Uncle Wang wasn't around for the past few days, and the Gu Mansion was particularly quiet. Lou Yan had been looking for a chance to be alone with Gu Xiao, even fantasizing about a romantic candlelit dinner for two.
But things don't always go as planned.
When she was home, Gu Xiao was not, and on the rare occasions that he was, Qin Youbei was also there, making any private time impossible. Gu Xiao was always on the third floor, and their chances to meet were pitifully few.
In two days, she would have to return.
Luckily, Qin Youbei had afternoon classes, not returning until eight in the evening. Lou Yan had specifically taken the day off to prepare a lavish dinner.
All the lights were out, leaving only the candles, creating an excellent atmosphere.
Gu Xiao arrived home somewhat late and, upon seeing Lou Yan's meticulous arrangements, subtly furrowed his brow.
