My Sweet Dr. Xu

She looked at Gu Nantian. "Why are you staring at me like this?"

"Although I don't remember my past, I know I have someone whom I love deeply." Gu Nantian looked at her eyes, as if that person was her.

Xu Zhiyin assured him, "That person is definitely not me. Don't stare at me with that look. If there's such a person, your subordinates will know, wouldn't they?"

"Yes." Gu Nantian replied, "I've seen that girl but it doesn't feel right…"

The moment he woke up and saw Xu Zhiyin, the figure in his mind had overlapped with Xu Zhiyin.

Everything about her had captivated him.

This was also why he had asked his men to look for Xu Zhiyin.

It seemed he only got his sense of security when he saw her.

"Really? Maybe you could ask someone to bring her here to see me?" Xu Zhiyin suggested.

At this moment, she wasn't sure what she should do.

After seeing that woman, she might be able to ask about Gu Nantian's past.

However, Gu Nantian frowned and was reluctant, "I don't wish to see her."

***

After looking through the medical records, Xu Zhiyin gave up. Gu Nantian's external injuries were almost completely healed. Besides his loss of memory, nothing else was wrong with him. Thus, the medical record could not give her useful information.

Xu Zhiyin decided to ask the people around Gu Nantian, hoping to get some useful information.

She stood up and walked out of the bedroom while Gu Nantian trailed behind her. She walked to the corridor and her vision fell outside the window. It was dark outside.

Never had she expected the time to pass so quickly. It had been several hours.

Due to Gu Nantian's torture, she had forgotten the truth that she had just gotten a divorce.

When she stopped, Gu Nantian did not urge her but he stood by one side, looking at her patiently.

His subordinates were surprised with Gu Nantian's patience. Although Gu Nantian had lost his memory, during these three months, his temper was not any better, instead he was more violent.

However, in front of Xu Zhiyin, he had turned into another person1.

Xu Zhiyin regained her senses and while looking at Gu Nantian, asked for his permission, "It's getting late, can I go home first and come another day please?"

If Gu Nantian spent three months and couldn't recall his past, she would definitely be unable to do anything there and then.

Thus, she thought it would better if she took her leave.

As for whether to return or not, she would think of that later on.

As if seeing through her intention to escape, Gu Nantian disagreed, "No, it's late now. Stay here!"

"I do not wish to stay in an unfamiliar man's house. If my husband were to know, he'll be angry and it's not good for my reputation."

 "If you don't say, no one will know." Every time she mentioned leaving, Gu Nantian became stubborn.

Xu Zhiyin saw the firmness in his eyes and was about to say something but his servant walked over and reported, "Dinner is ready."

"Let's go! We'll have dinner."

Gu Nantian sent her an invitation.

Xu Zhiyin was hungry at that time.

She was not a person who was willing to torture herself. Since she could not leave, she would stay and not torture herself.

***

Tonight, Gu Nantian seemed happy and had a good appetite. His personal assistant, Qiao, stood by the side, observing each of Gu Nantian's gestures. Affinity was something beyond explanation. Before Gu Nantian lost his memory, he had never treated women in such a gentle manner before, except Miss Gu.

After dinner, Xu Zhiyin was urged to stay in Gu Mansion. She asked Qiao about Gu Nantian's past. From the information Qiao gave her, she knew Gu Nantian had a girl he loved dearly and her name was Gu Xinyi, the adopted daughter of Gu Nantian's uncle. Both of them grew up together and they were very close. Before Gu Nantian lost his memory, he doted on this woman. Those who bully Gu Xinyi were digging their own grave.

Qiao looked at Xu Zhiyin and analysed, "I think Mr. Gu might have taken you as Miss Gu. His attitude toward you now is exactly the same as how he treated Miss Gu in the past."

Xu Zhiyin replied, "This is strange! Why me? I didn't know him in the past."

 "Could it be when Mr. Gu awoke, you were the first person he saw?"

"It makes sense."

This was an imprinting behavior.

The newborn fledgling would regard the first animal it saw when it opened its eyes as its mother.

Gu Nantian who had lost his memory saw her when he woke up. Hence, he might have mistaken her as the woman he had always loved?

If it was the case, then, the explanation made sense.

"Erm… does Miss Gu know about Mr. Gu's memory loss?" Xu Zhiyin asked.

"Of course," Helplessness filled Qiao's eyes, "but, Mr. Gu detests Miss Gu nowadays and his attitude toward her is completely different. I'm not sure why. Miss Gu came several times to see Mr. Gu but she left crying."

 "…"

That night, the servant got a room ready for Xu Zhiyin and she stayed back in Gu Mansion. Qiao told her, "Dr. Xu, you don't have to feel stressed staying here. All the other doctors who came to treat Mr. Gu stayed here too. They stayed back to provide better service for Mr. Gu. I'm sorry we have held you up. We'll repay you with hourly wages."

 "Thank you very much."

What Qiao said decreased the pressure in her as Qiao did not let private affairs interfere with his duty, unlike Gu Nantian who stared at her with that weird look, making her feel uncomfortable.

She let out a sigh of relief listening to Qiao.

Gu Nantian had temporarily mistaken her as the woman he loved. As long as his memory recovers, he would not have any reason to hold her back here, would he?

The next morning, Xu Zhiyin woke up early and took a walk in the garden. She had the habit of waking up early. At this time, Gu Nantian was still asleep and she didn't need to face that man.

Gu Mansion was huge and it was bigger than Ji Liunian's mansion.

The Ji family was the wealthiest family in Z City but the Gu family was not a bit inferior.

The reason the Gu family was not recognized was probably because of Gu Nantian, the authoritative figure who was unreliable! Although his financial ability was not below the Ji family, he couldn't be renowned and respectable like the Ji family.

After strolling in the garden, Xu Zhiyin went back to the mansion. There were servants in the house and she wanted to ask them to prepare breakfast for her. However, when she walked in, she saw a young, pretty lady sitting on the couch. She was talking to a servant, "Is Brother Nantian still sleeping?"

 "Yes."

"I heard you have employed a doctor for him?" The girl was talking in a manner as if she was the owner of the house.

This girl was most probably the woman Gu Nantian loved, Gu Xinyi!

Xu Zhiyin couldn't help but take a few more looks at her!
