    Stunned, Gu Sheng was about to answer when someone cut in. “She’s not free. She’s eating with me.”


    The middle-aged man was stunned. He turned around and saw who it was.


    “Young Master Bai.” He looked at Bai Yusheng in shock and confusion. After a while, he turned to look at Gu Sheng. “Miss Gu, you know Young Master Bai?”


    Gu Sheng didn’t say anything as she watched as Bai Yusheng walked towards her.


    She knew that Bai Yusheng might be at tonight’s banquet.


    Hence, she was already mentally prepared.


    She thought that after so long, all feelings should have faded.


    Even though her feelings for this man hadn’tpletely faded, if they met again, she should at least feel more at ease.


    At least, her life wouldn’t be affected by him anymore.


    She wouldn’t lose control of her emotions because of him.


    She hated the feeling of being unable to control herself.


    However, when she saw Bai Yusheng again, she realized that all her mental preparations were in vain.


    She wasn’t as calm as she thought.


    The moment she saw Bai Yusheng, she couldn’t maintain herposure.


    This man had a deeper impact on her than she thought.


    “Gu Sheng.” Bai Yusheng stood in front of her and sized her up for a few seconds. He smiled and greeted her like an old friend. “You’re back. Long time no see.”


    Gu Sheng’s heart trembled.


    He sounded so nonchnt when they met again after so long. His expression and eyes were as if he was just treating her as an old friend.


    There was nothing else.


    But what was funny was that she couldn’t be like him.


    No matter how calm she looked, she knew best what was really going on in her heart.


    “Mr. Bai.” Gu Sheng clenched his fists. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out a faint smile. “Long time no see.”


    “When did youe back?” Bai Yusheng asked casually. “Have you arranged a ce to stay? If not, I can help you find a suitable ce.”


    Looking at his nonchnt expression and thinking about her own uneasiness, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a little angry.


    She wasn’t angry at Bai Yusheng, but at herself.


    He was so calm as if nothing had happened between them.


    Why couldn’t she?


    Why was she still affected by him after so many years?


    Why couldn’t she work harder!


    If Bai Yusheng could do it, so could she!


    At this thought, Gu Sheng’s expression became colder, and her tone became even more polite. “I’ve already found a ce to stay, so I won’t trouble you, Mr. Bai.”


    “Is that so?” Bai Yusheng smiled. “Gu Sheng, we’re old friends. You don’t have to be so polite with me. If you need anything, you can look for me.”


    “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bai.. If I really need any help, I’ll let you know.”
