Aihua Capital had surpassed even Fangyuan Capital in size. Initially, its founder had amassed his wealth through small-scale ventures, but as his funds grew, he transitioned into a more focused approach on investment. He possessed a keen eye for potential opportunities, readily investing in projects he believed in. Over the years, he had backed numerous successful ventures, amassing immense personal wealth. It was no surprise that his license plate was a rare sight in Jing City; he had established his residence abroad.
Mu Qing couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss Fang Yuan seems to have an extensive network.” Not only did Dean Zheng of Renyi Hospital hold her in high regard, but her father was also one of the wealthiest individuals around. It appeared that her connections extended even to Sun Bingsong.
Bo Yi remained fixated on those delicate hands that had supported each other for so long. Why hadn’t they let go yet? It wasn’t until they entered the elevator together that he withdrew his gaze and instructed, “Find out which private room they’ve reserved.”
“Master Bo, do you wish to join them for a meal as well?” Mu Qing inquired. He suddenly felt a chill in the air and realized what was happening. Without delay, he made a discreet phone call.
“I’ve inquired about it, Master Bo. Miss Fang Yuan is in a private room on the north side of the second floor. There’s a restaurant across from there where we can dine without disturbing her and her companion.”
“Very well,” Bo Yi replied distractedly, his thoughts lingering on those small hands.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan assisted Sun Bingsong into the private room. After helping him settle in, she handed him a bag and said, “Here, this is for you.” “A gift?” Sun Bingsong accepted the bag and inspected its contents. Inside were five to six sets of clothing, including outerwear and pajamas. His expression reflected both satisfaction and delight. “Did you make these?”
Fang Yuan nodded, saying, “Yes.”
“Fantastic! I absolutely love the clothes you create. They have a great style, and they’re incredibly comfortable to wear!” Sun Bingsong was currently wearing clothes that Fang Yuan had crafted for him last year. They still looked brand new and maintained their shape no matter how many times he washed them.
“This gift is truly exceptional. I gladly accept it!”
“Master Bo, the dishes are ready for you to enjoy,” the waiter announced.
Inside the private room, Mu Qing noticed Bo Yi’s fixed gaze on the girl in the adjacent room. He couldn’t resist teasing, “The view from here is quite captivating, isn’t it?” He could clearly observe everything Miss Fang Yuan was doing in her private room.
Bo Yi simply replied, “Please, eat your meal.” He couldn’t help but notice that the girl was not only offering gifts to the elderly lady but also attending to her needs, pouring water and serving food. He hadn’t received such treatment even the previous night!
“Master Bo, then i won’t hold back!” Mu Qing eagerly grabbed his bowl of rice and began devouring it. “The food here is exquisite!” He had been so preoccupied with Bo Yi’s activities all morning that he hadn’t had breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the other private room.
“I just realized i left my gift at the hotel,” Sun Bingsong confessed. “Your grandmother’s birthday is in two weeks, and I’ve prepared a gift for her. Later, we can go to the hotel to retrieve it. We’ll maintain the same rule – don’t mention that I gave it to her.”
Fang Yuan nodded in agreement as she served Sun Bingsong another bowl of soup. “How long were you planning to stay this time?”
Sun Bingsong replied, “I’m leaving in the afternoon.”
Fang Yuan was surprised. “So soon?”
“I originally came alone…” Sun Singsong’s eyes revealed a hint of loneliness as he explained.
Observing his expression, Fang Yuan casually remarked, “If you’d like to see my grandmother, I can arrange it for you.”
Sun Bingsong felt a surge of excitement, but it quickly faded. The hospital was filled with curious onlookers, and any interaction between them could easily be misconstrued. He wasn’t concerned for himself but didn’t want to tarnish Yuehua’s reputation. Although their relationship was innocent and nothing had happened between them, he didn’t want any unnecessary gossip.
“I can arrange for Chen Yang to take you inside at night to have a look,” Fang Yuan suggested, taking a sip of her soup. “Don’t worry, Granny doesn’t usually wake up during the night.”
Sun Bingsong pondered for a moment but ultimately shook his head. “I’m afraid that if i see it, I won’t want to leave.”
Fang Yuan was surprised by his response and looked into his eyes.
Sun Bingsong elaborated, “It’s quite nice here. Later, accompany me to the hotel, and we’ll collect your gifts.” Although he couldn’t stay with her, at least he could send these presents as his representatives.
Meanwhile, Bo Yi couldn’t help but wonder as he observed Fang Yuan savoring her soup, “What kind of soup is that? It looks delicious. I’d like to try it.”
After they finished their meal, Fang Yuan once again boarded Sun Bingsong’s car, and they headed to Wankang Hotel to retrieve her presents.
Outside the Eastern Lake, Fang Jiayi and Lu Chen watched as Fang Yuan assisted the elderly man into the car and drove away.
Lu Chen couldn’t contain his frustration. He started the engine and followed them.
Fang Jiayi feigned tears while covering her face. “I never expected Sister to end up like this… Brother Lu Chen, 1 had no idea that Sister would face such hardships after leaving the Fang Clan…”
With resentment, Lu Chen replied, “That’s because she chose to degrade herself!”
