Gu Pianpian and Huo Qing'ang sat in the small courtyard. They maintained a distance of a few meters between them, as Huo Qing'ang was guarding against any sudden advances from Gu Pianpian.

Huo Qing'ang, with his infallible business sense, seemed to question the potential of her new studio.

"Mr. Huo never engages in unprofitable deals," Gu Pianpian replied with a sly smile, seemingly amused by his roundabout praise.

"So, Mrs. Huo is doubting my judgment?" Huo Qing'ang's straightforward words showed that he didn't mind being questioned.

"Your praise is so subtle that I don't know how to react," Gu Pianpian responded with a wry smile. "I'm afraid you'd refuse."
