Qiao Xi’s face was slightly red, then she raised her head and said shyly, “It’s nothing important. I just missed you so much!”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow and said casually, “I think I was the one who sent you to Yingyun Hall this morning. We were only separated for two hours.”

Qiao Xi pouted aggrievedly. “What’s wrong with that? Not to mention two hours, even if it’s a minute or a second, I’ll miss you! But you didn’t miss me, huh? I’m so sad!”

Gu Zheng was silent for a moment. The smile on his face grew wider and wider with a trace of ambiguity. “In that case, Mrs. Gu, you called me out to talk about this?”

Qiao Xi lowered her head, and her cheeks were slightly red. Seeing that Gu Zheng was insensible, it seemed that she had to use her ultimate move. A trace of a bright light flashed past her eyes as she stared fixedly at Gu Zheng’s eyes.

Gu Zheng smirked. Was Mrs. Gu going to use hypnosis again?

Qiao Xi was very confident in her hypnosis technique. Gu Zheng was her first experimenter, so she would naturally succeed. Moreover, hypnosis would not harm the human body, so she could use it without worry.

Qiao Xi only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Zheng’s eyes gradually turn red. She did not dare to control Gu Zheng for too long. After all, someone like Gu Zheng was too determined.

Hence, Qiao Xi raised her head without the slightest hesitation and kissed his slightly cold lips. After the kiss, the redness in his eyes gradually faded and he recovered his clarity.

Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi meaningfully. When he saw her smug expression, he wanted to laugh but forcefully held it in. He smiled lightly. “Mrs. Gu.”

“Huh?” Qiao Xi raised her eyes.

Then, Gu Zheng hugged her waist with one hand and controlled her chin with the other. He planted a kiss on her lips.

“I missed you too.” He chuckled and said, “That’s why I’m asking for a kiss from Mrs. Gu to relieve my longing for you.”

Qiao Xi was instantly stunned, then the blush on her face spread to the back of her ears. If she had known that Gu Zheng would kiss her, why did she spend so much effort to hypnotize him?

The two of them returned to the private room. Qiao Xi could not wait to pick up her chopsticks and taste Su Dongjun’s food. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, but when she thought of Su Dongjun’s words, she hurriedly controlled the smile on her face.

Gu Zheng looked at her cute appearance and could not help but laugh.

Mrs. Gu was so cute!

On the other hand, Fang Shiyun and her assistant had already arrived at Yingyun Hall.

his assistant smiled and said, “This restaurant is fated with you. It also has the word ‘Yun’.”

Fang Shiyun did not care about this small matter at all. He straightened her clothes and said nervously, “Senior won’t be unhappy to see me, right?”

His assistant hurriedly said, “Mr. Liang has already told Miss Qiao that you’ll be coming, but today is Young Master Yin Jinglin’s birthday. Everyone from the Yin family is eating here.”

“Ah! I didn’t receive an invitation, so it’s indeed not good for me to come over like this. Fortunately, I prepared a gift for Young Master Yin in advance. It won’t be too abrupt.” Fang Shiyun heaved a sigh of relief and bowed. “Go ask which private room Senior is in.”

The assistant hurriedly said, “The Yin family’s banquet will definitely be held in the largest private room!”

He pointed at the innermost private room on the first floor. “The largest private room in Yingyun Hall is there. Let’s go there directly.”

Fang Shiyun nodded, and the two of them walked toward the innermost room.

…

In the Xia family’s private room.

After all, the main character of the day, Fang Shiyun, had not arrived yet, so everyone was just sitting and chatting. They were not prepared to start the banquet. However, after a long time, Fang Shiyun was still nowhere to be seen. The guests gradually lost their patience.

The group of young ladies who came to join in the fun with their families could not help but mock, “It’s been so long but he’s not here yet. Could it be that Mr. Fang didn’t agree to come at all?”

Xia Mengyan clenched her fists and forced a smile. She did not answer. She just looked at the door of the private room anxiously, but no one came in.

She had been smart since she was young and was the center of attention among the many young ladies. It was normal for these people to be jealous of her. She was already used to it. Moreover, she did not take these people seriously at all because they were not worthy of being her opponents.

At this moment, she was anxious and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She was afraid that Fang Shiyun would not come. If that was the case, she would really become the laughing stock of many young ladies.

When Old Madam Xia heard that there were people bullying her granddaughter, she hurriedly retorted, “The news of Mr. Fang wanting to take on an apprentice has long spread. Moreover, he has only contacted the Xia family during this period. Some people are just jealous of our Mengyan’s excellence, so they’re making sarcastic remarks here. Even if Mengyan doesn’t acknowledge a master, she’s still better than them!”
