Duanhua wasn't mistaken, Zhou Gu was indeed sitting in the private room upstairs.
Besides Zhou Gu, there was Su Xingze.
Su Rong knew that Su Xingze had left Duke Residence early in the morning heading to the book store with Zhou Gu. By the time she and Fen Ling leisurely left the residence, he had been out for a good half an hour.
Su Xingze intended to keep his distance from Zhou Gu, especially after the cancellation of Su Rong's marriage. He didn't want himself or Su Rong to get overly involved with Zhou Gu. But that night, after Su Rong returned in the wee hours, she asked him to spend more time with Zhou Gu, to which he reluctantly agreed, and naturally, he couldn't keep his distance anymore.
