Outside the surgery room, Fang Shaobei asked, "Aren’t you going to tell his parents?"
Gu Qimiao lowered her head, "... I’m too afraid to say it."
"If something really happens to him, will you tell them then?"
Hearing this, Gu Qimiao’s eyes instantly reddened. She was extremely worried and scared something might happen to Mo Ming. The Gu family wouldn’t let her off, and she herself couldn’t bear anything happening to Mo Ming.
Fang Shaobei, on the other hand, calmly suggested, "Make a call. Don’t try to bear everything alone, you can’t handle it all."
Gu Qimiao lowered her head and thought about it, but then Fang Shaobei’s phone rang first. It seemed urgent, so Gu Qimiao said, "Mr. Fang, you go ahead, thank you for coming."
Fang Shaobei thought for a moment. He originally wanted to be there to protect Gu Qimiao when the Gu family arrived, but seeing the urgency of the situation, he said, "I’ll come back later, call them when I return."
"It’s okay, you go ahead."
He turned and took a few steps, still worried, then looked back at Gu Qimiao. She was already taking out her phone. The Gu family would definitely blame her without understanding the situation.
He reluctantly took out his phone and dialed a number while walking, though it was for Gu Qimiao’s safety.
No one answered, but as he walked, he heard a phone ringing getting closer. He turned a corner and paused, seeing the phone’s owner leaning against the wall. Their eyes met.
Fang Shaobei hung up and smiled, "Seems I was being meddlesome."
Shen Yanchen just looked at him. He didn’t care who it was, any man around Gu Qimiao wouldn’t get a friendly face from him, even an old friend from school.
Fang Shaobei knew Shen Yanchen’s reserved and jealous nature, so he wasn’t surprised by his stalking Gu Qimiao. He just raised an eyebrow, put away his phone, and left.
Gu Qimiao finished her call and sat anxiously on the bench outside the surgery room. Whether the Gu family blamed her or not, they had the right to know. Besides, Mo Ming was injured because of her...
She twisted her fingers nervously, not noticing the approaching footsteps until a pair of black leather shoes entered her view. She looked up along the long legs.
"... Brother Yan Chen."
Shen Yanchen sat next to her and asked casually, "Have you eaten?"
Gu Qimiao shook her head, "Not really hungry..." With all this on her mind, how could she eat?
He averted his gaze from her haggard face, each additional glance made his heart ache more.
Gu Qimiao glanced at him secretly, not knowing what to say.
Just having him sit beside her made her feel less scared, like someone was there to support her world...
The Gu family rushed over upon receiving the call about their injured precious son.
Mrs. Gu started shouting as soon as she arrived, "Where’s my son?!"
Then she saw Gu Qimiao beside her, grabbed her, and demanded, "What happened to my son?!"
Gu Qimiao bowed her head in silence. Mrs. Gu raised her hand to slap her, but Shen Yanchen easily caught her hand, "She owes nothing to your family, you have no right to blame her."
Mrs. Gu was about to scold both Shen Yanchen and Gu Qimiao indiscriminately when Mr. Gu hurriedly stopped her, "Shut up!"
If not for Shen Yanchen’s help, the Gu Company would’ve already collapsed. Besides, the company isn’t fully stabilized, and they can’t afford to offend Shen Yanchen. With his skills, even a reputable company could be ruined by him, let alone the already shaky Gu Company.
Gu Qimiao stood beside Shen Yanchen. With him behind her, all her fear seemed to disappear. She knew this kind of dependence was bad, knew he couldn’t always provide her with security, but she was hopelessly indulged.
