Gu Susu was worried about Little Star, and also feared Qin Tianyi might be in danger.
Wei Yanan watched Qin Tianyi's retreating back and said with a puzzled smile, "Susu, your ex-husband is so strange. He clearly cares about you but always pretends not to. It's hilarious. Haven't you noticed? What's going on between you two? You both still seem to like each other, so why did you get divorced?"
Like each other? Gu Susu was a bit lost. "No, it's more like we can't stand each other."
She hated him, hated his bossiness, his possessiveness, his controlling nature.
Seeing that she was an idiot when it came to relationships, Wei Yanan suddenly slapped Su Kangxi beside her. "Don't you think so? We outsiders can see things clearly. It's obvious at a glance."
Su Kangxi was surprised to learn that Gu Susu had divorced Qin Tianyi. He had no idea!
After Wei Yanan's slap, he immediately said, "I don't think so. Sister Susu is right, they can't stand each other."
Wei Yanan glanced at him, thinking this guy was also an idiot if he couldn't see it. She felt like hitting him on the head.
Gu Susu nodded. "Yes, I don't feel like he likes me. He's always so cold."
Wei Yanan insisted, "His personality is cold, but he's different with you than with others. I wouldn't be wrong. You two have never confessed your feelings to each other, have you?"
Gu Susu shook her head. "He just has a strong desire to control, to completely control everyone around him. It has nothing to do with feelings or liking someone."
"That's not it. Based on my rich dating experience, he likes you. Believe me..."
"What did Qin Tianyi give you to make you say that?" Su Kangxi interrupted. "Why are you speaking up for him? If Sister Susu says he's bad, then he's bad."
Wei Yanan pointed at him unceremoniously. "What do you know? Who are you? What makes you think you can interrupt when I'm talking to Susu, you brat!"
"Who are you calling a brat? How old are you? What right do you have to call me young!" Su Kangxi retorted indignantly.
Seeing that they were about to argue, Gu Susu quickly stopped them. "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you. Su Kangxi, he's my childhood friend from the orphanage. Wei Yanan, my good friend."
As she spoke, she took their hands, trying to get them to shake hands.
But neither of them was willing to shake hands. They both pulled their hands back and maintained a distance from each other.
Gu Susu had to smooth things over. "You two are like fire and water."
Su Kangxi disliked Wei Yanan's appearance, seeing her as not a proper girl.
"Look at you, you silly thing. You can be a police officer? Don't get yourself caught before you even catch any criminals," Wei Yanan said dismissively.
Su Kangxi wasn't angry, but asked curiously, "Then what do you do?"
"I... I don't have a job. I just hang around outside," Wei Yanan stammered.
Su Kangxi smiled, thinking she must not be doing anything legitimate. He said playfully, "Then don't do anything illegal. I'll arrest you."
Gu Susu quickly said with a smile, "Why are you two so combative? Don't be angry with each other."
"Who's fighting with him?" Wei Yanan naturally disliked police officers, let alone a silly rookie like Su Kangxi.
"Sister Susu, can President Qin find the child by himself?" Su Kangxi also disdained to argue with her.
Gu Susu said anxiously, "I'm also very worried. Could you please notify the police station responsible for this matter and ask them to help Qin Tianyi?"
"Okay, don't say that. This is what we police officers should do." Su Kangxi prepared to leave. "You rest well, and leave the search for the child to me."
"Thank you. You be careful too," Gu Susu reminded him.
"Okay." Su Kangxi turned and walked away with a straight posture.
As soon as he left, Wei Yanan started laughing. "Susu, your orphanage friend is so stiff. He's treating the hospital like a police academy. Who walks like that?"
Gu Susu laughed and said, "What, you've taken a liking to him?"
"Tch, I'd like him? That's crazy, impossible." Wei Yanan scoffed. Soldiers and thieves were like day and night, they would never intersect.
Gu Susu thought she was being shy and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, who's good enough for me?" Wei Yanan said jokingly.
Gu Susu thought of something and asked, "By the way, what are you really doing now? Why were you at the warehouse that day? You're not really doing anything illegal, are you?"
"No, I just stored some goods there. I went to pick them up that day and that's how I found you. It's also that scumbag's fault for being too ostentatious."
"What goods? Why do they all call you Miss?"
Wei Yanan brushed it off. "It's pawned items. My dad owns a pawnshop, and it's quite sizable. He's gone abroad for a trip recently, so he asked me to manage it for him. His employees all like to call me Miss or something."
"Okay, that's good." Gu Susu felt she was hiding something. Otherwise, why would a good girl always act like a delinquent or a bossy older sister? She reminded her, "Don't ever get into trouble again. It would be a shame to spend your youth in prison."
"Susu, stop being like an old busybody. Why are you so naggy? I know what I'm doing." Wei Yanan said with a smile, but felt helpless inside.
She didn't want to be like this either. She also wanted to live a normal life.
But her father was a boss, and he had been in shady businesses his whole life. She was his only daughter, and he expected her to inherit his business.
She didn't like the businesses her father was in, but no matter where she hid, her father could find her and force her to learn how to manage his shady businesses. It was a strange kind of father.
However, she had also thought about it. Once she truly took over her father's business, she would change it completely and make her father's company a legitimate business. That's why she was secretly studying business management.
She wanted to tell Gu Susu about these things, but she didn't know how to say it yet. She would tell her when the time was right.
Outside, everyone called her Miss Wei. She also had quite a few followers assigned by her father, but she never abused her power or did anything bad.
She sighed inwardly. Seeing the breakfast on the bedside table had gone cold, she quickly said, "The breakfast is cold. I'll heat it up for you. You should eat more to recover from blood loss."
Gu Susu nodded gratefully. "It's so good to have you with me in the hospital. It's great to meet you again."
Wei Yanan waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this." She cleared the table and went to heat the breakfast.
The ward fell silent, leaving only Uncle Gu. She leaned back on the hospital bed, her heart aching with worry for Little Star.
She hoped they could really find the child this time, and that Qin Tianyi could bring Little Star back safely. She prayed that heaven would hear her.
If anything happened to Little Star, she wouldn't have the strength to live on.
