As Chu Ge kept typing away, he began to grow restless.
Why was Qiu Wuji taking so long just to buy groceries? It was almost noon.
He forced himself to finish and publish the new chapter, then could no longer sit still. He got up and paced around the living room, wondering whether to call her.
Just as he reached the door, it clicked open. Qiu Wuji looked at Chu Ge, who was wandering around like a headless chicken, in slight surprise. Then she realized why, and her eyes quickly curved into crescents. "I'm back."
Chu Ge let out a breath, then stared. "Why are you wearing office clothes again?"
It had been so long since he had seen her looking so sophisticated. She really was beautiful.
His gaze unconsciously traveled downward to see whether she was wearing black stockings and heels.
She really was!
Qiu Wuji's face was expressionless. "Had your fill yet?"
"You, uh..." Chu Ge smiled ingratiatingly. "It's been ages since you dressed like this."
"I'm your assistant now. This looks the part best."
Chu Ge beamed. "Right, right!"
Qiu Wuji took off her heels and came inside, her little stockinged feet touching the floor. "Where are my slippers?"
Chu Ge bent down, picked them up, and eagerly brought them over. "Allow your disciple to change your shoes, Master..."
A little black-stockinged foot kicked out at him. "Get lost!"
Chu Ge rolled back to his feet and reached for her bags with an ingratiating smile. "Let's see what groceries you bought today... Huh? A Yixing teapot? It's huge..."
Qiu Wuji snatched the teapot back and hurried into the kitchen with it in her arms. "This is good stuff! I'll brew some tea and show you."
Chu Ge followed her in with another large bag of tea leaves,
