Venue:
Gu Nian watched as Jing Rui was unfriendly towards Ji Yang, her mouth twitching slightly.
"General Ji... I've wanted to see you for a long time. You really made a splash in Seattle before."
"You flatter me."
The two men exchanged words with an undercurrent of tension, their firm handshakes saying everything that words did not.
"By the way, General Ji, which piece of land caught your eye today? If you're interested, just let me know, I might, just might, let you have it."
"No need, gentlemen don't covet what others desire. I suspect Young Master Jing is here because he's interested in a piece of land for the auction, so perhaps we should rely on our own abilities to avoid any hard feelings."
Hearing Ji Yang's words, Jing Rui's mouth curled up in a smirk laced with rogueish charm, his gaze falling on Gu Nian.
"Who said I'm here for the land? I'm here for someone..."
Gu Nian: "..."
If she didn't understand now, she would be an idiot.
