly meant to provoke Gu Mingchuan. As expected, Gu Mingchuan was furious after hearing Xu Bo'an's words and said to Bai Susu, "Susu, you're too kind and too naive. Don't you think he's just using his silver tongue to deceive you? He's so young and doesn't have much clinical experience. How could he possibly be qualified to be the mentor of a top medical graduate like you? Think about it carefully!"

Bai Susu had personally witnessed Xu Bo'an's prowess. Putting aside personal feelings, in terms of medical skills alone, Bai Susu was extremely proud and happy to become Xu Bo'an's first apprentice, thanks to the Zhang family's ancestral medical books.

Bai Susu understood that the main reason Xu Bo'an readily agreed to her grandfather Zhang Jimin's request for Xu Bo'an to take her as his apprentice was because Xu Bo'an had inadvertently learned the Zhang family's ancestral medical book, and Xu Bo'an felt indebted to Zhang Jimin, which is why he agreed so readily.

Otherwise, Xu Bo'an wouldn't be willing to do such a thing. After all, he had promised to take on a disciple, so he had to fulfill the responsibilities of a master. He had to dedicate a portion of his time to teaching the disciple, and there was no salary involved. Most people wouldn't be willing to do such a thing, let alone Xu Bo'an, who was not short of money. Under normal circumstances, how could he be willing to take on a disciple? Wouldn't that just be making trouble for himself?
Therefore, Bai Susu, who had been unable to grasp the essence of the Zhang family's ancestral medical books through self-study, cherished her master-disciple relationship with Xu Bo'an. Being able to recognize him as her master was a huge gain for her, so how could she be accused of being deceived? Such words would be an insult to Xu Bo'an, a blatant insult.

Bai Susu angrily said to Gu Mingchuan, "I know perfectly well whether he's a liar or not, you don't need to remind me. Besides, what happened between us is over, you have no right to judge me. Who I choose to be my master is my private matter, it's none of your business!"

After Bai Susu finished speaking, she said to Xu Bo'an affectionately, "Darling, let's go!"

Then she reached out and took Xu Bo'an's arm as they left.

Gu Mingchuan was left standing there heartbroken. He could clearly feel that Bai Susu's attitude towards him was completely different from that towards Xu Bo'an. From beginning to end, Gu Mingchuan did not see even a trace of tenderness from Bai Susu.

Bai Susu had given all the tenderness she had shown him to another man, which made him feel very melancholy. Standing there, he helplessly took out the pack of cigarettes he had bought before waiting for Bai Susu from his pocket, took one out, lit it with a lighter, and took deep drags, as if only by taking big drags of the cigarette could he slightly relieve his inner depression.

At that moment, a woman walked up behind Gu Mingchuan and hugged him tightly from behind. (End of Chapter)
