The night in Sui City has a certain charm that surpasses its daytime allure.

The skyscrapers lined up perfectly, and when thousands of lights blossomed, it was as if the entire city was draped in a silver coat.

A white sedan slowly drove onto the overpass.

The atmosphere inside the car was very quiet. Since getting in the car, Chi Yu had been very well-behaved, sitting quietly without making noise, just like a child in kindergarten. Gu Yuan glanced at him occasionally, and as she did so, the corners of her tightly pressed lips gradually lifted into a smile.

She thought to herself, how can this person be so obedient?

More and more obedient.

"Chi Yu," she called him.

Chi Yu shifted his position slightly, moving slowly closer to Gu Yuan, not too close, but clearly nearer than before. His clear, deep eyes fixed on her, with the captivating beauty mark at the corner of his eye casting a seductive spell, leaving Gu Yuan uncertain whether to look into his eyes or at that enthralling beauty mark.

When Gu Yuan looked at him, there was a penetrating gaze that made Chi Yu’s heart pound.

Despite being former lovers and ex-spouses, every time she made a casual gesture, it left him restless and his mind wandering.

Gu Yuan snapped back to reality, refraining from looking at either his eyes or the captivating beauty mark, and asked him thoughtfully, "Are you tired?"

He had been sitting in the studio for nearly three hours. Although he pretended to be indifferent about winning an award, Gu Yuan could tell he was excited—it was an industry award, after all. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But Chi Yu heard Gu Yuan’s "Are you tired?" as a different query.

He immediately shook his head, "I’m not tired."

Emphasizing, "I’m full of energy, not the least bit tired."

Gu Yuan: "..."

She immediately understood what he was implying.

This rascal!

"When I asked if you were tired, I meant the award ceremony tonight, not what you’re thinking." Gu Yuan, who hadn’t intended to clarify, found herself explaining after seeing the fervent look in his eyes.

Chi Yu’s expression froze, then he licked his lower lip, "...I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chi Yu sensed a faint perfume fragrance drawing near, along with the warm, soft presence beside him.

"Understand what?" Gu Yuan deliberately decreased the space between them.

Her ample chest almost pressed against his arm, making Chi Yu hold his breath, his body stiffening—damn this youthful reaction!!!

"I... I just..." Now his mind was a mess. Chi Yu’s ability to form coherent thoughts was faltering; this wasn’t how he should react. He was even annoyed at himself, wondering if he’d been abstinent for too long, as if he hadn’t seen a woman in ages!

"Yuanyuan, I meant, I’m not tired after the award ceremony." Finally, he managed to get the sentence out.

But after he spoke, without Gu Yuan giving any further reaction, the soft sensation on his arm disappeared.

Gu Yuan had moved back to her seat!

Chi Yu: "..." Yuanyuan seemed to love him only for a moment.

The car left the overpass, heading in another direction. At this moment, Chi Yu suddenly realized the route wasn’t going to Gu Mansion but towards Yujin No.1.

The car arrived at Yujing No.1, where the guards recognized Gu Yuan’s car and opened the gate directly.

The building named ’Starlight’ had never changed its name. The two walked in side by side, and the elevator attendant stepped out appropriately, making space for them.

As they stepped into the elevator, and as the doors closed, the elevator swiftly ascending floor by floor, Gu Yuan spoke to the person beside her, "Do you know why this building is called Starlight?"

Chi Yu didn’t know.

But he guessed, "Because you like the starlit sky."

Gu Yuan let him believe he’d guessed right, "Mm."

Chi Yu was smart, and Gu Yuan’s "Mm" actually meant he guessed wrong.

But since Gu Yuan agreed with his guess, Chi Yu didn’t pursue it further. As they exited the elevator, opened the door, and entered the room, Gu Yuan placed her bag down, kicked off her high-heeled shoes, and walked straight to the bathroom.

She needed to take a bath.

However, after entering the bathroom, she stepped back out and said to the bewildered Chi Yu, "I’m going to take a bath, can you cut some fruit for me—um, lots of grapes."

Suddenly given a task, Chi Yu, who didn’t know what to do, immediately felt relieved, responding, "I’ll do it right away."

Chi Yu only realized he had a task but overlooked the words ’cut some fruit and bring it in’ from Gu Yuan’s earlier sentence.
