“Yibei…” A very cheerful female voice could be heard from the other end of the phone which told her she was close to him.

No other words came for a while after that from the caller.

Fang Chixia was sitting close to Luo Yibei so when he picked up the phone, it was just near her side.

At such a distance, Fang Chixia could clearly hear the voice of the person on the phone.

Su Ran remained silent for a while before her voice came again, “I want to back home…”

In such a brief sentence, nothing else was forthcoming, and she sounded even hesitant saying just that line.

Luo Yibei seemed taken aback but the expression on his face solidified in just seconds.

Fang Chixia herself was startled. Her hand holding the menu, as she looked at what to order, slightly stiffened.

Luo Yibei’s line of sight passed by and implicitly sighted her out the corner of his eye.

Fang Chixia who had her head lowered just so happened to lift her head and also look at him.

Obviously, she did not expect to meet his eyes on her. Her face instantly reddened in her fluster and immediately dropped her gaze down.

With her head down, she took the menu and continued choosing a meal as if nothing had happened.

Luo Yibei remained silent after Su Ran’s declaration and after a few seconds, he faintly returned, “Let’s talk later!”

With a few simple words, he ended the call.

Fang Chixia turned the menu, page after page a little bit rapidly, but nothing stirred her appetite.

After leafing through through the whole menu again and again, she finally put it down.

Luo Yibei quietly picked up another book, called the waiter and in fluent French, ordered sets of French cuisines.

When their meal was delivered, their table suddenly turned uncomfortably quiet.

None of them spoke and just solved the meal all the way through.

When they arrived back home, Luo Yibei received a call from Luo Xichen informing him that Luo Yibei had been assigned to go to a branch office in Nice, France for a period of time.

There are numerous branches of of the Luo’s business at home and abroad. The branch in Nice has always been managed by Luo Xichen but with his and Sha Zhixing’s plan of going on a Nordic trip recently, he decided to temporarily trasfer control to Luo Yibei for a month’s time.

Luo Yibei generally never refutes any of Luo Xichen’s arrangements.

Nice, he’s got to go.

At then end of the call, his eyes subtly wandered across Fang Chixia’s face.

Fang Chixia was propped on the sofa caressing Tuantuan’s fur. She kept on petting and teasing it, with tingles of laughter from time to time, regardless of the cat’s inability to understand human speech.

Standing a few meters away, Luo Yibei lingered over her for a while and casually said, “I will be going abroad for some time.”

Fang Chixia was at the moment holding two of Tuantuan’s claws but hearing him stilled her eyes.


Luo Yibei studied her reaction and added, “I’m going to Nice.”

His eyes were fixated on her reaction. Listening to Luo Xichen’s order, he just wanted to know what she thought of it.

Fang Chixia was surprised.

He has been abroad many times. In such a position, going abroad for him was a common occurence.

But, previously, he had never taken the initiative to tell her of his trips.

They were resembled two strangers. When he needed to go somewhere, he goes straight away. Except in the evening of course, as if she didn’t exist around him.

But now, he volunteered to tell her that and didn’t even need her to ask.

Fang Chixia made no response but after a moment’s silence, her face slowly lifted up.
