The gathering between the two ended unhappily. Gong Ning pretended to be sullen and refused to speak to Gong Xiangru again, slamming the door and leaving arrogantly.

Ah Lin was so impressed by Gong Ning's acting skills that he threw a tantrum in front of her, shouting, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Ah Lin wants to learn Your Highness's acting skills too! Your Highness, Your Highness~~~"

Gong Ning scratched its increasingly rounded chin. "A-Lin, have you gained weight?"

Ah Lin [...]

【Your Highness, A-Lin wants to learn~~~】A-Lin swayed her little waist and acted coquettishly, the jade-like figure in emerald green eagerly radiating light all over.

Gong Ning playfully lifted A Lin's chin. "Alright, come on, dance a little to liven things up. If you dance well, I'll teach you when I'm in the mood, how about that?"

A-Lin: […A-Lin sells his body, not his art!]

Gong Ning: "..."

Miss Gong returned to Xingzhan Garden in a good mood. Seeing Aunt Rong and the maids busy in the kitchen, she turned her head and looked at the quiet second floor. She stroked her chin thoughtfully, then turned and ran to ask Butler An, "Uncle Butler, has Yan Jingzhou returned?"

Butler An bowed respectfully. "Miss, the master called earlier and said he has business at the company and will be back very late tonight. He asked you not to wait for him!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Ning pouted and said nothing more. She smiled sweetly at Butler An and went upstairs.

This story dates back to a few days ago. Gong Ning, who had regained her energy, couldn't stay idle. She happened to come across an interesting short video. While Yan Jingzhou was at work, she encouraged Aunt Rong, Butler An, and everyone at Xingzhan Garden to prepare to stage an annual amnesia drama.

The original plan was for everyone to pretend not to remember Yan Jingzhou, making him think he had some incurable disease. However, after thinking about it carefully for a few seconds, Gong Ning realized that given Yan Jingzhou's intelligence and mind, the plan was not very feasible and would most likely be exposed.

Later, Gong Ning made the decision that she would pretend to have amnesia, and Aunt Rong and the others would cooperate.

The event went exceptionally smoothly that day. After she feigned confusion and asked him, "Who are you?" Yan Jingzhou's expression immediately changed, which startled Gong Ning. In that moment of stunned silence, Yan Jingzhou saw through her act and exposed her.

Then he started sulking and ignoring her like a young wife. He'd been leaving early and returning late for several days in a row, and the two of them hadn't seen each other at all.

Later, Gong Ning thought about it and realized that she had gone a bit too far. She had already suffered from amnesia once before, and Yan Jingzhou must have thought that her old illness had relapsed.

So, after her previous attempt to push her boyfriend to his limits, Gong Ning failed again. She felt that the video app was toxic and uninstalled it in front of Yan Jingzhou with great resentment. Unfortunately, he was heartless and didn't even give her a glance.

The oppressive aura emanating from him clearly told her that he was in a bad mood and it was best not to provoke him.

Gong Ning recalled those days when her legs were so weak she couldn't get out of bed, and decisively put into practice the principle of being a wise person who knows when to yield, she timidly slipped away.

I took out my phone and checked the time. It was six o'clock in the afternoon, almost dinner time. Yan Jingzhou still wasn't back. Was he still angry?

Hmph, she didn't believe that company affairs were holding him back.

After thinking for a long time while resting her chin on her hand, Gong Ning decisively made the call.

In fact, Gong Ning had misunderstood. Yan Jingzhou was in a meeting at the time, so when the phone on the table rang with the song "Honey, your baby is calling, henoyheooy, your baby is calling...", the meeting room fell into an eerie silence.

Yan Jingzhou's brow twitched, and his gaze paused slightly...
