Su Huan stepped out of the door. She got into the car, sat down, and buckled the seatbelt. After not seeing him for a few days, Gu Beixian seemed to have lost some weight, his already deep contours becoming even more sharply defined, his eyebrows and eyes so handsome that one couldn't look away. Su Huan realized that she still loved him very much, completely unable to forget. ŴŴŴ. "Here, a welcome-to-work gift," Gu Beixian handed over an exquisite dark blue velvet jewelry box. Su Huan took it, opened it, and inside was a "Weng Zhong" carved from mutton-fat white jade. Weng Zhong has been a famous jade carving for warding off evil since ancient times. The jade carving stood in a long robe, with only simple lines used to depict the facial features and attire, the carving technique was concise, bold and powerful. The jade was warm, elegant, and crystal clear, a top-grade among jades. Holding the jewelry box, Su Huan turned her head to look at him, her smile faint, "Why did you give me such an expensive gift?" Gu Beixian smiled lightly, gazing into her eyes, "You restore ancient paintings and calligraphy, inevitably coming into contact with things from ancient tombs, it's good to wear something to ward off evil. Here, let me help you put it on." He picked up the jade carving and put it around Su Huan's neck. As his fingers gathered her hair, his fingertips inadvertently brushed against her neck. The touch was cool and penetrating, causing a very light shiver on Su Huan's skin, and her heart trembled along with it. She had always been sensitive to his touch. Thinking of their current relationship, Su Huan felt a sourness in her heart, and forced a smile, saying, "Don't give me things like this in the future." It was easy to misunderstand, to think that he still had feelings for her, she would be unable to stop herself from thinking too much, even craving more. With his slender fingers resting on the steering wheel, Gu Beixian said nonchalantly, "It's just a small jade carving, don't take it to heart."

He started the car. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Gu family's old house. As soon as she entered the house, the white-haired Grandma Gu tottered forward and hugged Su Huan tightly, "Oh my, my precious granddaughter-in-law, I've missed you so much these past few days!" Su Huan always felt that Grandma's behavior today was a bit exaggerated. Normally, she carried herself with nobility and dignity. Su Huan smiled and asked, "Grandma, is there anything important you wanted to see me about?" The old lady took her hand, glanced at Gu Beixian, and said, "Let's eat first, we'll talk after the meal." The meal was prepared very lavishly, with a table full of delicacies. Grandma kept serving Su Huan dishes, looking at her with a beaming smile, "Three years ago, I was choosing a wife for Beixian all over the city. So many girls' photos were handed to me, but I spotted you at first glance. You have clear eyebrows and bright eyes, with pendant pearls on your ears, a face that brings good fortune to her husband. Sure enough, after Beixian married you, his leg got better just two years later, and the company has been thriving." Suddenly, Grandma covered her mouth and started coughing violently. Su Huan hurriedly patted her back gently. After coughing, Grandma grabbed her hand, "You really are flawless, my child, gentle and quiet, hardworking, and full of love and righteousness. During those two years when Beixian couldn't stand on his legs, he was extremely irritable, and many caregivers and servants couldn't stand it and left, only you stayed by his side. If it weren't for you accompanying him through the tough times, he might have been ruined for life."

Having said that, tears streamed down her cheeks. Su Huan hurriedly handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. Gu Beixian's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, his eyes deep and thoughtful. The old lady glanced at him and said breathlessly, 'Grandma only has one wish now, that is for you and Beixian to be well and to give me a big, fat grandson soon.' Su Huan awkwardly looked at Gu Beixian. It seemed he hadn't told grandma about their plans to divorce. The old lady's voice grew weaker: 'I'm of such an old age, I might pass away any day now. If I can see your child born before I die, I'll rest in peace.' Su Huan's nose turned sour, and she quickly said, 'Grandma, you will definitely live to be a hundred.' 'I know my own body best, just an old skeleton of eighty years,' the old lady said, clutching her chest and struggling to stand up, 'I'm not feeling well in my chest, I'll go lie down for a while.' Su Huan hurriedly helped her to the bedroom. As they were about to reach the bedroom door. The old lady suddenly turned back and said to Gu Beixian, 'From tonight on, you two will stay here. Once Huan gets pregnant, you can move back.' Gu Beixian was about to speak when the old lady, hunched over and shuffling, moved into the bedroom. Su Huan carefully supported her, afraid that too much force would cause her more pain. After lying down on the bed, the old lady took her hand and said softly, 'I know about you moving back to your parents' home. Don't worry, with me here, this marriage won't end, Beixian is filial, he listens to me.' 'But...' 'There's no buts. That Chu Suosuo can only share the sweetness, not the bitterness. Such a heartless and ungrateful person does not deserve to enter our Gu family's door.'

