Chapter 163: Stay

Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This group of people had come to visit Gu Chen, and although Xu Yuan sounded as if he were worried, they didn’t believe the rumors at all.

Gu Chen’s intelligence alone surpassed the combined intellect of the few who had gathered there. It was impossible that he could be hunted down and killed.

So, their arrival had a playful element, with hopes of teasing Gu Chen.

However, what they hadn’t expected was to find Song Fan there, looking even worse off than Gu Chen.

While Gu Chen appeared pale with his injuries hidden beneath his clothing, Song Fan had visible bandages on her arms and legs.

Xu Yuan quickly supported Song Fan and suggested, “Why don’t you lie down? You shouldn’t be standing.”

When he said this, he glanced at Gu Chen, who immediately sat up and let Xu

Yuan Song Fan move to the bed.

“I’m heading home. There’s no need for me to stay here any longer,” Song Fan insisted.

Xu Yuan hesitated, unsure whether to help her stand or not. Su Yang chimed in, “Miss Song lives alone outside, and there’s no one to take care of you. It’s better for you to stay here.”

Xu Yuan caught on to the hint and nodded, saying, “Exactly. It’s inconvenient for you to walk like this, so it’s best not to return home. Stay here with Gu Chen to recover.”

Although he outwardly portrayed concern, in reality, he was ecstatic. This presented an excellent opportunity for Gu Chen to slowly cultivate feelings with Song Fan. Regardless, he had to ensure she stayed.

The others seemed to share the same sentiment as they gathered around Song

Fan, urging her to remain. Qi Shuo even brought up business matters, saying, “The court case will take some time. It would be more convenient for us to discuss things if you stay here.”

Song Fan didn’t understand their intentions but attempted to decline, saying, “It’s okay for me to go home alone. Besides, I still have work. This place is quite far from my workplace.”

“We can arrange for your leave of absence, and you’ll still receive your salary even if you stay at home,” Xu Yuan assured her confidently. This was a minor matter for him in A City.

Song Fan wasn’t working solely for the salary, and she intended to say so but was interrupted by Xiao Lei, who added, “Miss Song, it would be better for you to stay here. After all, the ‘Future City’ competition is approaching. It would be more convenient for us to discuss strategies together. This time, all the servers are competing as one, and we can’t afford to lose reputation in front of international players.”

This reason struck a chord with Song Fan. ‘Future City’ was a game she had single-handedly created, and she ranked first in the entire server. Losing would be a tremendous embarrassment.

Upon seeing that Song Fan was swayed, Xu Yuan immediately proposed, “We’ll set up a gaming room for you right away with the latest gaming equipment.

You can play to your heart’s content.”

Song Fan readily agreed, saying, “I’ll stay!”

After seeing how she was swayed by the idea of a game room, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say. He had promised her anything, but it seemed that he needed to adapt his approach to communicate with her in the future.

Xu Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment for his efforts driven by brotherly love, and he glanced at everyone proudly.

Meanwhile, Fu Nian couldn’t help but sigh incessantly. He couldn’t shake off the rumors and the interactions he had witnessed between Song Fan and Gu Chen over this period. It felt like something was blocking his heart.

When Old Master Fu returned from his walk and noticed Fu Nian’s troubled expression, he inquired, “What’s bothering you so much?”

Fu Nian, who usually spent most of his time in the piano room and later joined his family for conversation, didn’t typically appear troubled. This was the first time Old Master Fu had seen his grandson looking so forlorn.

Fu Nian wasn’t sure where to start but decided to ask, “Grandpa, do you think the rumors about Song Fan and Gu Chen are true?”

Old Master Fu didn’t anticipate this question, but as someone who had experienced a similar situation, he immediately grasped Fu Nian’s concerns. He inwardly lamented that his grandson had been stubborn back then, leading to the annulment of the engagement with Song Fan.

Had he not caused such a fuss at the time, he could have been playing chess with Song Fan every day, and things wouldn’t be like this.

He picked up his walking stick and lightly tapped Fu Nian on the head, saying, “Whether it’s true or not has no bearing on you. Even if she were to get married tomorrow, what could you do?”

Fu Nian wrinkled his brow upon hearing the word ‘marriage.’ “No, Song Fan won’t get married now.”

Old Master Fu’s heart ached when he saw his grandson’s state. He advised, “If you care so much, why don’t you talk to her directly?”

Fu Nian lowered his head, admitting, “I don’t dare to face Song Fan..”
