After Gu Shao had walked out, he stayed outside the door and did not take off.

He didnt stay inside the room because the child had grown and he shouldnt be staying in her room.

He waited until there was no more noises coming from the inside and that he was certain that Gu Xi had fallen back asleep before he shut the door all the way.

At this time, Aunty Mei seemed to have been disturbed as well and came to give a worried look.

What happened to Xiao Xi, Sir?

She had a nightmare, said Gu Shao. After a little pause, he added, Nothing serious. You dont need to worry, Aunty Mei.

Aunty Mei nodded, Is she asleep? Do you want me to make her some food?

She had already gone back to sleep. You, too, should go and get some rest.

Alright, said Aunty Mei.

She was about to walk away when Gu Shao stopped her again.

Song Kexin dared not go to look for Lin Yize. As such, she had no choice but to wait at home.

Lin Yize did not get home until midnight. Seeing the aggrieved Song Kexin, this was the first time that Lin Yize did not try to comfort her. Instead, he ignored her and went upstairs.

Hang on. Song Kexin stopped Lin Yize and tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She asked, Where did you go and who did you meet with?

Lin Yize suddenly snickered when he heard Song Kexins inquiry. Why are you asking me all those when you already have the answers?

He would admit that his tone was not the best it had been 10 years since he saw the woman whom he loved and hated and Lin Yize had very complicated feelings about it. In addition, her attitude toward him also irritated him.

Lin Yizes original plan today was to force shut down the Oceanic Transport Monitoring System project. Lo and behold, he had run into Meng Zixin.

After his initial surprised, he had a change of plan.

He took off with Meng Zixin from the banquet and broached the subject using their past as an entry point. Lin Yize had dropped plenty of hints that he wished for Meng Zixin to come work for him and help him on this particular matter.

Unfortunately, Meng Zixin adamantly rejected Lin Yizes olive branch and the conversation was unpleasant. On their way out, Meng Zixin even turned down Lin Yizes offer to give her a ride back.

After the setback with Meng Zixin and, now that he had seen a similar face, Lin Yize subconsciously taken out his anger on Song Kexin.
