"Susu's personality would indeed lead her to think that way," Chang Qingchuan said. "It's fine. Once her studio becomes famous and her clients are stable, I'll approach her for collaboration, and she won't think like this anymore."
"Then handle it as you see fit. I'll go to Sophie's place to find her," Qin Tianyi said, preparing to leave.
Chang Qingchuan quickly interjected, "Susu asked me to tell you when she saw Sophie off: don't go to Sophie's place to find her. After she comforts Sophie, she'll return on her own. She's probably afraid that the presence of a man might cause Sophie's emotions to fluctuate again."
"Okay, I understand." After leaving Mishang, Qin Tianyi was still a little worried. He drove to the building where Sophie lived and waited for Susu in his car without going up. kanδん
...
When Susu accompanied Sophie back to her place, she was stunned to see how messy the apartment was.
Sophie rushed ahead of her, picking up the clothes piled on the living room sofa. "My memory hasn't been very good lately. I put them down and then forget to wash them," she said.
Susu followed behind her and discovered that not only were the clothes unwashed, but the living room table and coffee table were covered with empty takeout boxes and bags. There were also scattered waste paper, books, and magazines on the floor... it was a complete mess.
After Sophie threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, she hurriedly began to clear the trash from the table.
Susu stopped her. "It's okay, I'll clean this up. You go back to your room and rest."
Sophie was about to speak again, but Susu led her to the bedroom. Seeing that the pillows and blankets on the bed were also very messy, she tidied them up a little and helped her lie down.
Sophie looked at her. "Susu, I can't sleep right now."
"Then just close your eyes and rest for a bit." Seeing that she obediently closed her eyes, Susu was about to leave the bedroom to tidy up the living room.
However, Sophie grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you leaving? Don't go. Can you stay with me a little longer?"
"I'm not leaving, I'm just going out to tidy up the living room for you. You rest assured," Susu patted her hand, withdrew her own, and then hurried to help her organize the apartment.
By the time she had finished cleaning and boiled some hot water, and returned to the bedroom, Sophie was already asleep, sleeping soundly.
However, Susu noticed a bottle of sleeping pills on her bedside table. Had Sophie taken sleeping pills while she was tidying up outside?
Susu hurriedly opened the medicine bottle. It was almost full. It seemed that even if Sophie had taken sleeping pills, she had only taken one or two.
Looking at the other new medications placed beside it, Susu picked up one box and examined it carefully. Wasn't this the medicine the doctor prescribed for Sophie during their last hospital visit?
Sophie hadn't taken any of the medicine the doctors had prescribed. She hadn't even opened the packaging. Susu wondered how she managed living here alone.
Susu couldn't stand by and watch Sophie continue like this. She took out her phone and went outside the bedroom to contact the nanny named Zhou Li, whom Huo Zheng had introduced last time.
She arranged for the nanny to come to Sophie's place tomorrow, so Sophie could meet her and decide if she agreed.
...
Qin Tianyi sat in his car and waited for a long time. He had finished all his urgent work on his laptop.
As night fell, he still hadn't seen Susu come out of Sophie's place, so he dialed Susu's phone.
Susu had been staying by Sophie's side in the apartment. She had already cooked porridge and prepared two small dishes. But Sophie was still asleep. She was communicating with Xu Shishi and two other designers about design ideas on her phone when it suddenly rang.
She quickly lowered the volume, swiped to answer, and whispered, "Hello, Tianyi, I'm still at Sophie's place."
"I know," Qin Tianyi asked, "When are you coming home?"
"Have you gone back yet?"
"On my way," Qin Tianyi didn't mention that he was waiting downstairs from Sophie's place.
Susu apologized, "When you get home, don't wait for me and Xiao Xingxing. I think I'll stay here tonight to accompany Sophie. She really can't be left alone in her current state."
Hearing that she didn't even plan to go home tonight, Qin Tianyi asked displeasedly, "Then what do you plan to do? Keep accompanying her like this, not going to the studio, and not coming home?"
"I've already made an appointment with the nanny introduced by Huo Zheng. The nanny will come tomorrow for Sophie to try out," Susu said with a gentle smile. "I'll go to the studio later tomorrow, and I'll definitely come home. Don't be unhappy."
"I'm not unhappy. Sophie is the most important person in your heart now, even more important than me. I know that."
Susu laughed at him. "Mr. Qin, why do you sound so sour? Oh my, my teeth are almost falling out from the sourness."
"Stop joking with me. This is a one-time exception, and it won't happen again. You're not allowed to stay out overnight anymore!" Qin Tianyi's tone was still angry.
"Yes, yes," Susu said coquettishly. "How can you compare yourself to Sophie? The most important place in my heart will always be reserved for you. It's just that there's a special situation. Otherwise, I would never stay out overnight. Is there any bed out there warmer than your embrace, Mr. Qin?"
Her words were very pleasing to Qin Tianyi, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. "Then take care of yourself. Close the doors and windows before you sleep tonight. Do you want me to bring you some change of clothes later?"
"No need. You should rest well when you get back. You've been quite busy and tired lately. I can make do with Sophie's clothes for one night."
"Alright, take care of yourself." Qin Tianyi knew that waiting there any longer was useless, so he had to go back and accompany Xiao Xingxing.
She wanted to help Sophie and take care of Sophie. He couldn't be too angry, after all, Sophie was truly pitiful.
Susu could tell he was no longer angry. She blew a kiss into the phone forcefully, letting him hear the kissing sound.
"Mrs. Qin, you're getting more and more sentimental," Qin Tianyi finally couldn't help but laugh, mimicking her tone. "Oh my, you're giving me goosebumps all over. If you keep this up, I won't talk to you anymore."
"Qin Tianyi! Are you looking for a beating? I'm not talking to you anymore. Goodbye." Susu hung up angrily, but after hanging up, she couldn't stop laughing at her phone.
This Qin Tianyi was so annoying, he was getting more and more out of line.
"Susu, who were you talking to on the phone? You sound so happy."
Sophie's voice suddenly rang out, startling her.
She saw Sophie standing at the bedroom door, quickly put down her phone, got up, and walked to her side, touching her forehead. "You're awake. Do you feel any better?"
"I'm fine," Sophie glanced at the darkening sky outside. "It's already dark. You should go back, otherwise President Qin will worry about you."
Seeing that her complexion had improved, Susu smiled and said, "I just told him. I'm not going back tonight, I'm staying here to accompany you."
Sophie couldn't hide her joy and hugged her tightly. "Really? President Qin won't be unhappy, will he?"
"Although he's a bit jealous, he's not that petty," Susu broke free from her embrace and asked, "Are you hungry? I made porridge and stir-fried two small dishes. Let's eat together. After we eat, I'll do whatever you want. Tonight is our girls' time."
