As Lu Huan walked towards the restaurant, she cursed Gu Zhendong, that scoundrel, several times, almost causing her to lose face in front of her grandfather.

At the same time, she is also experiencing back pain and general discomfort.

After having brunch, Lu Huan carried Gun Gun back to his room.

snort!

Gun Gun often comes to the bedroom, but Gu Zhendong always looks very fierce, even a cat is afraid of him.

Gun Gun used to love sleeping in her bed, but whenever Gun Gun tried to jump off the bed, she would be stared at by Gu Zhendong's sinister gaze. After a while, Gun Gun lost the courage to do so.

As soon as Lu Huan entered the room, she put Gun Gun on the floor. The little guy rubbed affectionately against her legs, tilting his head back and meowing. Lu Huan was a little tired, so she plopped down on the bed and beckoned to Gun Gun on the floor, "Gun Gun, come up here!"

Unlike before, Gun Gun didn't rush to the bed. Instead, it squatted on the carpet and meowed at Lu Huan a few more times.

Lu Huan tempted Gun Gun with cat treats. The little guy was eager to eat, but he was too scared to get on the bed, as if there was some kind of monster on the bed. His tail was held high, and he walked around the edge of the bed, but he didn't dare to get on.

Lu Huan patiently tried to tempt it for a long time, but the lure of cat treats failed to break its fear of Gu Zhendong. Finally, when Lu Huan refused to give it any food, the little guy seemed to understand human nature, glared at her with mournful eyes, and then lay down on the carpet.

Lu Huan twitched her lips speechlessly. Why was she so afraid of Gu Zhendong?

I simply got out of bed and picked up the little one, who was curled up like a ball. The little guy had gotten so fat lately thanks to Grandpa Gu's pampering that it was hard to pick him up.

Gun Gun meowed a couple of times, sounding a little uneasy. Lu Huan stroked its head with one hand and fed it snacks with the other: "Poor thing, it was scared by your dad before, it doesn't even dare to go to bed anymore!"

"It's okay, Mom's here, your dad won't dare to yell at you!"

Lu Huan made a solemn promise, and Gun Gun, the cat, seemed to understand Lu Huan's words, meowing happily twice, as if to say: You carried me up here, that's why I got on the bed!

After finishing his snacks, Gun Gun lay comfortably in Lu Huan's arms, letting him pet him as he pleased.

It had been a long time since Lu Huan had petted it so comfortably. The cat closed its eyes in pleasure and purred softly, which made Lu Huan pet it even more vigorously.

It's shedding season for the little guy lately, and if you just pet him a couple of times, he'll be covered in cat hair.

Lu Huan snorted and took a picture of Gun Gun to send to Gu Zhendong, saying, "Good boy, your dad bullied me, so we'll get our revenge!"

Gu Zhendong is a germaphobe. If there's cat hair all over the bed, he'll be disgusted to death.

Hmph, let's see if he dares to bully me like that again.

After sending the photos to Gu Zhendong, she stopped caring and got sleepy again, so she hugged Gun Gun and fell asleep together.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhendong was busy working when he suddenly heard his phone vibrate.

The words "wife" popped up on the screen, and Gu Zhendong subconsciously stopped what he was doing, picked up his phone and glanced at it.

Lu Huan rarely takes selfies, but this time she generously took several in a row.

However, when Gu Zhendong saw clearly that there was a cat in the photo and that it was on his bed, the man pinched the bridge of his nose and smiled helplessly.

She probably retaliated like this because I bullied her too much last night.

How can someone so grown up still act like a child?

He casually replied to Lu Huan with a message: "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Lu Huan saw this message after she had already woken up from a nap.

I had a good, restful sleep, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally. I hugged and kissed my baby again.

With a struggle, the plump, round body leaped off the bed.

Then it squatted by the door, meowing, and when Lu Huan ignored it, it meowed several more times.

Lu Huan clicked her tongue, got out of bed and opened the door for it. The panda, with its cheerful steps, ran downstairs in a flash.

That little ingrate must have gone to ask his grandpa for food!

There was a lot of cat hair on the bed, which Gu Zhendong couldn't stand, and even Lu Huan couldn't stand it.

