If this person is someone she knows well, and is deliberately keeping a low profile, then it's likely that this person is on the opposite side and wants to make a big fuss about their background.

With that in mind, Chu Lan didn't hesitate and headed straight for Jiangcheng with her bag.

The more she cared about this matter, the easier it was for this person to manipulate her. Even though she really wanted to know about her background, she had to force herself to pretend that she didn't care until she was sure whether the person was good or bad.

After returning to Jiangcheng, Chu Lan went back to the company first to ask the employees to confirm whether Xu Tian had come to the company to see her. When she learned that Xu Tian had not come, Chu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. After dealing with the company's issues, she went directly to the hospital where Su Zhen was.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan and Xu Tian had just finished eating. Ever since the head nurse had disrupted things like this, Xu Tian felt awkward no matter how he stayed here, because Su Nuannuan's gaze towards him contained too much.

"Hey, would you like some fruit? I'll go down and buy some," Xu Tian said, trying to sound casual.

Su Nuannuan slowly shook her head, "I'm not eating anymore. I just ate a meal, how can I have room for fruit?"

Xu Tian said "oh" and sat by the window, staring blankly out the window.

Su Nuannuan's eyes held a hint of complexity and hesitation. She bit her lip and finally spoke.

"Brother Xu Tian, ​​you and President Chu... Sister Chu Lan are doing well, right?"

Xu Tian paused for a moment, then casually said, "It's fine."

Su Nuannuan's heart trembled slightly, and she lowered her head sadly. "What were you thinking when you risked everything to save me that day?"

Xu Tian looked at her in surprise, "Uh... what do you mean?"

Su Nuannuan shook her head again, revealing a knowing smile, and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "I was just asking you out of boredom."

"Don't overthink it. The most important thing right now is Uncle Su's health, don't you agree?" Xu Tian said.

Su Nuannuan gave a soft "hmm," and the ward fell silent once again.

Meanwhile, Chu Lan had already arrived at the hospital and was inquiring at the window about Su Zhen's ward.

Unexpectedly, the nurse became exceptionally enthusiastic upon hearing Xu Tian's name. She not only gave her the ward number but also offered to personally escort her there. Chu Lan was taken aback, thinking that perhaps all the nurses here were like this.

"Let me tell you, you have no idea! Today, that young man Xu Tian put on a heroic rescue story at our hospital, and he really charmed all the single girls in our department. If we didn't know he had a girlfriend, I bet several nurses would be asking for his contact information right now."

Chu Lan couldn't help but laugh, but she was still puzzled as to what Xu Tian had done today that made everyone like him so much.

The nurse gossiped to Chu Lan about Li Cui's outburst at the hospital earlier that day. Chu Lan frowned as she listened, surprised that they were still persistent and had even taken the incident to the hospital.

"Xu Tian's girlfriend is so lucky. The two of them are always together at the hospital. We old aunties are so envious."

Chu Lan paused, her brows furrowed, and a strange sense of panic welled up inside her.

She looked at the nurse, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment, "Who is Xu Tian's girlfriend...?"

The nurse was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and pointed towards the ward, "Look, that's the sweet-looking girl who often stays by Su's side. I've seen her; she's a kind-hearted person. The two of them are a perfect match."

Chu Lan's heart sank suddenly. Images of Su Nuannuan and Xu Tian spending time together in the hospital flashed through her mind, and a bittersweet feeling quietly spread through her heart. She stood there, staring blankly at the room number.

"Come on, why are you stopping? It's just ahead, I'll take you there." The nurse didn't notice the change in Chu Lan's expression.

Chu Lan asked with a trembling heart, "Did Xu Tian admit that Su Nuannuan is his girlfriend? Did he tell you himself?"

The nurse smiled and nodded. "How could it be false? If he hadn't admitted it himself, would all the young women in our department have let him off the hook!"

"Okay, that's it. I have something to do. You can go in by yourself."

The nurse led Chu Lan to the door of the ward and then left.

Chu Lan peered through the glass in the door, unsure how to proceed and face the two people. Why would Xu Tian admit that Su Nuannuan was his girlfriend? Had he changed his mind?

impossible!

She knew Xu Tian best. If he were truly the kind of person who was fickle, why would he have gone to such lengths for Zhang Qian? But the nurse was no stranger to her, and there was no need to joke about something like this...

As Chu Lan hesitated outside the ward, wondering whether to go in, Su Zhen sighed and woke up.

Xu Tian and Su Nuannuan nervously stared at Su Zhen until he opened his eyes, at which point they breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Nuannuan burst into tears of joy, "Dad, you're finally awake... I thought you'd never wake up again."

Su Zhen forced a weary smile. "I'm lucky to be awake. Don't scare yourself."

"Uncle Su, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"I'll call the doctor right now."

Xu Tian was about to run towards the door when Chu Lan turned his head to hide, but fortunately Su Zhen called him back.

Su Zhen looked at the two of them with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"I used to think I could only close my eyes in peace after seeing Nuan Nuan find a man she could entrust her life to, but after this incident, I realized I was wrong..."

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan hurriedly said, "Dad, let's not say anything unlucky. Xu Tian... Xu Tian has already arranged everything. Once you're stable, he'll arrange for you to be transferred to another hospital. There's definitely a way!"

The reason they didn't directly say that Xu Tian's parents had agreed to help treat Su Zhen was because they were afraid that Su Zhen, who had just woken up, would become anxious upon hearing this and worsen his condition.

Su Zhen shook his head and continued, "I know my own body. All I want now is for you to have someone to rely on for the rest of your life, and that person is none other than Xu Tian!"

This was so sudden that Xu Tian didn't react for a moment. He quickly said, "Uncle Su, there's a way to cure your illness, don't think like that..."

"What, do you think my daughter isn't good enough for you?"

Even though Su Zhen was physically weak, his words were still very forceful. He had to seize an opportunity in the limited time he had left.

Xu Tian quickly waved his hand, "Uncle Su, you misunderstood. Of course I know how good Nuan Nuan is."

Su Zhen then said, "That's it. I know you have a girlfriend, but you have to understand how I feel as a parent. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Nuannuan with anyone else but you!"

Xu Tian looked troubled. "Uncle Su, I understand what you mean, but it's too early for you to say these things, and... how can I let Nuannuan suffer!"

"I know you have a girlfriend, but you're going to inherit the Xu family business in the future. Which of those wealthy families doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? Although it's inappropriate for me to say this, and I really don't want to say it, as long as Nuannuan is with you, I know you'll treat her well. I don't care about titles or anything like that anymore. I just ask that you protect her for the rest of her life!"
