Xiao Yu hung up the phone and retraced her steps back to the villa. Just as she reached the entrance, she saw Gong Ting coming out of the villa. He had already changed into formal attire, suggesting he had an engagement tonight.
"Are you going out?"
Gong Ting had just looked around the room for her, but couldn't find her. When he saw her coming from the rock garden, he frowned slightly, "Why are you running around in this hot weather? If you get heatstroke, you'll suffer for it."
Xiao Yu, feeling guilty, said sheepishly, "I'm in excellent health; I won't get heatstroke."
Gong Ting strode toward her, bent slightly, and stared into her eyes, "Sneaking around, are you up to something behind my back?"
Xiao Yu instinctively stepped back, creating some distance between them. She touched her ear, "What bad thing could I possibly do? At most, set the house on fire. Aren't you busy with your engagement? Go on then."
