Su Li nodded; "And from what you've said, I think they have some kind of relationship."

Chen Shengnan felt a chill in her heart after hearing Su Li's words. She had told Su Li all this because she wanted to hear her say that she was overthinking things.

Men are often careless and may not notice certain things.

But that was just a reason she used to convince herself.

Jiang Jin was not the careless type; he was more meticulous than most other men.

He didn't realize he was unhappy; he was just preoccupied with other people.

"Shengnan, there is more than just love in a person's life. There is also family, friendship, and your dreams."

Seeing Chen Shengnan cover her face and sob softly, Su Li reached out and hugged her, saying, "Shengnan, these are just my guesses. If you're not satisfied, I'll take a day off in a few days and go with you to see for yourself."

Chen Shengnan looked up, her face streaked with tears. Su Li took a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away her tears, saying, "Shengnan, I'm off tomorrow. Let's go out for a walk together! Let's clear our heads."

Chen Shengnan nodded; "Ali, I'm really scared. We finally understood each other and finally got together. I feel like if I leave him, I'll never meet someone I like this again."

Su Li really wanted to tell her that this was just how she felt at the moment, and that she would feel better after this period of time passed.

But when she thought about how she still hadn't gotten over Gu Huanian, she swallowed those words again.

"Shengnan, if he really did something to wrong you, would you forgive him?"

Chen Shengnan shook her head: "No."

"That's right. He's the one who made a mistake. Don't be hard on yourself. Losing you is his loss. After you graduate from university, come to Beijing and we'll build our careers together. Once you've made some money, bring your parents over. Don't you think that kind of life would be pretty good?"

"But I feel so sad. He is really important to me. I have liked him for so many years."

Su Li said helplessly, "Okay, he's important and you're upset. You can stay with me for a couple of days. I'll take some time off and go with you to confirm whether he's still the same Jiang Jin you used to know. For now, just treat him as the same Jiang Jin you used to know. Does that make you feel any better?"

Chen Shengnan shook her head; "No."

She had barely finished speaking when she heard a child crying from inside the house: "Waaah...waaah..."

"Whose child is this?" Chen Shengnan asked in confusion.

Su Li had not told Chen Shengnan that she was pregnant, so Chen Shengnan was unaware of it.

"It's mine."

"What? Yours? Didn't you break up with Gu Huanian?"

"Some children have eaten the forbidden fruit."

As she spoke, Su Li stood up and headed towards the room to pick up the child.

Chen Shengnan was left there looking bewildered, muttering, "She ate a fruit and got pregnant? What kind of fruit is so powerful?"

Seeing that Su Li had gone into the room and hadn't come out, she followed her in and saw Su Li changing the baby's diaper.

When the little guy saw Su Li come to change his diaper, he stopped crying, smiled, and kept waving his arms and legs. He was incredibly cute.

Su Li washed the little guy's bottom and then fed him formula.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, she picked up the little one and asked Chen Shengnan, "Do you want to hold him/her?"

Chen Shengnan had never held such a small child before; "I...can I?"

"Watch how I hold it, it's very simple, you try it."

Chen Shengnan carefully took the baby from her. The little one gave her a big smile and said, "Ah ah!"

"Ah Li, is he saying hello to me?"

Su Li nodded.

Holding the little one, Chen Shengnan felt much better.

The next morning, just as Su Li was resting, she planned to take Chen Shengnan out for a walk to relax.

She noticed that Chen Shengnan's mood improved when she spent time with the baby, and she didn't have time to think about Jiang Jin.

So I thought I'd take the baby with me today, and the three of us would go for a stroll around Tianmen Square.

Su Li first packed the little guy's backpack, then brought her camera, thinking that since Chen Shengnan rarely came, they should take more photos together.

Once everything was ready, Su Li said to Chen Shengnan, "Today, we're entrusting our baby to you."

Chen Shengnan watched the little one sucking on his fingers and nodded, "Okay, I'll push and carry you the whole time. You just enjoy yourself."

Two adults and a child had just gone out and hadn't walked more than a few steps.

Then, Bai Zhenzhu walked over, wearing a blue dress.

Seeing Su Li's attire, someone asked, "Are you guys getting ready to go out?"

Su Li nodded: "My friend is here, let's take her out to have some fun."

Bai Zhenzhu stepped forward and took Su Li's arm, smiling as she said, "Could you go out with your friend another day? I'd like you to come with me somewhere today."

Su Li frowned. "Pearl, I'm sorry! My friend rarely comes to visit, so I have to go out with her today."

Bai Zhenzhu was a little unhappy. She then fixed her gaze on Chen Shengnan and said, "Comrade, could you give me Su Li for today? I really have something very important that I need her for. It concerns the happiness of my life. Is that alright?"

Chen Shengnan looked at Su Li with some embarrassment, unsure if the person in front of her was Su Li's good friend.

So I don't know what attitude to take.

"Pearl, what do you want me to do? Tell me first."

Bai Zhenzhu said shyly, "Didn't I tell you last time that I was going to confess to Lu Huai? But I want you to come with me."

Su Li found it somewhat amusing; she had just made the matter sound so serious, as if her lifelong happiness would be ruined if she didn't go.

"Pearl, there's no point in asking me to come along if you're going to confess your feelings. I wish you success, go ahead! I really can't be with you today."

Bai Zhenzhu looked at Su Li, her face flushed red, "But I think if you go with me, he'll have a better chance of accepting me."

Chen Shengnan's straightforward temper was unbearable: "Are you kidding me? You need Su Li to be with you to confess your feelings successfully? It means you know in your heart that she doesn't like you at all, and likes Su Li. You want to drag Su Li along so that people know you can't have Su Li, and then accept you."

Bai Zhenzhu did have this thought to some extent, but she was more convinced that Lu Huai wouldn't be completely indifferent to her.

Moreover, Grandma Lu Huai liked her very much, and she believed that if Su Li also went today, it would make Lu Huai see clearly that Su Li didn't like him at all.

With Grandma Lu Huai's help in bringing them together, her chances of successfully confessing her feelings will be much higher.

That's why I came to see Su Li today.

"Pearl, I won't interfere with your confession. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Bai Zhenzhu panicked and blurted out, "Su Li, even if you don't like Lu Huai, don't you still hate to see him find someone? Do you want him to stay with you for the rest of his life?"
