The black dog had spotted them long ago and had been trying to shake them off the whole way.
If she hadn't intentionally hidden herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to find Qiu Yan by now.
Qin Susu lay sprawled on the ground, saying, "I want to sleep."
Now, even if the sky were to fall, she needs to rest.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoran heard Qin Susu's words.
Especially when he saw Qin Susu, he felt terrible.
They've chased us all the way here!
"If you want to sleep, go home and sleep. This is my home, don't even think about staying here."
"You child..." Qin Susu looked up, lifting her upper body from the ground, her face covered in dirt, and said unhappily:
“Yu’er, I am here on your father’s orders to protect your mother and you, little one. How can you speak to me like that?”
"Father?"
Upon hearing the word "father," Gu Xiaoran's stern face softened slightly.
He rushed towards Qin Susu like a gust of wind.
"You know my father?"
Qin Susu nodded and said, "Of course I know him."
Gu Xiaoran: "Then tell me, what is my father's name, and where is he now?"
"You little brat, you don't trust me, do you? Let me tell you, your father's surname is Gu, his given name is Qian, and he's currently in the military."
As Qin Susu spoke, Qiu Yan listened intently.
She pressed further, "Is he alright now?"
Qin Susu raised her lips slightly and teased playfully:
"Okay, he's doing well, it's just that he's lost weight from missing you so much, he can't eat or sleep properly, he wants to see you but he can't... Sigh, that's why he's sent the famous Qin Susu to protect you. Qiu Yan, you really are a role model for us women. You're so lucky to have General Gu care about you so much..."
"Stop talking!" Before Qiu Yan could stop her, Bai Lu interrupted Qin Susu. "I think you just admire Gu Qian. Since he's so good, why don't you marry him?"
"This...how could this be? Sister heroine, I never expected you to say such a thing."
Qin Susu genuinely envied Qiu Yan. She had liked Gu Qian since childhood and wanted to fight alongside him on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, General Gu didn't think much of her.
Bai Lu: "Impossible. You've been praising him to the skies the whole way." Is he really that good? Bai Lu scoffed.
Qin Susu: "That was worship, worship, you understand?"
Bai Lu: "Really? Can you guarantee that you don't have any feelings for him at all?"
Qin Susu: "Bai Lu! You're trying to sow discord!"
Bai Lu: "Think what you want!"
Qiu Yan was in a real bind.
When these two are together, they're either fighting or arguing.
She turned around, took Gu Xiaoran and Qiu Ling'er's hands on either side, and prepared to return to the courtyard.
Bai Lu stopped arguing, stepped forward slowly, hesitated for a moment, and only said two words, "Master."
Qiu Yan stopped and turned her back, saying:
"Bai Lu, you know I am not your master. We are from two different worlds. You should leave."
If you didn't know better, you'd think she and He Lin were siblings.
"Sister, Sister Bailu..." So pitiful. Qiu Ling'er wanted to comfort her, but she knew this was her sister's own business.
The kind-hearted Qiu Ling'er felt sympathy for everyone she met.
Qin Susu's chin was slightly open, eager to know what exactly was going on between Qiu Yan and Bai Lu.
"..." Bai Lu shook her head, unsure how to respond.
Seeing that Qiu Yan had already been admitted to the hospital, she called out softly, "Qiu Yan!"
Qiu Yan stood there stunned, then turned around. Just then, she heard a muffled groan and saw Bai Lu curled up on the ground.
