Su Wan was both surprised and guilty upon hearing Gu Chu's words: "What! She showed the text message to Shen Baiyan? Why would she do that? I..."

Su Wan stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer.

Gu Chu said helplessly, "Why are you so surprised? Are you feeling guilty? Although it was Shen Baiyan's fault for forcing you to go abroad, his intention was for your own good. And how did you treat him? You actually showed so much disdain for him in front of Qiao Xingyu? You even told Qiao Xingyu your address and told her to go there and pester Shen Baiyan? You... you, I really don't know what to say about you!"

Su Wan then realized the seriousness of the situation, and she suddenly regretted her impulsive act: "Chu Chu, I..."

Gu Chu could understand Su Wan.

People are products of their environment. Su Wan's upbringing was too ordinary, and Shen Baiyan's identity was destined to be unsuitable for Su Wan.

If they are to be together, then they will have to overcome more than just the current chasm.

Gu Chu knew that no matter what she said, it would be more effective to let Su Wan experience it firsthand.

Experience is an essential part of growth. You will inevitably stumble and fall along the way. Pain becomes experience, and you will learn from your mistakes after a few falls.

Thinking of all this, Gu Chu comforted her, "Don't worry, let's talk about everything after we get back."

“But I…” Su Wan knew she was wrong, and she hesitated to speak.

Gu Chu, however, knew what she was thinking and asked, "Have you suddenly realized that you care a lot about his attitude?"

Su Wan's lack of response implied her agreement.

Gu Chu comforted him again: "It's okay. Even if he knows about those things, he'll just ignore you at most. This is a good opportunity for you to calm down and think about what kind of relationship you have and what your feelings for him are. Alright, it's already dark there, get some rest, goodnight!"

"good evening!"

That night, Shen Baiyan didn't return to the hotel, but instead drowned his sorrows in alcohol at a bar.

Su Wan also suffered from insomnia because she realized she had made a mistake.

She not only hurt Shen Baiyan, but also made him think she was a stupid and shallow person.

She thought about it all night and realized that she actually cared a lot about Shen Baiyan's opinion of her. In the end, she came to a terrible conclusion: she had fallen in love with Shen Baiyan!

That's why she regretted what she had done before, that's why she cared about Shen Baiyan's opinion of her, and that's why she was troubled and couldn't sleep!

Su Wan finally drifted off to sleep as dawn broke.

However, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening just as she fell asleep.

She sat up and found that Shen Baiyan had returned.

His eyes were bloodshot, indicating he hadn't slept all night, and he reeked of alcohol.

Shen Baiyan glanced at Su Wan without saying anything, then turned and went into the bathroom.

An hour or two later, Shen Baiyan came out of the bathroom. He had just changed his clothes when the doorbell rang.
