But Ye Lichuan didn't care about the price of the restaurant at all. He was willing to do anything to make Gu Anran happy. What did spending a little money matter?
Gu Xiaotian is currently at an age where he is curious about everything. He stared at the restaurant with wide eyes, full of curiosity.
They sat down at their pre-reserved seats, and Gu Xiaotian said mischievously, "I saw you were on TV today."
Gu Anran was amused by Gu Xiaotian's quirky antics. She smiled, patted Gu Xiaotian's head, and said, "Yeah, do you want to be on TV?"
Gu Xiaotian replied abruptly, "Yes."
Gu Anran continued, "In that case, you must study hard. Only outstanding people can appear on TV and let everyone see your talent. You must be more outstanding than us."
Gu Xiaotian nodded as if he understood, and said, "Okay, I will definitely study hard and become an outstanding person so that you can be proud of me."
She smiled brightly at Gu Xiaotian with relief and said, "Mom believes in you."
Ye Lichuan stood to the side holding the menu, looking at it and flipping through the pages one by one. He was very serious about everything he did.
He carefully selected several dishes that Gu Anran liked, and then ordered from the waiter. Soon after, the waiter brought the dishes that Ye Lichuan had ordered to the table.
The table was laden with a variety of delicious dishes, so tempting that they looked incredibly tempting. Once all the dishes had been served, Ye Lichuan used his utensils to place a dish into Gu Anran's bowl, saying, "Try it, this is the best restaurant I've found around here."
Gu Anran wasn't picky about food. She picked up her fork, took a bite of the food in her bowl, and after savoring it, gave it a thumbs up and said, "Super delicious, no wonder it's a high-end restaurant."
As long as Gu Anran is happy, Ye Lichuan will be content. He smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it." Then he put a few more dishes into Gu Anran's bowl.
Gu Anran was enjoying the delicious food on the table when she felt something was missing. She then realized there were no napkins on the table, so she got up from her chair and said, "I'll go to the counter to get some napkins."
For Gu Anran, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, not having tissues is simply unbearable.
Ye Lichuan nodded, indicating that she could go, and said calmly, "Okay."
Gu Anran had just left her seat and was walking towards the counter when she was suddenly bumped into by a clumsy waiter.
The waiter, still holding a tray, repeatedly apologized to Gu Anran: "I'm so sorry, Miss, it was so careless of me. Are you alright?"
Gu Anran was suddenly bumped by a waiter, but fortunately, it was only a light bump on her shoulder, and she didn't fall. She wasn't one to make a fuss, so she waved her hand and generously forgave the waiter, saying, "It's okay, just be careful next time."
The waiter nodded politely to her and then went back to his work.
Gu Anran laughed off the waiter's carelessness, but she didn't expect that the waiter had lost his balance and caused the oil in his plate to splatter onto the ground.
She didn't notice the oil stain on the ground. She stepped on it, slipped, and fell sideways, landing on her arms. She screamed, "Ah!"
Hearing Gu Anran's scream and a loud bang ahead, Ye Lichuan knew that something must have happened to her. He rushed to her side and found her lying on the ground in a disheveled state.
Gu Anran fell hard. She felt a sharp pain in her arm, and it felt numb. The pain was so intense that she couldn't lift it at all. She gripped her arm with her other hand and cried out, "Ouch, that hurts!"
Ye Lichuan quickly squatted down and picked Gu Anran up in his arms. Seeing the oil stains on the ground, he asked worriedly, "Gu Anran, where did you fall?"
Gu Anran frowned in pain and said, "My hand, my arm hurts a lot."
Ye Lichuan looked at Gu Anran's arm and found that she couldn't lift it, indicating that she had injured her bones.
He originally wanted to confront the restaurant manager, but seeing Gu Anran's pained expression, he decided that at this critical moment, it was best to take her to the hospital first.
He turned around and carried Gu Anran back to the dining table, then called Gu Xiaotian to leave the restaurant, saying, "Don't eat yet, come with me."
Gu Xiaotian was very sensible. When he saw Gu Anran being held by Ye Lichuan, he knew something was wrong. Without saying a word, he put down the delicious food on the table and followed Ye Lichuan happily.
Ye Lichuan hailed a taxi at the restaurant entrance and arrived at a nearby hospital.
The hospital took an X-ray of Gu Anran's arm and finally diagnosed it as a fracture. The doctor put a cast on her arm and wrapped it with thick gauze.
Gu Anran's broken arm has been treated. She sits on the hospital bed, but still looks worried and shows no joy.
A flicker of heartache crossed Ye Lichuan's eyes. He went to her side and asked, "Are you still in pain?"
Gu Anran's injury no longer hurts, but because of the fracture, she can't participate in the next exhibition. She feels regretful that she missed the exhibition and can only watch it on TV.
During her stay in the hospital for several days, in addition to resting, Gu Anran handled some work-related matters every day.
Lying in her hospital bed, she opened her laptop and was processing some emails from designers.
The morning was peaceful until Gu Anran saw the designer's appreciation and admiration for her, and she suddenly felt a little sad.
If Lin Xinrou hadn't taken her work for her own use, she wouldn't have regretfully missed the opportunity to become an apprentice.
"I was so stupid before..."
Gu Anran shook her head and smiled bitterly, then closed her email and fell into deep thought.
She was once completely used as a pawn by Lin Xinrou; otherwise, her career development would be entirely different now.
Opening the folder containing her long-saved original artwork, Gu Anran gazed at each drawing, each a testament to her tireless efforts and sleepless nights.
She frowned, muttering to herself with resentment, "It's time to expose your shameful deeds!"
Gu Anran felt indignant at the thought of Lin Xinrou's actions.
She's currently recovering in the hospital, which means she has more time to gather evidence that Lin Xinrou plagiarized the design draft.
It's time to reclaim the honors and achievements that rightfully belong to us!
Gu Anran made a silent vow in her heart, her resolute gaze filled with stubbornness and confidence.
She then compiled all of Lin Xinrou's published works online, preparing to compare them with her own original works.
While I was focused, the nurse walked into the ward carrying a tray of medicine.
