"But being so blatant about this, aren't you afraid of Mr. Tang anymore?"
Gu Shaojun lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair. "Why would I be afraid of him? I only need to respect him. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away here. No matter how capable Mr. Tang is, he can't just fly over. So I can…"
"You can't! The consequences will be severe!"
"What kind of consequences could there be? What were you thinking? I just meant I can finally hold my darling and get a good, comfortable night's sleep!"
Gu Shaojun changed the subject, first telling her about his recent situation and a potential job transfer in the new year, before bringing up Gu Shaozhen.
"Why didn't Shaozhen return to Beijing? Why did he come here with you? You were clearly the one driving, yet he's the one who looks exhausted. What has he been up to?" Xiao Man was also curious. She didn't believe for a second that he'd come running just for a single phone call from her Grandpa.
