Kuroda Shigeo brought in tea meant to calm the mind and promote sleep, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the strange look on Kuroda's face.
"Is there... a problem with this letter?"
"no problem."
Gu Siting put away the letter and locked it in the safe under his desk.
There has been no news from that person, nor has he shown up.
He almost thought he would never see him again, nor would he ever hear from her again.
He even doubted whether he had been tricked, and whether the nine-eyed dzi bead had any magical power at all.
Therefore, that person will never appear again to tell him where she is in this world.
Although the letter came a little late, it still put his mind at ease.
At least let him know that his waiting has an end, and that in the end, he will get the result he wants.
Kuroda Shigeo put down the calming tea and asked with a smile.
"Is it the person you're looking for? Any news?"
"Yes, there's news."
Gu Siting picked up his teacup and took a sip; the gloom that had been hanging over him for days finally lifted from his brow.
Kuroda Shigeo was stunned. The letter from the owner of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead said... that everything might be true?
Although he found it unbelievable, he knew it wasn't a question he should ask out of curiosity.
"Then...should we still arrange for someone to look for them?"
Gu Siting remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before speaking.
"Keep looking."
Kaman Dorrance had been keeping an eye on him, probably because of that Mr. Gu.
He didn't want him to find Vivi again, and if he ordered the search to stop now, Kaman Dorrance's men would definitely notice.
So, the search continues, but it's all for show, to make his people think there's still no news.
In that case, when that person comes to meet him, it won't attract too much attention.
"Yes," Kuroda Shio nodded in response.
Just as the two finished speaking, there was a knock on the study door.
Kuroda Shigeo opened the door, and Ling Yan entered carrying two slices of cake, speaking gently with a smile.
"Brother Siting, I bought your favorite chiffon cake."
Gu Siting stared blankly at the cake on the plate for a moment, but instead of eating it, he picked up the documents that Kuroda Shigeo had brought back and started reading them.
That chiffon cake wasn't something he liked to eat; it was something Weiwei liked to eat when she was little, and he often bought it for her. Over time, he just started to like it because of her.
Ling Yan stood to the side, seeing that he didn't seem to want to eat, and asked softly with her lips pursed.
"Brother Siting, I went out of my way to buy this for you. Would you like to have some?"
Gu Siting looked down at the document, but asked a question.
"When are you finally going to move back to the Ling family home?"
"I won't go back, and I won't break off our engagement." Ling Yan's eyes reddened with grievance.
He proposed annuling the engagement, but she did not agree.
But if she leaves here and returns to the Ling family, wouldn't that mean she agrees to dissolve the engagement?
“Even if you stay here, you will never become Mrs. Ling,” Gu Siting said coldly.
There was not a trace of Weiwei in her.
"Brother Siting, what's wrong with you? What did I do wrong? You just want to break off the engagement like that?" Ling Yan said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Gu Siting didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to speak while engrossed in processing company documents.
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I've realized I shouldn't have married you."
He once thought that with her, he could forget her.
However, it turned out that he couldn't do it.
