Chapter 813


    Recently, Celine''s poprity had dipped slightly, but this incident had thrust her back into the


    limelight.


    On one hand, she was eager to spend time with Ss, hoping to earn his admiration by caring for


    him. On the other hand, she saw an opportunity to boost her fame.

    Naturally, Pearl was not oblivious to Celine''s schemes. She promptly turned down Celine''s request.


    "You''re quite busy with work. Just stay at thepany. There are people looking after him, so don''t


    worry about it."


    Celine''s expression shifted rapidly. She forced a smile. "Miss Pearl, I''m not insisting on visiting him,


    but he''s helped me a lot. And I won''t visit during work hours. It''ll be after work, so it won''t interfere."


    Her real aim was to get Ss''s address.


    Pearl knitted her brows. "As a streamer with millions of fans, shouldn''t you avoid any hint of


    scandal?"


    The recent gossip involving the three of them was well-known, and Pearl suspected Celine was well


    aware of it. Although getting infamous was considered some kind of poprity, it was


    unnecessary... Besides, Pearl didn''t want to make Celine famous.


    The smile vanished from Celine''s face. "I understand, Miss Pearl."


    After their exchange, Celine left, her demeanor subdued, but a flicker of determination gleamed in


    her eyes.

    Later that evening, Pearl realized that she had been cruel to Ss earlier. So, she bought some food


    for him.


    When she arrived at the hospital, she was taken aback to find Celine sitting by Ss''s bedside.


    Celine looked equally surprised to see Pearl. Of course, she wouldn''t tell Pearl that she had gotten


    Ss'' address by calling and pestering him that afternoon.


    "Miss Pearl, I..." she began, but Pearl cut her off.


    "Just stay if you''re here," Pearl said coolly, not giving Celine the chance to exin.


    Celine felt awkward and frustrated, but she remained silent, mindful of her status.


    Ss noticed the tension and decided to diffuse it by offering Celine an orange from the nightstand


    with a warm smile. "You''ve been here a while. Have an orange."


    Celine felt touched by his gesture, wondering if he had been moved by her visit. Shyly, she lowered


    her head and peeled the orange, then ate it in small bites.


    But Pearl, seeing his actions, rolled her eyes internally. Ss was indeed a yboy. She tossed the


    snacks she had brought onto the table and said, "Eat. I got them for you."


    Ignoring Pearl, Ss pushed the snacks toward Celine. "I''ve already eaten, but you must be hungry.


    Have these."


    Pearl shot him a disdainful re and picked up a cup to get some water. But she did not drink it.


    Instead, she tilted her hand and sshed the water on Celine''s hand.


    "Ah!" Celine panicked in an instant.
