Gu Shaoting didn't take Shu Pan back to her home but brought her to Shuimu Qinghua.
He was concerned about the intense shock she had just experienced and didn't want her to be alone at home. After inquiring about Shu Pan's preference, she nodded gently. She didn't want to be alone now; the mere thought of that scene made her feel fearful and on the verge of collapse.
Upon their return to Shuimu Qinghua, considering the lateness of the hour, they decided to pick up Joy the next day. However, to ease Ye Xiaomeng's worries, Shu Pan called her.
"Girl, you scared me to death," Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed, her voice carrying a hint of tears, once the call connected.
Feeling a deep sense of guilt, Shu Pan had genuinely worried her good friend.
"Xiaomeng, don't worry. I'm safe now, everything's fine," Shu Pan said slowly and gently, each word pulling at her swollen face, causing pain down to her nerves.