She must have been assimilated by Gu Zhendong's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The maid quickly changed the sheets, cleaned the room thoroughly, and ventilated the room.

Rich people have such a good life; they don't even have to do their own cleaning.

Lu Huan glanced at the time and guessed that Gu Zhendong should already be on his way home.

Let's see how he handles himself when he gets back!

However, before Gu Zhendong could return, Lu Huan received a call from Shen Fei.

Shen Fei disappeared for several days, then suddenly called her. Lu Huan asked anxiously, "Where have you been these past few days? You haven't answered my calls or messages?"

"Sister Lu, I'm fine."

Shen Fei's voice sounded weak, clearly different from usual. Lu Huan asked, "Where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you answer the phone? Do you know how worried everyone was about you!"

Sheng Fan, in particular, couldn't find anyone these past two days, which made him anxious and upset. He had blisters all over his mouth, couldn't eat, and lost several pounds.

"Is Sister Lu also worried about me?" Shen Fei suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Lu Huan replied, "Of course!"

After answering, she realized that something was wrong with what she said.

Could Shen Fei have misunderstood something?

Just as Lu Huan was about to add something, she heard Shen Fei's happy voice on the other end of the phone, "I'm really fine, cough cough!"

Seeing Chen Fei coughing, Lu Huan frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"

"It's alright, just a slight fever, nothing serious!" Shen Fei's voice still couldn't hide her joy. "Sister Lu, I'm so glad you were worried about me!"

These words were rather awkward to hear. Lu Huan was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing, everyone was worried about you!"

Lu Huan deliberately emphasized the word "everyone," and it's unclear whether Shen Fei heard it.

"Sister Lu, could you come and see me?"

"Um?"

"I'm in the hospital now, and I don't have any money to pay my medical bills."

"..." What's wrong with this child?

Lu Huan said anxiously, "Send me the hospital address, and I'll be right there."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Huan immediately contacted Sheng Fan.

Upon hearing that the person had been found, Sheng Fan's mouth blisters stopped hurting. "Really? He's been found. Where is he?"

Lu Huan gave Sheng Fan the hospital's address, and Sheng Fan frowned, "Why did we go to the hospital?"

"I don't know, let's go take a look first!"

"OK!"

The two set off separately.

Just as Lu Huan was about to leave, she ran into Gu Zhendong, who was returning home.

As soon as the man entered, he grabbed her wrist. "Where are you rushing off to?"

"I'm going to see Shen Fei!"

Upon hearing these two words, Gu Zhendong's face immediately darkened. "Have they found him?"

Lu Huan nodded, and Gu Zhendong asked again, "Then what does this have to do with you?"

She went to see other men late at night, which made Gu Zhendong extremely jealous.

Lu Huan also noticed that the man's expression was different from usual, so she quickly explained the situation.

Gu Zhendong raised an eyebrow. "Really? He called you on his own initiative?"

I always felt that Shen Fei had ulterior motives towards Lu Huan, but now he's finally showing his true colors?

The fact that he called Lu Huan over late at night under the pretense of illness must mean he had something in mind.

If he stopped Lu Huan from going, this little woman would definitely get angry, but he couldn't just let Lu Huan meet with Shen Fei alone. The best solution right now was for him to go with her.

"I'll go with you."

"You're going too?" Lu Huan looked at him with surprise. Wasn't he the one who least wanted to see Shen Fei?

Every time he met Shen Fei, he always had a gloomy face, as if he wished the two of them would clash.

Gu Zhendong raised an eyebrow. "Any objections?"

The man's eyes held a dangerous glint in them, as if she dared to utter a single word of dissent and he would suffer again that night.

The little head shook like a rattle-drum, and Lu Huan said, "Then let's go together!"

The two got into the car together. Gu Zhendong loosened his tie. Midway through the journey, Gu Zhendong asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road. Lu Huan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going downstairs to buy some food."

There happened to be a bakery on the side of the road. Gu Zhendong hurriedly went downstairs and returned a few minutes later with bread and a bottle of juice in his hand.

The bread they bought was a single serving. Lu Huan turned to look at him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat any?"

