163 Presence

Xiang Yin heard Gu Man’s blurry and tired voice and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Why are you sleeping so early?”

Gu Man slept well. She was slightly unhappy with Xiang Yin’s disturbance this time, so she said calmly, “It’s nothing. What’s the matter?”

Xiang Yin raised his hand and looked at the time again. It was only past nine. Why was Gu Man so tired?

“Nothing.” Xiang Yin asked again.

“Then I’ll rest first. I’m hanging up.”

Gu Man still had to wake up early tomorrow to pick up her grandmother and the others. She had to rest well. Before Xiang Yin could say “okay”, Gu Man hung up, as if she was very impatient.

Hearing the sound of Gu Man hanging up, Xiang Yin put down his phone with a bitter smile. Wasn’t it too difficult for him to establish his presence?

After a while, he heard the doorbell ring. Xiang Yin thought to himself, could it be that Gu Man felt that it was not good to hang up on him in a hurry and wanted to visit him to explain?

However, after opening the door, it was Bai Yun and Cui Lin. Xiang Yin rolled his eyes at them and returned to the living room without saying anything.

Bai Yun and Cui Lin could already automatically ignore Xiang Yin’s rolling eyes.

Bai Yun even sighed exaggeratedly. “This is the first time I’ve received the treatment of him opening the door so quickly. It’s really rare!”

“I think he mistook us for someone, that’s why we’re being treated like this,” Cui Lin analyzed teasingly.

“Oh, so Second Master is waiting for someone else?” Bai Yun said in realization.

“Get lost if you continue talking nonsense.” Xiang Yin glanced at him coldly.

He was already in a bad mood, and these two fellows still came to tease him, making him even more unhappy.

The two of them were stung by Xiang Yin’s sharp gaze. They looked at each other and read each other’s messages. Could it really be as they said?

The two of them quickly got up and pretended not to know anything. They sat down on the sofa.

“Tomorrow is the guzheng competition in Han City. I’m going to join in the fun. Are you guys going?” Bai Yun finally found a topic.

“Don’t you usually not like to go to such places?” Cui Lin asked.

“My mother and Bai Ling want to go, and the Bai family is the sponsor, so I’ll go,” Bai Yun said in boredom. “After the guzheng competition, there’s still a banquet. If you guys don’t go, I’ll be bored.”

Cui Lin shrugged, indicating that he was helpless. “You don’t have to consider me. I’ve never participated in such events.”

Seeing that Xiang Yin ignored her, Bai Yun thought for a moment and said, “The biggest winner this time will be Gu Rou.”

Xiang Yin then looked at Bai Yun. “She’s participating too?”

“Don’t underestimate her. She’s known as the Guzheng Princess. I heard that she knows other instruments. In the eyes of the people of Han City, she’s a talented woman and a top socialite in the wealthy circle. She has a lot of fans in Han City now, especially male fans,” Bai Yun explained to the two of them.

“Who is Gu Rou to Gu Man?” Cui Lin seemed to have heard this name before.

“She’s Gu Man’s sister.” Bai Yun thought for a while and said, “Strictly speaking, she’s her half-sister.”

“Then Gu Man will go too, right?” Cui Lin asked again.

Xiang Yin replied, “Gu Man moved out of the Gu Family. She didn’t clearly say why though.”

Bai Yun was surprised. “Did she run away from home in a fit of anger, or did she really leave the Gu family and cut ties with them?”

“From what Gu Man said, she cut ties with the Gu family,” Xiang Yin explained.

Bai Yun and Cui Lin both sighed. Cui Lin asked, “Then Miss Gu Man came out to stay alone?”

“Mm.” Xiang Yin nodded.

“I saw that the lights on the third floor were dark just now. Is Gu Man staying elsewhere?” Bai Yun asked.

Cui Lin also knew that Xiang Yin had sold the house downstairs to Gu Man. When he heard Bai Yun say it, he was surprised that Xiang Yin had so many ways to woo a girl.

Seeing Bai Yun mention this, Xiang Yin remembered that Gu Man couldn’t wait to hang up on him just now and felt depressed. “She’s staying downstairs.”

“Then it’s only past nine. Why is she sleeping so early? Why don’t we call her up for supper?” Cui Lin suggested.

Xiang Yin rolled his eyes at him. “Don’t disturb her rest.”

“How do you know she’s resting?” Cui Lin looked at Xiang Yin suspiciously.

Xiang Yin glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered with him.

Cui Lin snorted softly. “You’re so petty. I can’t even ask!”

With that, he went to open a bottle of red wine.
