The next day, Gu Shaoting woke up in a daze, faintly hearing Shu Pan on the phone with Sister Zhang. She asked Sister Zhang to buy some fresh lean meat and make congee, and she said she would pick it up later.

By the time he fully woke up, she had already hung up and returned to his bedside. Seeing him awake, she told him that she would pick up the congee for him later.

Gu Shaoting looked at her for a while before nodding. “Go back and cook it. Make the same congee as before.”

He was indeed hungry. At his grandfather’s birthday banquet the day before, he hadn’t consumed much alcohol, but he had hardly eaten anything. He had drunk on an empty stomach, mixing different types of alcohol altogether. When he sent Tong Fei back, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although the driver was driving, the car was bumpy, so his stomach felt even worse.

He knew it was a recurrence of his gastric ulcer, but he had insisted on having his driver take him home, thinking that a few pills would solve the issue. However, even the heavens seemed to be against him. The medicine bottle was empty. He had taken all the medicine long ago, but because he hadn’t been socializing much and hadn’t been drinking heavily, he had forgotten to restock his medicine at home.

While Shu Pan went home to get the congee, Gu Shaoting called his secretary to inform him that he wouldn’t be coming to the office today. If there were any urgent contracts, he could send them directly to the hospital.

Secretary Zhang was startled by Gu Shaoting’s hoarse voice and hastily asked what had happened. Gu Shaoting explained the situation, but before he could finish, Secretary Zhang asked for the address and said he would come over.

Shu Pan arrived with the congee from home and also prepared a few light dishes for him.

A nurse came to take his temperature. Fortunately, he didn’t have a high fever, but he still needed to continue receiving IV fluids. The nurse reminded him to be cautious with his diet during this time, especially avoiding spicy food and alcohol. Shu Pan noted down all the instructions.

Gu Shaoting received a call from He Ming when Secretary Zhang arrived. At that moment, Gu Shaoting and Secretary Zhang were discussing work matters. The phone was nearby, and when it rang, Gu Shaoting glanced at it and picked it up.

“What’s up?” Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but roll his eyes. It was early morning, and everyone was calling to check on him.

“Hey, what are you doing? Still lost in sweet dreams?” He Ming’s teasing voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“I had a gastric ulcer attack last night. The doctor says I need to stay in the hospital for a few days.” Gu Shaoting didn’t want to say much. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

“You mixed several types of alcohol again, didn’t you? You’re prone to illness when you drink like that,” He Ming muttered.

He had already suffered from drinking like that in the past. There was one time it got really serious, and he ended up vomiting blood due to severe gastric bleeding, which frightened everyone. He had probably drunk too much the previous night.

“Which hospital are you in? I’ll come to see you.” Gu Shaoting gave He Ming the hospital’s name and address before hanging up. He thought he could rest peacefully and recover, but it seemed like one by one, people were coming to visit. There was no chance for a quiet recovery.

After that, he finished talking with Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang looked at

Shu Pan and nodded with a smile. Then he turned to Gu Shaoting and said, “Mr. Gu, take care of yourself. I’ll go back to the company and make sure everything you’ve assigned gets taken care of.”

Gu Shaoting nodded without objection.

As Secretary Zhang left, Shu Pan got up to see him off. When she returned, Gu Shaoting was leaning against the bedside. Although his complexion was a little worn, it didn’t diminish his handsomeness and charm. Despite the morning rounds, IV, and medication, every time a different nurse attended to him. Even when there wasn’t much to do, nurses would often come to check the medical records at the bedside. It was clear how many people were captivated by his charm..