"I'm not very hungry!"

"That won't do, don't you have a stomach problem?"

Lu Huan stuffed the bread in her hand into Gu Zhendong's hand, "You eat it, I'm not hungry yet!" Afraid that Gu Zhendong would hand the bread back to her, she quickly added, "I had a late lunch today, and I'm still full!"

Gu Zhendong's meals have never been regular, and he rarely feels hungry.

Lu Huan stood to the side, glaring at him fiercely, while Gu Zhendong took a bite of bread.

The bread was soft and sweet, and Gu Zhendong had specially bought the flavor that Lu Huan liked. However, it was a bit too sweet for him. He tasted half of it and couldn't handle it.

Lu Huan said she wasn't hungry, but her stomach growled a few times. Smelling the aroma of the bread, she swallowed hard. "Is it good?"

Gu Zhendong chuckled. He clearly wanted to eat it, but he insisted on stuffing it into his mouth.

"Why don't you try it and see?"

"I don't……"

Before Lu Huan could finish speaking, Gu Zhendong shoved the remaining half of the bread into her hand. Lu Huan took a bite of the soft bread, which had a slightly sweet taste.

The bread was soft and sweet, and Lu Huan's eyes shone with satisfaction. But she only took one bite before letting go, remembering that it was Gu Zhendong's food.

"You eat it. This bread was bought for you anyway, it's too sweet!"

Gu Zhendong doesn't really like sweets, so he said, "Okay then!"

Lu Huan ate the remaining half of the bread, barely managing to fill her stomach.

In the hospital, Shen Fei was lying in bed receiving an IV drip. The child in the next bed kept crying, which upset all the other patients around her. Only Shen Fei was in a good mood, glancing at her phone from time to time.

I don't know where she is now, but she should be arriving soon.

Just as Sheng Fan was about to send a message to Lu Huan, there was a commotion outside the door.

Shen Fei's heart skipped a beat, and then she heard a familiar male voice from outside, "Do you know which bed Shen Fei is sleeping in?"

Lu Huan only told him the room number, but she didn't expect there to be so many beds in this room, and it was so noisy. Some of the beds were separated by curtains, so she had no idea which bed Shen Fei was in.

Sheng Fan had no choice but to grab a passing nurse and ask her. The nurse pointed to the bed where Shen Fei was, "The one at the very back against the wall!"

"Thank you!"

Sheng Fan walked over, pulled back the curtain, and saw Shen Fei on the hospital bed. His face lit up with joy. "We've finally found him!"

He rushed over from the film set, not even having time for dinner. Exhausted, he plopped down on the edge of the bed, completely oblivious to Shen Fei's gloomy expression, and began to talk incessantly.

"Where have you been these past few days? I was so worried about you! I was counting on you to sign a contract with me! ...By the way, what about the answer you promised me last time? What's your decision?"

Sheng Fan was very eloquent and soon bombarded the audience with a barrage of questions.

Shen Fei didn't hear a word he was saying. He had only called Lu Huan, so why was it Sheng Fan who came instead?

Sheng Fan's mouth was dry, and he wanted to drink some water. He was about to ask Shen Fei if he had any when his eyes met Shen Fei's face, which was slightly gloomy. "What's wrong?"

"Why is it you who came?" Shen Fei's tone sounded very unpleasant. Sheng Fan raised an eyebrow, indicating that he understood what Shen Fei meant.

No matter how much Shen Fei tries to hide it, he's still just a young kid in front of Sheng Fan. How could he possibly keep anything from him? He doesn't even know how Sheng Fan makes a living.

He had to admit that Lu Huan was indeed very beautiful; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a liking to her at first glance during the school anniversary celebration, and he wouldn't have spent these past few days trying to persuade her to change her mind.

Unfortunately, Lu Huan doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry, and she also has a wealthy and powerful husband. Ordinary conditions really can't tempt her.

The latter is the most important point: Lu Huan has a husband, while this young man in front of her clearly likes Lu Huan.

Lu Huan set off at the same time as him, so she must be arriving soon. He said, "Lu Huan is on her way. She called me to come."

