As Xia Cheng finished speaking, Lu Beicheng finally came to his senses and looked directly at Gu Nanyan, "Yes, I'm back."
Lu Beicheng's distraction had only made Gu Nanyan more composed. She glanced at the person behind him and said, "Then, you must be busy. I have a meeting, so I'll go ahead."
Lu Beicheng quickly responded, "Alright." His reaction seemed still a bit distracted.
Nanyan remained calm, a smile flickered toward Xia Cheng as a response to his earlier words, and then she strode off.
Lu Beicheng turned around, but Nanyan did not look back; her departure was decisive.
"BOSS," Xia Cheng called out to him, prompting Lu Beicheng to regain his composure. He then casually continued talking about the work they had been discussing as if nothing had happened. His presence was as commanding as ever, and his stride was still brisk, as if his encounter with Gu Nanyan hadn't caused him to lose focus.
