Count Ace turned back to the ward.
Du Xueyan thought Earl Ace had left, so she took out her phone and flipped through some old photos. When she saw a photo of Gu Shengyao, she fell silent.
Count Ace pushed the door open and saw Du Xueyan's sad expression. He subconsciously wanted to go forward and hug her. He even took a step forward with his right foot, but pulled it back in time.
Du Xueyan looked up at the sound of the door opening. Seeing that it was Earl Ace who had returned, she looked puzzled. "Your Excellency, is there anything else you need?" He had clearly left in a hurry.
"There's something I forgot to tell you."
Du Xueyan: "You say."
Earl Ace clasped his hands behind his back, twisting his thumbs in circles. He said, "You've just woken up, and you're too weak to exert yourself. Besides, it's snowing outside, so let me go with you tomorrow."
Du Xueyan shook her head, ruthlessly and decisively. "No need. My agent wouldn't like seeing me standing with another man." Giving Earl Ace a bitter smile, Du Xueyan said, "He's quite domineering."
Earl Ace didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He compromised and said, "Then I'll just take you to the cemetery. I won't go in with you."
Du Xueyan couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she kept silent.
"You should go to bed early. Good night." Earl Ace closed the door, turned around and left.
Du Xueyan lowered her head and continued to look at the photo of Gu Shengyao on her phone. This photo was taken in spring. That day, Gu Shengyao was wearing a thin off-white windbreaker and standing by the swimming pool downstairs from their house, talking on the phone.
He stood sideways, wearing a pair of rimless, narrow glasses. The setting sun cast a beam of light on Gu Shengyao's hair and lenses.
The entire sunset fell into the swimming pool, golden, dazzling and charming.
Du Xueyan had just woken up and saw this scene, so she secretly took a photo. When Gu Shengyao found the photo that night, he laughed at her and asked if she had fallen in love with him.
At that time, Du Xueyan was stubborn and refused to admit her love for Gu Shengyao. If she had known that the photo was Gu Shengyao's posthumous photo, she would never have lied.
She loved him, deeply but didn't know it.
Touching Gu Shengyao's eyes in the photo, Du Xueyan felt a pang of pain in her heart, and tears fell on the screen of her mobile phone.
Earl Ace stood in his lounge, watching the surveillance video of Du Xueyan wiping tears in front of Gu Shengyao's photo, and smiled. Du Xueyan, you see, you are still Gu Shengyao after all.
The next morning, Song Ci brought clothes for Du Xueyan.
"The clothes are all selected by me according to your previous dressing style. They are all new models of the season. Take a look." Du Xueyan likes dark-colored clothes. She is a beauty with a rich and gorgeous temperament. Like Song Ci, she looks better in dark-colored clothes.
Du Xueyan looked at the clothes and said, "Of course I trust your vision." After all, Song Ci was a frequent visitor to fashion shows and had worked as a fashion director for a well-known magazine. Her vision would not be bad.
Du Xueyan picked up her phone and prepared to pay Songci with WeChat. "How much is the total?"
Song Ci said, "The total is 72,000." She also bought two pairs of shoes for Du Xueyan, a pair of sneakers and a pair of leather shoes.
"good."
Without even looking at the invoice, Du Xueyan directly transferred the money to Song Ci, and Song Ci did not hesitate to accept the money. Du Xueyan slowly got out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed to change clothes. Seeing that the door was not closed, she asked Song Ci: "Can you please help me close the door?"
"Okay." Song Ci closed the door and turned around to see Du Xueyan staring at the surveillance camera on the top of the corner.
Du Xueyan had been unconscious before, so the nursing home had installed a surveillance system to monitor her condition. But now that she's awake, the surveillance system is no longer necessary.
Behind the surveillance camera, Earl Ace noticed Du Xueyan's movements. He picked up his phone and called the person in charge of the nursing home, informing him: "Immediately turn off the surveillance camera in Miss Du's room. Send someone to remove the surveillance camera in one hour."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After seeing the red light in the surveillance camera disappear, Du Xueyan took off her hospital gown and slowly put on the clothes Song Ci brought her.
After she took off her clothes, Song Ci noticed that Du Xueyan was very thin, with her ribs clearly visible. "You need to work on your body, you're too thin." If she was this thin, wearing a fitted skirt would make her look sickly.
Du Xueyan held her chest, felt it, and said, "Fortunately, it's not too small here. It would be really bad if it was too small."
Song Ci was shocked by Du Xueyan's bold actions. She didn't expect that Du Xueyan had such an interesting side.
Du Xueyan had just changed her clothes when she heard a knock on the door.
Outside the door, Earl Ace's gorgeous and moving voice said gently, "Miss Du, I made you some fish porridge. Please eat some before you leave."
Seeing Du Xueyan nodded, Song Ci opened the door and let Earl Ace in.
When Earl Ace saw Song Ci, he acted surprised and asked, "Mrs. Han is here so early?"
Song Ci: "Well, I'm going back to China tonight, so I came to see you first." She heard what Earl Ace had just said, so she asked Du Xueyan: "Where are you going?"
Du Xueyan said: "Go and pay tribute to Gu Shengyao."
Song Ci stopped talking.
When Song Ci mentioned Gu Shengyao, she felt insecure, guilty, and embarrassed. Fortunately, at this moment, Earl Ace suddenly said, "You Chinese are about to celebrate the Spring Festival. I met Leo a few days ago, and he said that he would go to Wangdong to celebrate the Spring Festival this year."
