Gu Zhiqi slept the whole way until they arrived at the Su Residence when Su Yunling finally woke her up.
When Gu Zhiqi woke up, she noticed a faint and ethereal fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose, so light it seemed almost unreal, as if it were the scent from a dream, yet also one she sensed in reality.
"We’ve arrived." Seeing that Gu Zhiqi had opened her sleepy eyes but showed no intention of moving her head from his shoulder, Su Yunling gently spoke.
At hearing this, the momentary confusion that flickered in the depths of Gu Zhiqi’s eyes vanished as her memories slowly returned, and only then did she remember where she was.
How did she fall asleep on Su Yunling’s shoulder again?
With this question in her mind, she opened the car door and got out.
Su Yunling followed her out of the car.
They had driven straight into the estate and stopped outside Gu Zhiqi’s courtyard. As she walked towards the courtyard after getting out of the car, Su Yunling called out to her, "Child."
Gu Zhiqi stopped and turned around.
"Don’t you want the flower?" Su Yunling asked, standing in place with the purple flower in his arms, looking at Gu Zhiqi.
He had intended to place the flower into the Storage Ring, but discovered it couldn’t be stored, so he had to carry it all the way here.
Looking at the flower Su Yunling was holding, Gu Zhiqi walked over in a few steps and took it from him.
After firmly taking the flower into her hands, Gu Zhiqi paused for a moment, looked down, and cast a deep glance at the flower she had taken.
Great, Mo Weiran now owed her another 50 million.
After returning to the Su Residence, Gu Zhiqi spent all her time in her room cultivating her mental method.
It wasn’t until dinner time that Su Yunling came to call her, and Gu Zhiqi finally left her room.
Today’s dinner table was just as lively. The same guests as yesterday were present, with the addition of Yi Tingfeng.
"Little junior sister, you’re here. Come, sit next to Big Senior Brother." As soon as Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi entered the dining hall, Yi Tingfeng stood up, warmly pulling out the chair next to him for her and gesturing for her to join him.
Gu Zhiqi, without any politeness, went straight over and sat down.
Seeing this, Yi Tingfeng’s smile deepened at the corner of his mouth, and then, he provocatively glanced at Su Yunling.
As if he had not seen Yi Tingfeng’s challenging gaze, Su Yunling took his own seat once Gu Zhiqi had sat down.
The chair Yi Tingfeng pulled out for Gu Zhiqi was next to him, with Tang Yichen on her left and Su Yunling, who had just sat down, across from Tang Yichen.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling seated on either side beside him, Tang Yichen lifted his hand and scratched his neck.
He glanced at Yi Tingfeng and then at Su Yunling before finally standing up, "Third Brother, here, take my seat. It so happens I have something to discuss with Brother Jin."
As soon as Tang Yichen finished speaking, he felt Yi Tingfeng’s glare of death, but clearly, Tang Yichen wasn’t the least bit intimidated by that stare.
Rising to his feet and without waiting for Su Yunling to react, he walked around him and took the empty seat next to Jin Cengran.
Upon seeing this, Su Yunling subtly raised his eyebrows and moved unhurriedly to the seat next to Gu Zhiqi.
His eyes slightly curved, a gentle smile on his lips, he looked at Yi Tingfeng.
Although he was clearly smiling, Yi Tingfeng felt as if the smile contained shards of ice.
Subconsciously shivering, Yi Tingfeng dared not look at Su Yunling again and quickly picked up his chopsticks. He served Gu Zhiqi a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to divert his attention, "Little junior sister, your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Ah Yun’s cooking skills are not bad; you should like them."
Tang Yichen openly scorned Yi Tingfeng’s attempt to curry favor, "Gu Xiaoxi indeed likes them quite a lot, after all, it’s not her first time eating them."
