Gu Qingyao could not hide the smile lurking at the corner of her lips.
She could not help it. Girls just liked sweet talk, and Gu Qingyao was no exception. Everyone enjoyed being cajoled by the person they liked. Gu Qingyao was delighted that Mo Beihan was treating her like this!
"I… I've reached my place!"
They had been walking along a common stretch of road, and then they should have gone their separate ways. But Mo Beihan had continued walking with her until he had sent her all the way home.
Mo Beihan handed the basket to her and said, "I have to attend to some matters for the next few days. When I'm ready, I'll come for you and we can go up the mountain together."
"Mhm!"
She entered the gate and turned to close it. Mo Beihan was still standing there, silhouetted against the setting sun. She faced the light and the rays of the sinking sun fell on her delicate and tranquil face. She looked charming.
