After leaving the bar, Lu Zhanbei didn't waste a minute and headed straight home.
As soon as he got home, Gu Qianqian came forward to greet him, took his coat in one hand, and asked with concern, "Where did you go? I called Dad and he said you left long ago…"
"Had a few drinks with Mr. Bei Cenxiao, came back as soon as I got your call."
He honestly explained his whereabouts, but Gu Qianqian stiffened upon hearing the name Mr. Bei Cenxiao.
Noticing her reaction, Lu Zhanbei turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"
"Are things really serious?"
"Why do you ask?"
Given that she's his pillow partner, the person who knows him the best, even though he hadn't said anything, she sensitively picked up on the nuance: "You usually don't like asking Mr. Bei Cenxiao for help, do you?"
Although Lu Zhanbei never explicitly stated, three years ago, Ling Weixuan's case somewhat involved the Bai family. Since then, Lu Zhanbei both revered and resented the Bai family.
