Wanxia smiled, returned the check to Huo Ran, and didn’t ntion she knew this ’tasteless man’.
Huo Ran shook Wanxia’s arm, "Sister Wanxia, my granddaughter-in-law said there’s a lonely diamond single male god here looking for romance."
Her bright eyes glanced around, seeing only couples everywhere, where was the male god, "Where is he, where is he?"
Wanxia smiled softly, "He had a flight to catch, just left a few minutes ago, if you’d co a little earlier, you could’ve t him."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ran’s anger toward the ’tasteless man’ doubled, and she slumped in her chair, wailing, "Ah, what a pity."
So relationships are destined by heaven.

Evening.
Wanxia and Gu Shaozhi were relaxing on the terrace.
During the day, there were blue skies and white clouds, and the nightti sky sotis had a few stars scattered about.
Wanxia leaned comfortably in the man’s arms and asked, "Isn’t your company busy?"
He’d been here for almost a week, and no assistant or secretary had called him, unlike before when he worked until late at night.
"Busy, of course it’s busy," Gu Shaozhi smirked, his tone lazy and slow, "The company runs daily, with matters big and small enough to keep busy until next year, but... nothing urgent is more important than you, right?"
Well, Mr. Gu certainly knew how to talk.
Wanxia glared at him, teasingly yet not really angry, "Sweet talk."
Since she’s so important, why doesn’t he ntion returning to An City?
Moreover, why not propose?
She was the one who initiated reconciliation; surely she shouldn’t be the one to suggest getting a marriage certificate, making it seem urgent for her to marry him.
"I only sweet talk to you," Gu Shaozhi captured her soft hand before she could pinch his waist, playing with it.
These days he’s been eating and sleeping on ti, feeling quite good, and gained so weight, no longer looking like skin and bones.
Gu Shaozhi slowly rubbed her ring finger, seemingly asking inadvertently, "Where’s the ring?"
Upon hearing those three words, Wanxia couldn’t help suspecting if her inner thoughts just now had been heard by him.
She felt a bit unnatural, but she also had her pride, pretending to look at the silent night sky indifferently, "In the room, find it and it’s yours, if not, forget it."
Gu Shaozhi laughed low and slow, "Didn’t you say you threw it away?"
Wanxia lied smoothly with a straight face, "I picked it back up, okay?"
Five years ago, she indeed threw it away, and later didn’t know how Gu Shaozhi managed to retrieve it.
He strung it on a necklace and gave it to her as a gift.
She wore it only for one night; at that ti, Gu Shaozhi didn’t see anything on her neck for several days and couldn’t help but ask her, to which she nonchalantly said she threw it away.
Actually, she didn’t.
It had always been in her sunglasses case.
When she moved to the Qingshui Bay Villa, she didn’t bring much; a handbag could hold everything. When Yuan Yi delivered the ID and ticket to the hospital that day, the sunglasses case was in the bag.
He must not have gone through her things; otherwise, he should’ve discovered it long ago.
Well, it’s not hard to think so, given Mr. Gu’s temperant.
Wanxia’s excuses, clearly, Gu Shaozhi wouldn’t believe them, "Weren’t you quite annoyed with at that ti, even one look at was too much, and still, you picked up the discarded ring?"
His slender fingers pinched her chin, not letting her avoid it.
In those deep eyes, peeling away the surface smile, Wanxia seed to capture even more complex emotions beneath.
In a low voice, she said, "Not annoyed..."
"Then what?"
The night wind was cool and pleasant.
The man’s warm breath brushed her face, tickling, Wanxia blinked and smiled gently, "You don’t know how charming you are, I’m afraid of repeating past mistakes, so I can’t soften my heart."
The flattery was unmistakable.
Now, at this mont, Gu Shaozhi saw stars in her eyes, sparkling brighter than the stars in the nightti sky.
Just like many years ago.
She stood tipsy in the snow, and after falling into his arms, stared at him without blinking.
She drank a lot, mistook him for soone else, her eyes as clear as water with a glimr, a voice as cold as wind chis by the window gently stirred by the breeze, "Could you ask for a dance?"
His ribs were taken by God at that very mont.
Gu Shaozhi’s pupils flickered slightly, her soft, blushing lips like a feather tickled his heart, and itched a bit.
"Sweet-talking today, huh..."
His Adam’s apple moved, "I want to taste it."
