    When they arrived at the vi, the driver helped Song Fan get Gu Chen inside before leaving immediately.


    Song Fan found it odd, so the driver exined, “This is the house of Gu Chen’s mother’s family. He doesn’t allow outsiders to stay.”


    Song Fan nodded. “Alright, then contact Su Ming and have hime over quickly.”


    After the driver left, Song Fan called Zhao Min. Gu Chen needed constant care, including acupuncture, and the antidote couldn’t be dyed. Although Zhao Min wasn’t as skilled as Wu Yong, she was still one of the top researchers in theb. Despite thete hour, Song Fan had no choice but to contact her.


    By the time Su Ming arrived, Song Fan had just finished giving Gu Chen acupuncture. She was drenched in sweat, but Gu Chen’s breathing had finally stabilized.


    Before they could exchange greetings, Zhao Min’s call came in. “The medicine is ready, ording to your specified dosage. Where should I deliver it? Theb has a portable cooler. I can bring it along.”


    Song Fan nced at Su Ming, who immediately understood. “Sun Zhi is near thepany. He can go pick it up.”


    Song Fan nodded and told Zhao Min over the phone, “Sun Zhi wille to theb to pick it up. Stay there and don’t go anywhere. I’ll send you his photo.”


    Even though they were all from the Gu Corporation, Song Fan had to be cautious. With Gu Chen surrounded by threats, she couldn’t take any chances.


    Half an hourter, Sun Zhi arrived hurriedly. Song Fan carefully checked the medicine before administering it to Gu Chen.


    Zhao Min had indeed done a good job; the antidote worked quickly. Gu Chen soon woke up.


    Upon waking, the first thing he saw was Song Fan’s anxious face. “Are you feeling ufortable anywhere? Nauseous?”


    Gu Chen shook his head and managed to utter one word: “Water.”


    Su Ming promptly handed over the prepared warm water. Song Fan helped Gu Chen drink a few sips, and he finally felt some relief in his throat.


    Song Fan sighed in relief but knew they urgently needed to obtain the snow lotus. Even if the current antidote could temporarily suppress the poison, she couldn’t guarantee she’d always be able to save him in a crisis.


    Seeing her worried expression, Gu Chen smiled. “You’ve saved my life again. My savior.”


    Song Fan rolled her eyes. “You seem pretty robust. You’ll probably live to 99. The moment you wake up, you start making jokes.”


    Su Ming, aware of the situation’s background, mentioned, “Gu Hai contacted me today. The Xu family has confirmed the engagement. They need our cooperation to prepare for the engagement party.”


    What happened between Xu Wen and Gu Zhuo was too scandalous. Though the Xu family had managed to suppress the news, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t leak out. It was better to formalize the engagement to mitigate any potential fallout.


    Gu Chen understood and nodded. “This is important. Cooperate with Gu Hai’s requests as long as they’re reasonable.”


    Gu Hai, having seized an opportunity, would undoubtedly make a big deal out of the engagement. But Gu Chen wasn’t worried. Even with the Xu family’s support, it would be for Gu Zhuo, not Gu Hai.


    With Gu Chen’s condition improving, Su Ming returned to handle thepany’s affairs, leaving Sun Zhi to assist with care. Song Fan decided to stay at the vi. With just the three of them, there was plenty of space.


    “I still feel dizzy,” Gu Chenined, holding his forehead with a pained expression as soon as Sun Zhi left the room.


    Song Fan hurried over, but seeing the smile at the corner of his mouth and his steady pulse, she couldn’t help but mock, “You have nine lives. A little dizziness won’t kill you. I’m going to sleep.”


    However, Gu Chen immediately pulled her into a hug, inhaling the familiar scent of her hair, which lifted his spirits. “This feels familiar. Did youfort me like this when I was out of it?”


    Song Fan didn’t expect Gu Chen to be conscious at the time. Remembering their earlier interaction, her face turned red.


    “Hmph, you should be thankful I didn’t disable you then,” she retorted, trying to break free from his embrace. “I’m just going to the room next door. Don’t get any funny ideas!”


    She mmed the door shut, finally calming down. Without Uncle Zhong’s supervision, she intended to enjoy the vi.


    But before dawn, her phone rang.


    “Miss Song, is Zhao Min with you? She didn’te back all night!”
