Factory Director Gu and his mother were also preoccupied with Gu Yifei's affairs and had no mood to entertain guests, so they smiled and agreed without trying to persuade him to stay.

So, the six people and their two families said a simple goodbye at the entrance of "Weixiangju" and went their separate ways.

Gu Jingran took his parents back to his residence in Jiangcheng, intending to let them rest for a while.

At the same time, Ye Linchen also ended his "sweep" of the commercial street.

She was carrying a carefully selected gift for Gu Jingran's parents, and in her mind, she was planning the dinner party that evening.

After grabbing a quick lunch at a fast food restaurant in the city center, Ye Linchen took the bus home to rest and recharge for the evening.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Linchen's pager on the table went off.

She reached out and took it, her heart skipping a beat for no reason.

A line of text appeared on the small screen, sent by Gu Jingran: "Departed, on the way."

Ye Linchen stood up from the sofa, walked to the dressing mirror, and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

The cheeks reflected in the mirror were flushed with excitement.

The thought of seeing Gu Jingran soon and formally meeting his parents filled her with a joyful feeling that she couldn't stop.

Ye Linchen glanced at the clock again, estimating that they should be arriving around the same time since they came from their residence.

She put on her coat, picked up the two paper bags on the chair, turned around, opened the door, and walked down the concrete stairs.

Just as I reached the entrance of the dormitory area, a familiar car engine sound came from afar, and a gleaming black Santana came to a stop at the entrance.

The driver's side door opened, and Gu Jingran strode out of the car.
