Gu Xun had sustained internal injuries. He looked fine on the outside, but he was actually gravely wounded.
The doctor ordered him to remain on bed rest.
Thinking of Pei Yan's shameless behavior, Gu Xun decided to be a little shameless himself.
"The doctor said I should move as little as possible. I'm afraid I'll have to impose upon your estate for a while."

He had worked so hard for this opportunity, step by step growing closer to the woman he admired. He couldn't bear the risk of losing her.
The estate had guest courtyards, so Mei Wanying didn't refute Gu Xun's words.
His recovery was what mattered most; it wouldn't do to be left with a chronic ailment.
It was just that there were some things she needed to make clear to Gu Xun.
