Fu Xingzhou responded, and the air fell silent again.
Li Susu's eyes darted around, and she seemed glued to the chair, unwilling to leave.
"I misunderstood you about the Bai family's affairs."
Li Susu's words were somewhat unclear, but Fu Xingzhou's eyes flickered, and he quickly understood.
"Well, it's getting late, I'll be going now."
"Take good care of yourself and get well soon."
Li Susu finally got up and left, her back view showing a hint of panic.
Fu Xingzhou didn't try to stop him again, and his smile deepened.
After Li Susu left, the housekeeper entered the room and brought medicine to Fu Xingzhou.
Looking at the empty bowl on the table, I felt very gratified.
"Mr. Fu, you've finally started eating. It seems that Miss Li is the cure for you."
After making a couple of jokes, the butler received a glare from Fu Xingzhou.
He coughed twice and picked up the tray.
"Mr. Fu, please get some rest."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
The room quieted down, but Fu Xingzhou could still smell Li Susu's unique scent in the air.
Tonight, she wore a fiery red dress and had roses in her hair; she was as beautiful and radiant as a flower.
But she herself was completely unaware of it.
At tonight's banquet, she will likely be a unique presence once again.
Fu Xingzhou slowly lay down and fell asleep contentedly.
When Li Susu got home, she realized that her cheeks were bright red.
She pinched her cheek and cursed herself for being so shameful.
"I hope Fu Xingzhou won't overthink it? I really only went to express my gratitude!"
"He's a patient, I can't just stand by and do nothing, can I?"
Li Susu muttered to herself, seemingly trying to comfort herself.
She took the rose from her hair and placed it in the bathtub, letting it retain its warmth.
The bathroom was filled with steam as Li Susu, wearing a face mask, enjoyed the quiet evening.
For some reason, a strange smile keeps appearing on my lips.
Compared to the couple's comfortable situation, Bai Weiwei's situation after returning home was not so pleasant.
Bai Mian watched as his daughter was sent back to the Bai residence by Yu Xin's people, and after learning the reason, he was already on the verge of exploding with rage.
"Idiot! How could you cause trouble at Yu Xin's dinner party?"
"Isn't the Bai family already humiliated enough this time?"
Bai Weiwei leaned back on the sofa, still feeling quite uncomfortable.
This medicine has a strong aftereffect; although it relieves the effects of alcohol, it leaves one feeling weak all over and with a splitting headache.
"Dad, let me explain, it's not what you think..."
"What else do you have to say for yourself? No matter what it is, you made a fool of yourself at the banquet, got drunk and acted crazy. How could you even think of such a thing!"
"Bai Weiwei, you are the only daughter of the Bai family. How can you become a laughing stock in City C?"
Bai Weiwei bit her lip, her face turning even paler.
Did she want things to turn out this way?
"It's all that bitch Li Susu's fault! Mingxing Zhou had already agreed to this project, but I never expected that she would snatch it away!"
Bai Mian snorted coldly, "How can you be so sure that Fu Xingzhou only agreed to your request?"
Bai Weiwei's body trembled, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"Could it be... that Xingzhou also agreed to that bitch Li Susu's proposal?"
"Impossible! It must have been Li Susu who seduced Xingzhou to get him to agree!"
Even now, she's still trying to salvage things for Fu Xingzhou.
