Ye Xingbei stared at her blankly, remaining silent for a long time.
Ye Tao bit her lip, "Sister Beibei, think it over properly. I'll wait for your good news!"
Having said this, she turned and left.
The color drained from Ye Xingbei's face, her gaze distant and unseeing, lost in some unfathomable thought.
Gu Junzhu said nothing, holding her closely as he placed her in the car, finding a comfortable position. Only then did he softly ask, "What's wrong? What did Ye Tao say to you?"
Ye Xingbei closed her eyes, as if she hadn't heard anything, her body icy and slightly trembling.
Gu Junzhu furrowed his brows, holding her even closer and not asking anymore.
Back at the villa, Ye Xingbei rushed directly into the bathroom, taking over an hour before she came out wrapped in a bathrobe.
Gu Junzhu also took a shower and leaned against the bed in his pajamas.
A laptop lay on his knee, yet after more than an hour, he hadn't processed a single file.
