Hello, who is this?
Gu Baili answered the phone quickly. He lay back down in bed and naturally reached out to put his arm around Rong Shang's waist.
Just then, a gentle female voice came from the phone, "Aren't you Sheng'er?"
"Tell that brat that if he dares to spend the night with Gu Baili, I'll break his legs when he gets back!"
Before Gu Baili could answer the other party's question, a cold and furious roar came through the receiver.
With a sudden jolt, Gu Baili opened his eyes, all his drowsiness vanishing in an instant.
"Zhengmao, Sheng'er must have something urgent to attend to, that's why..."
"An urgent matter? What urgent matter could he possibly have!?"
The sounds of arguing continued in my ears.
Gu Baili was stunned. He took his phone away and saw that the call was from Tang Sheng's mother.
Panicked, he quickly woke Rong Shang.
"What's wrong?" Rong Shang frowned, still in a daze.
Gu Baili shoved the phone into her hand and whispered, "It's your mom, it's your mom on the phone."
uh-huh?
As if caught in the act, Rong Shang immediately gripped her phone and pulled the covers up to sit up in bed.
"Mom, is something the matter?"
...
Because Rong Shang didn't come home last night, Tang Zhengmao went to the training camp this morning to see if she was there. However, he waited in the office until after 10 o'clock but still didn't see Rong Shang. Then he heard from Wen Qing that Gu Baili had also gone missing.
Connecting the two, Tang Zhengmao flew into a rage, believing that Rong Shang's staying out all night was related to Gu Baili.
Fortunately, the phone call in the morning was from Mrs. Tang. Of course, she didn't dare tell Tang Zhengmao that another young man answered the phone.
Rumors about Ke Rongshang and Gu Baili had been circulating for a long time. Now that they had both disappeared, and Tang Zhengmao looked unwell, the gossipy people in the training camp quickly spread the word about them.
Everyone agreed that the two had been secretly together for a long time, and they probably went to a hotel last night.

Since the incident had already occurred, Rong Shang was not afraid. She and Gu Baili had lunch at the hotel before parting ways.
Gu Baili naturally returned to the training camp.
Rong Shang was called out by Tang Tai.
...
In the coffee shop.
Mrs. Tang looked worried. Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, dressed in a white suit, she felt even more guilty towards her daughter.
"Sheng'er, I'm so sorry for all these years."
She robbed her of the happy life that should have been hers.
But... the tone shifted.
Tang Tai grasped Rong Shang's hand, her eyes brimming with tears and showing a hint of difficulty. "Sheng'er, Mom knows you like that Gu Baili, and you want to be with him."
"But your father will definitely not agree to this."
After all, in Tang Zhengmao's heart, Tang Sheng was his only son.
How painful it must be for him to see his son choose to be with another man.
Today, Tang Tai's words were simply meant to make Rong Shang give up on Gu Baili.
Rong Shang knew that Tang Tai didn't actually have any bad intentions; he was just afraid that if he made a mistake, his actions would be exposed.
Left with no other choice, she had to resort to more lies to cover up this falsehood.
Taking a sip of coffee, Rong Shang looked up at the woman opposite her, then gave a nonchalant smile. "Mom, don't you think we shouldn't keep this a secret any longer?"
