The situation had developed to such an extent that even if Shen Xian wasn't proactive, Gu Chen was determined to investigate thoroughly.
Yu Yang considerately stayed in the car while Shen Xian led Gu Chen upstairs.
Gu Chen followed behind Shen Xian and could clearly see that her steps were unsteady. She was barely able to walk on her own by holding onto the handrail.
Whenever she stumbled slightly, Gu Chen's hand was already protectively extended behind her.
However, it seemed Shen Xian didn't need his support. Soon she straightened her back and continued to climb the stairs with an air of resilience.
"She's really stubborn," Gu Chen thought to himself.
They quickly arrived at the entrance to Shen Xian's home. This time, unlike before, she didn't hesitate. She stood at the door, took out her keys from the bag, and unlocked it.
Gu Chen stood a step or two away, silently watching her smooth actions.
"Please come in, Mr. Gu."
