Thankfully, She Came

Ning Xi rang the doorbell of the hotel room.

Almost immediately after she rang it, the door opened.

The youth who answered the door looked uneasy and nervous, not able to hide his excitement. "Boss! You're here!"

When he saw Ning Xi, Gong Shangze looked slightly relieved.

After all, Ning Xi's appearance in Los Angeles was so abrupt. He had not slept well last night, afraid that he would wake up to find that this was all a dream. He woke up the first thing in the morning and waited for Ning Xi to come for him, afraid that she would not appear or that something wrong he had done would make her regret and change her mind. He was afraid that he would fall into another pit of hopelessness and despair...

Thankfully, she was here.

Ning Xi looked at Gong Shangze who was dressed up and asked, "Ready? Let's just go then."

"Mmm, let's go!"

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yes, I have. The hotel provides it in the morning."
