Ning Li found Gu Tinglan's question confusing. He made it sound like she had to report to Lu Huaiyu wherever she went.

As a matter of fact, she had told everyone that she was going back to Lincheng, but only Wei Songze knew that she was actually going to the capital. Lu Huaiyu did not even know she was leaving Yunzhou for the weekend.

She rubbed the boarding pass in her hand tightly. It seemed like she could not fool Gu Tinglan anymore.

"Not yet."

Gu Tinglan nodded. "For how long?"

"For the weekend. I still have to go back to class on Monday." Since she could not escape Gu Tinglan, she might as well be honest with the man.

Gu Tinglan sat down beside her. "There's still some time before boarding. Sit down."

She then sat down.

Gu Tinglan looked at her with a meaningful gaze. He looked like he was trying to pry the girl open to find out more. Ning Li was only 17 years old. What was so important that she had to fly to the capital on a weekend alone?

Judging from her brief luggage, he could tell that she was not there for a getaway.

The calmness in her eyes and her tone made it seem like she had prepared for this a while ago.

Fortunately, Gu Tinglan knew where to stop. Ning Li's privacy was involved, and since the girl did not tell him more, he should not be asking why she was going to the capital.

"Dr. Gu, you are going back to the capital for a business trip?" Ning Li asked.

"I guess you can say so, but it's not entirely right." Gu Tinglan smiled awkwardly as he recalled the contents of the phone call earlier. "I've got a friend's appointment."

Ning Li nodded silently. She heard that Gu Tinglan had grown up aboard and most of the Gu family properties were scattered across the globe. However, the Gu family knew their roots and had been maintaining a strong connection with their own businesses within the country.

Gu Tinglan came from an excellent family, and the man was amazing himself. He was very likable. It was rare for him to come back to the country, so attending social gatherings was common for him.

"Do you have a place to stay in the capital? If not, I can do you a favor."

"Thank you, Dr. Gu. I've booked a place." Ning Li really wished that she could part ways with Gu Tinglan after reaching the capital. It was already surprising to meet the man at the airport, and she did not want her plans to be disrupted.

Gu Tinglan was a smart man, and he knew what Ning Li was hinting at. Nevertheless, he was not concerned at all. Instead, he smiled and gave her a name card.

"This is my name card. I'll be in the capital for a whole week. You can contact me if there's anything you need."

Ning Li received it with both hands and thanked the man. Given Gu Tinglan's status, there were countless others who tried to win his favor, so the name card was considered a precious gift.

Gu Tinglan then looked out of the window and suddenly asked, "Ning Li, have you ever seen me before?"

Ning Li froze for a moment. She subtly denied it, "No."

Did Gu Tinglan notice something hence the question?

However, Ning Li had always been careful and she only had limited meetings with Gu Tinglan, so he should not have noticed anything strange.
