When Lin Cong woke up, he found that Su Qian had finished the infusion.

She stood up in a panic, "Ah, President Su, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

Lin Cong bumped into the table when he stood up because he had just woken up.

"Be careful!" As soon as Su Qian said this, he heard a "clang" sound.

"Hiss—" Lin Cong covered his legs.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Cong shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su."

"Let's go back."

"how are you feeling?"

"Nothing's wrong."

Lin Cong touched Su Qian's forehead again and found that it was no longer hot.

Although Su Qian didn't show anything on the surface, his heartbeat quickened. He had to divert his attention.

"We're leaving for City C tomorrow afternoon. I've asked Assistant Xiao Yang to book the plane ticket."

"Okay, I will prepare in advance."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat?"

Lin Cong looked at the time and it was indeed time for dinner.

"it is good."

Lin Cong thought that Su Qian was still sick, so he suggested eating something light.

So, the two of them found a porridge shop nearby. After sitting down in the porridge shop, Lin Cong saw the message from Assistant Xiao Yang.

Fearing that Xia Ruohan might misunderstand her, she immediately called her, but Xia Ruohan didn't answer.

"What's wrong?" Su Qian could see that Lin Cong seemed to be worried.

"Assistant Xiao Yang said Hanhan seems to have come to the hospital."

"I didn't see her."

"Okay then, I'll talk to Hanhan later."

Lin Cong ate absentmindedly during the meal. She was worried that Xia Ruohan had come to the hospital and misunderstood something. She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to tell Xia Ruohan about Su Qian's illness.

After dinner, Lin Cong returned home and called Xia Ruohan again.

"Congcong, what's wrong? I was busy and didn't answer your call just now."

"Hanhan, Su Qian had a fever today. I sent him to the hospital. I was so anxious that I forgot to call you."

"I know. Assistant Xiao Yang told me."

"Ah? Have you been to the hospital?"

"No, I'm relieved that you're here. And I called Su Qian, and he said nothing's wrong."

"He's had an IV drip and now he's fever-free."

"Thank you, Congcong."

"Hanhan..."

"I won't talk to you for now, I have things to do."

Before Lin Cong finished speaking, Xia Ruohan hung up the phone.

Lin Cong felt relieved that Xia Ruohan did not misunderstand anything.

In the bar, Xia Ruohan sat opposite a man named Chai Qing.

When Lin Cong called for the first time, Xia Ruohan slammed the phone down on the table.

"Don't answer it?" Chai Qing asked Xia Ruohan in confusion.

"I don't want to answer it. I just want to drink."

Chai Qing could be called Xia Ruohan's drinking buddy. During college, whenever Xia Ruohan and Su Qian had a disagreement, he would go to Chai Qing to complain. Over time, Chai Qing practically became Xia Ruohan's go-to person.

After marrying Su Qian, Xia Ruohan would come to Chai Qing to drink when she was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? Who made our young lady unhappy again?"

"Prefer not to say."

"Okay, then let's not talk about it. Let's drink."

As he spoke, Chai Qing poured the wine.

After a few drinks, Xia Ruohan's eyes began to blur.

"Chai Qing, do I look good?"

Chai Qing looked at Xia Ruohan with a smile on his face, "Of course it looks good, you are the prettiest."

"You have good taste. Unlike Su Qian, who only likes some country bumpkins."

Chai Qing smiled helplessly. He knew everything about Xia Ruohan. Every time he saw Xia Ruohan drinking to numb herself, he felt very distressed.

"Okay, drink less."

"Chai Qing, you said you like me a hundred times."

"You're drunk again, Hanhan."

"No, I'm not drunk."

"Alright, alright, go take a break."

Xia Ruohan poured another glass of wine and shook it. Under the colorful lights, the wine looked like a bone-eating poison.

"After drinking this cup, go and rest."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

When Su Qian returned home, Xia Ruohan was not at home.

"Dad!" Xiaoyou ran out crying.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyou, why are you crying?"

"Dad, do you and Mommy no longer want Xiaoyou?"

"How could that be? We all love Xiaoyou so much, how could we bear to leave you behind?"

"But you all don't care about Xiaoyou anymore."

"Be good, we're just too busy."

Su Qian comforted her for a long time, and Xiaoyou finally became happy. Su Qian couldn't help but reflect on himself, thinking that he had indeed spent too little time with Xiaoyou recently.

"Sir, it's time for Xiaoyou to go to bed." Auntie came over and said to Su Qian.

It was already past nine o'clock, and Xia Ruohan had not returned yet.

"Miss, have you been coming home late lately?"

"Well, the young lady has indeed been coming back late recently."

"okay, I get it."

Auntie wanted to take Xiaoyou upstairs, but Xiaoyou held Su Qian's arm and refused to let go.

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll get Xiaoyou to sleep today."

Su Qian carried Xiaoyou into the room, gently placed Xiaoyou on the bed, and then dimmed the lights.

"What story do you want to hear, Xiaoyou?"

"I want to hear the story of Little Red Riding Hood."

"no problem."

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little girl."

"Is she as beautiful as me?" Xiaoyou asked in a baby voice.

"I guess not as pretty as you."

After hearing Su Qian's words, Xiaoyou giggled.

Su Qian continued, "Everyone who saw this little girl liked her, but the one who loved her the most was her grandmother. Her grandmother gave her a red hat. The little girl loved it very much and wore it every day, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood..."

As she was talking, Xiaoyou fell asleep sweetly.

Su Qian covered Xiaoyou with a blanket and tiptoed out of the room.

Arriving at the study, Su Qian called Xia Ruohan.

"Why did you call me today?" Xia Ruohan's voice sounded a little tired.

"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. Please make arrangements and try to go home to spend time with Xiaoyou."

"Just to say this?"

"No matter what happened between us, Xiaoyou is innocent."

"That's my daughter. I won't treat her badly."

"As long as you know."

After saying that, Su Qian hung up the phone.

Su Qian felt guilty towards Xiaoyou because he couldn't create a loving environment for her. He was worried about her lack of security. He was willing to cooperate wholeheartedly with Xiaoyou, hoping she would have a happy childhood.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruohan sat up on the bed.

In fact, she has always known that the only one who can attract Su Qian's interest is Xiaoyou.

At this time, Chai Qing pushed the door open and walked in. "You're awake."

"Well, I have to go home."

"Do you need me to send you off?"

"No, I can go back by myself."

When Xia Ruohan walked out, many people greeted her.

Everyone calls Xia Ruohan "Boss Xia." These people don't know Xia Ruohan's true identity.

The bar was opened by Xia Ruohan, and Chai Qing is responsible for its daily operation and management.

This is not only Xia Ruohan’s bar, but also Xia Ruohan’s secret base.
