I felt a pang of panic, but it quickly subsided into calmness.

“I was feeling some discomfort in my neck and came to the hospital for medicine…”F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

The excuse was both fair and reasonable.

It seemed like he was just asking out of courtesy and didn’t press the issue. He then said,

“I’m in the critical care unit, come over here!”

“Oh, okay!”

I hung up the phone and looked at Ding Yinuo.

Ding Yinuo immediately protested,

“What does he want from you? Don’t go there!”

I looked at Ding Yinuo and started to laugh.

“Why are you laughing?”

“At you!”

“What’s wrong with my asking you not to go?”

“Haven’t you noticed the problem? Gu Yuanzhou is my boss, and you’re actually telling me not to meet him…”

“He’s what boss? Nothing but a jerk. You keeping too close to him is asking for trouble!”

I didn’t care much for Ding Yinuo’s preachy attitude at this point.

In fact, I had seen Damaha for myself.

I also had lots of questions I wanted to ask him.

“Alright, I’m leaving!”

Just as I was about to leave, Ding Yinuo grabbed my hand.

“What now?”

From his expression, I could tell there was something unusual in his feelings for me.

But he didn’t say much, just looked deeply into my eyes before letting go of my hand.

“Be careful!”

“Hmm!”

When I hurriedly arrived at the Intensive Care Unit, I was surprised to bump into Shen Yishu.

But Shen Yishu wasn’t standing in the corridor. He was hiding by the emergency exit, peering towards something, as if trying to secretly capture something on video.

Noticing me, he just nodded in acknowledgment.

I spotted Gu Yuanzhou from far away and, without greeting Shen Yishu, I walked straight towards him.

Gu Yuanzhou was on the phone. As I approached, I could only catch fragments of the conversation.

“We can’t let him leave A City. Send more people to guard him so that if he dies, he dies here.”

Who was he talking about?

In my moment of confusion, Gu Yuanzhou had already ended the call.

He turned to look at me, his gaze sweeping over my neck,

“Still hurting?”

After a few seconds, I realised he was referring to my neck.

“Oh, no, it’s fine. I’ve already seen a doctor…”

He nodded, his expression softening considerably.

“Wait here for a bit!”

“Oh, sure!”

Gu Yuanzhou then entered the intensive care room, leaving me to wait outside.

Several minutes later, he came back out.

“How is he doing?”

I asked.

Gu Yuanzhou looked at me briefly but didn’t respond to my question. Instead, he just said, “Let’s go back.”

“Hmm, okay!”

The driver took us back.

Gu Yuanzhou sat in the back seat. He looked worn out, his fingers on his forehead as if he was deeply pondering something.

That afternoon, once we returned to the office, he called Zhou Chenming in.

For the rest of the afternoon, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t focus on company matters but discussed something with Zhou Chenming instead.

Fearing that I might be suspicious of eavesdropping, I kept my distance.

From afar, I sat in my small office cubicle, gently filing my nails with a nail clipper.

I have never kept long nails before.

Most of my time since marriage has been taken up by my child.

Keeping long nails could hurt the baby and interfere with housework, so I’ve never grown them out.

In fact, after giving birth to my second child, I never really took the time to pamper myself.

Women!

Generally, after marriage, we dedicate ourselves to family and children.

But in the end, what do we get?

Abandonment, betrayal, and disconnect from the times?

These are questions I often ponder when I calm down.

Song Xiaoyun’s hands are well maintained, white and delicate like the tips of spring onions. I polished my fingertips to perfect roundness, then applied red nail polish.

I used to find red vulgar, but now I realize it’s not. Red not only makes my hands look fairer, it also gives a hint of coquetry.

After admiring my fingers, I get up and make two cups of tea for the office.

The two men who were talking fell silent as soon as they saw me.

Clearly, they didn’t want me to know what they were discussing.

I hurried out.

Once I left the office and glanced back, the two men resumed their conversation.

“President Gu really values Lawyer Zhou, doesn’t he?”

Someone around me exclaimed, I turned around and saw that the speaker was Xu Yun.

Ever since Annie was fired, the working atmosphere in the company has improved a lot. Everyone is able to work earnestly.

“Yes! Lawyer Zhou has helped President Gu out numerous times.”

“I heard that Lawyer Zhou’s sister was recently recruited into our company!”

“Really?”

“Miss Song, you might not know because you’ve been so busy! Our External Liaison Department recently hired a new manager named Zhou Jing. She replaced Annie. This Zhou Jing is Zhou Chenming’s sister!”

“What’s she like?”

I casually asked. Xu Yun said, “She’s okay, a hundred times better than Annie!”

After chatting with Xu Yun for a bit, the discussion in the office ended.

Zhou Chenming packed up his things and walked out.

When he got to me, Zhou Chenming politely greeted me, “Hello, Miss Song!”

“Hmm … Hello, Lawyer Zhou, by the way, has there been any progress with the Golden Bay case?”

I deliberately probed Zhou Chenming because I wanted to know what he had been discussing with Gu Yuanzhou.

Zhou Chenming laughed and said,

“Everything is progressing well, if all goes well, the case should be cracked within half a month.”

His comment was as good as not saying anything, so I asked,

“I saw online that Wu Jun has implicated two other criminals. Has the police found any evidence?”

Zhou Chenming shook his head, “For now, I can’t reveal too much. We should go by the news released by the police.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Zhou!”

Seeing that I could not get any more information out of him, I politely exchanged a few words.

He was about to leave, then suddenly turned back,

“By the way, my sister has joined Zhenyi. I hope you can look after her in the future.”

“We’ll look out for each other!”

“Okay, goodbye!”

Zhou Chenming didn’t say much else and took the elevator.

When I returned to the office to clean up the teacups, Gu Yuanzhou was standing in front of the window smoking, looking a bit gloomy.

In the afternoon, instead of holding meetings, he knocked off early.

When I got back to Maple Mansion, Ye Mengyan wasn’t home yet.

I called Wenya, intending to invite her out for dinner.

To my surprise, as soon as I hung up, Gu Yuanzhou walked over.

“Uh, President Gu, I have something to do. I’ll be leaving first!”

“Don’t go anywhere tonight!”

“Hmm, I’ve made plans to meet a friend for dinner!”

“Cancel it!”

“President Gu, this might not be appropriate, right?”

I didn’t want to share a room with Gu Yuanzhou anymore…

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou suddenly pulled out a folded piece of paper from a book and unfolded it in front of me,

“Can you explain this?”

Upon closer inspection, it was the several characters I wrote for Gu Yuanzhou the day before yesterday, signed with the words Song Yun.

At that time, I realized my mistake and wanted to go back and find it, but it was gone.

I didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou had kept it.

At this moment, Gu Yuanzhou’s hand was pointed at the two characters in the signature, repeatedly asking me,

“Why did you write this name?”