"Really?" Shen Fei asked with a gloomy face, seemingly not quite believing it.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, just wait a moment, she'll be here soon!"

This child is quite wary.

Shen Fei scoffed and turned to look at the other side.

Sheng Fan sighed. Why are all the kids these days so short-tempered? They all act like they're royalty.

Shen Fei outwardly disbelieved it, but his mood improved somewhat.

Not long after, Lu Huan arrived, but she didn't come alone; she was followed by an eyesore.

Shen Fei's good mood was immediately ruined, and the smile in his eyes faded instantly.

Gu Zhendong met his gaze with indifference, and his expression was no better.

Lu Huan released Gu Zhendong's hand, quickly walked to the bedside, and asked with concern, "How are you?"

Shen Fei had been eager to see Lu Huan, but now he didn't want to see her at all, and didn't even want to say a word to her.

Even when asked about Lu Huan's question, Shen Fei replied indifferently, "It's alright."

Sheng Fan, listening from the side, frowned deeply. What do you mean, "okay"? The nurse just checked his temperature and said he had a high fever and was still on an IV drip.

"Where have you been these past two days? Why didn't you answer your phone?" Lu Huan felt like she was an older sister who also had to worry about her younger brother.

Shen Fei pursed his lips, unwilling to answer the question.

Sheng Fan knew the brat was angry because he wasn't saying anything.

How could she not be angry? She had been eagerly anticipating her sweetheart's visit, but instead, he brought his husband along. This wasn't a visit to comfort her; it was clearly an attempt to upset her.

As a sensible person, Sheng Fan first greeted Gu Zhendong politely and respectfully, calling him "President Gu," and then said a lot of things to evade Lu Huan's questions.

"Who cares where he went, as long as he's safe!"

“He’s already in the hospital, isn’t he?” Lu Huan frowned, disagreeing with him.

A perfectly healthy person disappears for several days and then comes back to find himself hospitalized. Something must have happened during those days he was gone.

Sheng Fan asked the same question, but Shen Fei didn't answer a word. He didn't believe that Shen Fei would answer Lu Huan in front of Gu Zhendong. He just gave a few words to brush it off and then made an excuse, saying, "It's so late, you must all be hungry. I rushed here from the film set without even having a sip of water. I'm exhausted!"

"How about ordering takeout? What would you like to eat?"

Lu Huan ate half a bread roll on the way here, and now she was even hungrier.

She was about to say no, they could eat at home, when Gu Zhendong offered, "Something light."

Lu Huan subconsciously looked at Gu Zhendong beside her, her face showing surprise. He was actually willing to stay for dinner.

He's still with Shen Fei. Is he trying to take this opportunity to hurt Shen Fei?

"Never mind, let's go back!" Lu Huan gently tugged at his sleeve and answered softly.

Lu Huan's thoughts were written all over her face, and Gu Zhendong could easily see through them. "You were eating the half-eaten bread I left over quite heartily just now, weren't you hungry?"

Dealing with Shen Fei is important, but Lu Huan is even more important.

Moreover, Gu Zhendong's words had two striking effects. Lu Huan didn't feel anything when she heard them, taking it as Gu Zhendong's good intentions. However, Shen Fei found them particularly grating. Shen Fei only heard the first half of the sentence, where Gu Zhendong deliberately showed their intimacy in front of him.

Sheng Fan ordered takeout, and what followed was an awkward conversation.

Every time Lu Huan expressed concern for Shen Fei, the temperature in the room dropped by one degree. With her icy gaze, Shen Fei was not to be outdone.

Sheng Fan felt that he shouldn't have been here today. Wouldn't it have been better to stay on set instead of getting involved here?

He couldn't afford to offend Gu Zhendong, nor could he afford to offend Shen Fei, this little devil. He was still thinking about future cooperation. After thinking it over, he could only try to treat himself as a transparent mass of air and not get involved in their conversation.

Fortunately, the deliveryman's call rescued him from his predicament. He jumped up as if he were nailed to the chair, said "I'm going to get the food," and rushed out.

The ward was noisy. Gu Zhendong sat next to Lu Huan, playing with her palm, repeatedly pinching and squeezing her flesh, as if he were playing with the most fun thing in the world.

