Lin Xiao's voice rose by three points as he heard this, "Didn't that Gu Qingyun guy say he brought Gu Yunyun back to Modu with him? Why is she still here?"
"I checked the surveillance. Gu Yunyun slipped away from them, father and son, when they were boarding the plane and then... stayed behind."
Ming Yi added, "As expected of Brother Xiao, your charm has completely conquered Gu Yunyun."
"I wish I didn't have this charm."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and was about to leave the milk tea shop. However, as soon as he stood up, Gu Yunyun, holding a cup of milk tea, sat opposite him. "Brother Xiao!"
"..."
Lin Xiao turned his head, pretending not to see her.
This girl had just rushed in from outside. How did she find him?
"Are you the mole?"
He immediately suspected Ming Yi. Otherwise, he wouldn't believe this little girl could find him?
"Brother Xiao, I swear, it has nothing to do with me," Ming Yi's voice came through the earpiece.
"Then how did she find me?"
Lin Xiao found it strange. He stood up, ready to shake off Gu Yunyun.
Suddenly, his nose twitched.
Gu Yunyun had a peculiar fragrance about her. It wasn't ordinary perfume, but a specially made scent. Moreover, the fragrance was faint. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yunyun's scent was so strong, he wouldn't have noticed it immediately.
"Did your master come?"
Lin Xiao turned and looked at Gu Yunyun.
"Yes!"
She nodded immediately. "I asked my master to help me find you! My master dotes on me the most!"
"That old geezer... meddling!"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but look outside the door.
A woman stood outside.
She looked to be in her thirties or forties, well-maintained, and elegant. She wore an antique-style cheongsam, exuding a charm that ordinary people lacked.
Her makeup also had a Republican era flair, and her hair was styled up, making her appear more dignified and graceful.
She smiled and gestured to Lin Xiao from the doorway.
"Gu Nianci."
Lin Xiao called out her name. "What are you doing in Shashi?"
"My most beloved Yunyun is here, so of course, I am too," Gu Nianci said as she walked into the milk tea shop.
The moment she entered, even the busy staff couldn't help but steal glances at her. Her demeanor made many girls show envious eyes.
This kind of charm was something they found difficult to possess.
"It's only because you dote on her so much that she does such outrageous things."
Lin Xiao felt a headache coming on. "What about Modu without you?"
"Modu will still be Modu without me. Isn't it better without any trouble?" Gu Nianci sat in the seat Lin Xiao had just occupied. "I've traveled a long way. Mr. Lin, won't you buy me a drink?"
"Milk tea?"
"It's not impossible."
"..."
Twenty minutes later, Gu Nianci and Gu Yunyun, master and disciple, sat with satisfied expressions, each holding a cup of milk tea. Lin Xiao sat on the side, his face betraying no hint of joy or sorrow.
He placed a hand on his earpiece. "Why didn't you notify me when Gu Nianci arrived?"
"This..."
Ming Yi felt a little wronged.
How could he have known Gu Nianci was coming?
"Besides you, there are very few people in Longguo who can discover me. Why blame him?"
