Chương 141: Good Taste

Zhou Ci's eyes sparkled as he straightened up. "Thank you, Miss Gu Dai."

Gu Dai nodded, gracefully accepting Zhou Ci's gratitude. "You've apologized, you can leave now."

Zhou Ci paused, surprised at the abrupt dismissal.

After he regained his composure, he leaned closer to Gu Dai. "Miss Gu, we've known each other for many years. Don't you think we can at least be considered friends? Won't you invite me in?"

Gu Dai cast a sidelong glance at him. "We've known each other for a long time, true, but our relationship has never extended beyond that. I wouldn't say we're friends."

Zhou Ci felt as if he'd been stabbed. With a victimized look, he whispered, "Fair enough, I was presumptuous. But it's okay. Even if we're not friends now, I believe we'll become friends in the future."

Sighing softly, Gu Dai reconsidered her initial resistance to him, especially given his recent apology. "Alright, come in."
