A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Li Susu opened the door and was surprised to see Chen Ke standing outside.

Why haven't you left yet?

Chen Ke entered the room with a solemn expression.

"Arno, we're heading back to Z country first thing tomorrow morning."

"Your condition can't be delayed any longer; you must go back for treatment as soon as possible."

A sense of helplessness welled up in Li Susu's heart.

She remembered her bet with Fu Xingzhou and gently shook her head.

"No, I can't leave yet."

Chen Ke frowned, his voice urgent: "Arno, don't be stubborn, your health is important!"

"Could it be because of Fu Xingzhou?" Chen Ke couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did he say to you?"

Li Susu remained silent, her eyes flickering.

She didn't want Chen Ke to get involved in her relationship with Fu Xingzhou.

"This is my own business, I will handle it."

Chen Ke looked at Li Susu, his heart filled with worry and confusion.

"Arno! What are you thinking?!" Chen Ke suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his tone filled with anxiety.

He recalled the scene of desperately rescuing the nearly lifeless Li Susu from the icy sea, and his heart suddenly clenched.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his anger was almost bursting out.

Chen Ke stopped in front of Li Susu, staring intently at her.

"Are those past memories... really that important?"

His voice gradually lowered, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"Isn't it good like this now?"

Li Susu sat silently on the edge of the bed, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment, as if even the air had become heavy.

A knock on the door broke the silence, and a staff member came in carrying a hangover soup.

"Ms. Chen, here's your hangover soup."

Li Susu accepted the hangover soup and thanked her softly.

Chen Ke looked at Li Susu, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

He sat back down in his chair, his tone much gentler.

"Arno, listen to me, stop looking for those memories."

He reached out to touch Li Susu, but stopped in mid-air.

"Your health isn't good right now, what if something else happens..."

Chen Ke didn't continue speaking, but the worry in his eyes was clearly visible.

Li Susu held the hangover soup, feeling the warm liquid flow down her throat, but her heart felt ice-cold.

She looked up at Chen Ke with a complicated expression.

"Do you... know something?"

Chen Ke's eyes flickered, avoiding Li Susu's gaze.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about." His voice was dry, and his eyes darted around. His obvious guilt made Li Susu even more certain of her guess.

"Stop playing dumb," Li Susu said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm. "Your reaction just now has already said everything."

She put down the hangover soup in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and stared intently at Chen Ke.

Tell me, what do you know?

Chen Ke subconsciously shrank back, avoiding Li Susu's piercing gaze.

“Arno, don’t overthink it,” he said, trying to remain calm and change the subject. “The collaboration between the Li family and CN is coming to an end, so there’s no point in you staying here any longer.”

Li Susu ignored his attempt to change the subject.

“Rose Manor is interested in deeper cooperation with CN Group,” Li Susu said calmly, yet with an undeniable firmness. “This would be very beneficial for CN Group’s future development.”
