But Bai Ruozhu turned around, only to find that the private room was empty! She was surprised as she swept her eyes across the room and even glanced under the short table, but there was no sign of Gao Zhou anywhere. Could it be that in the time it took for her to turn her head, he disappeared into thin air?
When she looked towards the window again, she noticed it was open, with one side still slightly trembling. She then understood that Gao Zhou must have left through the window.
Why did he suddenly leave without so much as a word? She hastily got up and rushed to the window, looking down at the bustling street below, but she could not spot Uncle Gao Zhou's figure.
The door was pulled open, and Jiang Yichun walked into the room, "Didn't you say you were inviting friends over? Haven't they arrived yet?"
Bai Ruozhu was still in a state of confusion, but when she turned her head to meet his scrutinizing gaze, she immediately felt annoyed.
