Promise Me One Thing

"I already told you on the phone that I have to study until late into the night." Gu Nianzhi made adjustments to her tone of voice and her words, but she still felt helpless. Huo Shaoheng had called her at five in the afternoon and said that he would pick her up for dinner and to take her to his official residence to celebrate her birthday.

Gu Nianzhi graciously declined. She never imagined that Huo Shao would come, but he was still waiting for her there. She couldn't help but wonder if that was because he was worried about her, or because he thought that she was lying, so he had gone over there to expose her lie and call her out on it.
