Hospital.
In the VIP ward.
Suisui had fallen asleep, but her high fever hadn’t completely subsided yet.
This ans that when Gu Yuan received the call from Sheng Yi in Yanjing, learning that Suisui had a high fever and rushed back after several hours on the road, Suisui’s fever still hadn’t fully subsided.
This was a rather serious case, and Gu Yuan felt very guilty. There were too many things to attend to recently, and after finishing her work, she went to Yanjing, neglecting Suisui. She blad herself for not taking good care of Suisui.
"Yuanyuan, don’t think like that. Seeing you like this makes my heart ache too." Sheng Yi’s eyes were red; watching Yuanyuan bla herself made her feel even more guilty.
Before Yuanyuan left, she had specifically asked her to take care of Suisui, and yet...
Gu Yuan, physically and ntally exhausted, spoke weakly, "I’m fine, you’ve been worried all day, go get so rest. I’ll watch over Suisui."
"You’re the one who needs to rest." Sheng Yi sighed helplessly, "If only at this mont Suisui’s father were here, how great it would be. You’re so tired and still refuse to rest. I wish it could be like those fantasy dramas, where we could cast a spell to make you fall asleep instantly and then another to make Suisui recover imdiately, perfect in every way."
Gu Yuan: "..."
Don’t bother to imagine the rest.
But that sentence ’how great it would be if Suisui’s dad were here’ made Gu Yuan feel that perhaps it was okay to dream a little.
If only Chi Yu were by her side, she wouldn’t be this anxious and troubled.
However, there’s no more Chi Yu, only Quan Jin. Even if Quan Jin were by her side, it wouldn’t help.
Nightti.
Suisui’s temperature finally went down, and everything returned to normal.
Gu Yuan’s heart, which had been on edge all afternoon, finally cald a bit, although she was still tense. Half an hour ago, she had sent Sheng Yi ho to rest since she needed to start filming at six the next morning. Staying up too long would leave her too tired to work properly.
Sheng Yi didn’t want to leave, but she didn’t want to worry Yuanyuan any further either, as Yuanyuan was already very tired, so she obediently left.
"President Gu."
Dao An’s voice ca from the doorway.
Gu Yuan glanced over to see the breathless Dao An standing at the entrance with an insulated container in hand.
Gu Yuan nodded, "Co in."
Only then did Dao An enter.
The company had only recently returned to normalcy, but with Gu Yuan absent, all company matters fell on his shoulders. Dao An had been swamped and could only find ti now to visit the young girl at the hospital.
"Is Suisui feeling better?" Dao An asked softly.
"Yes, her temperature has dropped; she’s doing much better now."
"That’s good to hear." The tension and worry on Dao An’s face when he entered relaxed significantly upon hearing Gu Yuan’s words.
Gu Yuan gestured to a chair for Dao An to sit, but he busied himself first by taking the soup from the insulated container: "I had our housekeeper prepare this soup in advance for you, President Gu. It might taste a bit bland since I asked her to go easy on the salt."
Dao An poured a bowl and handed it to Gu Yuan, then placed the at, corn, and carrots from the soup in front of her and passed her so chopsticks.
Without drawing attention, Dao An discreetly returned one of the bowls, assuming Gu Yuan hadn’t noticed.
"So much," Gu Yuan smiled wryly.
Dao An replied, "It’s okay if you can’t finish it. Our new housekeeper is an excellent cook, and I’ve been wanting you to try her cooking for a while now. Finally got the chance."
Dao An’s intention was heartfelt.
Gu Yuan certainly appreciated this gesture.
The dinner planned by Sheng Yi for tonight hadn’t been very appealing to Gu Yuan, who was worried about Suisui and had little appetite, eating mostly what Sheng Yi had ordered.
Now that Suisui was better and sleeping peacefully, Gu Yuan finally relaxed a bit, and she found the appetite to eat sothing savory.
"The flavor is quite nice; her cooking skills are indeed excellent," Gu Yuan genuinely praised.
Dao An was naturally pleased to hear Gu Yuan complint the taste.
The soup was rich and flavorful, having simred a long ti with a milky broth and a mild saltiness just as Gu Yuan liked, gently catering to her palate.
She ate a good amount of the at, along with corn and carrots.
While eating, Gu Yuan didn’t forget to inquire about work matters: "Has the resort project been settled?"
Dao An responded with a reassuring look, "Yes, it’s settled."
"The resort project has been on hold for too long, and they had so many demands. It wasn’t an easy deal. I thought it was a lost cause and was ready to give up. Dao An, you’re amazing."
Always humble, Dao An replied, "It’s President Gu’s foresight that first recognized the potential for the resort’s developnt."
Having been honed at the Gu Family for many years, Dao An had long since beco capable of handling matters independently.
