The car left the city behind, heading straight for the lakeside villa. Leng Zimo had previously purchased a house here, and later, when Xu Pei heard about it, she bought a home in the same neighborhood. Therefore, he didn’t call her but went directly to the villa complex.
The outcome was unexpected.
The pair stopped the car outside Xu Pei’s door but saw no lights on in the villa.
"She’s probably asleep. Otherwise, shall we deal with it tomorrow morning?" Luo Xiaoqian got out of the car and looked at the dark windows of the villa.
Leng Zimo didn’t think much of it and got back in the car, taking her to his own villa in the same community to rest.
...
...
The next morning.
The two came back to Xu Pei’s villa, and Luo Xiaoqian went up to ring the doorbell.
However, after several attempts, there was no response.
Luo Xiaoqian stepped back two paces, looked at the windows with curtains wide open, and glanced at her watch, "She couldn’t still be asleep, could she?"
Leng Zimo checked his wristwatch and immediately took out his phone to call Xu Pei.
Knowing Xu Pei as he did, he understood that she was always serious about her work and even had the habit of exercising in the morning; she couldn’t possibly still be in bed at this time.
In the apartment.
Xu Pei had just finished her morning exercise and was fresh out of the shower when she heard her phone. She went straight to the living room, saw Leng Zimo’s number, and answered the call immediately.
"Hello, Zimo, what’s up so early?"
"I’m not at home? Why didn’t you respond when I rang the doorbell?" Leng Zimo asked.
