After seeing Aron off, Gu Ye instructed Zhou Yue to drive to Xifu Haitang.
Zhou Yue immediately understood, “We’re going to pick up Miss Rong, right? Don’t worry, sir, I’ll keep it a secret.”
Gu Ye, “…”
Now that you’ve said that, I’m actually worried.
Gu Ye leaned back comfortably in his seat. Although he wasn’t afraid of Zhou Yue reporting to Gu Qin Yi, things between him and that woman hadn’t even started yet.
What if his sister scared her off?
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared in Gu Ye’s dark eyes. He was probably worrying too much. Given that woman’s personality, his sister would likely just pack her up and deliver her straight to his home.
Zhou Yue glanced at the smile overflowing from Gu Ye’s eyes in the rearview mirror. Sir still won’t admit it. Every time he goes to see Miss Rong, his happiness is practically written all over his face.
Zhou Yue only dared to think this to himself. Normally, he wouldn’t dare say it out loud. What if he accidentally got fired? Where would he go to cry then?
Rong Yi was in an excellent mood at the moment, her bright and beautiful face beaming with a smile as she stood in front of her wardrobe picking out clothes.
Seeing Rong Yi so happy, Guoguo couldn’t help but ask, “Sis, are you going out later?”
“Yes.”
“The weather has gotten colder lately. When I went out to remove the bandage today, it seemed windy. Sis, you should wear more,” Guoguo reminded her.
Rong Yi bit her lower lip thoughtfully. It’s windy, huh? Then I’ll wear something a bit thicker.
Rong Yi reached out and took a gray draped-neck fitted top with a V-neck design at the chest, which would beautifully accentuate her elegantly shaped collarbone.
“How about this one?”
Guoguo nodded emphatically, teasing, “Sis, you look good in anything, but this one really shows off your figure~”
Rong Yi curved her lips without replying. That was exactly the effect she wanted.
“Alright, go out now. Your sis needs to change~”
Guoguo, holding Fa Cai, leaned against the doorframe and said with a grin, “Can I apply to stay and watch?”
During a previous work trip, Guoguo had the good fortune to soak in a hot spring with Rong Yi. Rong Yi wore an extremely hot bikini that completely stunned Guoguo, who spent the whole evening staring at her.
That figure—curves in all the right places, a true human masterpiece. Not an ounce too much, not an ounce too little. Guoguo couldn’t understand how Rong Yi could be so slim yet have everything in all the right places.
Looking down at her own figure, Guoguo sighed… Comparing yourself to others is just depressing.
Rong Yi slightly curved her red lips, like a bewitching enchantress, and slowly walked over to Guoguo. She reached out and lifted Guoguo’s chin with her finger.
Her voice was both seductive and teasing, “Be good~ Go out now.”
With that, she gently pushed Guoguo out the door with a backhand motion.
Coming to her senses, Guoguo realized she had been bewitched again. She turned and called out pitifully toward the door, “Sis~ You’re so mean!”
Inside the room, Rong Yi was busy changing and didn’t respond to Guoguo’s words.
Su Ying, who was handling work outside, heard Guoguo and said with a laugh, “Guoguo, how many times has she tricked you like this? Why do you fall for it every time?”
Guoguo pouted and walked over to sit on the sofa, “Ying, please don’t say anymore…”
She didn’t want to be like this every time either. It was just that Rong Yi’s face was too mesmerizing.
A moment later, Rong Yi emerged wearing a gray draped-neck fitted top paired with dark smoke-gray flared pants that reached her ankles.
The injured foot had just had its bandages removed today, and after being wrapped up for half a month without seeing the sun, it appeared somewhat pale and slightly mismatched with the fair skin around the ankle.
So, Rong Yi put on a rose gold ankle bracelet, a simple design with just a small gold bead pendant hanging from the chain.
She walked over to the jewelry stand and picked out a pair of earrings in the same color to wear.
As she was about to leave, passing by the transparent cabinet holding wristwatches, Rong Yi paused, turning her gaze thoughtfully toward the Patek Philippe placed to the side.
Su Ying glanced at the time on her notebook—it had already been an hour since Rong Yi closed the door to change, and she still hadn’t come out.
“Why hasn’t Rong Yi come out after so long?” she asked, then turned to Guoguo. “Do you know what your sister is going to do later?”
Guoguo shook her head. “She only said she was going out on a date, not who with.”
Suddenly remembering something, Guoguo sat up from the sofa, her round eyes widening as she exclaimed to Su Ying, “Could it be that Sister is going on a date with a man? When did she get a romantic interest?”
Su Ying cleared her throat lightly—now she knew who Rong Yi was going out to meet.
She hesitated, unsure how to explain everything to Guoguo. After all, she herself only had a vague understanding of Rong Yi and Gu Ye’s situation, let alone explaining it to someone else.
However, the only thing she was certain of was that Rong Yi and Gu Ye were definitely in the ambiguous stage!
Rong Yi finally emerged from the walk-in closet, and Fa Cai immediately went up to her, circling around her excitedly.
“Fa Cai~” Rong Yi crouched down, patting Fa Cai’s head as she said, “Mommy is going to see Daddy now. You stay home and play with your sisters, okay? Be good.”
“Meow~!” It wanted to go out and play too!
Rong Yi picked up Fa Cai and walked toward the living room. “Ying, I’m leaving Fa Cai with you. I won’t be back for dinner tonight. Do you want me to bring something back, or will you handle it yourselves?”
Su Ying raised an eyebrow teasingly. “Finally decided to come out, huh?”
She gave Rong Yi’s outfit a once-over, secretly marveling at how every detail was carefully thought out.
Maybe it’s better not to be in a relationship at all.
Rong Yi smiled faintly in response. “If I didn’t come out, how could I go out~?”
Seeing this, Guoguo immediately stepped forward, crossing her arms and asking, “Sister, is there something going on that I don’t know about? I feel like you’re keeping secrets from me!”
Rong Yi shot a pleading look at Su Ying, who gave her a “you’re on your own” expression, leaving her to handle it herself.
Just then, Rong Yi’s phone chimed. Without checking it, she first explained to Guoguo that she was in a bit of a hurry and would tell her everything in detail when she got back.
Immediately after, she grabbed her bag, stepped into her black Valentino flat shoes with pointed toes and a V-shaped buckle, and rushed out the door, completely ignoring Guoguo’s persistent questions.
Su Ying looked at the poor Guoguo and sighed, calling her back. “Guoguo, come over here. Don’t just stand there—I’ll tell you.”
Hearing this, Guoguo perked up immediately, turning around and sitting properly on the sofa, looking like a model student ready to listen.
“Ying, I’m ready. Go ahead.”
Su Ying, “…” No need to be so formal.
Meanwhile, Rong Yi, who had rushed out, entered the elevator and patted her racing heart. Time was tight—she really didn’t have the time to deal with Guoguo’s curious mind.
She opened her bag, took out her phone, and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a message from Gu Ye.
Tell her that he’s already downstairs and has plenty of time, so she doesn’t need to rush and can take her time getting ready.
Truly the epitome of a gentleman.
However, he may not be in a hurry, but Rong Yi certainly is.
As they say, a day apart feels like three years—by that count, it’s been ages since they last saw each other, so of course she can’t wait.