Su Huan paused and said, 'Grandma, shall we call a doctor to come and take a look?' 'No need, I'm old and full of ailments; even if the doctor comes, it's useless. You go and eat quickly, and help me close the door.' 'Okay, then you rest well.' As soon as Su Huan left, the old lady sat up in bed, full of energy, a stark contrast to her previous weak state. Su Huan returned to the dining table. Old Master Gu gave her a lamb leg, 'Xiao Su, eat it while it's hot.' 'Thank you, Grandpa.' Su Huan put on a disposable glove and slowly nibbled at it. Gu Beixian looked up at the old master, 'Grandpa, last time I saw Grandma she was still quite strong, how did she become so weak in such a short time?' The old master sighed heavily, 'It's just the age. Maybe one second she's full of vigor, and the next she's at peace with the earth. You two must take good care of yourselves and definitely don't upset her.' Gu Beixian's handsome face became solemn. After dinner, the two returned to the guest room. Once the door was closed, Su Huan asked, 'What should we do? Do we really have to stay here forever?' Gu Beixian's brows furrowed, and he loosened his tie with a hand, 'Grandma's health is such that she can't handle stress. Let's stay for a few days and see how things go.' Su Huan turned her head to look at the bed behind her, 'There's only one bed, how are we supposed to sleep?' Gu Beixian's thin lips curled slightly, 'Sleep with your eyes closed.' Su Huan became a bit anxious, 'I'm not joking with you, I'm serious.' Gu Beixian methodically removed the watch from his wrist and casually threw it onto the bedside table, saying, 'You go take a shower first, I'll shower after you.' 'Okay.'

Su Huan went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, then quickly took a shower. When she came back, it was Gu Beixian's turn to wash up. Lying in bed, she couldn't sleep, her mind whirling with thoughts. They were about to get a divorce, yet they were still sleeping in the same bed—what was the meaning of this? Suddenly, the phone on Gu Beixian's bedside table rang. Su Huan didn't like to intrude on his privacy, so she let it ring. After two rings, it stopped. Not long after, her own phone rang. Su Huan glanced at the caller ID; it was an unfamiliar number. She answered, and a coquettish female voice came through: 'Sister Su Huan, is Brother Beixian with you?' 'May I ask who is calling?' The woman paused for a second and said, 'I'm his sister.' Su Huan thought it might be one of Gu Beixian's cousins, so she replied, 'He's in the shower, I'll have him call you back when he's out.' 'Okay, thank you.' After getting out of the shower, Gu Beixian was naked except for a towel wrapped around his waist, drying his hair with another towel in his hand. His broad shoulders and long legs were extremely well-proportioned. His abs were clearly defined, strong and muscular, with beautiful lines, exuding a breathtaking charm under the orange light. Su Huan's heart pounded, and her ears turned red as if they had been scorched by a flame. She turned her head away to avoid looking, and said softly, 'Your sister just called, you should call her back.' Gu Beixian grunted noncommittally, walked to the bedside table, picked up his phone, looked at it, and then walked out. When he came back, his handsome face was as dark as if it could squeeze out water, and he asked coldly, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Su Huan was taken aback, 'What?' 'Suǒsuǒ committed suicide, what did you say to her?'

A thunderous roar went off in her mind! A few seconds later, Su Huan finally found her voice: 'I didn't know she was Chu Suosuo. She said she was your sister, and I thought she was some cousin of yours, so I told her you were taking a shower.' Gu Beixian's face remained cold and expressionless as he opened the closet door, took out some clothes, and began to get dressed. After getting dressed, he strode out with his long legs. Hearing the noise, Old Master Gu came out and asked, 'Where are you going in the middle of the night?' Gu Beixian said in a deep voice, 'I have something to do outside.' 'What is it?' 'Suosuo is hospitalized. I'm going to see her.' The old master raised his voice and said to Su Huan in the guest bedroom, 'Xiao Su, you go with him.' The old master was decisive and resolute. Su Huan didn't want to defy him, so she replied, 'Okay, Grandpa.' After getting dressed, she left with Gu Beixian. The car passed through an intersection. Su Huan said, 'Just drop me off at any hotel.' Gu Beixian, holding the steering wheel and not looking sideways, said, 'Let's go together. You explain it to Suosuo.' Su Huan felt a severe blockage in her chest. Although she was calm and uncompetitive by nature, she had her own bottom line. It wasn't her fault at all, so what was there to explain? Sensing her displeasure, Gu Beixian freed one hand, rubbed her hair, and said softly, 'Suosuo has severe depression. I'm begging you.' An hour later. The two arrived at Chu Suosuo's ward. She had just finished stomach pumping, lying on the hospital bed, her complexion extremely pale, her hair messy, and her figure under the blanket thin and frail. Upon seeing her face clearly, Su Huan was shocked!
