Li Shengxiao walked back to his office, picked up the clothes draped over his chair, and while striding out, he said, âWhere are you? Iâll come pick you up!â
Rong Yan glanced at the address and reported it to him.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shengxiao said a quick word to Gu Ming outside and then left.
Having finished the call, Rong Yan returned to Gu Linxiâs side, picked up her bag, and with a face full of guilt, she told Gu Linxi, âXixi, I might need to leave, we can grab a drink when I have time some other day.â
âSo soon?â Gu Linxi saw that she was just leaving after a phone call and couldnât hide her surprise.
Rong Yan said, looking guilty, âYeah, Iâve got dinner planned with Little Baby tonight, and it was a last-minute trip this afternoon. I meant to grab a drink with you, but now Iâm short on time.â
Gu Linxi, being generous and straightforward by nature, and not one to fuss over small matters, immediately waved her off, âNo worries, weâll have that drink next time. You go ahead if you have plans; Iâve still got unfinished work to sort out anyway.â
Knowing she was referring to the motorcycle she had just tuned, curiosity quickly took over Rong Yan, âThat bike looks like KKâs 1987 limited edition. I remember there was a news leak, saying a collector in Capital City bought it. I just canât remember who it was. Who is it?â
This was the second time today she had asked about the owner of the motorcycle.

However, Gu Linxi, uncharacteristically evasive this time, would only say it belonged to a friend and refused to divulge more.
The more evasive Gu Linxi was, the more Rong Yan felt there was something fishy going on.
Guilt about the red string that suddenly appeared on Gu Linxiâs hand, and a nagging feeling that she had seen it somewhere before. And today, this Harley motorcycle gave her the same feeling.
Watching Xixiâs reaction, could it be that she was actually in love?
But why wouldnât she tell her if she was dating? Could it be that Xixi was involved with someone she knew?
Rong Yan rifled through her mind for the most likely candidate, and only Lin Xinbei came to mind. But that was utterly impossible; how could a man who disliked women possibly date one!
Just as she resolved to press further, her phone rang. Looking down, Rong Yan saw it was Li Shengxiao calling again. She said goodbye to Gu Linxi while heading outside.
âHello, youâve arrived already?â
It had only been five minutes since she hung up; donât tell her he was already there!
From the other end of the phone, the manâs cello-deep voice came through, âNo.â
Rong Yan sighed with relief, âGood, good that you havenât.â
She hadnât even picked up Baby yet, and if he had arrived so quickly, she wouldnât know what to do.
As if hearing her inner thoughts, the voice on the phone, dark and husky, said, âI called to tell you thereâs no need to pick up the little guy. Iâve asked the butler to take him there.â
Rong Yan had told him to meet directly at the hot and sour noodle shop because she figured she would not yet be with the little guy, so he called ahead.
âOh.â Rong Yan blinked, âWait for me a bit, Iâll hail a taxi and be right over.â
The noodle shop wasnât far from where she was, and a taxi should get her there in about ten minutes. She planned to get there early to save a spot so they wouldnât have to wait for a table when they arrived.
Having made up her mind, Rong Yan got ready to end the call, âLi Shengxiao, Iâm hanging up. Iâll take a taxi and message you when I get there.â
