CHAPTER 246: CHAPTER 249: YOU CAME TO CITY Z?

Just as she reached the door, she saw Lan Shan walking toward her.

"Xinluo, you’re awake. Are you hungry?" Lan Shan asked, holding her hand.

"What time is it?" She didn’t know how long she had slept.

"Almost six o’clock. Wash your face and let’s go eat." With that, she pulled Ye Xinluo back into the room, washed her face, and the two of them headed to the restaurant together.

After dinner, Ye Xinluo mentioned something to Shen Xiaya, then went home.

...

When she got home, she placed the keys on the shoe cabinet, changed her shoes, took her bag, and went straight to the bedroom.

Sitting on the bed, she took the box out of her bag, looked at it for a while, and then found a place to safely put it away.

She took her clothes to change into the bathroom for a shower, and when she came out, she saw her phone lighting up on the bed.

She walked to the bedside and glanced at it; it was a call from Gong Shaoyu. She reached out, picked up the phone, and swiped the screen to answer.

"Shaoyu."

"Xinluo, what are you doing?" Gong Shaoyu’s voice came through. It was noisy on his end; she couldn’t tell what he was doing.

"I just got back from outside. What about you? Why is it so noisy there? Where are you?"

After a moment, Gong Shaoyu’s voice came through, "I’m at Z City airport."

"Z City airport? Did you come to Z City?"

"Yeah." Gong Shaoyu responded, "There’s a project here the day after tomorrow, so I came to check it out. Do you have time to meet up and chat?"

"Sure. Tomorrow, though. It’s too late today." Ye Xinluo replied; it was already past eight.

"Okay."

"By the way, where have you been lately? Why couldn’t I reach you on the phone?" Ye Xinluo asked. For a while, whenever she tried to call him, his phone was off.

"I was on a business trip, and there was no signal there."

"Alright then, go rest at the hotel first. Let me know where we can meet tomorrow!"

"Okay, I’ll hang up now."

Gong Shaoyu ended the call, put the phone in his pocket, and got into a car.

Sitting in the back seat, he looked at the documents.

"Are you here for work or to see someone?" Qiao Rui, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but ask.

Gong Shaoyu glanced at him sideways, "What do you think?"

"Ahem, alright, you win." Qiao Rui promptly dropped the topic and turned to gaze out the window, choosing not to speak further.

...

Upon reaching the hotel, the manager led Gong Shaoyu to the presidential suite on the top floor, handed him a room card, and then left.

"Remember, at ten a.m. the day after tomorrow, representatives from the partnering company will be here, don’t forget." Qiao Rui handed him the notebook, reporting the schedule.

"I have plans tomorrow." Gong Shaoyu took the computer, swiped the card, entered the room, and before Qiao Rui could react, slammed the door shut with a bang.

He inserted the card to turn on the lights, instantly brightening the entire room. The suite was divided into two areas: one with a bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, plus a living room, a bar, and a private balcony.

Gong Shaoyu went into the inner bedroom, placed the computer on the desk, stretched out his long fingers to unbutton his suit jacket, took it off, and casually tossed it onto the sofa.

Underneath was a black shirt, with the buttons undone down to the second, exposing the fair skin beneath, and his sexy collarbones were fully revealed.

He went to the bar to pour himself a glass of red wine, then returned to the sofa, sitting down with his legs crossed on the coffee table. His bangs fell casually over his forehead.

After drinking a glass of red wine, he leisurely got up, found a bathrobe, and went to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, he emerged from the bathroom, wearing a black bathrobe, and began to towel-dry his hair.
