Su Huan returned to her grandmother's hospital room. Seeing her complexion extremely pale, Su Peilan asked with concern, "What happened, girl? Why does your little face look so bad?" Su Huan shook her head, walked to her grandmother's bedside, sat down, took her hand, and started chatting with her with a smile. Su Peilan had a quick temper. Without waiting for them to talk for a few sentences, she stepped forward, grabbed Su Huan's wrist, and said, "Come out with me for a moment." They went to the corridor. Su Peilan stared into her eyes, "Did Gu Beixian bully you again?" "No." "Then who annoyed you? I'm your mother. If you have something to say, who else will you tell if not me?" Su Peilan was a bit anxious. Su Huan calmly said, "Gu Beixian's father came to see me." "Did Gu Aoting make things difficult for you?" "He asked us to divorce." Su Peilan sneered, "When Gu Beixian was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up, why didn't Gu Aoting force you to divorce? Now that Gu Beixian can run and jump, he starts to force you to divorce? Heartless and ungrateful thing! Breaking the bridge after crossing the river, killing the donkey after grinding the mill, executing the dog after the rabbit is dead, wolf's heart and dog's lungs!" Su Peilan cursed Gu Aoting thoroughly, and then asked, "What did Gu Beixian say?" "He said to have a child, and if I get pregnant, we won't divorce." Su Peilan angrily said, "Have a baby, my foot! With a shameless ex-girlfriend and a heartless father, even if you have a bunch of kids, they can still stir you two apart, and then the kids will be pitiful." Su Huan nodded, "I think so too." Su Peilan waved her hand impatiently, "Divorce, divorce, just divorce quickly! The sooner, the better!"

My daughter is young and beautiful, talented and attractive, and has a good temper. What kind of man can't she find after a divorce?" Su Huan's nose turned sour, and she leaned on her shoulder, crying. Tears kept flowing down. Sometimes crying is a way to vent, a release of emotions; it seems less sad once you've cried it out. Su Peilan gently patted her back, her throat dry, and said, "It's all my fault for being useless, letting you suffer. Our small family can't aspire to their kind of family." Just as Su Huan was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone from her pocket and looked at it. It was a call from Gu Beixian. She wiped her eyes, pressed to answer, and said, "Hello." Gu Beixian said, "Your cast will be removed tomorrow. I've made an appointment with Doctor Bai for you, at ten-thirty tomorrow morning. Don't forget." Su Huan replied politely yet distantly, "Thank you." Gu Beixian sensed something was off in her tone, paused for a moment, and asked, "What happened?" Su Huan pursed her lips and said, "I've been thinking of spending more time with my grandmother lately, so I won't be coming back tonight. I'll stay at my mother's house; it's closer to the hospital. Could you help pack up my medical card and some of my things, and send someone to bring them to me?" Gu Beixian was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll find time to send them to you." "Thank you." That evening, Gu Beixian brought Su Huan's hospital medical card and some necessities, and he also carried a bowl of pork rib soup. He handed the soup to Su Huan, saying, "I had Sister Liu stew it. Drink more soup; it helps the bones heal better." Su Huan took it, thanked him, and placed the soup on the table, saying awkwardly, "You should go back, the company is important."

Gu Beixian's brows furrowed imperceptibly, 'I'm off work.' 'Go back and rest well, so you can work well tomorrow.' Gu Beixian's dark and deep eyes quietly locked onto her, and he didn't speak for a long while. After he left, Su Huan opened the thermal bucket and divided the pork rib soup into three portions, sharing it with her grandmother and mother. The soup was very fresh, with cordyceps and goji berries added. Su Huan sipped it slowly. Su Peilan didn't drink a drop, staring at the bowl of soup and sighing heavily. The next day at ten in the morning. While Su Huan was waiting outside the radiology department to have an X-ray, Gu Beixian came again. Dressed in formal attire with a tie, looking rushed, holding a document in his hand, and on the phone one call after another, he obviously took the time out of his busy schedule. Su Huan waited for him to finish the call and said, 'You don't have to come if you're so busy, it's just removing a splint, I can do it myself.' Gu Beixian put his phone and documents into his briefcase and said indifferently, 'One must see things through to the end.' The word 'end' inexplicably tugged at Su Huan's heart. After the splint was removed, the doctor gave many precautions, including how to do rehabilitation exercises. Gu Beixian recorded it on his phone and sent it to Su Huan's phone after coming out. The two returned to their grandmother's ward. Shen Huai was checking their grandmother's health. Su Peilan stood by, chatting and laughing with him, and when she saw Gu Beixian coming over, she deliberately raised her voice and asked, 'Doctor Shen, do you have a girlfriend?' Shen Huai glanced at Su Huan and said, 'No.' Hearing this, Su Peilan became interested, 'What do you think of our little Huan? This child has been a good student since childhood, skipped several grades, and graduated from college at nineteen.'

