Xia Enruo focused intently on serving the soup noodles and feeding them to Gu Shaoxuan with a spoon and chopsticks. Afraid that he would choke, she deliberately cut the egg into small pieces.
A tender look filled Gu Shaoxuan's eyes as he gazed intently at Xia Enruo's face. The sunlight outside bathed her head, making her shimmer. Looking at her profile, he longed to reach out and gently brush away the stray hairs at her temples.
"Xia Enruo, I'm sorry."
Gu Shaoxuan whispered, his eyes red.
"Gu Shaoxuan, what's wrong with you again? Why are you apologizing to me today? This is the first time you've apologized to me."
Xia Enruo stared at him with curious eyes.
"Actually, Qiao Huizhen tricked me into drinking three large glasses of water before the IV drip today. I trusted her. I never imagined that Lao Ding would marry such a scheming woman, causing you to suffer today. I listened to her before and said many things I shouldn't have. I deserve to die."
Gu Shaoxuan looked at Xia Enruo with a face full of resentment, his dark eyebrows raised.
"Alright, I knew the nurse was involved in this as soon as she said it, but we can't do anything to her without evidence. Let the company handle it. Stop saying things like 'shouldn't die' in the future. With me here, I'll make sure you recover soon, but you have to listen to me."
Xia Enruo knew that even if she questioned Qiao Huizhen in front of everyone, Qiao Huizhen would just spout nonsense to exonerate herself. So she decided to speak up for her and provoke Ma Dandan. Only by fighting like dogs could the two of them be punished for their bad deeds.
She never expected that Qiao Huizhen would give Gu Shaoxuan so much water to drink. This woman was truly wicked. It was one thing for her to make sarcastic remarks before, but now she was actually plotting behind his back.
It's outrageous that a woman like this is being treated like a hot commodity in military families' compounds. If she falls into my hands again, I will definitely not let her off the hook and see how long she can remain so arrogant.
After feeding Gu Shaoxuan, she ate a bite of her own lunch. The noodles and soup had lost much of their flavor due to being left out for too long. It seemed that Gu Shaoxuan was sick and needed constant care, so the privately-made banquet had to be put on hold for the time being. After finishing the last table for Wu Meixia's comrade-in-arms, she couldn't accept any more banquets.
Fortunately, I turned down two tables in the past two days, otherwise breaking my promise would have ruined my reputation.
However, Gu Shaoxuan's recovery requires a lot of nutrition, which incurs high costs. Staying at home by herself is not a good solution. She doesn't want to become like Ge Qiuqin, having to ask a man for money. It's much more enjoyable to earn her own money and spend it freely. It seems she needs to find a business that offers the best of both worlds to tide her over for a while.
