It's been over a month since they last parted in Ghost Wood City. Although it hasn't been too long, for them, deeply in love, every minute and second feels like torture.
Liu Zixuan could see that ngyu was trying hard to hide her excitent and thrill, as well as the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, he smiled and said, "It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been lately?"
"Not bad, just keeping busy with filming and so studio work. It's been pretty uneventful. How about you?" ngyu asked.
To an outsider, their back-and-forth conversation might seem a bit awkward, but they both knew that every word was spoken from the depths of their hearts.
Before Liu Zixuan could answer, a young girl holding a laptop beside them blurted out, "Sister ng is lying again; she's obviously not doing well."
"What's wrong? Did sothing bad happen?" Liu Zixuan asked anxiously.
ngyu quickly shook her head, "No, don't listen to Lulu's nonsense. Nothing's wrong. Just focus on your work, alright?"
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Alright, once I'm done here, I'll co back to you!"
"Okay." Tears were already welling up in ngyu's eyes. Perhaps not wanting Liu Zixuan to see this, she said, "The director is calling over there, so I'm going to hang up now. Let's talk when we have ti."
"Okay. Take care of yourself. Call if anything cos up. No matter where you are, I'll be there first thing."
As Liu Zixuan finished speaking, the video call ended. But just the instant the screen went black, ngyu couldn't hold back her tears any longer and whispered softly, "How could I be doing well without you!"
After closing the laptop, the young girl said to Liu Zixuan, "Brother-in-law, you probably have a lot of questions now, don't you?"
"You little trickster, you knew I'd have questions and still played gas!" Liu Zixuan replied sullenly.
"You guys go down, I'll have a chat with my brother-in-law," the young girl said to the few sturdy n nearby.
After those sturdy n left, the young girl invited Liu Zixuan and the others into the room.
"Please have a seat," the young girl smiled.
Liu Zixuan sat on a chair, while Bai Jingjing stood by the wall with a puzzled expression. Liu Zixuan had a lot of questions to ask, and so did Bai Jingjing; when she left, there was no ngyu by Liu Zixuan's side!
Noticing Gu Yu also about to sit down, the young girl Lulu suddenly scolded, "Stand up!"
"Really? Can't even sit?" Gu Yu said with an aggrieved face.
It truly seems that every strong thing has its nesis. Even the omniscient Master Gu Yu was subdued by this seemingly adorable young girl.
Lulu placed her hands on her hips and scolded, "Until you agree to be my man, I won't let you sit!"
"I..." Gu Yu's face turned red as he squatted next to the sofa, "If I can't sit, I'll squat!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Zixuan laughed, "It's the first ti I've seen soone so afraid of a future wife when there's not even an inkling of marriage yet!"
"She's not my wife!" Gu Yu muttered.
Lulu didn't pay attention to him but happily sat beside Liu Zixuan and said, "Brother-in-law, I never thought you were friends with that rascal, nor did I expect us to et this way!"
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Yeah, it's also my first ti hearing it's the woman marrying the man, not the other way around!"
"Hehe." Lulu smiled sweetly. Despite being fierce towards Gu Yu, her eyes were filled with love when she looked at him.
"Hmm... I know you have many questions, so I'll explain in detail, and then you can ask if you have more questions, alright?" After a while, Lulu spoke up.
Liu Zixuan nodded in agreent.
"According to the plan of Xiui Group, there's no Xiui lingerie flagship store in Celestial Fate City or Tianchen City, because these two cities are set to rge, and opening a flagship store could risk a downturn in market economy."
"But when it was confird you had arrived in Celestial Fate City, sister Yiyi had sister ng transfer funds from the Xiui Group to open a flagship store here."
"I guessed it was little rascal Yiyi's doing," Liu Zixuan asked, "And what about you? I don't rember seeing you in Ghost Wood City before."
Lulu nodded, "I'm not from Ghost Wood City. I t sister ng in Central Province. We encountered so difficulties then, and sister ng helped us out and took us to Ghost Wood City. After spending so ti together, sister ng asked us to co here."
"Us? Is there anyone else besides you?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"And my brother," Lulu smiled wryly. "But my brother is eccentric and doesn't like eting strangers, so he didn't co out to greet you. Don't mind that."
"Not at all, please continue," Liu Zixuan said with a smile.
"Sister ng said if you discover this place, you would definitely co, and if you did, I should contact her." Lulu grinned mischievously, "Besides, this isn't just a flagship store!"
"What is it then?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
"You saw those sturdy n earlier, right? They were chosen to help you by sister ng, sister Zhou from Ghost Wood City, and so others I'm not acquainted with. They're skilled in martial arts, really impressive!" Lulu said cutely.
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan fell silent, feeling a warm current in his heart, filling him with happiness.
He realized that in this unfamiliar land, he wasn't fighting alone; there were those who loved him and whom he loved, thinking of him from afar despite the miles that separated them.
Seeing Liu Zixuan silent, Lulu smiled and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you especially moved now?"
"Of course." Liu Zixuan nodded seriously.
"I was also very touched when I learned about this!" Lulu clasped her hands together, grinning, "I even envy you, having such a wonderful girlfriend like sister ng!"
"Ahem." Bai Jingjing coughed, "Don't think too highly of him."
"Miss, what's your relationship with brother-in-law Zixuan?" Lulu asked.
"I... I..." Bai Jingjing stuttered without saying anything specific, waving her hand, "You guys continue your chat, why talk about !"
Liu Zixuan chuckled and turned to Lulu, "What about you and Gu Yu? I heard he touched your hand, and then you had him captured?"
"It's not that simple. I'm not that conservative; just touching my hand wouldn't make so angry!" Lulu said with an angry tone towards Gu Yu, "Hmph, he's an unprecedented scoundrel!"
