Just as he was about to call Dr. David over again, Ji Zhinan, who had been pressing his head down, suddenly hugged his neck tightly, pulled his body down, and offered his lips to him.
Soft lips pressed against his, and even the usually aloof and arrogant Gu Yibei's mind went blank.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Zhinan relented first, staring intently at his delicate features, and smiled faintly: "What a coincidence, I like you too."
The simple seven words stirred up huge waves in Gu Yibei's heart, which was originally quite calm. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with emotion, and his eyes were filled with intense fire.
He held Ji Zhinan tightly in his arms and sealed her sweet little mouth with his own lips.

The following day, ZN Group—
Because of what happened yesterday, Xing Fei didn't go to class today and insisted on coming to the company with Xing Minggao.
"Dad, have we found him yet?" Xing Fei was extremely anxious all night.
Since Gu Yibei took Ji Zhinan away from the venue, the two have disappeared without a trace. Xing Minggao has tried many connections but has not found a single clue.
Xing Minggao shook his head with a headache: "Nobody knows Mr. Gu's residence. I called his assistant, and he just told us not to worry."
Xing Minggao didn't know Gu Yibei at first, but he knew his assistant Bai Chuan. The two had signed a contract before. Based on Bai Chuan's attitude towards Gu Yibei, Xing Minggao could guess that the person who took Nan Nan away was the Gu family, who were cooperating with ZN.
Seeing that her father wasn't paying attention either, Xing Fei frantically grabbed her hair: "I checked Lin Que's schedule, he's been abroad shooting a magazine cover these past few days, I can't get in touch with him at all..."
Bai Chuan refused to reveal anything, and they couldn't contact Lin Que, which made the Xing family extremely anxious.
"Vice Chairman Xing, there's been a problem with our project in the west of the city. The workers suddenly went on strike, complaining that we're not paying them enough wages and they refuse to work..."
"There's also the cooperation with the Zhang Group. It was all set up before, but for some reason, the Zhang Group suddenly changed its mind and cooperated with the Mu Group instead."
"Vice Chairman..."
One bad news after another followed, and soon Xing Minggao's desk was piled high with documents, all of them urgent.
Seeing her father's pale face, Xing Fei asked with concern, "Dad, are you alright...?"
Xing Minggao threw the documents in his hand onto the table and sneered, "Ha!"
"The Cao family only knows how to use these kinds of tricks."
Xing Fei quickly realized that she had offended three powerful families—the daughter of the Cao family, the daughter of the Ji family, and the daughter-in-law of the Mu family—by beating them yesterday, and the three families had joined forces to retaliate.
They've essentially broken ties with ZN openly.
Seeing her father so angry, Xing Fei began to reflect on herself. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Dad, did I do something wrong?"
If she hadn't hit someone in a fit of anger, the company wouldn't be in this mess, with employees causing trouble and business partnerships falling apart...
Xing Minggao looked at his daughter, who was filled with self-reproach, and sighed: "Girl, you did nothing wrong yesterday."
The Cao family's daughter spoke so rudely that if Xing Minggao hadn't been mindful that he was a man and she was a junior, he would have wanted to slap her too.
“You did the right thing. Nan Nan is a good child. Even if she isn’t a child of the Ji family, she is still a child of the Xing family! Anyone who bullies our Xing family’s precious child should be slapped across the face! No matter who she is, just hit her first. If anything happens, Dad will take care of it. Don’t be afraid!”
