She could completely understand the urgent feelings of her mentor regarding this matter.
After all, it was something her elderly mentor had been looking forward to for three years.
Chi Gui didn't say much, only replying with, "Okay."
Wu Zhiyuan was finally satisfied and after giving a few more reminders, he went to attend to his business.
Chi Gui thought that she still needed to ask Academician Peng for leave, and she would also have to reassign the tasks at the research institute.
Distracted, she put down her phone, and turning her head, she saw Fu Si lazily leaning against the table, his slender fingers propping up his cheek, his phoenix eyes languidly watching her.
Seeing her finally look his way after being busy, Fu Si spoke, his voice low and enticing, "Professor Chi, what would you like to eat?"
"Let me see." Chi Gui picked up the menu in front of her and started to look it over seriously.
She was not particular about food, and during busy times, anything was fine.
Now looking at the menu with its exquisite and expensive dishes, she felt indifferent and casually ordered two Western dishes she usually ate.
Fu Si ordered two items as well, pressed the bell to call the waiter, and recited their choices.
The waiter respectfully took note, and finally, with a bow to both of them, turned and left. Latest content published on N()velFire.net
The door of the private room was closed again, and the room fell into silence.
Chi Gui sat up straight out of habit.
Her dark, almond eyes stared at the man in front of her.
Frankly speaking, Fu Si was truly outstanding, whether in looks, family background or his conduct in society.
In their interactions, he always seemed to manage the balance just right, not making her overly weary or too distant.
Step by step, bit by bit, he let her slowly get used to and then accept the feeling of his constant presence.
But today, seeing the attitude of Bi Yu and Donny towards him...
Chi Gui felt that she had previously thought too simply.
Hesitating internally, she still cautiously and indirectly asked, "Are you very popular in the M country?"
She seldom pried into someone's privacy or other matters, considering the caliber of the influential figures she dealt with, each of whom had more than one identity.
Many hidden identities of people couldn't be openly discussed.
Asking such a question was quite impolite and overstepping.
Hence, Chi Gui had hesitated for a long time and carefully chose her words.
But she was just... inexplicably curious about Fu Si's hidden identity...
He had been watching Chi Gui silently for a while, still staring at him, and thought she was going to say something earth-shattering.
After all, whenever Professor Chi acted out of the ordinary, the things she did or said were quite shocking to him.
But who knew, after waiting so long... it turned out to be just this?
...Oh, she even changed how she phrased it... was she afraid it would upset him?
After his initial pause, Fu Si couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, chuckling softly, "Professor Chi, have I ever told you that sometimes, you are really adorable?"
She slightly furrowed her brows.
Before Chi Gui could react, Fu Si had already straightened up, his expression becoming solemn, his phoenix eyes seriously looking at her, "Although my identity is quite special, since you asked, there is nothing that shouldn't be said."
Seeing his seriousness, Chi Gui was also influenced, slightly straightening her body and seriously looking at him.
Then, she watched as Fu Si's thin lips moved, and his deep, pleasing voice slowly flowed out, "My identity in M country is—"
