He Wangyao wholeheartedly agreed: "My boss, whether it's a person or a ghost, will kill anyone who dares to cause trouble, without any hesitation. It's others who are in danger."

Mingzhuo took the thermos and quickly went out the door.

Gu Xu stood inside the half-open door, the indoor light outlining his slender silhouette. He subconsciously took a step outside, but Ming Zhuo walked quickly and had already left the courtyard.

——

As soon as Mingzhuo came out, he noticed the black car parked under a tree not far away.

She glanced at it, ignored it, and continued walking.

"What kind of behavior is this, a young girl out fooling around so late!" A voice suddenly came from the half-open car window.

Mingzhuo possessed extraordinary senses, so he held back and pretended not to hear it, thinking that perhaps the person was just complaining in private.

But the car door was quickly pushed open, and an elderly man with a cane got out of the car and followed her.

This is intolerable; this is not the behavior of a lovable old person.

Mingzhuo suddenly stopped and turned to look at the other person. "Old man, what are you doing following me in the middle of the night?"

"What did you call me?" Xu Zhongkai was stunned.

“Old man,” Mingzhuo stated calmly, feeling that the word “old man” was already quite peaceful.

At least she didn't swear.

Xu Zhongkai: "Who taught you to be so rude? You should at least call me that..."

He paused, then suddenly shut his mouth.

"What should I call you?" Mingzhuo thought for a moment, realizing it probably wasn't the answer he wanted. "Are we that close? Why are you trying to act like my elder right off the bat?"
