Gu Shili stared at the empty space where her figure used to be, lost in thought for a long time, feeling somewhat uneasy, though he couldn't quite pinpoint why. It wasn't the kind of unease that stems from fearing she'd be in danger, but rather a different kind altogether.
On the way back, Gu Shili received a call from Yang Yafei, asking if he had time to have a meal together as today was his mother's birthday.
Gu Shili was in a bad mood at the moment and rejected her outright, saying he had important matters and couldn't make it.
Yang Yafei had no choice but to hang up disappointed.
She held the phone in a daze, thinking Yang Lifan was truly foolish, offending her own son so severely—there was really no one like her.
"Yafei, what are you thinking about?" Yang Lifan walked over swiftly, noticing her lost in thought, and asked aloud.
"Oh, I was thinking since today is your birthday, where should we go to celebrate it? Today is your big day, we ought to celebrate it properly."
