Su Li's beautiful eyes flickered, she gently brushed her hand away, and turned her back to her.
"Go to sleep now."
"Wait, I didn't see you sleeping at all. What are you thinking about?"
Meng Sangsang patted her on the back, "Tell me quickly, what's bothering you?"
"No."
"That's not right. Such a big thing happened today. You almost died. You must have some thoughts about it."
"Meng Sangsang, time for bed!"
"I won't sleep with you. At least you have to tell me what's going on between you and Master Quan."
Su Li jumped up and stared at Meng Sangsang, saying, "What relationship could I possibly have with him? Don't talk nonsense."
"Hmph, I heard it all. Bart said that last time Master Quan punished him because of you, he directly pried off his manhood. Master Quan was just getting revenge for you. This time, Master Quan even risked his life to save you and got shot. The noble and invincible, respected Master Quan is injured. If this news gets out of Haicheng, you will be the sinner of the entire Haicheng."
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a minor injury."
Meng Sangsang bent one leg and said casually, "The key is that Master Quan can be so selfless for a woman. This kind of spirit is worth pondering. When has he ever cared about any woman like this, except for you?"
Su Li remained silent.
"Oh, I should have thought of that sooner. You've been by Master Quan's side for so many years. If he didn't have any other feelings for you, he would have kicked you out long ago."
"You're the one who kicked it, go to sleep and stop gossiping."
Su Li lay down and pulled the blanket over her head.
Meng Sangsang pulled at her blanket, "Don't dodge my questions. I can't be sure how Master Quan feels about you, but what about you? Do you like him? I used to think Master Quan was cold and ruthless, but now I have a different opinion of him. His heroic spirit in rescuing a damsel in distress is commendable."
She didn't speak, and tightly covered herself with the blanket.
Meng Sangsang got bored after asking without receiving a response. She shrugged and lay back down. "Fine, you two will figure this out sooner or later. I'm going to sleep."
Su Li lay with her back to her, her mind racing with thoughts, showing no signs of sleepiness.

After the incident involving Bart was resolved, both Quan and Fu groups quickly developed solutions to address the warehouse bombing, mitigating further losses in the short term and bringing everything back to normal.
Due to this incident, Quan Ye was forced to change his itinerary and stay in Yucheng for an extra half month.
For several days in a row, Quan Ye ignored Su Li, and Fu Zelian also dismissed her from all her positions at Huaxing Real Estate, leaving her unemployed.
"Ah Li, I've noticed you've been cooped up in the house these past few days. Shall I take you out for a walk?"
Xiao Yu came to find Su Li and saw her sitting by the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.
She turned back and said, "No, you're so busy with work, you shouldn't keep me company."
"It's okay, your mood is important too."
Seeing that she still looked off, Xiao Yu stepped forward and asked, "Have you had some kind of conflict with Master Quan recently?"
"No."
"Then why do you look so gloomy?"
"It's so hot and stuffy."
"You said you'd come, so why did you come to see me? I was playing cards perfectly fine, and you had to call me out like that." Meng Sangsang strode in from outside the door, looking impatient.
Qin Xuan followed behind her.
"You think I want to care about you? I heard you were kidnapped and injured, but you're so lively and energetic, you don't look like a patient at all."
"You're just hoping something will happen to me so you can break off the engagement, aren't you?"
"Why are you speaking such obvious truths?"
Meng Sangsang snorted a few times and plopped down next to Su Li.
Qin Xuan put his hands in his pockets, looked at Su Li, and smiled slightly.
Su Li asked, "Young Master Qin, what brings you here?"
