Gu Ziyou thought this was a gentle way of asking her to leave, right? Her home was just downstairs, why would she need to sleep in his guest room.

Besides, she needed to take a shower, change clothes, and deal with many other girl-related troubles.

"Then I’ll go back." She yawned again, feeling really sleepy. If she stayed any longer, she’d truly fall asleep at his place.

"Mm." Shen Lingfeng said softly, "Don’t forget what I mentioned, have a good rest tonight."

Gu Ziyou, half-asleep, wasn’t bothered to think too much.

When she’s sleepy, she didn’t feel like overthinking things; she’d just go back and crash.

Anyway, Mengmeng knew she could be summoned by the BOSS at any time. Besides Mengmeng, she didn’t have many other friends in Hai City, so she didn’t have other plans.

As long as he needed her, she would certainly show up instantly.

Gu Ziyou figured that bringing her along for business was a good choice, as she had plenty of suitable outfits.

That night, she fell asleep thinking about the dress she’d wear for tomorrow’s business trip with the BOSS.

In the morning, she was awoken by the doorbell.

Rubbing her head, feeling a bit cranky due to being woken up early.

But the BOSS had clearly mentioned he’d be back by noon, so it was still early.

Opening the door, she found, indeed it wasn’t the BOSS, but someone who was enough to wake her up instantly.

"Gu Ziyou, right?" The woman at the door smiled at her, with a hint of apology in her smile, "Sorry for waking you. But I’m about to catch a flight, so it had to be this time."

"You’re here for me?" Gu Ziyou didn’t understand what she meant.

The woman at the door was none other than Lin Yan, the girlfriend of Vice President Yang, whom Mr. Shen had explained about last night.

"Yes, I specifically came to see you." Lin Yan had no intention of coming in, glanced at the time, and hastened her words, "I’ll keep it short, otherwise I’ll miss my flight. I thought it would be best to explain to you personally, just about that day... You know, things aren’t what they seemed to you. Shen Lingfeng and I are just friends, there’s absolutely no improper relationship, please don’t misunderstand."

"It’s okay, he already explained... Wait a minute." Gu Ziyou felt something was amiss.

Why did she hear a familiar name?

Lin Yan continued, "I know he might have explained it to you personally, but I was worried you might not believe him. I understand, sometimes women tend to believe what they see, but believe me, he’s really not that kind of person. I’ve known him for quite a while, and you’re the first person I’ve seen him bring home. Moreover, he’s the kind of person who avoids saying more than needed, but if he explained it to you, it shows you mean something to him..."

"Wait." Gu Ziyou gripped the doorknob, not hearing what she was saying, her eyes full of confusion, "Who did you just say, Shen... Shen what?"

"Shen Lingfeng." Lin Yan looked a bit puzzled by her expression, "Are you not fully awake? Did you hear what I said?"

"He’s called... Shen Lingfeng?"

Lin Yan chuckled, her eyes curving with her smile, "You don’t know his name? But it makes sense, their company is registered in the United States and is considered a foreign enterprise. I’ve heard that in foreign companies in China, everyone pompously uses only their English names, but surely he couldn’t have not told you his name, right?"

"Could you please tell me what his name is, the exact three words?" Gu Ziyou’s voice was very soft.
