The two quickly followed her out of the banquet hall and stood behind a large tree in the garden. They watched as Dr. Lin helped the unsteady Su Qianqian to the bench in front of the tree.
After Su Qianqian sat down, she tilted her head slightly, and the drunkenness made her almond-shaped eyes even more watery and hazy.
The evening breeze ruffled the stray hairs on her cheek, and she rubbed them uncomfortably with the back of her hand.
Dr. Lin stood before her, his expression gentle, his voice soft and slow: "Ms. Su, look me in the eyes and listen to me, okay?"
Su Qianqian blinked, but her gaze kept wandering. Her little head swayed slightly, tilting left and right, refusing to focus.
She seemed to find it very amusing, and the corners of her lips even curled up slightly, revealing a confused yet charming smile.
Dr. Lin had to follow her tilted head, turning it back and forth, trying to catch her gaze, but he couldn't manage it. On the contrary, Su Qianqian became happier and happier as she played.
The temperature rose today, and after Dr. Lin had been working on it for a while, a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Hidden in the shadows behind the tree, Gu Chengyu's tense expression gradually relaxed, and he even looked somewhat amused and exasperated.
Looking at his little girl's innocent yet mischievous appearance, the slight irritation and unease in his heart gradually subsided.
Dr. Lin clearly hadn't expected this situation. Helpless, she stopped her futile chase, quickly walked behind the tree, and whispered to Zhou Yu'an:
"Dr. Zhou, you've seen Ms. Su's condition; I'm completely unable to guide her."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengyu immediately said, "Then let's not try."
He looked at Zhou Yu'an, his eyes regaining their usual arrogance and confidence: "Yu'an, I, Gu Chengyu, have seen all kinds of people in my life."
"If I can't even tell whether someone is sincere or not, how can I manage the Gu family?"
"There's no need for these methods. I trust my own judgment and I trust her."
As he spoke, he was about to walk towards Su Qianqian.
"Chengyu!" Zhou Yu'an grabbed his arm, unwilling to let all this effort go to waste.
He glanced at Su Qianqian, who was swinging her legs boredly on the bench because no one was playing with her, his eyes darkened, and he instructed Dr. Lin:
"Then just ask."
"Ask her the questions I told you about directly."
Gu Chengyu's face darkened: "Zhou Yu'an!"
"Just this once!" Zhou Yu'an gripped his arm tightly, his tone unusually insistent.
"If her answer is sincere, I will never ask her another question again."
"Don't you want to hear what her most instinctive answer is when she's most relaxed and unguarded?"
Gu Chengyu stopped moving and started struggling again.
He looked at the innocent and naive figure not far away, took a deep breath, and did not go forward, which was considered tacit approval.
Dr. Lin walked back to Su Qianqian, abandoning all hypnosis techniques, and spoke directly. His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for the two people not far away to hear clearly:
"Chen Que, did you deliberately approach him?"
On the bench, Su Qianqian, slightly drunk, almost immediately furrowed her delicate eyebrows in disgust, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, her voice filled with undisguised aversion:
"No, he came to me on his own. He's so annoying and disgusting..."
This answer put Gu Chengyu at ease, but the next question made him anxious again.
"So who is your favorite person?" Dr. Lin asked gently.
This time, Su Qianqian answered without hesitation, even with a hint of pride, softly and affirmatively: "Of course it's Su Su's power bank~"
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but chuckle softly, turning his head to raise an eyebrow at Zhou Yu'an, and said smugly in a whisper:
"Did you hear that? SuSu power bank, that's me."
"Isn't the nickname the little girl chose cute?"
Zhou Yu'an frowned slightly, his intuition telling him that this title was not so simple.
