Gu Xizhou and Huo Qing'ang, involved in a clandestine affair?

In the early days of autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus wafted in through the open windows, filling every nook and cranny of the bedroom with its sweet aroma. As Gu Pianpian awoke, she found Huo Qing'ang seated in the courtyard, sipping coffee.

It seemed he had timed her waking precisely, for on the cherrywood tray, there lay the steaming aroma of Americano coffee, a must-have for her each morning. She hesitated for a moment when he placed the tray within her reach, her drowsy eyes revealing a fleeting surprise. "Thank you."

According to Huo Qing'ang's usual schedule, he should have been busy in his office at this hour, barely finding time to even drink water. "Huo, aren't you going to the company today?" Gu Pianpian asked as she cradled her coffee cup and took a small sip.

Huo Qing'ang nodded, his deep, serene eyes resembling a tranquil lake. "I'm waiting for someone."
