The two security guards who lived in the back courtyard had already inspected the place by now.
They then opened the shutters of the windows.
The early morning sunlight poured in without any obstruction.
The temperature inside Yubao Square gradually started to rise.
Dongfang Yu was still wearing his fur coat but was now sitting on the sofa.
The White Cat was circling around Gu Qiaoqiao.
At this time, the staff had already started their shifts and began to clean and record each antique and gemstone in Yubao Square.
This was a task that had to be done daily.
The cleaning was also a process of registration and inspection.
Gu Qiaoqiao walked around and then sat opposite Dongfang Yu, watching him as his complexion seemed to regain a bit of color, her eyebrows slightly furrowing imperceptibly.
Anything unusual is a sign of something mysterious.
It seemed man had come for her.
But, they had only met once, so what could be the reason?
Gu Qiaoqiao really wanted to know.
So, without beating around the bush, and as she had other matters to attend to later, she directly asked, "Mr. Dongfang, you’re here for me, aren’t you?"
The direct question made Dongfang Yu’s eyebrows furrow.
His bloodless lips stretched into a smile.
He didn’t answer Gu Qiaoqiao’s question but clasped his hands, looking around.
Without speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t guess his intentions.
However, she felt that he had no malice towards her for the time being.
There was no dangerous aura emanating from him.
So, what was he doing here?
Yet, since he was a visitor, he was a guest.
Gu Qiaoqiao picked up two teacups, filled one halfway with water, stood up, and placed the teacup in front of Dongfang Yu.
At that moment, Dongfang Yu saw the teacup Gu Qiaoqiao handed him.
Having been cold all morning, Dongfang Yu really needed a sip of hot tea to warm up.
He then eagerly reached for it.
But the instant he touched the teacup, his fingertips suddenly brushed against Gu Qiaoqiao’s, and in that moment, as if a stream of boiling lava flowed, warmth surged into his fingers.
It quickly spread throughout his limbs and torso.
A warmth he had never experienced flooded his body instantly.
Dongfang Yu stared blankly at Gu Qiaoqiao.
At that moment, it seemed as if Gu Qiaoqiao had turned into a small sun.
It made him unconsciously want to get closer.
Gu Qiaoqiao also acutely sensed something unusual about the man in front of her.
And that brief touch made Gu Qiaoqiao inwardly startled.
She hadn’t expected that this man named Dongfang Yu would be terrifyingly cold.
This coldness was different from the one felt outside.
There was even a sensation as if the person in front of her wasn’t alive.
This thought made Gu Qiaoqiao shiver.
She quickly let go of her hand.
At that moment, the worldly-wise Dongfang Yu, after a moment of losing composure, quickly recovered and took the teacup without any change in expression.
When he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, his eyes sparkled a bit more intensely.
This girl’s hand was indeed extraordinary.
It even slightly eased the chronic cold he suffered from every winter.
It was like sunlight had shone into his heart.
That warmth, he hadn’t experienced it for a long, long time.
Dongfang Yu’s dark eyes now shimmered with a gentle light.
Looking at Gu Qiaoqiao added an extra bit of warmth.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the Dongfang Yu in front of her, her brow furrowing...
