"Sister Susu, let's go first. Leave the child with me to take care of. You should go back to the hospital to rest properly," Su Kangxi wanted to take them away.
Little Xingxing looked around with wide, expectant eyes and timidly asked, "Where's Daddy? Where is Daddy?"
Gu Susu forced a smile at him and said, "Daddy can't see us right now. He's resting inside. We'll go back first, and we'll have to wait a few days to see Daddy..."
"How could it be you? What are you doing here?" Shu Yan spotted Gu Susu and walked towards her with an arrogant air.
Gu Susu replied politely, "Miss Shu, hello."
Shu Yan's makeup was smudged, and she had clearly been crying. She glanced at Su Kangxi and Little Xingxing beside her and said resentfully, "What were you just saying to this child? Who is his father?"
"It's nothing, I didn't say anything. I just came to check on President Qin's condition. I'm leaving now." Gu Susu said faintly, preparing to turn away, wanting only to avoid her unreasonable behavior.
"Wait." Shu Yan grabbed Little Xingxing and yanked him forcefully to her side. Looking at the child's small face, she said, "Tianyi got hurt because of this child? Look at his face, it's as seductive as yours!"
Su Kangxi was caught off guard by her actions. After reacting, he immediately snatched the child from her hands and said impolitely, "You'll scare the child like this. Can't you just say things properly?"
Shu Yan sized up Su Kangxi and said with a laugh, "And who are you? This woman's little boyfriend?"
Su Kangxi's face turned red for a moment. He wanted to retort, but Gu Susu quickly spoke up for him, "He's my younger brother. I said we were leaving, please don't make a scene here."
Hearing the word "brother," Su Kangxi felt a strange sense of loss, but he quickly adjusted. It would be good if he and Gu Susu could always be like siblings.
Shu Yan was angered by the sight of Gu Susu. "I'm making a scene? Tianyi is like this because of you and your bastard child. You still have the nerve to come here, wanting to see if you can gain anything!"
Gu Susu could no longer tolerate it. "You..."
Little Xingxing cautiously tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Mommy, what is a bastard?"
"Be good, don't listen to her. Let's go." Gu Susu picked up the child, wanting only to leave this place immediately.
Huo Jin, who had been following Shu Yan, also tugged at Shu Yan and advised her in a low voice, "Forget it. No matter what, the child is innocent. Don't target him."
Shu Yan had been feeling lately that Huo Jin was always siding with others. She said unhappily, "This child's origins are unclear, and he even recognizes Tianyi as his father, just to gain Tianyi's sympathy! If he dares to come, can't I say anything? If anything happens to Tianyi, I won't let this woman off!"
Su Kangxi, unable to contain his anger, grabbed her neck with a joint lock. "Who do you not want to let off? You dare to say such threatening words in front of the police. Come with me to the police station!"
"Let go of me! You dare to impersonate a police officer, help!" Shu Yan cried out in alarm.
Shu Yan's parents, who were discussing matters with the executives of Aoxiang Group, also noticed the commotion. Seeing their daughter being choked, they rushed over in a panic.
Shu Yan's mother questioned Su Kangxi, "Who are you, and why aren't you letting go! If you don't release Yan, we'll call the police."
Su Kangxi took out his police ID and showed it to them. "I am a police officer. Your daughter was just threatening this lady."
The people who had gathered saw that Su Kangxi was indeed a police officer.
Only Shu Yan's father, Old Dao, had sharp eyes. He said in a deep voice, "He's just an intern police officer, and he dares to treat my daughter like this? I'm going to complain to your chief!"
Gu Susu didn't want to escalate the situation, nor did she want Su Kangxi to get into trouble. She pulled him away forcefully and said, "Xiao Su, forget it. Let her say what she wants. Let's go."
Su Kangxi reluctantly released Shu Yan's neck and warned her, "Watch your words in the future, or don't blame me for taking you to the police station for slander."
Shu Yan lost her earlier arrogance. Standing beside her father, she put on a brave front and said, "You little police officer, just you wait. I will report you!"
Under everyone's pointing fingers, Gu Susu pulled Su Kangxi away from the hospital.
Chang Qingchuan had wanted to step forward to help Gu Susu, but Huo Jin subtly held him back, preventing him from acting rashly.
Xiao Anjing also saw this scene and knew that if Qin Tianyi woke up, the people he would most want to see would be Gu Susu and the child.
However, someone had leaked the news of Qin Tianyi's injury, causing panic. Many people had come to the hospital, and the situation was complicated. At this time, he could not keep Gu Susu and her son there.
"What's all the noise? This is the intensive care unit. Too many people can't stay here. Only one or two family members should wait outside!" A doctor, accompanied by hospital security, sternly told everyone else to leave.
"I am the injured party's fiancée. I will stay," Shu Yan proactively told the doctor.
The doctor pointed at her and said, "Alright, you stay. Everyone else, please leave as soon as possible."
Xiao Anjing was worried about leaving Shu Yan alone. Although he hadn't slept all night and had gone through such a thrilling experience, and was exhausted, he still insisted on staying.
The others had no choice but to leave the hospital one after another.
...
After leaving the hospital, Little Xingxing, in Gu Susu's arms, clutched her clothes nervously and no longer cried for his father.
Gu Susu hugged him tightly, stroking his back, trying to comfort him.
But Little Xingxing didn't cry or make a fuss. He just stayed quiet, making it impossible for her to explain everything that had just happened to him.
Su Kangxi also remained silent on the way back, a tacit understanding of quietness between them.
When they arrived at the maternity and child hospital where Gu Susu was staying, Little Xingxing had already fallen asleep, but his brows were still furrowed in his sleep.
Before returning to her own ward, Gu Susu felt reluctant to leave Little Xingxing. She kissed his forehead.
Su Kangxi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Susu, isn't this child Qin Tianyi's? Then whose is he?"
Gu Susu replied with a bitter smile, "I don't know either. Actually, I'm not as good as you think. I've been through too much over the years. I'll tell you more slowly when I have the chance."
Hearing the sadness in her voice, Su Kangxi didn't press further. He only said, "Sister Susu, leave the child to me, you can rest assured. I will take good care of him and bring him to see you every day."
"I don't want to stay in the hospital. It's not a serious illness. I'll go to the hospital to check out now." Gu Susu felt that staying in the hospital was a waste of time, and there were many things to do.
Su Kangxi objected, "Sister, you need to recuperate first. Your complexion looks very bad, your voice is weak, and you have no strength when you walk. If you don't get better, how will you take care of the child in the future?"
"But I can't do anything while staying in the hospital. With Qin Tianyi like this, Mishang and his group need someone to support them even more."
"Sister, you are just a designer now, what can you do? Recuperate first, the child still needs you," Su Kangxi advised her.
