gasped for breath, letting go of Gu Chi's mouth, and began to breathe heavily. 。But soon after, Gu Chi continued to hold Cheng Kexin's mouth, tossing and turning. 。"How is it, better now" Gu Chi hooke...Looking at the hesitant look of the clouded leopard, Shangguan Nana pulled on his arm. "Trust me, it's nothing serious. If we really get involved in Enuo's sister's affairs, if nothing happens, that's fine. But if something does happen, even jumping into the Yellow River won't wash away our guilt."

She spoke, humming softly to the bobcat.

Shangguan Nana could be very domineering at times, and most of the time she was independent and didn't rely on others much. So when she leaned against him, almost everything else faded from his mind.

He had once been a soldier, obedience was his duty, but that didn't mean he could meddle in other people's private lives, especially when it came to his sister-in-law.

Zhao Yizhuo glanced at the watch on the wall. It was already 8 p.m., and most of the dishes on the table were almost finished. Basically, it was Ling Chen who was speaking throughout this meal, while she was listening.

He talks about interesting things from his research, the progress of his work, foreign customs and people, and sometimes even brings up past events.

"It's getting late, I should head back now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Chen subconsciously replied, "Huh Then I'll send you."

Zhao Yizhuo suddenly found himself amused: "Professor Ling, didn't you just get off the plane today"

Ling Chen's cheeks flushed, and he heard her say, "I can just rent a car back myself. It's okay."

Ling Chen knew that persisting would only make people feel resentful, so he didn't say anything more. After seeing Zhao Yino into the car, he just stared at the disappearing taillights until the car vanished from his sight.

He understood that the emotions he had suppressed for a year were beginning to stir again, beyond his control.

That taxi had some trouble on the road, and the driver kept apologizing to Zhao Yino, saying he would give her a refund.

Of course, Zhao Yino refused. This industry wasn't profitable to begin with. After several attempts at hailing cars on the street were unsuccessful, she decided to walk home alone.

Walking through the bustling city center, passing by vibrant streets, the night of City M held a touch more mystery than its dawn. Zhao Yino's footsteps followed her gaze as she savored the experience.

She turned the key, and the house was pitch black. From the moment Chen Hao was born, his parents worried that they would neglect him because of their busy work schedules. He suggested taking care of the child himself.

Gu Wang and she naturally wouldn't refuse, so they would proactively go to see the children when they were free.

"He probably isn't back." Zhao Yino muttered to herself, flicking the switch and turning on the light above her head. The bright light was a bit dazzling.

She rubbed her eyes, adjusting to the light afterward, she almost couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Gu Wang was lying face down on the table, his laptop still lit beside him, several windows of spreadsheets and documents open.

He was still wearing a suit, an A4 sheet filled with his notes pressed under his arm. His hair was slightly curled and lacked its usual shine, his listless appearance perfectly mirroring his current state of mind.

Zhao Yino entered the room cautiously, knowing that Gu Wang slept very lightly and could be easily awakened by even the slightest sound.

She quietly took the thin quilt, just about to drape it over his shoulders when a strong hand encircled her from behind. Her footing faltered and she leaned forward, pressing against Gu Wang's body.

"When did you wake up" Zhao Yizhen looked at him, his slightly chestnut eyes still holding a blurry fatigue. Gu Wang's lips relaxed into a smile: "Probably when you opened the door."

"Why are you pretending to be asleep!" Zhao Yino chided, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Her pout in Gu Wàng's eyes was like a kitten acting cute, and his heart instantly softened completely.

Zhao Yizuo's hand was on the table as she prepared to stand up, but Gu Wanhua tightened his grip around her waist. She could feel his breath warm on her head, and his magnetic voice resonated softly: "Hold me for a while longer."

"And remember to turn on the lights when you work later, or working in the dark for a long time will hurt your eyes..."

"And also, remember to get enough rest. Don't think I don't know that you've come up to work several times while I was asleep..."sitting on the beach, looking at the pitch-black seawater. Zhao Yizhen felt a bit lonely and helpless. 。She thought that Gu Wang came here to travel and relax with her, but she didn't expect that he w...
