Don’t Burden Yourself With Too Many Responsibilities

"Qiao Yiren, no matter how beautiful you look, your appearance can't mask that hideous and nasty heart of yours! Every single terrible thing you've done is engraved on your face! And you look absolutely gruesome!" After Su Qianxun was done speaking, she turned and stormed off coolly because she no longer wished to waste more time on Qiao Yiren.

Qiao Yiren stared at Su Qianxun's graceful figure as she left. Even though the latter had fallen from grace, she was still as gorgeous as a goddess. Qiao Yiren felt her chest ache with envy, so much so that she was nearly driven mad.

She knew that if she did not get rid of Su Qianxun, that little slut would be a threat to her sooner or later!

Qiao Yiren was so jealous that she felt an immense ache in her chest. She could not help but start coughing. When a Qiao family's servant saw that, he said nervously, "Young mistress, I'll give Young Master Chuxi a call so that he'll come and teach that little sl*t a lesson."

*Smack!* Qiao Yiren slapped the servant across the face. The servant quickly covered his smacked cheek. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore. "What's your intention of calling him over right now? Do you want him to see how shameless that little sl*t is and be seduced by her again?" 

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" The servant was so frightened that he quickly apologized.

The commotion they made had already drawn quite some attention. Qiao Yiren quickly pulled down her cap and said indignantly, "What are you waiting for? Get me out of here. Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough?"

The servant immediately went over to help her as they walked forward. Qiao Yiren fixed her gaze on the figure that was entering the elevator. She swore to destroy Su Qianxun's reputation and make sure that the latter would be ravaged by the filthiest men. She would be left on the streets, where stray dogs would then feed on her remains!

…..

Su Qianxun was in a good mood. She walked towards Su Jiye's ward at a relaxed pace, and from afar, she saw Mu Bai waiting for her by the door.

When Mu Bai spotted her, he smiled and lifted the crispy roasted duck in his hand. "I've gotten it for you."

Su Qianxun jogged towards him and took the duck from him. The smile on her face was incredibly innocent. "Thank you so much, Doctor Mu. It's rather inconvenient for me to pick this up on my way here. I'll pay you back during my next visit."

"You don't have to pay me back. A roasted duck doesn't cost much. I can still afford to foot the bill."

"It's not about money. If I want you to treat me to a meal, I won't hesitate to ask you. But you're only buying this on my behalf, so I have to pay you back," Su Qianxun insisted.

Mu Bai could not change her mind. This young woman always stuck to her principles. He seriously wondered what kind of person could change that about her.

"How are you? Is everything alright with your health?" Mu Bai gazed at the young woman before him with concern when he recalled that she asked for some painkillers from him during her previous visit.

"I… I'm fine." Su Qianxun subconsciously wanted to make sure that no one knew about what she was going through.

"What am I going to do with you… Don't burden yourself with too many responsibilities. You can ask for my help whenever you need it." Mu Bai lifted his hand and ruffled her hair.

"I know. I already did." Su Qianxun lifted the crispy roasted duck in her hand with a playful grin on her face.

Mu Bai smiled in resignation. "Why don't you go in? Jiye's been waiting for you."

When Su Jiye heard someone opening the door, he clutched his blanket tightly. He could tell that Su Qianxun was there just by the sound of her footsteps.

"Jiye, it's me, your older sister. Look, I've brought you something tasty today."

Su Qianxun entered the ward, pretending that everything was fine. When she recalled how cruel she was towards her younger brother during her previous visit, she felt extremely regretful and remorseful. 

Su Jiye suddenly turned and lay down on the bed, facing away from her. When Su Qianxun saw his reaction, her eyes reddened. She suppressed the sadness within her and walked over. She gazed at him as she said softly, "Jiye, I'm sorry. What I did during my last visit was my fault. Can you forgive me?"
