At one in the afternoon, Li Qiao woke up.
The bedroom had blackout curtains drawn, dimming the light and bringing a quiet peace.
About half an hour later, she walked out of the bedroom unhurriedly.
In the living room, Shang Yu was not there, and only Luoyu sat on the couch, looking down at her phone.
Hearing the door open, she hurriedly stood up, "Miss Li."
Li Qiao nodded lazily, "Where are they?"
"The boss and Mr. Meng are next door, and Gu Chen... Mr. Gu has gone back to the company."
Li Qiao 'hmm'ed softly and turned to gaze out at the serene autumn day, standing by the window lost in thought.
She had fallen asleep this morning in Shang Yu's arms. Just before slipping into deep sleep, she vaguely heard him seem to say something.
Last night, Xiao Yehui lost thirty men, but there were other mercenaries in Aida State who hadn't made their move, hidden in the shadows.
This operation, although it seemed like his defeat, in reality... he had already got what he wanted.
