Chapter 407

"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 that moment.

Next time...

We'll see.

——

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

The hotel demanded compensation from Fu Chenyan, as his actions not only involved harassing a guest but also suspected defamation of their hotel.

The lawyer hired by the hotel arrived as well.

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

Now, he was not only facing the risk of detention but also a massive compensation claim!

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

The hotel had made up its mind 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 save his own 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 required by the hotel.

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

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

Seeing Shu Xia's indifferent expression and her lack of concern for 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. Interested?"

Shu Xia nodded immediately, "Yes!"

Thinking about going out to sea and fishing, 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 aide were busy moving about.

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

Zhang Tezhu noticed Song Ziqi's actions, but he wisely said nothing.

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

Logically speaking, since 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 Mu Ting was very busy.

But she really wanted to see Mu Ting.

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

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

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

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

The two of them out to sea...

Absolutely romantic.

It was a kind of romance she envied deeply.

Are their feelings really that good? Does 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 had saved his life, was very capable, was usually gentle with others, and kept a low profile in her actions. He was not at all surprised that his boss had fallen for Miss Shu.
