Reassured by Gu Dai's promise, Meng Zhi finally relaxed. "In that case, I'll head upstairs. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright," Gu Dai responded, nodding.
Zhou Ci watched Meng Zhi's figure ascending up the stairs and couldn't help but stand closer to Gu Dai. "What were you two talking about just now?"
Their voices had been so low that even with his ears straining, Zhou Ci hadn't been able to catch the conversation.
Suppressing a yawn, Gu Dai said casually, "We were just praising you."
It seemed more like you were speaking ill of me," Zhou Ci countered, as he found that hard to believe.
Gu Dai looked at him, surprised by his perceptiveness.
Yet she had no intention of confirming his suspicion. Changing the subject, she said, "So, what other goals do you have?"
