Chapter 309

"You really are like a wolf..."

Qiao Muting was caught between laughter and tears; he pulled Shu Xia closer to him and coaxed her in a low voice by her ear.

Thinking about it carefully, he had indeed lost control a bit at the time.

Next time...

We'll see.

——

At the same time, Fu Chenyan was taken to a nearby police station by the hotel manager.

The hotel side demanded compensation from Fu Chenyan because his behavior not only involved harassing a guest but also cast suspicion on tarnishing the hotel's reputation.

The lawyer hired by the hotel arrived as well.

Only then did Fu Chenyan break out in a cold sweat in realization.

Now he was not only facing the risk of being detained but also facing a massive compensation!

Fu Chenyan was deathly pale with fright; he belatedly admitted his mistakes to the hotel manager and the police officers, but it was all to no avail.

The hotel side had made up their minds to make Fu Chenyan pay the price.

All evidence indicated that Fu Chenyan had premeditatedly harassed the guest; as for the "girlfriend" claim, that was just an excuse. The hotel lawyer had already clarified the situation with Zhang Tezhu before arriving.

Zhang Tezhu had specifically instructed the lawyer to seize this opportunity to make Fu Chenyan suffer.

Daring to harass Shu Xia and daring to speak rudely to Qiao, Fu Chenyan had to face the consequences!

To keep his job, the hotel manager ignored Fu Chenyan's pleas for mercy entirely, acting as if he didn't see them.

In the end, Fu Chenyan was not only detained for five days but also had to pay 200,000 in compensation as demanded by the hotel.

Shu Xia learned about this when she woke up the next day.

She didn't have any thoughts on it; Fu Chenyan deserved it.

Seeing Shu Xia's indifferent expression, unconcerned with Fu Chenyan's fate, Qiao Muting curled his thin lips, "I'm taking you out to sea to fish today, and we can go snorkeling too. Are you interested?"

Shu Xia nodded immediately, "Yes!"

Thinking about going out to sea and being able to fish, she was simply looking forward to it!

——

Hospital.

At noon, Song Ziqi, whose condition had stabilized, was transferred to a patient room.

In the room, Zhang Tezhu and a nursing assistant were busy moving about.

Song Ziqi lay on the hospital bed with a somewhat dejected expression, looking toward the door several times, hoping to see the person she wanted to see.

Zhang Tezhu noticed Song Ziqi's actions, but he was smart enough to remain silent.

"Zhang Tezhu, did Brother Mu Ting say when he would come over today? Does he have work to handle?" Song Ziqi couldn't help but ask Zhang Tezhu.

Logically speaking, since Brother Mu Ting told people at the company he was here on a business trip, there shouldn't be any work that would take up his entire day, right?

Although she knew very well that Brother Mu Ting was very busy.

But she really wanted to see Brother Mu Ting.

Zhang Tezhu replied, "Qiao and Miss Shu went out to sea today and shouldn't be back until before dark. Qiao will likely come to the hospital in the evening. Miss Song, please get some good rest; you'll likely see Qiao when you wake up."

"Out to sea..." Song Ziqi's expression changed.

She had been in K City for several years and had only gone out to sea with classmates; Brother Mu Ting had never accompanied her to play, yet now Brother Mu Ting was actually taking Shu Xia out to sea.

"Qiao sent me a message before going out to sea this morning. Miss Song, please rest assured about the matters here at the hospital; I have already arranged everything, and there will absolutely be no problems." Zhang Tezhu pretended not to see Song Ziqi's dejection.

Song Ziqi's complexion was pale from the surgery, and now her lips were even whiter, "Brother Mu Ting is really very good to Sister Shu Xia."

The two of them out at sea...

Absolutely romantic.

It was a romance she envied very much.

Are the two of them that close? Does Brother Mu Ting really like Shu Xia that much?

Zhang Tezhu nodded, "Miss Shu is worth it."

He rarely admired a woman, but Miss Shu was different; Miss Shu was worth it! She saved his life, was very capable, was usually gentle with others, and acted in a low-key manner. He was not surprised at all that his boss had fallen for Miss Shu.
