"Sister-in-law," Su Mubai called out to Gu Nanyan, then strutted around with a smirk, raising an eyebrow smugly, "See, I told you my brother was hospitalized. I didn't lie to you!"
Before Gu Nanyan could reply, Su Mubai cheerfully added, "You came to see my brother, didn't you? I won't disturb you lovebirds then, I'll head back first."
Having said that, he continued walking forward with his hands in his pockets.
As he walked past Gu Nanyan, he raised an eyebrow at her as if to say, "I knew you couldn't stay away from my brother. I knew you'd come to see him."
Annoyed by Su Mubai's cockiness, Gu Nanyan's hands remained in her jacket pockets as she kicked him.
"Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed," said Su Mubai.
Then, he walked away, whistling.
By that time, Lu Beicheng had already approached Gu Nanyan.
Noticing her pale face, dressed not in her usual outdoor attire, he asked, "Are you sick too?"
Gu Nanyan, hands still in her pockets, softly replied, "Yeah!"
