"Just a friend. As to why she ran off after calling me once, I'm not sure," Wang Youbao answered absentmindedly.
Wang Youbao tried to calm himself but to no avail, in the end, he could only bow with his hands clasped and say, "Miss Xing, I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to take care of and can't accompany you to choose a birthday gift for your brother. I'm sorry."
The smile on Miss Xing's face stiffened for a moment, but she still said gently and considerately, "Then, Brother Youbao, you should hurry and attend to your urgent business; that's more important."
Wang Youbao bowed politely to Miss Xing once more before turning and hastily returning home.
When he came out again, he was riding a horse, and the direction he headed was precisely where Li Wuyu had just vanished on horseback.
