Gu Fanyan's test results came back, and there was nothing seriously wrong, but the superficial wounds needed to be properly cared for to prevent scarring.

In addition, there are two serious scratches on my arms and calves, which may leave scars if they do not heal properly.

“You have to find a way,” Mr. Gu instructed. “No matter how much it costs, you can’t leave a scar.”

How can a girl wear a skirt if she has a scar?

More importantly, how will he explain this to the child's mother?

Gu Fanyan told her father to go back and rest first, saying that one nanny would be enough to stay here.

"Keep two more assistants," Mr. Gu said.

"Really, it's not necessary, Dad. Look how many people are in the corridor." Gu Fanyan pursed her lips.

There were at least a dozen assistants in the corridor.

All of these were left here by Lin Zhibai.

The security in her hospital room was comparable to that of a high-ranking official.

Mr. Gu smiled slightly and patted his daughter's shoulder affectionately, "You should rest well and not think about anything else."

He was probably referring to the issue of the taxi driver's identity.

She hadn't really thought about this problem; she knew her father would handle it.

After her father left, she lay in her hospital bed, thinking about how to face Lin Zhibai after returning to China.

Just then, a voice came from outside: "Excuse me, Miss Sheng, Young Master Lin instructed that no outsiders are allowed to see Miss Gu."

Sheng Xin pleaded, "I have something urgent to attend to, and I must see Sister Fanyan."

Gu Fanyan thought for a moment, then sat up and said to the outside of the ward, "Let her in."

Sheng Xin's eyes were red and swollen, her face was still wet with tears, and she looked very haggard.

Gu Fanyan was puzzled. Surely Sheng Xin couldn't have become like this because he was worried about her.

"Sister Fanyan, does Brother Zhibai really like you?" Sheng Xin asked in a hoarse voice.

Gu Fanyan was stunned.

“Don’t deny it,” Sheng Xin said. “We were supposed to be going back to China, but after we got to the airport, he broke up with me in front of everyone in order to come back to you.”

"I didn't stop him from coming back to you, so what did I do wrong?" Sheng Xin said, tears streaming down her face.

Gu Fanyan was a little confused.

When did they go to the airport? The homeowner probably hadn't called him yet, so why did he suddenly come back to find her?

“Sister Fanyan,” Shengxin continued, “actually, that night, the night you took me back to my apartment, I saw you and Brother Zhibai…”

She couldn't continue, and tears streamed down her face.

Gu Fanyan thought for a moment and sighed softly, "Actually, there's nothing between him and me; it's all a misunderstanding."

"But he wants to break up with me for your sake!"

Gu Fanyan felt helpless and wanted to say that Lin Zhibai broke up with her because it was normal for him to change girlfriends.

It has nothing to do with her.

But seeing Sheng Xin's heartbroken appearance, she couldn't bear to say it.

"Sister Fanyan!" Sheng Xin cried as she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Fanyan's hand. "Please help me, I don't want to break up with Brother Zhibai..."

Gu Fanyan was also troubled; she didn't want Lin Zhibai to be alone.

"How can I help you?" She had done everything she could to help, and she couldn't think of any other way.

"Sister Fanyan, Brother Zhibai isn't answering my calls or seeing me. Can you help me arrange to meet him?" Sheng Xin looked at her pitifully, her eyes full of expectation.

"As long as I can see him, I want to explain to him and clear up the misunderstanding," Sheng Xin pleaded repeatedly.

Gu Fanyan thought for a moment and nodded.

Not long after Sheng Xin left, Lin Zhibai arrived.

He didn't say anything, but first reached out and touched her forehead to make sure she didn't have a fever before withdrawing his hand.

Gu Fanyan thought about what she had promised Sheng Xin and wondered how to bring it up.

"What did you eat today?" he asked.

She didn't want to answer; these were matters of life that he had no right to concern himself with.

However, there's something to be done about the food.

"Lin Zhibai, you helped me this time, let me treat you to lunch tomorrow," she said.

Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow and glanced at the hospital gown she was wearing.

She's in the hospital right now, can the doctor let her out?

"Don't worry about that. I'll send you the address tomorrow. Just go there at noon," Gu Fanyan said.

Lin Zhibai smirked: "Are you inviting me to dinner, or are you giving me orders?"

“However, I will go,” he continued.

Gu Fanyan was stunned for a moment, then caught the happy smile on his lips.

She couldn't help but worry whether what she was doing was the right thing to do, and what if she ended up getting herself entangled in a mess...

The next day, Gu Fanyan arrived near the agreed-upon restaurant.

Sheng Xin appeared quickly, looking nervously into the restaurant: "He...is he really here?"

Gu Fanyan hummed in agreement. "The rest is up to you."

Five minutes ago, Lin Zhibai went into the restaurant.

Sheng Xin nervously bit her lip, turned around, crossed the road, and walked into the restaurant.

At this moment, Lin Zhibai sent a message: Did you stand me up?

Gu Fanyan didn't know whether he had been waiting for her for a long time or had met with Sheng Xin before sending such a message.

She ignored the message and turned to leave.

"Brother Zhibai, I want to talk to you." Sheng Xin sat down in front of Lin Zhibai, her eyes brimming with tears.

Lin Zhibai looked at her for a few seconds, then gestured for the waiter to bring him a cup of coffee.

"I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee."

Looking into his calm, handsome eyes, Sheng Xin couldn't help but shed tears again. "I... I won't stop you from going to see Sister Fanyan anymore. Please don't break up with me, okay, Brother Zhibai..."

Lin Zhibai poured ice into his coffee, took a big gulp, and then said, "My breakup with you has nothing to do with Gu Fanyan."

"I do not understand……"

"Let me put it this way," Lin Zhibai confessed, "Before you, I had many girlfriends, the longest of which lasted no more than three months... I'm the kind of scumbag you girls talk about."

“No, don’t say that,” Sheng Xin said, unwilling to accept it, “You’ve been so good to me…”

“I treat every girlfriend very well,” Lin Zhibai said, taking another big gulp of coffee. “You should have received the check, right? Are you satisfied with the amount?”

"I'm not with you for the money!"

“But I’m with you just to spend money.” Lin Zhibai put down his cup. “Okay, the coffee is finished.”

He got up to leave without looking back.

"Brother Zhibai!" Sheng Xin stood up as well. "Can you answer one last question for me?"

Lin Zhibai looked over.

Sheng Xin bit her lip: "Don't you ever have any intimate contact with your girlfriends?"

Lin Zhibai smirked: "This question is a bit too sensitive, I refuse to answer it..."

“You must answer,” Sheng Xin insisted, “During the time we’ve been together, you’ve never actually touched me, yet that night you were relentlessly pursuing Gu Fanyan!”

"Lin Zhibai, are you playing me?"

Lin Zhibai's eyes flickered slightly, then grew even colder.

Sheng Xin was different from the other girls; she always tried to provoke Gu Fanyan.

Out of touch with reality.

“Sheng Xin,” a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, “Gu Fanyan is very beautiful, do you admit that?”

Sheng Xin was slightly taken aback.

He shrugged dismissively: "I'm a man too. I was momentarily captivated by her beauty and couldn't control myself either."
