However, he still responded with a warm smile.
"Alright, I'm going to attend a medical seminar tomorrow. If Ling isn't afraid of boredom, let's go together."
"Alright! Gu Li, I'm going." Upon hearing that they could go out, the young girl had already revealed a happy expression.
Gu Li lowered his eyes, and a gloomy light suddenly flashed through his eyes behind his glasses.
He brought the food to the table, but gently rubbed Xia Ling's head.
"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat!"
Xia Ling: "Okay!"

The next day, early in the morning, Xia Ling got up.
She perfectly portrayed the image of a young girl who was looking forward to going out.
After getting dressed early in the morning, she sat on the sofa in the living room and excitedly waited for Gu Li.
Boom! There was a loud sound from outside.
Flames shot up into the sky.
Xia Ling smelled the burning smell in the air. She stood up and wanted to go out.
The villa's door was pushed open, and a backlit youth walked in.
Seeing that the young girl was actually waiting in the living room so early, Gu Li's brows slightly furrowed.
"Ling why are you up so early?"
"Bcause I'm so happy to be able to go out. I can't sleep." Xia Ling smiled and asked, "Gu Li, what's going on outside? It's so scary!"
Gu Li said, "Oh, there's something wrong with the car in the garage. It accidentally exploded."
The young girl asked nervously, "Gu Li, are you alright?"
She went forward and grabbed Gu Li's arm, surrounding him to check carefully.
Gu Li said, "I'm fine."
After looking around and confirming that he was really fine, the young girl let out a sigh of relief.
"That sound just now was so scary. It scared me to death. Gu Li, how could there be a problem with the car in the garage? No, the car in the garage is broken. Then, can I not go with you today?"
Gu Li's eyes were indifferent. "Yes, the people from the seminar will come to pick me up in a while. Their car is very full and can only fit one person."
"Oh..." What a heartfelt excuse. Xia Ling almost believed it.
Disappointment flashed across her fair face and the young girl lowered her head.
"Then I'll be at home. Gu Li, what about the weekend? Do you have time to take me out to play?"
"I don't have time. There are some things in the medical room and I'm very busy." Gu Li remained indifferent.
To be able to be alone with him, the young girl actually longed for the outside world. It was really unforgivable!
Feeling the coldness on Gu Li's body, the young girl frowned. She was a little puzzled and also a little uncomfortable.
Feeling wronged, she went to grab the corner of Gu Li's shirt.
"Gu Li, why are you so cold? Did Ling do something wrong again?"
Gu Li: "No."
"If not, you will usually smile at Ling." Xia Ling pursed her lips slightly, as if she had thought of something. She lowered her head and unbuttoned her buttons one by one.
The young girl's pure white dress fell to the ground.
"Gu Li, if you're happy like this, then hug Ling again and let her give you a child!"
Her clear, watery eyes were filled with grievance, but she spoke with incomparable seriousness.
Looking at the fair and well-proportioned young girl's body, Gu Li's brows gradually furrowed. There was not a hint of disappointment in his eyes behind the lenses.
Instead...
A dull and tasteless feeling surfaced.
"There's no need!"
Picking up the dress, Gu Li helped the young girl put it on and buttoned her buttons one by one.
He looked at her and said, "I might be out for a long time this time. Maybe it might take a week. They just informed me at the last minute and I won't be back for a week. You can stay at home by yourself and inform the nanny if anything happens."
However, the young girl still frowned. "Gu Li, can't I contact you?"
Behind the lens, Gu Li looked at the young girl's face and shook his head.
"After the seminar, I will go to a completely closed place where I can't contact the outside world."
"It doesn't matter. Promise Gu Li that you will take good care of yourself even if Gu Li is not around, right?"
The young girl bit her lips and looked at Gu Li with reluctance. She then replied softly, "Yes..."
"That's good. Then, Gu Li will be at ease." Gu Li rubbed the young girl's head and turned around, wanting to leave.
However, he had only taken two steps when he stopped.
The corner of his shirt was still held in the young girl's hand.
Behind him, the young girl tugged at the corner of his shirt. Her watery eyes looked at him with reluctance and desire, unwilling to let go no matter what.
