The days felt long, and Wu Genji found herself bored. She had extra time on her hands now that she had been staying at the Shi-Yuan estate, and she was always left alone, save for the dog, Shizi, who would be quiet company. Canines didn't speak, but her presence had been comforting, and it eased her anxiety.
Wu Genji had hoped Yuan Ning would invite her to his office, but he seemed always to be consumed with his responsibilities, and she'd only get in the way. She knew that.
She was laid sprawled on the settee when her phone notified her with a message. It was from Yuan Ning: "I'm coming to pick you up. Be there soon."
That implied he was going to take her somewhere, but where?
She didn't hesitate as she quickly washed up and changed. Twenty minutes later and he was there.
Wu Genji slid into the passenger seat of his car and fastened her seatbelt.
"Where are you taking me?" she questioned.
"You'll see," he said as they took off.
