Prior to completing their hospital admission procedure, Fang Xinxin had informed him of her identity. "Director Gu, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me."
She lifted the apple in her hand. "I could only bring this along while visiting you. To be honest, I've invested all my money currently and don't have any spare cash. I didn't want to cause trouble for myself by borrowing from anyone. I hope the two of you won't laugh at me."
She would never tell him that she was poor.
The chauffeur, Gu Guanqing, was moved by her gesture. "To think that Miss Fang thought about a driver like me. You're not someone who respects the rich and steps on the poor. Your sincerity alone is more than sufficient for me. Please give the apple to the director."
She smiled. "After so many years of friendship, I'm sure he would much prefer to share the apple with you."
Gu Linyuan watched Fang Xinxin, his eyes bright with admiration. "You're right."
He glanced at his IV drip. "Miss Fang, although your gift is light, your heartfelt sentiments are more than enough. Since it's inconvenient for us with this IV drip, could I trouble you to wash the apple?"
His words indicated that he was accepting Fang Xinxin's sincerity.
"Of course." Fang Xinxin opened her bag and retrieved the fruit knife. She entered the bathroom and washed the apple and the knife. She came back and peeled the apple before cutting it in half. She handed one half to each of the men.
Crunch, crunch...
The two of them really took the apple and ate it.
As Fang Xinxin watched the two men who were already in the second half of their lives, she could not help but feel some sympathy for them.
