The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Xing Yanzhao fed Luo Huai a strawberry and asked her, "Pei Youyou, what do you plan to do? I have a few options here, you can choose one."

"One option is to go through legal procedures to get her in. The charges aren't serious enough, and with the Pei family's power, she won't be out for long."

"The other is a business tactic, with Chaoye Technology and the Xing family joining forces." The rest is self-explanatory; Luo Huai could tell from his eyes that Brother Zhao wouldn't rest until he brought down the Pei family.

Luo Huai pursed her lips, seemingly considering something, and then picked up a bright red strawberry with her slender white fingers and placed it to Xing Yanzhao's lips.

Xing Yanzhao ate the whole thing in one gulp.

“Then use some legitimate business methods,” Luo Huai said softly. “A child can’t be without a father.”

This is a choice that has been made.

Xing Yanzhao grunted in agreement, and after a moment said, "Even if Pei Yuanzhou finds you and you give in, I still won't agree to this decision you yourself agreed to."

There was a faint sour smell in the air.

Luo Huai couldn't help but chuckle.

The two sat there chatting about the child's name until Zhu Shuangshuang and Lao Shen came back in, and then they started talking about other things.

Zhu Shuangshuang said, "Luo Huai, you're still sick. I'll go visit Guo Hui on your behalf, and your second brother will go visit your husband on your behalf."

Old Shen also thought it was feasible.

Anything is possible as long as I'm with Zhu Shuangshuang.

In the afternoon, the two took on the important task of visiting the sick, bringing a lot of tonics and fruit baskets. Old Shen, a smooth and worldly man, went in with a smile, but when he saw that Guo Hui looked a little disappointed when she saw them, he immediately explained.

“Your sister-in-law is still bedridden. Brother Zhao’s company has run into some trouble recently and he’s been extremely busy. He could only ask us to come and see you first. Once things are settled, your sister-in-law will definitely come to thank you in person, and Brother Zhao will definitely come to see you in person.”

Zhu Shuangshuang nodded in agreement and thanked Guo Hui earnestly.

Guo Hui smiled and suddenly said that her mouth was a little dry. Old Shen immediately went to pour her some water. She also wanted to eat some fruit, and Zhu Shuangshuang peeled some for her without saying a word.

Is this the same Zhu Shuangshuang who stung her with just a few words the last time they met?

It's rare.

The two seemed to be there to repay a debt of gratitude on behalf of someone else. She didn't need anyone to do it for her; she didn't believe they couldn't be driven away by their persistence.

Guo Hui would feel the urge to use the restroom, or her hands would feel cold, or the IV drip would be running too fast... These weren't major, difficult issues, but they were trivial enough to be bothersome.

Zhu Shuangshuang was not very patient, but when she thought of Luo Huai and the child, she held back. In addition, there was the hardworking and patient Lao Shen next to her, so Zhu Shuangshuang ended up staying in Guo Hui's ward for half a day.

It wasn't until Han Zhang came from the school that he was able to come over. Although his students had already graduated in June, the school hadn't started its summer break yet, and he had a lot of things to do. He usually didn't have time to come over until 9 p.m.

Old Shen and Zhu Shuangshuang only left after Han Zhang arrived.

Seeing Zhu Shuangshuang's exhausted appearance, Luo Huai felt a pang of sadness. "You're not even close to her, why did you have to go? I'll thank her when I feel better."

"It's okay, it's okay. Oh, why is there an extra bed?" Zhu Shuangshuang looked at the soft, fluffy bed and was about to lie down when she turned back to ask if she could lie down.

"Lie down, I'll have to trouble you to stay with me at the hospital."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work... snoring..." Zhu Shuangshuang fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She must be so tired.

Her condition inevitably made Luo Huai have more complicated thoughts about Guo Hui.

However, she is more worried about the company right now. When she went online, the defamatory remarks were no longer flying everywhere, but the police have not yet given any results. Even if they do clarify, there was indeed a body on the construction site. After it was built into a shopping mall, who would dare to go there?

If it hadn't been exposed, everything would have been fine. But it just so happened that everyone in Ningcheng knew about it, especially when the project was almost completed.

If this results in an unfinished project, Chaoye Technology will suffer significant losses.

It was already past midnight, and Xing Yanzhao was still at the company. Luo Huai felt a little sorry for him. She wanted to wait for Xing Yanzhao to come back, but the baby in her belly was also very weak after the car accident, so she needed to rest.

