Kuroda Shio came in with a cup of calming tea and was slightly surprised when he saw his expression.
“Is there… a problem with the letter?”
“No problem.”
Gu Siting put away the letter and locked it in the safe under the desk.
There was no news of that person, nor did he appear.
He almost thought that he could no longer wait for him to appear or wait to hear news of him.
In fact, he even suspected whether or not he had been tricked back then. That Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl simply did not possess such miraculous power.
Hence, that person would never appear again to tell him where she was.
Although this letter came a little late, it also gave him some reassurance.
At the very least, it would let him know that there was an end to his waiting. And the end of his waiting would also be the outcome he wanted.
Kuroda Shio put down the calming tea and asked with a smile, “It’s the person you’re looking for, right? Any news?”
“Yes, I have news.”
Gu Siting took a sip of the tea and finally relaxed.
Kuroda Shio was stunned. The letter from the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl’s master, did that mean… that everything was possible?
Although he found it unbelievable, he also knew that this was not a question he should ask about out of curiosity.
“Then… should we arrange for someone to look for him?”
Gu Siting stayed silent for a moment and then said, “Continue searching.”
Cayman Dorrans had sent someone to keep an eye on him, probably to see if he met with Mr. Gu.
He didn’t want him to find Vivi again so if he asked someone to stop searching at this point, the men from Cayman Dorrans would definitely notice.
It was better to keep looking for it was really just a show for Cayman Dorrans, to make his people think he had no news yet.
In that case, if that person came to meet him, it would not attract too much attention.
“Yes.” Kuroda Shio nodded.
They had just finished talking, when someone knocked on the study door.
Kuroda Shio opened the door and Ling Yan came in with two slices of cake on a plate.
“Brother Siting, I bought your favorite Qi Feng cake.”
Gu Siting looked at the cake on the plate and was stunned for a moment. Instead of eating it, he picked up the document that Kuroda Shio brought back.
He did not like that Qi Feng cake, but Weiwei had liked it when she was younger. He often bought it for her, and as time passed, he also fell in love with it.
Ling Yan stood at the side. Seeing that he had no intention of eating, she pursed her lips and asked weakly, “Brother Siting, I bought this especially for you. Can you please have some?”
Gu Siting looked down at the document and asked, “When will you move back to the Ling Family?”
“I won’t go back, and I won’t break off the engagement with you.” Ling Yan’s eyes reddened with grievance.
He mentioned breaking off the engagement, but she did not agree.
If she left this place and returned to the Ling family, it would mean that she had agreed to annul the engagement.
“You can’t become even Mrs. Ling if you stay here,” Gu Siting said coldly.
There was no trace of Weiwei in her.
“Brother Siting, what’s wrong with you? What did I do wrong? Why did you call off the engagement just like that?” As Ling Yan spoke, she started crying.
Gu Siting said without even looking up, “You didn’t do anything wrong. I just figured out that I shouldn’t have proposed to you.”
He had once thought that with her by his side, he would be able to forget.
However, reality proved that he couldn’t do it.
