Song Fan’s classes today were all in the morning, so she left school in the afternoon. However, instead of going home, she went straight to Gu Chen’s place to check on his recovery.
Upon observing Su Yang’s unprecedented enthusiasm, Song Fan was surprised. He quickly called out to her, “Bring a comfortable chair for Miss Song. Also, get the snacks and fruits she used to like.’
After issuing the instructions, Su Yang busied himself serving Song Fan, reminiscent of a servant from a previous life. Not only did he work swiftly, but he also maintained a pleasant smile.
Perplexed, Song Fan looked at him. She couldn’t fathom why Su Yang, once a highly professional secretary, had suddenly transformed into a servant.
Su Yang’s actions, however, were driven by gratitude, having witnessed the pain Gu Chen endured during his illness.
Gu Chen had taken the medicine prescribed by Song Fan the previous day, and by this morning, his condition had notably improved. His face had a healthy glow, and he even managed to eat a few buns—an unusual feat for someone who used to skip breakfast due to morning discomfort.
In Su Yang’s eyes, Song Fan had become a god, worthy of worship.
“Where’s your young master?” Song Fan inquired as she enjoyed some fruit.
Su Yang replied with a smile, “Our Young Master is in a video conference, but it’s almost over. Please wait a while.”
After finishing speaking, he stood on the side without moving. Song Fan was a bit puzzled, “Aren’t you going to accompany him?”
He then explained, “I’m afraid Miss Song will be bored here alone, so I’ll accompany you in conversation.”
Song Fan found Su Yang’s meticulousness somewhat unnerving, wondering if he had hit his head. However, she refrained from asking, thinking he should consult a doctor given his age.
Soon after, Gu Chen concluded the meeting and, upon seeing Song Fan, greeted her with a smile. “I knew you would come today, so I specially brought forward the meeting time. I didn’t expect you to come so early.”
Song Fan, without saying anything, went to hold Gu Chen’s wrist, intending to check his pulse. However, Gu Chen held her hand, and their fingers interlocked.
Su Yang, sensing the moment, swiftly offered a glass of water, saying, “I’ll go get a glass of water.”
“Can you let go now? I just want to take your pulse,” Song Fan said, eyeing their intertwined hands.
Gu Chen handed over his other hand, assuring, “It won’t delay you.”
Song Fan was at a loss for words, and could only remind herself that he was a patient, then continued checking his pulse.
“Your body has recovered today, and the poison in your system has stabilized. In the future, be sure to be cautious and avoid being drugged again, especially stay away from your second uncle,” Song Fan advised.
Both of these incidents were related to Gu Hai. Song Fan felt that Gu Chen shouldn’t have met him. After all, apart from him, no one else was so eager to drug Gu Chen.
“I will do my best, but my second uncle won’t give up,” Gu Chen replied.
Song Fan also knew that Gu Hai had his eyes fixed solely on Gu Chen. He wanted Gu Zhuo to marry Song Yin right away, but he never considered that she wouldn’t marry Gu Chen. Poor Gu Zhuo was still studying at Eke and couldn’t go back to university abroad.
Song Fan stayed with Gu Chen until the evening. The two even played a few rounds of chess, and during this time, she logged into the game to do missions together. Overall, it was a pleasant afternoon.
Upon returning home, Song Fan realized there was going to be a spectacle. Not only was Tingting sitting in the living room, but there was also Gu Zhuo. The only difference was that one was very happy, and the other was unhappy.
Meng Yu, viewing Tingting as her daughter’s good friend, welcomed her warmly. She mentioned Yinyin’s health and requested Tingting not to visit until she was better.
Unperturbed, Tingting seemed more determined to go in. Gu Zhuo, prompted by Gu Hai, appeared without much enthusiasm.
Meng Yu was unsure why Gu Zhuo had come. Song Yin hadn’t shared Gu Hail s intentions with her, fearing they might directly discuss uniting the two. Her mind was still preoccupied with Gu Chen.
Meng Yu, displaying genuine warmth toward Gu Zhuo as an elder, said, “I’ve met your father a few times at banquets. We can be considered friends. I didn’t expect you to have such a good relationship with Yinyin.”
Respecting elders, Gu Zhuo smiled and replied, “I have a good relationship with Teacher Song, so I thought of coming over to visit.”
This statement nearly made Meng Yu unable to contain her inner frustration. Gu Zhuo’s words were distancing himself from Song Yin, implying that he had no real connection with her and was only there out of consideration for Song
Fan..
