"Xiao Ruo, go get something to eat. I'll stay with Shu Shu." Breakfast was ready. After Annie finished eating, she went into the room to check. Ji Shu Shu was still asleep, and Bai Xiao Ruo was sitting next to her, propping her head up with her hand, almost asleep.

"It's okay, I'm not very hungry." Hearing Annie's voice, Bai Xiaoruo perked up immediately. She hadn't slept well last night, and now she was woken up so early.

"Even if you're not hungry, you still need to eat something. Breakfast is the most important meal."

"Okay, I'll go in a bit. By the way, did you get any results from your inquiries? Is Gu Yao really interested in Shushu...?"

“No, it was just a simple nap, nothing happened. I still believe in Gu Yao. If he really had ulterior motives towards Shushu, he wouldn’t have stayed until today.” Annie sat down next to Bai Xiaoruo.

“That’s true, but no matter what, we should wait until Shushu wakes up before asking. One person’s statement is never as trustworthy as two people’s.”

“Yes, after all, it’s always the girls who suffer…” Annie pulled Bai Xiaoruo’s hand. “Xiaoruo, you were also wronged when you married the president, weren’t you?”

Bai Xiaoruo just smiled and shook her head, "That's all in the past, I don't care about it anymore."

That's right, they're divorced now, so there's no need to force Bai Xiaoruo to recall the past. Annie was still a little confused. She saw Xian Mingyu come over last night, but he wasn't here this morning. Had he already gone back? Did the two of them have another fight last night?

"Hmm..." Ji Shushu, who was still fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She couldn't fall back asleep because of the constant voices around her.

"Shushu, you're awake." Bai Xiaoruo and Annie carefully helped her up.

"Have I been asleep for a long time?" Ji Shushu rubbed her eyes and looked around. "Where is he?"

Annie retorted, "Who are you talking about?"

"It's... that guy Gu Yao... you guys wouldn't just stand by and watch my brother beat him to death, would you?" Ji Shushu was a little worried. Actually, what happened last night wasn't entirely his fault. She had forced him and she had taken the initiative. If her brother had really hurt him, she would feel guilty.

Annie rolled her eyes, intending to tease Ji Shushu, "Oh dear, it's a terrible sight! She's been beaten so badly, there's not a single patch of good skin left, she's covered in blood..."

"Huh? How could this be..." Ji Shushu listened to Annie's words, her little face scrunched up. Gu Yao really got beaten up that badly by her older brother?

"The ambulance just took him away."

"No! No, no!" Ji Shushu threw off the covers, anxiously trying to get out of bed. "Which hospital is he in? I need to go see him. Is he in any danger?"

“Shushu, don’t panic…” Annie pulled her back. “What will you do if his life is really in danger? What if he’s left with some kind of disability, and no one will ever want to marry him again? Should you applaud? Or…”

"What clapping and applause! Although that guy is usually annoying, how could I gloat if something really happened to him?" Ji Shushu started crying again. "If no one marries him, I will! I'll marry him right now, immediately! Waaah... I'll do anything as long as he's alright."

Hearing Ji Shushu's words, Annie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Look at her, what a devoted young girl! She's in such a hurry to marry Gu Yao. Why doesn't that guy know how to cherish his good fortune?

Seeing Annie laughing happily, Ji Shushu angrily slapped her, "You're still laughing! He's your friend too, how can you laugh like that!"

Bai Xiaoruo shook her head helplessly, "Alright, Sister Annie, stop scaring Shushu. Shushu, don't listen to what she said. Gu Yao was punched twice by Brother Ziqian, but it's not as serious as it is, with not a single patch of skin on his body and covered in blood, requiring an ambulance."

"Really?" Ji Shushu stopped crying. She was relieved that he was alright; she had been terrified.

Annie looked towards the door. "Alright, the person standing outside has heard enough. Hurry up and come in and apologize."

Bai Xiaoruo and Ji Shushu exchanged bewildered glances. Who was Annie talking about? Who was at the door?

Outside the door, Gu Yao, carrying breakfast, slowly opened the door. He had heard everything they had said.

Actually, Annie had originally brought Gu Yao along, wanting him to apologize to Ji Shushu, but Gu Yao refused to go in. So Annie went in first to check if Ji Shushu was awake, and told Gu Yao to wait outside the door before coming in.

Upon seeing Gu Yao, Ji Shushu blushed instantly, lay down again, and hid under the covers.

Did he hear everything she said?

Did you hear her say she wanted to marry him?

"Shushu, stop hiding, what are you being shy about?" Annie gently patted the blanket. "If you keep hiding, Gu Yao will leave again."

"Huh? He's gone?" Ji Shushu hurriedly peeked out from under the covers, her eyes meeting those of Gu Yao standing at the door. Her face flushed red.

"Annie! You lied to me again!"

"Yes, yes, you two chat. Xiao Ru and I won't stay here as third wheels." Annie pulled Bai Xiao Ru out of the room and closed the door behind them.

In the corridor.

Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but ask, "Sister Annie, do you think... Shushu and Gu Yao will really be together?"

"I don't know about that, but I could tell from Gu Yao's eyes just now that he's a little interested in Shushu."

"If they can really be together, that would be great...they're a good match and very suitable." As long as her friend is happy, Bai Xiaoruo is naturally willing to offer her blessings.
