The office door stood ajar, allowing the distant echo of high heels striking the floor to reach Xiao Yichen's ears. Upon recognizing the sound as Bai Lu's, he swiftly stowed away his documents, stood up, grabbed his coat, car keys, and phone, and proceeded toward the door.
Bai Lu lingered by the entrance, catching sight of Xiao Yichen emerging. Unable to enter the office before him, she patiently waited.
"Yichen, have you finished with work?" Bai Lu greeted him with a warm smile.
"Mm," Xiao Yichen replied curtly, paying little heed to Bai Lu's emotions, and headed straight for the elevator.
Upon observing Xiao Yichen's departure, Bai Lu hastened to follow him.
The two exited the East Mansion, and Xiao Yichen drove Bai Lu to an upscale restaurant.
