When they returned to the courtyard, Xiao Lingyu bit her lip and turned to Gong Tianhao, "Young Master Gong, can I ask you something?"
Gong Tianhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his excitement. It meant that she needed him for something. It meant that she was slowly becoming dependent on him. This was progress, and it was something worth celebrating.
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, "Of course, you can ask me anything. You don't need to be so polite around me."
"..." Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao's obviously happy expression and swallowed her saliva. But in the end, she still said, "Can Young Master Gong please not be so close to me in the future? I... I'm not used to it."
Gong Tianhao, "..."
The smile on his face froze for a moment. Then, he replied with a serious tone, "Lingyu, remember this. It's fine if you're not used to it now. You can take it slow. However, you have to get used to me being by your side in the future."