"You're well-behaved, have a good temper, are hardworking, and you're skilled at restoring ancient paintings, which we all know." Shen Huai curved his lips, "Su Huan is indeed outstanding." Su Peilan glanced sideways at Gu Beixian and said to Shen Huai, "If you're interested in our little Huan, just boldly pursue her. Don't be fooled by her quiet appearance; she's actually very easy to talk to." Shen Huai straightened up, took off his mask, and looked towards Su Huan with a smile in his eyes, "Alright, I couldn't ask for more." Gu Beixian stood aside, his expression changed to an indescribable sternness, his lips curling up with a hint of mockery, watching Shen Huai and Su Peilan's duet with a cold detachment. Su Peilan's challenging gaze swept over him, and she said to Su Huan, "Little Huan, I think Dr. Shen is really quite good, handsome, good-tempered, and he's also the young head of your shop. You two should have a lot in common." Su Huan frowned and intervened, "Mom, please say less." "Why shouldn't I speak? Mountains don't turn, but waters do. It's hard to find a toad with three legs, but men with two legs are everywhere!"

Gu Beixian remained silent, slapping the medical record and the appointment card onto the table with a crisp sound before turning and walking away. Su Huan followed him out. Gu Beixian initially walked very fast. Su Huan had to jog to keep up. As they approached the elevator, he slowed his pace a bit, waiting for Su Huan intentionally or unintentionally. Inside the elevator, neither of them spoke. The elevator was crowded, with people pushing and shoving. Gu Beixian grabbed the fabric on Su Huan's shoulder and pulled her behind him, protecting her. Upon reaching the first floor, they silently exited the elevator. The cold spell in spring made the wind feel quite chilly upon blowing. Su Huan couldn't help but shiver. Gu Beixian unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand and draped it over her shoulders. Su Huan raised her hand to take it off. Gu Beixian pressed down on her shoulder, preventing her from removing it, and leaned down to button it up for her. His movements were a bit forceful while buttoning, his handsome face looking as gloomy as if it could squeeze out water. After finishing, he walked away. Su Huan quickened her steps and caught up. It wasn't until they reached the parking lot that he stopped, looking down at her from above and said coldly, 'Don't you want to go home to live, is it for the convenience of developing a relationship with Shen Huai?' Su Huan looked at him with a resentful gaze. It was a look of deep hurt. Gu Beixian paused for a moment, then apologized, 'I was a bit impulsive just now.' Su Huan pursed her lips and remained silent. Gu Beixian lowered his eyes to look at her, suppressing his emotions as he said, 'I think I have quite a bit in common with you too. As for that Shen guy, he's just so-so in appearance, far inferior to me. As for temperament, I may not be as good as him, but I've been very restrained in front of you this past year.'

Su Huan felt a sourness in her heart, unable to describe the taste. She slowly walked up to him, leaning her body against him, her face pressed to his chest, without reaching out to hug him. Just leaning there, looking very weak. Gu Beixian was slightly startled, and after a few seconds, he raised his hand and encircled her in his arms. Su Huan held back her tears and said softly, 'Go back and have someone prepare the divorce agreement. You did a property notarization before marriage, and you've already given me the settlement money, so preparing the divorce agreement should be simple.' Gu Beixian's gaze hardened, and the arm holding her suddenly tightened, almost making it hard for her to breathe. After a long time, he asked, 'Did my father come to see you?'
