Just after Cheng Jinyang hung up the phone, Mu Shuoqian came back, promising he would rush back to have lunch with her, and he kept his word.
Gu Qili picked up her backpack from the bedside and joined him in the elevator.
After dining in the restaurant on the first floor, Mu Shuoqian put down his knife and fork, gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth, and asked her, "Where to this afternoon?"
"I need to visit Yunshan Sanatorium, if you have time..."
"I'll drive you there." He gestured to the waiter to pay the bill.
Gu Qili didn't say much more, her intent was indeed for him to accompany her.
The same driver as earlier came to pick them up, and politely opened the rear car door for Gu Qili, saying, "Miss Gu, please."
"Thank you."
Just as Gu Qili settled in, Mu Shuoqian got in from the other side. The short distance between them and the oppressive aura emanating from him made the already cramped space feel even more stifling.
