Jiang Guo composed her thoughts and responded with a light laugh, "I'm afraid I can't do that. After all, in my heart, you're not just a friend but also a brother to me. There's both a sense of family and friendship. So, asking me to give up one of those feelings and keep only the other is quite difficult."

Hearing Jiang Guo's description, Ge Zheng sighed helplessly, "Sharp-tongued."

Jiang Guo smiled back and replied sincerely, "I mean it."

Ge Zheng smiled again and was about to say something when someone called him from nearby. He instantly suppressed his emotions, responded to the call, and then turned to Jiang Guo, saying, "I still have some work to deal with next, and it might take about four or five days. I won't be able to contact you during that time, but I'll be back as soon as I finish up here."
