Su Ming didn't wake the boss lady; he knew she must be exhausted. Unaware of how many days and nights he'd been in a coma, he realized she was so tired she'd fallen asleep right by his bedside!

Su Ming wanted to check his phone to see the time and how many days had passed, but the boss lady suddenly stirred, waking up and lifting her head.

The moment she opened her eyes, Su Ming noticed they were red. Obviously, she'd been crying. Seeing him awake, she was both nervous and delighted as she asked, "Su Ming, how do you feel? You must be in a lot of pain, right?"

After asking, she shed more tears and said, "What a silly question I asked; of course you're in pain!"

Seeing the boss lady moved to tears for him, Su Ming felt a surge of emotion and gently said, "I'm not in pain. Not at all!"

"Really?" Her eyes brightened upon hearing his words, but she soon shook her head and said, "You've been unconscious for days. How could you not be in pain? Don't pretend, alright?"

The boss lady then went on to curse, "That Zhang Biao is so ruthless. He was trying to have those brutes beat you to death. If you weren't skilled, you'd have..."

As she spoke, tears fell again, and she couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence.

"I was too naive back then; I should have reported his assaults and had him spend the rest of his life in prison!" she said regretfully.

Su Ming laughed and said, "Boss lady, have you heard this saying?"

"What saying?" she asked, a bit curious.

"Everyone must take responsibility for their actions. If everything could be forgiven, then all the suffering would be deserved!" Su Ming expressed this profound truth.

"True, everyone must take responsibility for what they do. There's always something detestable about the pitiful," the boss lady agreed.

"So, after all those wrongdoings, the boss lady must not forgive Zhang Biao!" Su Ming feared she might show leniency, knowing that if she did, everything would be ruined!

"Don't worry, I definitely won't soften!" she said resolutely.

"Where did Auntie and Jiajia go?" Su Ming asked again.

"My mom went back, and Jiajia was taken back to Fucheng by that pervert Liu Ruili!" she sighed.

Su Ming felt a bit down upon hearing this, as he still liked Zeng Jia and Jiang Qingyao.

"Are you upset?" she remarked, noticing the look in Su Ming's eyes.

Su Ming, of course, wouldn't admit it and quickly said, "Not at all, I'm quite happy!"

Understanding, she explained, "Jiajia was forced away by Liu Ruili, otherwise she surely would've stayed to accompany you!"

"Oh." Su Ming answered, sounding a bit listless.

She said, "It's not like you can't meet her again. Jiajia messaged me saying she'll be back again next year!"

"Alright then!" Su Ming nodded, no longer feeling down, and said, "You're the best to me; I'll treat you well for the rest of my life!"

The boss lady rolled her eyes and teased, "Just now you were thinking about your Jiajia; then you say you'll treat me well forever. Is this how you do it?"

"Well, men are often a bit sentimental," Su Ming excused himself with a poor justification!

"You, your body is just too sturdy!" she replied, though seemingly not annoyed, a hint of jealousy lingered in her tone!

"Boss lady, how long have I been in a coma?" Su Ming wanted to change the subject, not wanting to dwell on awkward topics.

"You've been unconscious for three days and nights, with sixteen stitches on your head. Luckily, it's only a minor concussion and not a cerebral hemorrhage," she said with a hint of lingering fear.

"Well, I'm trained as a special forces soldier; I won't easily get a severe concussion!" Su Ming chuckled.

"You, still able to laugh at a time like this!" she said, with a touch of fondness!

"With such a lovely lady accompanying me, of course, I have to smile," he quipped.

"Always with the silver tongue—you're such a nuisance!" she said coyishly!

Su Ming then asked, "How do you plan to resolve things with Zhang Biao?"

"I've filed for divorce!" she stated.

Su Ming was suddenly shocked, saying, "Ah! If you really divorce Zhang Biao, Shen Group might collapse, and Zhang Biao might become desperate!"

"I can't worry about that now. If Shen Group falls, it falls—that's fine. I have enough savings for a comfortable retirement," she replied, revealing her inner thoughts, even sharing her financial status with Su Ming, showing she considered him her most trusted person!

Su Ming responded, "We can't let Zhang Biao off that easily!"

"Of course not! No more municipal projects for him from now on. As for the company, I'll have my dad try to save it," she replied.

"That's good." Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling things were moving in a positive direction!

She then added, "You fought those thugs to protect us that day, didn't you?"

Su Ming confidently responded, "Absolutely, Zhang Biao intended to record me with you and wanted Jiajia and Auntie too—I would fight to the death to stop him!"

"You truly are a man of valor!" she praised.

"Yeah, you really know how to speak sweetly, and I like hearing it!" Su Ming said with a grin, gazing at her crimson lips!

The boss lady immediately got his meaning, blushing and said, "You've just recovered; don't have any wild thoughts!"

"No, I want to kiss you," Su Ming said affectionately.

"Alright then." She grew shy and gave Su Ming a swift, light peck on the lips.

Su Ming felt the tender softness was too fleeting, leaving him slightly wistful!

After some more idle chat, Su Ming felt an urgent need to urinate and awkwardly said, "Boss lady, I need to pee?"

"There's no bathroom in this room, and you're on a IV drip," she was troubled.

"Could you buy a urinal for me?" Su Ming asked gently.

"Alright," she agreed.

Then she went downstairs to buy a urinal!

A few minutes later, she returned with a brand new urinal, blushing as she said, "Handle it yourself, and I'll dispose of it when you're done!"

"Okay," Su Ming responded, taking the urinal, intending to deal with it himself, but found he couldn't unbuckle his belt with one hand!

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Boss lady, could you help me? I can't undo my belt!"

"Alright," she said, her face growing even redder as she reached out to help him with the belt!
