The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Gu Xiuyu looked back again, "There's a good restaurant ahead. I've already made a reservation."
Did he tell her after making the reservation to ask for her opinion or to inform her?
Ye Ziyu's gaze drifted out the window, still offering no reply. The colder she acted, the more Gu Xiuyu would focus his attention on her, rather than thinking about harming Di Mingjue.
The red light turned green, and Gu Xiuyu continued driving forward.
He didn't ask Ye Ziyu again and drove for a short while before parking directly in a spot in front of the restaurant.
Ye Ziyu looked at the parked cars beside them, listening as Gu Xiuyu unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door to get out.
Everything unfolded as she had predicted. The car door in front of her was pulled open from the outside.
"Ziyu, we're here." Gu Xiuyu bent down and gently reached to unbuckle Ye Ziyu's seatbelt.
With such an intimate gesture, how could Ye Ziyu allow him to do it? She twisted her body to the side, evading his hand, and unbuckled her own seatbelt.
"Let's go. You must be hungry after all this trouble," Gu Xiuyu stepped back, creating space for Ye Ziyu.
From last night until now, Ye Ziyu hadn't had a drop of water or a bite of food. Gu Xiuyu knew best why this was the case.
Facing his current feigned attentiveness and care, Ye Ziyu felt disgusted and nauseous. Since when did villains have kind hearts?
As they entered the restaurant, a waiter approached them, "Welcome. Two?"
"We have a reservation," Gu Xiuyu replied.
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately took out his store phone from his pocket, "Sir, could you please tell me the last four digits of your phone number? I'll check where your table is."
"4449."
"Mr. Gu?"
"Yes."
"This way, please."
The waiter put away his phone and led them inside.
The reserved table was by the window, offering a clear view of the intersection opposite.
Seeing Gu Xiuyu pull out a chair for her, Ye Ziyu deliberately said, "I need to go to the restroom."
"Miss, the restroom is straight ahead, then turn left before the greenery," the waiter quickly informed her.
There were signs on the restaurant floor. Ye Ziyu didn't care if Gu Xiuyu agreed or not and went to the restroom on her own.
She didn't want to sit face-to-face with him, nor did she want to give him the chance to show how much he loved her.
Ye Ziyu entered a private stall, sat on the toilet, and took out her phone. She wanted to know the situation at the hospital.
Her call to Shen Lin went unanswered, so she called Ye Chenhan again.
After they left, Di Mingjue showed no further adverse symptoms in his ward. Ye Chenhan and Yu Xixi sat beside him, worried and anxious.
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang, startling Ye Chenhan, who almost stood up. He took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and immediately answered.
"Ziyu, where did you go? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Did Mingjue vomit blood again, or did something else happen to him?"
Hearing Ye Chenhan's anxious questions, Ye Ziyu straightened her back, a sense of fear creeping in.
If Di Mingjue truly experienced something more severe than vomiting blood, the doctors at the hospital would be unable to treat him.
Ye Chenhan looked at the sleeping Di Mingjue and quickly explained, "No, I was worried about you. You've been out for so long, what exactly were you doing? I asked Assistant Shen to follow you, did you see him?"
"Assistant Shen hasn't gone back yet?" Ye Ziyu became even more nervous.
He held the antidote Gu Xiuyu had given him. Although she didn't know if it was the real antidote, nothing could go wrong with it.
Seeing that Ye Chenhan was becoming increasingly uneasy, Yu Xixi snatched the phone from him, "Sister Ziyu, don't worry. Chenhan and I are at the hospital, so you can rest assured and do what you need to do."
