Ji Yao couldn't shake off a sense of unease as she followed Lu Jincheng upstairs, feeling as if she was about to encounter someone she shouldn't.
However, all her premonitions were explained after she met the client.
No wonder Lu Jincheng had specifically brought her to meet this client, for the so-called client was none other than Xu Ye.
Clearly, Xu Ye hadn't expected to see Ji Yao here either.
But remembering that Ji Yao had always been with Lu Jincheng, a sudden realization calmed his heart.
Ignoring the challenging look in Lu Jincheng's eyes, Xu Ye quietly approached Ji Yao and whispered.
"How have you been lately?"
Xu Ye's voice pulled Ji Yao back from her memories. She shook her head but didn't clarify whether the gesture meant her recent days had been good or bad.
