"I forgot," said Gu Zhiqi nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen immediately switched into talkative mode, "Let me tell you, there are a lot of fun places in the capital. After we get there, I’ll take you out to have fun."
"Right, don’t bother booking a hotel. I’ll take you to stay at my place. I’ll take care of all your basic necessities..."
"Stop bothering her while she’s eating," Su Yunling interrupted Tang Yichen.
He stared at Su Yunling for several seconds with a pensive gaze, but Su Yunling’s expression didn’t change.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen let out a wistful sigh.
At this moment, he believed that Third Brother and Gu Xiaoxi really hadn’t had a fight.
Tang Yichen didn’t speak again, and Gu Zhiqi actually glanced up at him, "You just mentioned taking care of all my basic needs..."
"I’ve got it covered." Before Gu Zhiqi could finish speaking, Su Yunling spoke up.
Gu Zhiqi turned her head to look at Su Yunling and said confidently, "I am treating your childhood friend; it is only right that I do so."
Su Yunling smiled and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it is only right."
Pleased with the response, Gu Zhiqi continued to eat her meal.
The plane took off from Haicheng at eleven in the morning and landed in the capital at one-thirty in the afternoon.
Just as they exited the airport, a car stopped in front of the three of them.
"Miss Gu!" The car window rolled down, and inside, Yun Sen, sitting in the driver’s seat, waved excitedly at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly to Yun Sen in response.
Tang Yichen hurried to open the passenger door and sat down, while Su Yunling opened the rear door and looked at Gu Zhiqi, "Get in."
Gu Zhiqi bent down to get into the car, with Su Yunling following close behind.
"Yun Sen, you’ve changed. You used to greet me and Third Brother first, but how come today, you only greeted Gu Zhiqi?" Tang Yichen complained plaintively while buckling his seatbelt.
Upon hearing this, Yun Sen remembered that he had forgotten to greet them in his excitement, "My lord, I, your subordinate..."
"Don’t worry about it." Before Yun Sen could finish, Su Yunling cut him off, "Let’s go to Shadow Pavilion first."
"Yes!" Yun Sen responded and started the car.
After eating, Su Yunling did not immediately take Gu Zhiqi to the Ever Winning Army to treat his childhood friend; instead, he first showed her where she would be staying.
He arranged for Gu Zhiqi to stay with the Su Family, one of the Four Great Families in the capital.
The Su Family estate was built in a garden-style architecture, resembling an ancient mansion of a prince or a high-ranking official, complete with Langyuan Mountain and Qionglou, rockeries and waterside pavilions, and ponds with swimming fish.
On their way there, Gu Zhiqi saw plenty of rockery and bamboo, pavilions and towers.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Yunling finally brought Gu Zhiqi to a courtyard, "What do you think of this place? If you don’t like it, I can show you others."
At Su Yunling’s words, Yun Sen and Tang Yichen both had subtly complex expressions on their faces.
"This place will do," Gu Zhiqi replied without noticing the odd looks from Tang Yichen and Yun Sen, right away.
She didn’t want to walk any further.
At that moment, Gu Zhiqi was certain that the Su Family estate must have indeed been a prince’s residence in the past.
"Then this place it is," Su Yunling said, before adding, "My childhood friend is busy right now; I will bring him over later."
"Alright, you rest first. The courtyard opposite is where I live; you can come find me anytime if you need anything," Su Yunling said, and with a slight turn, he pointed to the courtyard opposite Gu Zhiqi’s new residence.
