That night.
Gu Xinzhou was sleepless all night.
She lay in bed with the window open, gazing out at the night sky.
Her grandmother was right.
She had to bring McDull back immediately.
But over the years in Italy, she had incurred too much debt to Cassie.
If she were to come back now and never return, there probably wouldn't be any interaction in their future lives.
If that were the case...
How would she repay what she owed?
And Cassie, his care for McDull wasn't just for show to win her favor.
The fatherly love he gave, the sincerity he showed, Gu Xinzhou saw it all.
Meanwhile—
McDull had already fallen asleep in the glass greenhouse.
And Cassie was still searching for news on his phone.
The internet was flooded with news about Song Zhen protecting Gu Xinzhou; it was impossible to pretend ignorance.
Cassie silently shed tears.
He knew this was the last thing he could do for Gu Xinzhou, for McDull—leave silently!
Cassie left a letter for Gu Xinzhou.
He took a last glance at McDull's sleeping face, then pulled out a suitcase and began packing his belongings.
As he packed each piece of clothing into the suitcase,
it was like he was picking up pieces of heartache.
He grabbed his phone.
He was about to call Song Zhen, to have him come over.
Once he had handed over this place to Song Zhen, he would leave with his luggage.
Just as he was about to press the button...
he noticed his phone screen light up.
And on it was written just one word: "Her."
This was Cassie's exclusive term of address for Gu Xinzhou.
Upon closer inspection, he quickly answered, "Xinzhou?"
"Cassie, are you busy?"
Gu Xinzhou's voice was still gentle,
Because she had calculated the time difference; twelve o'clock at night in China was six in the evening in Italy.
That would be dinner time, right?
Cassie's nose felt sour as he looked at the neatly packed suitcase, feeling a rush of emotions.
He hadn't expected to hear her voice again.
"Ha-ha, I'm fine, I'm not busy," Cassie said, then suddenly changed his mind: "Xinzhou, there's something I want to tell you."
Gu Xinzhou: "Go ahead."
Cassie: "Actually, McDull and I have been in China, all this time in City B."
"What?" Gu Xinzhou sat up excitedly from the bed, asking incredulously, "You... you've been deceiving me?"
Cassie was very honest: "Yes.
Because I knew you and Song Zhen were in love and that there were misunderstandings between you.
McDull also desperately wanted Song Zhen's love.
So we hid, giving you time to deal with your issues."
Knowing the reason, Gu Xinzhou was moved to the verge of tears: "Cassie..."
"Be happy!" Cassie said with a smile, then added: "I'm sending you the address, can you come over to meet him now?
I've bought this house.
Before you get married, it can serve as a temporary home for you and McDull.
Consider it... a wedding gift from your brother!"
Cassie sent over the address.
Gu Xinzhou dressed quickly and called a ride-hailing service in the middle of the night, rushing to Cassie's complex.
Seeing Gu Xinzhou take a cab in the middle of the night, Song Zhen's men were so startled that they followed while reporting to Song Zhen.
Two hours later.
Cassie opened the gate for Gu Xinzhou, welcoming her in.
This video was captured by the bodyguard and sent to Song Zhen's phone.
Song Zhen's face turned grim in an instant!
"Give me the address!"
He quickly changed clothes and drove after her personally!
He had to see if this little woman had gone mad!
Was she actually leaving Wan'an Town in the middle of the night to meet her lover in the city?
