Luo Shi smiled politely: "No need. Gu Shao and I are both businessmen, and we'll cross paths sooner or later. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

Since he had said so, Maureen had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll definitely come again when I have time."

"Okay." Luo Shi nodded in agreement.

"Qiqi, see the guest out."

Maureen's personal maid respectfully said to Luo Shi, "Young Master Luo, this way please."

Luo followed Qiqi away from the main castle.

Walking briskly down the road with long legs, Luo Shi suddenly felt a gaze. He stopped and turned to look at the towering buildings behind him. After only a quick glance around, his gaze locked onto a certain spot.

Ji Zhinan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room. She had changed into a comfortable set of home clothes. A set of table and chairs was placed next to her, and the cup of black tea on the small table was still steaming.

Her slender, delicate hands rested on the window, her bright, dark eyes gazing outwards.

Although there was a long distance between them, she was looking at him, and he saw her too.

Luo Shi couldn't see her expression clearly, but for some reason, his sixth sense told him that she was definitely looking at him.

With an elegant smile, Luo Shi nodded slightly to her as a greeting before turning and leaving.

Ji Zhinan was stunned when she saw him greeting her. By the time she came to her senses, Luo Shi had already left with Qi Qi.

She turned her head, sat back on the soft sofa, and took a sip of the black tea in front of her while lost in thought.

【aunt! 】

What are you doing here?

Young Master Luo is Madam's guest...

She picked up the mirror on the table and carefully examined her facial features.

Young Master Luo... Aunt?

……………

A broad, warm embrace pulled Ji Zhinan into his arms. Gu Yibei's long arms held her tightly in his embrace. He lowered his head and buried his face in her neck, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her. His brows relaxed, and the fatigue on his face eased considerably.

Ji Zhinan remained quiet and obediently let him hold her. The two stayed quietly like this for about five minutes. When she felt Gu Yibei raise his head, Ji Zhinan turned her head to face him.

Because of the height difference, Ji Zhinan could only see his face by looking up.

Gu Yibei lowered his head, his handsome face magnified in front of her, his eyes fixed on her cherry-like lips, and suddenly, he covered them with his thin lips.

The warm touch landed on her lips, and Ji Zhinan slightly raised her head, her beautiful black eyes half-closed.

After kissing her for the entire day, Gu Yibei reluctantly let go of her.

Ji Zhinan raised his hand, wanting to touch his face.

Although she is not short at 168 cm, she looks like a dwarf next to Gu Yibei, who is over 190 cm tall. Even with long arms, it is still a bit difficult for him to lift her up.

Gu Yibei put his hands around her waist and lifted her up with a forceful movement.

Next to them was Ji Zhinan's dressing table. He lifted her to sit on the dressing table, and then casually pulled over the matching chair to sit down as well, so that the two of them were almost at eye level.

She stroked his thick eyebrows with her fingertips, and looking at the exhaustion on Gu Yibei's face, she felt extremely distressed: "Are you very busy with work?"

He had already left when she woke up today, and he only returned as darkness fell.

In other words, he was busy around the scenes all day.

He grabbed the hand that was groping his face and kissed it. As long as he could see her, no hardship mattered to him.