Lu Huan's cheeks were pink and slightly flushed. She glared at him angrily, warning him to stop.

Unable to break free from Gu Zhendong's grasp, Shen Fei's hand instead tightened its grip. Gu Zhendong looked at Shen Fei with a cold smile, his eyes full of provocation.

Even Sheng Fan could see the unspoken tension between them, let alone Lu Huan.

Lu Huan was quite helpless. He seemed like a mature man, so why was he arguing with a child?

Shen Fei was quite angry. Lu Huan had come, but she had to bring along the eyesore, Gu Zhendong.

But then he thought again, Lu Huan came over as soon as she received his call, which meant that she cared about him. As for Gu Zhendong, he could interpret it as the man being worried about Lu Huan and fearing that she would be attracted to him, so he came over on purpose.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Fei felt much better and could even act coquettishly in front of Lu Huan, "Sister Lu, I feel a little dizzy."

Shen Fei has always had the look of a cute, puppy-like guy, and he's not bad-looking either. Lu Huan always treats handsome guys very well.

Besides, after getting to know Shen Fei, she completely regarded him as a younger brother. "Feeling dizzy? Should I go and call a nurse?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted some hot water." Shen Fei licked his dry lips; he hadn't had water in a long time.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get you some hot water!"

Lu Huan was about to stand up when Gu Zhendong pressed her down.

Gu Zhendong himself was reluctant to use the person, yet he was being ordered around by someone else. The man's face showed displeasure, and he finally stared at Shen Fei beside him.

The latter gave a weak smile, "It's okay, I can go without water."

Shen Fei's tone was pitiful, and Lu Huan subconsciously retorted, "How can that be!"

“But…” Shen Fei hesitated, his gaze falling on Gu Zhendong, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Lu Huan had a terrible headache; the man was holding her hand, so she couldn't leave.

Lu Huan could only look at him pleadingly, blinking her bright eyes as if to say: It's just pouring water, honey, don't be so stingy.

Gu Zhendong was furious. He was always the one pouring water for her; when had she ever asked him to pour water for him?

He's a very stingy person; if he hasn't enjoyed certain privileges, he won't allow others to enjoy them either.

Seeing that he was unwilling to let go, Lu Huan whispered, "Honey, I'm thirsty too."

Lu Huan just wanted to get some water, that's all.

Gu Zhendong looked up and gave her a cold look, then suddenly stood up. Lu Huan thought he would turn around and leave, but instead he said, "I'll go get some water."

"It doesn't matter who pours the water, it's all the same," Lu Huan nodded, "Then you should go quickly!"

Before leaving, Gu Zhendong glanced at Shen Fei on the hospital bed. When the latter showed a triumphant smile, Gu Zhendong felt even more annoyed.

No matter which one it is, he's at a disadvantage!

Gu Zhendong grew angrier the more he thought about it; he shouldn't have let Lu Huan stay with Shen Fei.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Shen Fei was talking to Lu Huan.

"Sister Lu, is Mr. Gu angry?"

That's right, he's angry!

She shouldn't have agreed to let Gu Zhendong come along today.

Lu Huan chuckled: "How could that be? He's not a stingy person!"

Shen Fei feigned indifference: "It's best that Mr. Gu isn't angry!"

"By the way, I heard from Sheng Fan that you're considering signing a contract with him. Have you made up your mind?" Lu Huan quickly changed the subject, afraid that he would ask more questions.

Instead, Shen Fei asked, "Sister Lu, are you very concerned about me?"

Lu Huan wasn't stupid; she could guess that Shen Fei was interested in her, and the word "concern" was full of his expectations for her.

Now that she was a married woman, she didn't want to hold Shen Fei back, so she smiled and casually made up a story: "You have no idea how much I wanted a younger brother when I was little. When I saw you, I thought you were especially cute."

This is treating him like a child.

Shen Fei smiled. He hadn't had much hope to begin with, but he hadn't expected her to be so unwilling to even try to coax him.

"I would also really like to have an older sister."

"Hahaha, what a coincidence!" Lu Huan laughed heartily, "From today onwards, you are my real little brother!"
