Gu Hai's brows locked together tightly, and although he appeared to be staring attentively at the documents on his desk, nonetheless, his heart and mind has flown elsewhere.

What exactly is happening between Bai Luo Yin and I? I've made everything clear on my side and he has also broken up. Now that all the knots that weighed heavily between us has been undone ... frankly speaking, we're together. Thinking about it, all the issues from the past years has also been settled, but no one has clearly stated if we are going to 'continuing' from then, or 'reconciling'......this kind of obscure feelings are truly unbearable.

Gu Hai strolled around the office twice, secretly pondering how he was going to talk to Bai Luo Yin. Everything has to be said in a way that does not make him appear to be lower in status while boldly bringing the subject to light.

He must not by all means make the same mistakes again. Gu Hai had always considered that reckless and impetuous confession from all those years ago a flaw staining his past. For two years since then, he had never broken away from that kind of rash and temperamental image. He had always believed the reason his feelings held an inferior status all started and firmly took root from his untimely confession. This time, he must tread with a caution.

As Gu Hai walked around, he ended up strolling toward the window. Not long after he stood there, he saw Bai Luo Yin's car approaching the area.

With just one glance, an enormous wave surged within his once tranquil heart, stimulating all the cells in his entire body to come alive all at once. Trying to control all the muscles in his lips from spreading out too wide, he quickly shed his usual cold and stern appearance and made his way to the elevator, high in spirit while a brilliant glow of light encased him.

One after another, the staffs raised their brows in shock when they caught a glimpse of him from the corner of their eyes. This sudden change in his mannerism caused a terrifying expression to stitch coyly on their pretty faces as a barrage of question conjured.

What exactly is going on with Gu Zong today? Even during his engagement, he didn't smile as bright as now!!

How can Gu Hai not be elated? Just as he has been worrying about how to bring up their relationship, his love interest was impatient enough to come looking for him first. History is about to be rewritten!

However, Gu Hai seemed to have transformed into a different person the moment he emerged from the elevator. Then, acting as if nothing happened, he walked out of the lounge and pretended not to have seen Bai Luo Yin before making a turn toward his own car, all the while, putting on a façade as if he has some urgent matter to attend to.

In truth, Bai Luo Yin had been wholeheartedly playing with the toy donkey, so when Gu Hai walked out, he did not see him. He was even thinking since there was still some time left before work finishes, he will just wait in the car first and give Gu Hai a call in a while.

Gu Hai has even opened the car door but noticing no movements from the other side, he secretly cursed to himself.

What the hell, he's that fucking blind?! How did he even become a pilot?

Feeling discouraged already, he mournfully picked up his gaze and walked back over.

While he fixed his tie, he made sure to fully suppress the excitement that was attempting to rip out of his chest. A couple of seconds later, he wore a wooden expression and knocked on Bai Luo Yin's car window.
