"There is indeed a huge gap between Gu Yibei and me. He has achieved a lot at a young age, while I have achieved nothing so far."
"But I'm still young, right? No one can eat a big fat man in one bite."
"You said there's always a mountain between us, and I'll never be able to climb to the top of that mountain in my lifetime..."
She chuckled softly, "In ancient times, there was a story about Yugong moving the mountain. Since I can't climb over it, I can move it away."
Meeting the woman's slightly stunned eyes, Ji Zhinan spoke word by word, neither hurriedly nor slowly: "I never felt that I was unworthy of Gu Yibei, because I have always been working hard to make myself better."
“…”
This time it was the woman who remained silent.
After drinking the milk that the woman poured for her in one gulp, Ji Zhinan stood up and gave a fairly friendly smile.
"I'm full, and I still have work to do. Please enjoy your meal."
Nodding, Ji Zhinan left the restaurant.
The woman said nothing and watched her leave silently.
Butler He was the one standing nearby and could hear the conversation between the two clearly.
Seeing such an arrogant Miss Ji, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
His lips trembled as he tried to explain for Ji Zhinan: "Ji... Miss Ji has no ill intentions, she..."
"Oh."
The woman laughed out loud.
The corners of her lips grew wider and wider, her face was full of smiles, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
The woman picked up the cup and took a sip of milk, then continued with her breakfast.
Butler He beside him didn't even dare to breathe.
…………
Ji Zhinan was sitting in a taxi, his phone page stopped at the chat page with Gu Yibei.
Ji Zhinan was stunned when he heard the man's words.
Do you care?
How could I not care?
She wanted to know who that elegant woman was more than anyone else.
Unfortunately, she didn't dare to think about it.
Temperament is innate. Although it was the first time she met that woman, she still felt that the woman was different from her.
She is elegant and has a good temperament, and her confidence comes from her bones.
That woman was right, she and Gu Yibei were from the same world.
And I...
What does it matter?
Ji Zhinan held the phone tightly, his eyes dim.
…………
Gu Yibei had a meeting from six in the morning to ten in the morning.
After the meeting, he did not leave the meeting room in a hurry, but sat in his seat and opened WeChat.
His conversation with Ji Zhinan was still focused on the message he had left her in the morning, but she hadn't replied.
After careful consideration, he called Ji Zhinan.
“Beep—beep—”
It took a long time before the call was connected.
"What's up?"
Gu Yibei quickly noticed that Ji Zhinan's tone was off: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." The other side smiled and quickly changed to a relaxed tone: "Is the meeting over?"
"Um."
"Okay, I still have work to do here, so I'll be busy first."
"..." Gu Yibei's expression was unclear: "Okay."
The person on the other end hung up the phone first.
He stared at the phone screen in silence.
For some reason, he felt like something was wrong between him and Ji Zhinan, but he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Bai Chuan hurried over: "Sir, over at the Nine Brocade Platinum Palace..."
After hearing Bai Chuan's report, the man stood up suddenly with a bad look on his face: "Why did you tell me just now!"
"My phone was turned off during the meeting, and I only saw Butler He's call when I turned it on just now..."
Because this matter was very important, not to mention him, even Gu Yibei's phone was turned on airplane mode.
The man rushed out of the meeting room with his phone in hand: "Go home!"
