"She's a woman, right? Can you find out her name?" Shu Yan asked.
"Yes, her surname is Gu. According to the pinyin, her name is Susu."
"Okay, I understand." Shu Yan put away her phone. So Qin Tianyi was bringing Gu Susu and the child on this trip abroad. But Gu Susu hadn't come. Was this another chance given to her by fate?
As Shu Yan walked away, Qin Tianyi slowly looked at her retreating back, wondering if it was a coincidence.
This was a famous resort. It wasn't strange for her to come here to relax. But it was such a coincidence that they would run into each other on the beach.
Or perhaps, for his apology, she had deliberately investigated his whereabouts and come here to find him?
This woman was truly troublesome. He had been a bit excessive in what happened at the church. He could give her an apology, but that didn't mean he would accept her methods. She was simply a madwoman.
If she kept tracking his movements like this, it would hinder his investigation of certain matters. It seemed he needed to find a way to get rid of Shu Yan.
When Qin Tianyi returned to the hotel with Xiao Xingxing, he encountered Shu Yan again. He realized she was staying in the same hotel, albeit on a different floor.
After returning to his room, he decided to check out early the next morning. He couldn't let his whereabouts be exposed any further.
At night, Xiao Xingxing was probably tired from playing and fell asleep early.
However, for the past few days since going abroad, he hadn't been able to sleep, relying entirely on alcohol to numb himself.
He sat alone, drinking a bottle of red wine, thinking about everything that had happened since he met Gu Susu. His heart felt like it was bleeding.
Perhaps he should have understood his feelings earlier and reciprocated them sooner. Before Yang Sijie appeared, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings between them, and Yang Sijie wouldn't have had an opportunity.
Her heart had always been only for Yang Sijie. Why did she still come to provoke him? Was it just to get the child back? If so, the sacrifice was too great?
And were all the sweet moments between them just her acting? If so, her acting skills were too good, making him completely unaware.
Qin Tianyi drank glass after glass, becoming somewhat tipsy. A cold smile played on his lips. After all, her acting skills had always been excellent. He had even joked with her once, saying her acting could win an Oscar. He hadn't expected it to come true.
At that moment, the room's landline suddenly rang. Fearing he might wake Xiao Xingxing, he quickly picked up the receiver. Just as he was about to speak in English, a woman's voice came from the other end, "Tianyi, can you come to my room for a moment?"
He immediately recognized Shu Yan's voice and asked coldly, "What is it?"
"My stomach hurts so much. I think I ate something wrong at dinner, but there's no medicine in the room. Can you help me?"
Qin Tianyi said impatiently, "Okay, I'll notify the hotel staff and see if there's a doctor who can help you."
"Tianyi, don't call the staff. They speak in gibberish, and I can't understand anything. Please help me..." Shu Yan's voice grew weaker, and the call cut off before she could finish.
Qin Tianyi considered for a few seconds and then called the hotel front desk first, explaining Shu Yan's situation.
The front desk staff said in English, "Certainly, our hotel has a medical room, and we can have a doctor examine her."
"That's great. Please send a doctor over as soon as possible."
"Certainly. It's a bit late, though. I need to confirm if the doctor is still in the hotel. If not, I'll have him come from home."
After contacting the front desk, Qin Tianyi thought about it. He was still worried about Shu Yan, especially since he felt he had wronged her. He was afraid something might happen to her.
He went to Shu Yan's floor. As soon as he entered, Shu Yan hugged him tightly.
"What's wrong? Didn't your stomach hurt?" Qin Tianyi pulled her away and asked.
Shu Yan immediately said, "Yes, my stomach hurts, and it's very uncomfortable."
Qin Tianyi helped her lie down on the bed and said, "Rest here for a while. I'll get you a glass of hot water. The hotel doctor should be here soon."
Shu Yan grunted, sweat beading on her forehead, her face flushed red.
As Qin Tianyi went to pour her hot water, he smelled a strange fragrance in her room, some kind of incense that was somewhat pungent.
He sat by the bed, lifted Shu Yan's head, and brought the cup to her lips, feeding her water.
Shu Yan drank a couple of sips and then leaned against him as if she had no bones, "Tianyi, hold me. As long as you hold me, I won't feel so uncomfortable."
"I can't cure you. You should lie down and rest properly." Qin Tianyi put the cup aside and tried to shake her off.
But her hands began to grope him, holding him tightly, "Tianyi, look at me. Am I not good-looking? Is my figure not good?"
Qin Tianyi then noticed she was only wearing a low-cut nightgown. Looking at her delicate posture, he felt something was wrong.
This didn't look like a stomachache from bad food at all. Qin Tianyi also felt his head swimming, and his vision blurred as he looked at Shu Yan.
He immediately took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again. He realized the face of the person holding him had turned into Gu Susu's.
Anger surged within Qin Tianyi. He fiercely grabbed her chin, "Why did you lie to me! Why did you lie to me when you were fine? You filled me with joy, only for it to be in vain! Do you know what the consequence is for someone who deceives me? I will not let either of you go!"
"I didn't lie to you, I never lied to you... I like you, ever since the first time I saw you." Shu Yan's hands, which had been holding him, climbed to his neck, and she hung on him, soft and boneless.
Qin Tianyi was suddenly startled by this voice. Realizing the face before him was not Gu Susu, he immediately threw Shu Yan off, quickly covered his nose, and knew something was wrong with the room.
"Rest well by yourself and don't try these tricks anymore. I was wrong about the wedding last time, so no matter how your father dealt with me or suppressed me, I was willing to bear it. I did that for your own good, I didn't want to delay you. You should let go of your obsession and find someone who truly loves you." This was the first time he had ever said so much to her, hoping she would understand.
"I don't care about being delayed. You were going to marry me, weren't you?" Shu Yan started crying painfully, struggling to get up from the bed, trying to keep him there. "If Gu Susu hadn't appeared at the church, our wedding could have proceeded smoothly! It's all her fault, entirely her fault..."
"It's not her fault that time." As soon as Qin Tianyi heard her mention Gu Susu, his heart ached unbearably. "Snap out of it quickly. I'm leaving."
With that, he immediately turned and left Shu Yan's room.
Shu Yan rushed to the door desperately but couldn't keep him. She couldn't help but sob.
This time it failed again. She felt feverish and uncomfortable, unable to hold on. She thought about quickly extinguishing the incense burning in the room, but just then, a foreign doctor carrying a medical kit walked over and asked about her condition in English.
