CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 423: HOPE TO MEET AGAIN

Gu Lingling carefully cleaned Yang Yunhai’s room inside and out.

Then she sat in the wicker chair where she first met Yang Yunhai, pondering.

When Yang Zhao came in, he saw the girl leaning on the chair, and for a moment he thought of Yang Yunhai, as if Brother Hai also liked to lean like that.

"Brother Yang?" Gu Lingling stood up excitedly from the chair when she heard the noise, turned around and joyfully shouted, "Who are you?"

She thought Yang Yunhai had returned, but instead, the person who came in was someone she didn’t recognize at all.

"I’m Yang Zhao. You probably heard Brother Hai mention me," Yang Zhao introduced himself.

"But Brother Yang, is there any news?" Gu Lingling asked.

It’s been more than two months since Yang Yunhai left, and there’s no news at all.

"No." Yang Zhao couldn’t help but say as he saw her disappointed look, "No news is good news."

Indeed, no news is good news.

"Then why are you here?" Gu Lingling asked.

"Zhou Ting has been investigating that matter and might already be suspecting you," Yang Zhao said, "Be careful recently, and with those little friends, I’ll inform you of any situation immediately."

"Thank you, I understand," Gu Lingling said.

No wonder Zhou Ting came specifically to greet her that day, but so what? She didn’t feel she did anything wrong.

"If you have any issues, just come here; as long as the door is open, I’ll know," Yang Zhao said, "It’s a crucial period now, better be careful."

Gu Lingling naturally knew this.

"Will he be alright?" The situation in the Capital City might be more tense.

"Shouldn’t be. I just know he’s not in the Capital City." As for where he is? He doesn’t know either.

"Got it." Gu Lingling touched the Jade Pendant on her neck.

In Port City, the silver moon adorned the dark blue night sky, rows of street lamps lit up, like bright pearls scattered across the bustling streets.

Yang Yunhai stood by the window, gazing at this bustling city.

"So late and still not sleeping?" A woman’s voice came from beside him, looking at Yang Yunhai and asking, "You seem to have something on your mind today."

Yang Yunhai said nothing, just silently turned around and lay down on the sofa.

"You could lie on the bed," the woman continued.

"No need," Yang Yunhai replied flatly.

The woman pursed her lips, "Are you afraid you’ll fall for me?"

Otherwise, why does he always act distant towards her in private?

"You’re overthinking," Yang Yunhai closed his eyes and responded, then said no more.

The bedroom fell silent.

The woman angrily turned over, causing the bed to creak.

"After this task is completed, do you think we’ll meet again?" After a long time, the woman’s voice reached Yang Yunhai’s ears through the dark night, "Do you hope we meet or not?"

"I actually hope we can meet," the woman said with some delight, "Then maybe I’ll see what the person you like is like."

Since the first day she met him, she knew this man had someone he liked in his heart.

But pathetically, the more she interacted with him, the more she wanted to glimpse what kind of person is in his heart?

"Goodnight then," the woman said with a smile, "Hope you dream of that girl you like tonight."

In the air, there was still no response.

The woman in the dark made a helpless expression.

She knew it would be like this.
