Although it was she who was asking, Gu Ming turned to Fu Yi and said again, âMr. Fu, rest assured, thereâs no problem. As long as Mr. Li is buckled up, weâll be at the hospital soon.â
It was a joke, everyone knew Miss Shenâs feelings for the BOSS, and now that the BOSS had someone he liked, he, as the personal assistant, obviously needed to be observant.
âMr. Li just had a bit too much to drink, sitting in the front, he can open the window and get some air to sober up.â
This reason was bulletproof.
Fu Yi turned his head and glanced at Shen Siyuan, then made a decision, âLet Shengxiao sit in the front then. Siyuan, do you want to ride in my car instead?â
Repeatedly rejected, even a fool could see the precautions they were taking against her. Biting her lip resentfully, Shen Siyuan preserved her final shred of dignity, âOkay, that will be fine.â
Gu Ming sighed in relief, and with the help of Fu Yi, he helped the slightly inebriated man lean against the passenger seat and closed the car door.
âThen Mr. Fu, Iâll head there first.â
âAlright, Iâll follow behind your car.â
âYes, okay.â
After exchanging greetings with him, Gu Ming walked around to the other side of the car, got in, and the Lincoln smoothly drove off towards the hospitalâ¦
Watching the car drive away, Fu Yi was the first to look away and glanced at her, pretending not to see the regret and unwillingness that hadnât faded from her face. With a faint smile and a gentle voice, he said, âLetâs go, we should also head over.â
Shen Siyuan reluctantly looked away, clenching her fists tightly, and managed to force a smile when facing him, obediently saying, âOkay.â

Inside Dihor Garden, Rong Yan tossed and turned on the sofa with her phone, unlocking it time and again to see if there were any messages coming in.
Unfortunately, it was always the same â nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
Her brows furrowed, she had already guessed why the other party wasnât responding to her.
Li Shengxiao must be angry!
When her boyfriend was angry, Rong Yan knew what she was supposed to do. But given her personality, in situations where she sent messages and received no reply or acknowledgment, she would mostly act as if nothing happened, politely maintaining a non-intrusive stance, and stop showing attitude.
But this person was Li Shengxiao, he wasnât just anybody, and to her, he wasnât an ordinary person either.
Rong Yan still couldnât resist her genuine emotions within, angrily picking up the phone and redialing the numberâ
âBeep beepâ¦â
The call connected quickly.
No answer on the other side.
No answer meant no answer.
She was persistent, too. If the other side didnât pick up, she would continue to call. She kept redialing after the automatic hang-ups, again and againâ¦
Seven or eight calls went through, still making no impact like a rock sinking into the sea, without a single response.
Rong Yan had been rejected almost ten times now, her spirits drooping like a frostbitten eggplant, she fell back onto the sofa.
âDamn, heâs really not picking up.â
She hadnât encountered this situation before and had no idea how to deal when Li Shengxiao refused to communicate with her.
Gazing at her phone, Rong Yan saw only the previous messages in their conversation box. The message she sent later lay there alone, completely disregarded.
âSigh.â
Focused on that pitiful message of hers, she redialed the number once more.
She refused to believe that this man wasnât planning to take her call or pay her any attention for the entire night!
She had been a bit impulsive this time, not informing him in advance, but he couldnât just give her the silent treatment without a word.
