After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 508 - 401: High-End Boyfriend

"The available investment resources in the primary market have become scarce, so we had no choice but to go along with them and break our original plan to enter the secondary market," Ze Wu added, frowning.

But the secondary market is brutal, with enemies everywhere lying in wait, ready to expose and devour them, all with a smile on their faces.

They are hunters themselves, yet they are also very likely to become prey of the prey.

...

With work temporarily paused, just in time for Shi Wangyue’s business trip.

Ning Youguang accepted an invitation from Gu Xi to go out for afternoon tea.

Winter, and the weather is sunny.

The two arranged to meet at Langyuan Park by Shijingshan, where there is a Jimu Cafe.

It’s a cafe that Gu Xi has treasured for a long time.

"Thanks to you, I can finally check in at Langyuan Park and Jimu Cafe," Gu Xi, wearing a khaki cashmere coat, sat in the passenger seat of Ning Youguang’s car, in an extremely good mood.

"Thanks to you, I can go out for afternoon tea," Ning Youguang replied with a gentle smile.

The drowsy afternoon sunlight filtered through the car window, warming them both.

"No, our success in arranging afternoon tea this time is purely thanks to the scholar god’s business trip," Gu Xi remarked with mock-resignation, "Mr. Ning, you’re a very busy person, working 18 hours a day, so hard to schedule with."

This year, she tried to meet Ning Youguang countless times but never succeeded.

Every time she asked, the first question was, "Do you have something important?"

This made Gu Xi feel that without something important, she dared not waste time with small talk.

Sometimes she actually had something to discuss, hoping to meet up, have a meal or something.

But Ning Youguang usually managed to settle things via video call instead of meeting in person.

After a few times, Gu Xi couldn’t help but feel frustrated, wondering if she really wasn’t ambitious enough.

Ning Youguang chuckled, "My work has slowed down this year, lately I’ve been more free. If Wangyue isn’t traveling, you ask me out, I can come."

Gu Xi glanced at her, "Are you serious?"

Ning Youguang nodded lightly.

Gu Xi promptly said, "Then let’s have hot pot next weekend."

Ning Youguang thought for a moment and said, "Next week won’t work."

Gu Xi immediately rolled her eyes, "See, see, hmph!"

Ning Youguang laughed, "Next weekend Wangyue happens to return, I should tidy up the house, right?"

Gu Xi sighed, "Mr. Ning, you’re talented, gentle, and virtuous, loved deeply by such an incredible woman. The scholar god must have saved the galaxy in his past life."

Ning Youguang looked helpless, "Where am I virtuous? He’s been away for over a week, if I don’t tidy up, how can he rest at night?"

"Oh, the house is so good that just being empty for over a week makes it uninhabitable?" Gu Xi retorted.

Ning Youguang shook her head, "Wangyue is a neat freak."

Gu Xi clicked her tongue, "You’re really good to him."

Ning Youguang laughed, "He’s good to me too."

Seeing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder, "I’m really curious why you two have been together so long, living together, long-distance, but still as good as newly in love, it’s extremely rare."

"We’re not long-distance," Ning Youguang corrected.

"Well, it’s about the same," Gu Xi waved her hand, "Anyway, there’s no one else around you, always in touch even abroad, it’s hardly different from a relationship."

"I’m not," Ning Youguang blushed.

Seeing this, Gu Xi smiled even more smugly, "You’re not, but can you guarantee the scholar god isn’t?"

"..." Ning Youguang.

Gu Xi burst into laughter, "You don’t dare guarantee, right? So, am I wrong?"

Ning Youguang had nothing to say, so she focused on driving.

Gu Xi, however, was relentless, "Didn’t I say, you’ve long been like an old married couple. In high school, I could see the scholar god was dependable."

...

Soon, they entered Jimu Cafe.

Located in Langyuan, this cafe features a clean, industrial design in shades of grey and white.

The moment they walked in, they noticed lots of fresh flowers used as subtle decor. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The cafe was just full of patrons.

Fortunately, shortly after they entered, a table by the window started settling their bill, giving them a spot with a great view.

Sitting down made them even happier.

Because not only is the cafe beautifully decorated, but the drinks and desserts on the menu also look exceptionally exquisite.

In winter, each drink and dessert is paired with fresh flowers.
