I don't know when Gu Yuanzhou realized I was gone.
What does him standing by the door in the middle of the night mean?
After a moment of confusion, I quickly held my composure, took off my face mask, and began to explain to him,
"I met a friend and had arranged to meet at a bar. I just went there."
A lie? I could think of one easily.
Gu Yuanzhou's dark eyes stared into mine for a long time,
"A man?"
Initially, I thought of making up a story.
But then it occurred to me that he is merely my boss, not my husband. I have no duty or obligation to explain everything to him so explicitly.
So I responded nonchalantly,
"Uh! Can I withhold that information?!"
"Just a reminder, you're not allowed to date while on a business trip!"
"President Gu...This isn't work hours, why not?"
"You're my employee, and I'm responsible for your personal safety! It's too dangerous to be out so late!"
He sternly interrupted me, completely uninterested in hearing any further explanation.
