C16 (1/2)

An inexplicable sense of loss spread throughout Gu Xiaoyue's heart like a tide, almost drowning her to death.

Xiao Qiu could tell that she was in a bad mood and comforted her at the right time, ”Young Mistress, don't think too much.

With an indescribable profound meaning in his eyes, a blush instantly surfaced on Gu Xiaoyue's face as she unsteadily retorted, ”It's not like I'm disappointed, we'll still meet again tonight anyways.”

Xiao Qiu was startled, and then she let out a laugh that she did not understand, only then did Gu Xiaoyue realize the ambiguous meaning behind her words.

”Don't misunderstand, I mean that he will always come back for dinner tonight. When that time comes, we can meet again.” Afraid that Xiao Qiu had truly misunderstood her, Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly explained to her. Unexpectedly, her actions became even more deprecating.

”I understand, Young Mistress. Don't worry, I won't let my thoughts go awry.” Although she said that, it was no different from emphasizing Gu Xiaoyue's embarrassed look, as Xiao Qiu laughed sinisterly.

He knew that he couldn't explain himself, so he shook his head helplessly and got off the car to enter the villa.

After wandering around for the entire day, Gu Xiaoyue's mind was already exhausted. After resting for a bit, he went upstairs to take a bath.

At this time, Ling Rufeng had just finished taking care of the company's affairs, and before he left, he picked up his jacket from the sofa. He received a call from his brother, Liu Xizhou, who had grown up with him.

Have a drink tonight? You haven't been out for a while. What's the matter? Liu Xizhou started to tease him immediately, causing him to frown in displeasure.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ling Rufeng responded, ”Send me the address.” He didn't wait for the other party to reply and just hung up the phone.

Liu Xizhou could tell that Ling Rufeng didn't seem to be willing to talk about his new wife.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Rufeng thought for a moment, then called home. After hearing the servant's voice, Ling Rufeng's face darkened.

”Tell Young Mistress that I might be back very late tonight, and tell her not to wait for me.”

”Yes, young master.” After the servant replied respectfully, he went upstairs to inform Gu Xiaoyue.

The latter had just finished showering, so after hearing the news, her gaze became somewhat lonely. Then, Gu Xiaoyue sat on her bed in her bedroom in a daze.

Don't you have to wait? However, she had long since gotten used to his company every day. A feeling of loneliness wantonly spread through the room.

After Ling Rufeng hung up the phone, he looked at his phone in a daze for a long time.

The corner of his mouth raised up into a faint smile. Ling Rufeng went downstairs to drive to the address that Liu Xizhou sent him. It was a newly-opened bar.

The owner of the bar was none other than their other companion — Gong Yang. The reason Liu Xizhou called him over today was to celebrate as a good brother.

When Ling Rufeng entered the private box, their vision was already blurred and their bodies were floating in the air. They had already drunk quite a bit and upon seeing their familiar old friends, they staggered up to greet them.

”You finally came. We thought you wouldn't come.” Liu Xizhou complained as he lit up his phone. The dazzling light from the screen made him uncomfortable and he squinted his eyes.

The time displayed on it was exactly the same as what they had agreed on.
