"Sister Fanyan... I just had an idea in my head, it's not time to write a project proposal yet..." Shen Xinghui smiled, but her eyes darted away.

Gu Fanyan stared at him like a searchlight, without saying a word.

Shen Xinghui couldn't help but feel guilty.

Lu Dongjue gestured with his chin at him, "You should go back first."

After Shen Xing left, Lu Dongjue told the truth: "Sheng Nanyin told me a way to completely detoxify Wanwan."

Gu Fanyan wasn't surprised; Sheng Nanyin's private chat with him that time shouldn't have been a waste of time.

"Then why are you looking so worried?" she asked. "Is it because the solution is difficult to implement?"

Lu Dongjue's expression was conflicted: "She said that as long as Wanwan gives birth to the child, she can be cured of the poison."

Gu Fanyan was stunned, not expecting things to be so simple.

"Lu Dongjue, are you... unable to have children?" she asked, otherwise why would he be so worried?

Lu Dongjue was speechless. "Sheng Nanyin didn't say whether there would be any dangers during Wanwan's pregnancy, given her physical condition."

"I asked Shen Xing to find some top experts to examine Wanwan's body."

I see.

Gu Fanyan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Lu Dongjue, I never thought that one day you would be the one to make me believe that true love still exists in this world."

Lu Dongjue has become more thoughtful and considerate because of Wanwan.

“When you can’t afford to lose something, you become very careful and afraid of making the slightest mistake.” Lu Dongjue’s tone was also cautious.

"Wanwan doesn't know about this yet, does she?" Gu Fanyan asked.

Lu Dongjue hummed in agreement. "There's no need for her to worry. I'll let her know if everything is alright."

Gu Fanyan nodded; he had considered things very carefully.

“Wanwan and I went to pick out jewelry today,” she said, explaining her purpose. “Although she didn’t say it, I could tell that she really wanted to wear the Yun family’s heirloom jewelry when she got married.”

After listening to her story, Lu Dongjue thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. I'll go to her aunts and uncles and buy the jewelry from them."

Gu Fanyan shook her head: "It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but I think it would be best if Li Xiaoyun's jewelry could be given to her."

Lu Dongjue nodded. "I understand."

"Sister Fanyan, thank you."

Gu Fanyan left the private room, walked through the noisy lobby on the first floor, and headed towards the bar entrance.

She had tried her best to avoid the dancing crowd in the hall, but someone still bumped into her.

She frowned, noticing a strong smell of alcohol.

The person who came hugged her waist and called out in a tearful voice, "Sister Fanyan, Sister Fanyan..."

She looked down in confusion and saw that it was Sheng Xin.

Sheng Xin was at least 90% drunk, but she still recognized Gu Fanyan and wouldn't let her go.

Gu Fanyan had no choice but to take her out of the bar and settle her on an outdoor bench.

She took out Sheng Xin's phone, pressed Sheng Xin's finger to unlock it, and then called Lin Zhibai.

However, after several attempts, no one answered.

He won't even answer his girlfriend's calls?

Gu Fanyan had no choice but to send a text message: Sheng Xin is drunk, please come and pick her up.

A moment later, a message came back: "Please take her home, thank you."

Then another address was sent.

Gu Fanyan was speechless. Did he even know who was sending the text message? He just sent the address.

But staying stuck here wasn't a solution, so Gu Fanyan had no choice but to take Sheng Xin into her car.

"Sister Fanyan, sob sob..." Halfway through the journey, Sheng Xin suddenly leaned over from the passenger seat and hugged her, crying loudly.

Gu Fanyan quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

"Sister Fanyan, he doesn't want me..." Sheng Xin cried sadly, "I've tried everything you suggested... but he still says he wants to wait until after we get married... but when can we get married? Waaah..."

Gu Fanyan was somewhat surprised, but then she thought about it again and realized that perhaps she was the one who was ridiculous.

“That’s good, it proves he really cherishes you,” she said.

Thinking back to how presumptuous Lin Zhibai was with her back then, it was probably because he never imagined they would have a future together.

Sheng Xin shook her head, crying, "If he really loved me, why wouldn't he want to be close to me... How can I get pregnant like this..."

Gu Fanyan had no answer.

She did everything she was supposed to do.

She couldn't very well send Sheng Xin to Lin Zhibai's bed.

Gu Fanyan delivered Sheng Xin to the address, and when she opened the door, she was slightly taken aback.

She immediately realized that this was Lin Zhibai's apartment.

She was all too familiar with the austere and simple style inside.

She also found it strange that Lin Zhibai remained celibate even though they were living together.

When Sheng Xin got home, she cried and vomited, and made a fuss for a long time before finally falling asleep in bed.

Gu Fanyan covered her with the blanket and then prepared to leave.

Looking up, I saw a familiar figure walking in through the doorway.

Perhaps because Sheng Xin had made too much noise, Gu Fanyan didn't hear Lin Zhibai open the door.

"Sister Fanyan?" Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Gu Fanyan herself was quite surprised. With so many people in the bar, how could Sheng Xin have blocked her so accurately?

“I went to a bar and happened to run into her,” she said.

It can only be described as a coincidence.

She wanted to leave, but Lin Zhibai's tall figure blocked most of the doorway.

She could squeeze her way out, but that would inevitably lead to physical contact with him.

"I'm going back now," she said.

Lin Zhibai moved aside slightly, making room for just one person to pass through.

Gu Fanyan didn't waste any more time with him and managed to get out through the narrow passage.

However, as she passed by him, he suddenly moved his foot and squeezed her against the door frame.

His tall figure completely enveloped her, and his voice rang out from directly above her head: "Sister Fanyan, did you come to see me?"

His hot breath as he spoke sprayed all over her head.

“No,” she replied.

He chuckled softly, "Why don't you look up and talk to me?"

Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't look up because she had already sensed something was off about his gaze.

From the moment they met, his gaze was fixed on her and never left her.

But she looked up, otherwise he would have kept pestering her.

"Lin Zhibai, now you can let me go..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips had already descended, pressing down heavily and sucking deeply.

Gu Fanyan's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected him to do this at all, especially since Sheng Xin was right next to her...

"Are you crazy!" She shoved him away and turned to walk out the door.

However, he caught up quickly, grabbed her arm, turned her around, and pinned her against the door, then pressed himself against her again without hesitation.

Gu Fanyan's heart grew colder and colder.

He was saving his girlfriend for marriage, but he treated her with complete disrespect.

"Slap!" She slapped him without hesitation. "Lin Zhibai, what do you take me for?"

He braced his hands against the door, looking down at her fiercely: "Did you teach Sheng Xin to wear a white sundress? And to wear jasmine perfume?"

Gu Fanyan was taken aback; she had taught Sheng Xin this before…
