Gu Lanshan heard Sheng Shi's voice and immediately remembered her dinner engagement that evening; she perked up, sitting up from the bed. Checking the time and seeing it was still early, she let out a sigh of relief and responded with a "hmm" over the phone.
"Where are you staying now? I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I can take a taxi there myself." Gu Lanshan messed with her hair, got out of bed, and groggily made her way to the bathroom.
"If Lady Ye gets to Jingcheng Hotel before us and sees that we didn't arrive together, especially since it's Saturday, don't you think she'll find that odd?" Sheng Shi's voice was calm and composed, his laid-back tone completely devoid of anxiety as he reasoned, concealing his true eagerness to see Gu Lanshan sooner: "Since you said you're acting, let's be professional about it. Whatever we do, we should do it with all our heart and effort."