Luo Huai slowly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, she felt Xing Yanzhao return and lay down next to her. She subconsciously turned over to get closer to him.

She still had nightmares.

She dreamt of a car accident, and then dreamt that the doctor told her that her child was gone.

Startled, she sat up in a cold sweat. Two blurry figures by the window immediately turned and walked towards her.

"What's wrong?" Xing Yanzhao saw that she was covered in sweat and guessed that she had a nightmare, so he quickly hugged her and gently patted her back.

Only after recovering did Luo Huai see who the blurry figure was.

"Brother Zhao." She hugged him back for a moment, then let go and looked at the woman with worried eyes, calling out, "Auntie."

"Little Luohuai, have some water."

When Luo Huai saw that there were many more gifts in the ward, he knew that Tang Zhu had come to visit him and brought them. He accepted the water and thanked her.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Tang Zhu asked, "Did our conversation wake you up?"

"No, it was just a nightmare."

"It was just a dream." Tang Zhu sat down on the edge of the bed and gently hugged her. "You continue to rest. I'll discuss this with Yan Zhao another day."

"It's alright, I actually find it more lively with you guys talking." Luo Huai then asked, remembering something, "Is it something I can hear?"

Tang Zhu smiled and said, "Of course, it's just about the construction site. People have been spreading all sorts of rumors about it, so I suggested that Yanzhao turn it into a large haunted house."

"This haunted house is way too big," Luo Huai thought, feeling it was somewhat undesirable.

Tang Zhu thought about it and agreed, "What else can we do? Turning it into a haunted house wouldn't be a waste, and we can make a little money if we can."

"How about turning it into a large, secret chamber?" Luo Huai continued drinking her hot water, meeting Xing Yanzhao's gaze and signaling her to continue.

“We could set up a different kind of escape room on each floor, and then produce an escape room variety show. With the star power there, it’s practically the same as an endorsement, so maybe…” Actually, Luo Huai wasn’t sure if it would work; she was just expanding on Tang Zhu’s suggestion.

"I'm a big star!" Tang Zhu's eyes lit up, and she turned to Xing Yanzhao and said, "This project is feasible, I want to invest! It's a good opportunity for me to introduce our new artists to the public."

Xing Yanzhao also thought the suggestion was feasible and asked the people in the company to do an evaluation first.

Zhu Shuangshuang, who was fast asleep, finally woke up half an hour before lunch. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the ageless goddess of the entertainment industry. She rolled off the bed with a thud, feeling no pain at all, and just wanted to go over and ask for an autograph and a photo.

In the afternoon, Luo Huai was going to have a check-up, and Zhu Shuangshuang followed her closely, so much so that even Xing Yanzhao couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Xing Yanzhao was speechless for a moment, while Luo Huai laughed heartily.

Suddenly, the hospital didn't feel so dreary anymore.

Of course, that would be if Pei's father didn't come and spoil the fun.

When Luo Huai saw Pei's father, the smile on his face gradually faded. After all, he was an elder, so he didn't have the bodyguards stop him.

After entering the ward, Luo Huai asked knowingly, "Uncle Pei, is something the matter?"

"Luo Huai, you're recovering well." Pei's father breathed a silent sigh of relief.

“Yes, we were lucky to survive. Someone saved us, and we arrived at the hospital in time. I wonder if Miss Pei is a little disappointed by this outcome?” Luo Huai spoke slowly, like a dull knife grinding against Pei’s father’s heart.

Mr. Pei explained, “Youyou didn’t want to kill you. You wouldn’t believe me anyway. Youyou’s car brakes failed. I’m not here to protect my daughter. We admit it was our fault. I didn’t raise her well, and you’ve suffered all these years. Just tell me what compensation you want. I just want to ask, can you please not sue Youyou?”

Xing Yanzhao handed over all the evidence, but the police didn't come for a long time. He guessed that Xing Yanzhao also wanted to settle the matter privately.

Whether or not the matter can be settled privately depends on Luo Huai.

"As long as you don't tell Youyou, and the conditions aren't too unreasonable, we can agree to anything," Mr. Pei stated his determination.

After a long silence, Luo Huai smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I won't tell."

Both Pei's father and Zhu Shuangshuang were taken aback. Why did they agree?
