When they saw Liu Nian get off the bus, the college students were all stunned. What a beautiful woman!

Su Ke had just finished self-study when he received Liu Nian's message and immediately ran towards the school gate.

He ran very fast, and Xiao Yang called after him, but he didn't hear him.

Liu Nian didn't wait long before Su Ke came out.

Judging from his slightly out of breath, you could tell he had run here.

Ignoring the strange looks from his classmates, Su Ke walked naturally to Liu Nian. Although his breathing was unsteady, he spoke very gently. "How come you have time to come pick me up? Aren't you going to watch the shop?"

Liu Nian reached out and hugged him, a gesture meant for others to see.

Su Ke was taken aback by her action, but still reached out and hugged her back.

"Why are you being so proactive today?"

Liu Nian's sullen voice came through, sounding somewhat dissatisfied: "I know about the post at your school, why didn't you tell me? I'm the main character too!"

"You know now!" He thought that if he didn't tell Liu Nian, she wouldn't know, and that he could handle it himself.

"I understand, but it's nothing serious. I've already hired a lawyer, and I should be able to clear your name as early as tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, she hired a lawyer for such a small matter, and Su Ke hugged her even tighter.

"Thanks."

That evening, photos of Su Ke and Liu Nian embracing at the gate of B University resurfaced on the campus forum, and the online rumor that Su Ke was being kept by a sugar daddy only gained more attention, with some students making all sorts of vicious comments in the comments.

Anonymous user 1: [As expected, a face like that is perfect for living off a woman.]

Anonymous user 2: [Holy crap, I was so blind! I used to really like this guy, I never imagined he was this kind of person.]

Anonymous user 3: [I know this female lead; she owns a flower shop near the school.]

Anonymous user 4: [Is she the owner of that flower shop that's been getting a lot of repeat customers lately?]

Anonymous user 3: [Yes, she's incredibly gentle and very good-looking.]

Anonymous user 4: [Ah! I'm so envious, why don't rich women like me?]

The tone changed immediately after this comment was posted. Male netizens envied Su Ke for having such a beautiful girlfriend, while they couldn't even afford to be kept by a woman.

Su Ke was looking at his phone on the second floor of Liu Nian's flower shop. The change in the comments was something he hadn't expected.

After pondering for a moment, the only thing he could think of was that Xiao Yang and the others were helping him control the situation.

As a law student, he originally intended to use this opportunity to hone his skills and teach those who spread rumors what they could and could not say.

But before he could take any action, Liu Nian had already consulted a lawyer.

Sigh! He can't help but eat this freeloader's rice.

"Susu, it's time to go home." After delivering the flowers ordered by Mr. Li, Liu Nian decided not to close her shop anymore.

After Su Ke got off, the two left the store.

Ningxia arrived just then and was a little stunned to see them looking like they were about to close the door.

"Did your sister go home early today?"

Seeing her fleeting years, I just realized I hadn't informed her yet.

He immediately laughed and said, "Yes, I'm leaving get off work early today, and the shop won't be open tomorrow either. You can have a good rest."

Ningxia glanced at Su Ke and realized that he wasn't even looking at her.

She knew about what happened on the school's online forum, and it had a significant impact on Su Ke.

Actually, she hoped that Su Ke would break up with Liu Nian because of this, so when she found out, she didn't tell Liu Nian. In her heart, she hoped they would break up.

"Then I'll head back now. Be careful on your way home, sister."

Liu Nian nodded: "Goodbye."

On the way back, Su Ke's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it, his expression changed, and he quickly answered it.

"grandmother."

Liu Nian tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, but continued driving without making a sound.

Su Ke didn't notice her abnormality, but in the next few seconds, her face suddenly turned pale.

Liu Nian caught a glimpse of his sudden change out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself, "This is bad. Could something have happened to Su Ke's family?"

"Sister, I might not be able to go back with you. Park your car up ahead, I have something to do. I'll come find you when I'm done." His tone was somewhat anxious.

Instead of stopping the car, Liu Nian asked with concern, "What's wrong, Su Su? Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Her gentle concern caused Su Ke's suppressed emotions to crumble instantly. Her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "My grandmother is hospitalized at the First People's Hospital."

Upon hearing this, Liu Nian noticed there was a U-turn intersection ahead, so he immediately turned the car around and headed towards the hospital.

The two remained silent throughout the journey. Liu Nian drove as fast as possible, which also eased Su Ke's anxious mood somewhat.

In his haste, he reminded Liu Nian, "Sister, don't drive too fast, be careful."

Liu Nian's driving skills were as steady as a rock, and she chased after several green lights in a row. To Su Ke's worries, she just smiled.

The car arrived at the hospital shortly after, and the security guard at the entrance, who was there to issue parking tickets, indicated that there were no parking spaces available at Liunian Hospital.

There was nothing else Liu Nian could do but let Su Ke get out of the car first while she went to find a parking space.

Before getting out of the car, Su Ke said to her, "Sister, thank you, you can go back now!" He didn't want to trouble Liu Nian anymore. They were boyfriend and girlfriend now, and he didn't want Liu Nian to be busy with him at this critical juncture. She had no obligation to do so at the moment.

Liu Nian stared at him for a few seconds, said nothing, and drove away.

Su Ke ran into the hospital and found the ward where his grandmother was.

Besides the elderly man lying in bed, there was also a middle-aged man in the ward.

"Uncle, how is Grandma?" Su Ke went straight to the old woman on the bed as soon as he entered the ward.
