Fang Cheng had tried several times to pet the cat, but failed every time. He didn't give up, though.
There was no need to rush. He had plenty of time to find other female monsters.
He stayed and played with Ugou Mirai until evening. Only when Yuguang Qingxue urged her did she reluctantly say goodbye.
Before leaving, Ugou Mirai hesitated for a long while. Finally, she gathered her courage and whispered to Fang Cheng, "Brother Cheng, could I join your agency?"
Fang Cheng glanced at the expressionless Yuguang Qingxue. "No."
Ugou Mirai froze in place, her disappointment plain to see.
Fang Cheng smiled again. "But you can work here temporarily and be evaluated. If you meet the requirements, you can join us."
"Really?"
Ugou Mirai immediately brightened with joy, and even her steps grew lighter.
She skipped ahead. Yuguang Qingxue deliberately lagged a couple of steps behind and spoke to Fang Cheng in a barely audible voice. "I don't know what you intend to do by entering the Iron-Cast Palace, but you must not use the Yuguang Family to achieve that goal. This is both advice and a warning. Please keep it in mind."
After speaking, she bowed slightly to Fang Cheng, then entered the elevator with Ugou Mirai.
Fang Cheng watched the elevator doors slowly close and sighed.
It seemed no one was a fool. They had already seen through how he'd deliberately maintained a good relationship with Ugou Mirai lately.
But Yuguang Qingxue thought he was trying to use the Yuguang Family to enter the Iron-Cast Palace. She didn't know that this had been Kanzaki Rin's plan.
On the way home, Ugou Mirai kept talking about everything that had made her happy that day and about her plans to go out with Fang Cheng again.
