Chapter 2: Kidnapped
Not long after that, she was thrown onto a bed. The bed was soft. She struggled and found that her hands were tightly tied up…
That moment, Xu Zhiyin's confidence withered. She lay on the bed with her body curled up like a cooked shrimp.
Very quickly, she heard the sound of the door opening. Someone walked in.
"Master Gu, we have brought her here." The bodyguards who had been silent finally reported.
When Xu Zhiyin heard this, she was more anxious. If they were after her money, she could still talk to Ji Liunian. The Ji family did not lack money and might save her. However, if they intended to rape her, what should she do?
Although she was a divorced woman, she was still a virgin. She didn't want her first time to be given to some stranger.
The person who walked in came close to her. With one of his knees pressing on the bed, Xu Zhiyin could feel the slight shaking of the bed.
She bit her lips, afraid to talk. Although her heart was filled with worries, before she knew the person's intention, she dared not speak.
The black cloth covering her eyes was taken down and the sight that welcomed Xu Zhiyin was an extremely handsome face of a man.
Xu Zhiyin skimmed through her surroundings. A few people in black were guarding the door. The room was luxurious and it was not inferior to the mansion of the Ji family which was known as the wealthiest family in town.
It looked like this man did not lack money!
He was very good looking, not inferior to Ji Liunian. Men like this wouldn't lack women either.
So, why did he kidnap her?
"Who are you?" Xu Zhiyin looked coldly at the man. Although she was very nervous within, the expression on her face showed calmness.
"Darling wife, don't you remember me?" Gu Nantian smiled. His smile was harmless.
"Darling wife? Who's your wife? You've got the wrong person!" This manner of addressing her stabbed Xu Zhiyin's wound once again. She was married to Ji Liunian for three years and Ji Liunian had always addressed her by her name and had never called her darling wife.
However, this unknown man in front of her addressed her so intimately.
"Don't you remember me? Three months ago, I was sent to the hospital because of an accident. You saved my life." He looked at her with disappointment, "I didn't expect you to forget so fast."
"…" Xu Zhiyin was silent for a while and tried her best to recall the incident that happened three months ago. Now that she looked closely and carefully at the man's face, she finally remembered, "It's you!"
Three months ago, she received a patient, a man who was sent in due to a road accident. He experienced a severe brain injury. When he awoke, he couldn't remember anything and bafflingly took Xu Zhiyin as his wife.
Xu Zhiyin had seen extraordinary patients before. Hence, she was calm. To pacify the patient, she did not rush into an explanation.
However, the next day, the patient who was still heavily injured had disappeared from the hospital without reason. There was not even record of his discharge.
Xu Zhiyin had forgotten about the incident. She had many patients and it was impossible for her to remember each and every patient of hers. Now that this man mentioned it again, she remembered immediately.
His current look was completely different from his injured look. At that time, he was unkempt, unlike now.
His whole body emitted an air of oppressiveness. It was as if everything else served as a backdrop in places where he existed.
After understanding his identity, Xu Zhiyin was not as anxious. She stared at the man in front of her and found that she didn't know his name. "I'm only a doctor. I've tried my best to save you in the hospital and had not done anything wrong. Why did you kidnap me?"
She was even placed on the bed. What did he intend to do?
Gu Nantian looked at Xu Zhiyin who was tied up. He frowned and asked coldly, "Who ordered you to tie her up?"
The bodyguards looked at him innocently, "Didn't you ask us to invite Dr. Xu here? So, we…"
"I said 'invite', is this how you invite people?"
"In the past, whenever Master Gu ordered us to invite someone, we were told to invite them in this manner." The bodyguard who was speaking felt very innocent.
Xu Zhiyin couldn't believe what she heard, "This is your idea of an invitation? I was almost scared out of my wits!"
Gu Nantian apologized like a child who had made a mistake, "It's my fault. I didn't give clear instructions. Are you alright?"
He loosened the ropes on Xu Zhiyin's hands. His eyes were gentle.
Xu Zhiyin felt awkward being stared at by him. This man had treated his subordinates and her in two totally different manners. "Why did you ask me to come here? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I've lost my memory. After three months, I was still unable to recall my past."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiying was calmer. She looked at him and asked, "So, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Since you're a doctor, you should have a way to help me recall my past?" Xu Zhiyin was the first person he had seen when he woke up. Thus, in his eyes, Xu Zhiyin had a special significance.
As a doctor, it was her duty and responsibility to help her patients.
Xu Zhiyin's sense of occupation arose spontaneously, "I'll try my best within my capability."
Gu Nantian exclaimed, "Good, I trust you."
"Err…" Xu Zhiyin felt a little guilty with his trust, "I'm not that good. Don't get your hopes up too high. Actually, you can look for a better doctor."
"No, I only want you." Gu Nantian said firmly.
His words were rather baffling, "Why?"
"Because you are my wife." He smiled while he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"…"
Xu Zhiyin was a reserved person and she had never expected herself to be taken advantage of during the first meet up! This man…this man was too…
He was too shameless!
"How can you do this?"
She glared at him angrily.
"How can I do what?" Gu Nantian was obviously oblivious of what he did wrong.
"I'm a doctor. You can't harass me just like that. It was wrong of you to kiss me just now."
"When I kissed you just now, I didn't regard you as a doctor!" Gu Nantian said confidently, "I regarded you as my wife."
