On the other side, in the living room of Genting Apartments.
Su Qianqian shook the two little braids that Gu Chengyu had braided, feeling quite happy.
I never expected that Young Master Gu would be so skillful.
She rewarded him with a kiss, then curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten, which he accepted without hesitation.
A popular TV show was playing on the television, and a half-eaten fruit platter sat on the coffee table.
Their cozy time together as a couple quietly slipped away.
Gu Chengyu's phone dinged, breaking the silence.

He deliberately ignored the strange feeling in his heart and turned to walk towards the entrance.
