Deep Fog Kiss

The man on the other end of the phone paused for a second, then said, "What nonsense is this?"

Jiang Li chuckled, "I'm just being nosy."

There are all sorts of rumors circulating about who will be in charge of the SL Group.

Some say he is already in his seventies or eighties, but he is still strong and healthy and has not retired.

Some say he was in his prime, with a large harem of wives and concubines.

Some people say he's not even thirty yet, but he's incredibly handsome and a bachelor.

There are all sorts of opinions.

Gu Zhishen spoke up, "Don't listen to that nonsense, it'll make your brain stupid."

Jiang Li giggled and asked again, "So, does it exist, or doesn't it?"

She inquired about Mikala's situation so that she could find the right solution.

If Mikara were truly that powerful man's mistress, then not only her, but even her teacher, Salinger, would probably have to give Mikara some face.

Gu Zhishen thought for a second, then said with a smile, "I have no lover, only a fiancée."

"Oh?" Jiang Li's eyes widened and her mouth gaped open in surprise. "Fiancée?"

She asked in surprise, "Isn't he an old man?"

She thought Mika was an old man.

Gu Zhishen asked with a smile, "Who told you he was an old man?"

"That's what everyone's saying, but I've never seen it myself."

She figured that Gu Zhishen often went to the SL Group headquarters for meetings, so he must have met that mysterious person in charge.

She bit her pen, "So, you're saying he's a young man? Not married yet, but has a fiancée?"

Gu Zhishen thought for a moment, then hummed in agreement.

Jiang Li opened Mikala's information on her computer and asked, "Is her fiancée Chinese?"

This time, the man answered directly, "Yes."

Jiang Li gasped.

Could it be Mikala?

The head of the SL Group has such poor taste! He chose a fiancée like this!

Mikala has a very bad reputation in the industry, and his character is even worse.

He has a bad temper and a poor attitude.

They also show no respect for industry veterans.

If she really were the fiancée of the head of the SL Group, then it would be rather embarrassing to be seen with her.

Looking at Mikala's photos again, her appearance has evolved four times in the four years since her debut.

From version 1.0 to the current version 4.0, it's practically a complete facelift.

Her eyebrows and eyes were almost stiff, making it impossible for her to make a lively expression.

This is a major taboo for actors.

Jiang Li clicked her tongue twice. "This is true love."

"What?" Gu Zhishen asked.

"It's nothing." Jiang Li leaned back in her chair, her brows, which had been furrowed all day, relaxed. "Hearing your voice makes me feel good."

"Gu Zhishen".

She called out to him in a lazy tone, a smile playing on her lips, "I kind of miss you."

"How much is 'a little'?" Gu Zhishen asked.

Jiang Li couldn't see Gu Zhishen's expression, but she could hear the man's deep and gentle voice.

It was as if he were gently stroking her ear.

She looked at the white paper filled with dozens of his names and smiled.

"Well, just a tiny bit."

"Not enough," the man demanded domineeringly. "You need to really want it."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Li was wondering who would come looking for her since she hadn't ordered any food.

The man on the phone suddenly said, "I ordered you some food, and some brown sugar ginger tea."

Jiang Li's clear, bright eyes darted around. "How did you know which hotel I was in?"

Gu Zhishen smiled, "I have informants."

Jiang Li went to open the door, and a hotel waiter pushed a food cart in.

She had someone bring the food in and place it on the dining table, then, holding her phone, she asked with a smile, "You didn't let that Leng Feng come with me to the film set, did you?"

Gu Zhishen smiled but did not answer. "Drink the drink to warm your stomach."

He also thoughtfully instructed, "If you need anything else, just ask the hotel to prepare it. If you're not feeling well, rest for the next few days and don't work."

Jiang Li looked at the food that had been brought in; it was all Chinese dishes that she loved.

There are also snacks and desserts.

And a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea.

She whispered, "It seems like my period has been postponed."

"Not here yet?"

The man on the other end of the phone glanced at the calendar and then searched online.

There are several reasons why menstruation may be delayed.

The man's gaze swept to the most obvious one—pregnancy.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his brows furrowed.

He didn't manage to get it in before returning to China this time.

He only relieved her between the legs once.

Last time...

He used a condom and took precautions every time they had sex.

And he checked it, and the condom was fine.

He didn't want Jiang Li to get pregnant too early, nor did he want to have a child before she was ready.

Therefore, he has always been very careful about such matters.

His gaze shifted downwards, and he saw another reason.

Recent stress, anxiety, staying up late and insomnia, or mental tension can all cause delayed menstruation.

"Don't worry."

He spoke, looking at the line of text and reading it aloud: "Recent changes in the environment, business trips, and other factors can also interfere with the brain's regulation of ovulation."

"If ovulation is delayed, menstruation will also be delayed."

He read it meticulously, then glanced at the other scenarios below.

The effects of birth control pills and other medications can be ruled out.

As Jiang Li listened to his clear, cool voice speaking those words, her flushed cheeks buried in her palms.

"Hmm...I understand."

Her voice was soft, and it was hard to imagine how Gu Zhishen could say those words so calmly without changing his expression.

"If you haven't come in a few days, or if you feel unwell, tell me immediately."

Gu Zhishen said, "If necessary, you should see a doctor."

Jiang Li nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, I understand."

She picked up the dessert and returned to her desk. "I guess I'm just in a different environment since I came to the film set, and I haven't adjusted yet."

Gu Zhishen gave a soft "hmm," and thinking of what Huo Jinyan said about the WE team rejecting all collaborations, he roughly guessed that she must have been under a lot of work pressure lately.

In addition, the incident involving Shu Dahai last time also affected her emotions.

"I'll come over as soon as I finish my work," Gu Zhishen said. "Wait for me."

"Okay." Jiang Li scooped up a bite of cake; it was sweet.

She thought that it wouldn't be long before Gu Zhishen wouldn't have to travel back and forth like this.

Once this project is finished, she plans to return to China.

Before hanging up, Gu Zhishen said, "Take a picture and send it to me."

Jiang Li glanced down at her clothes. "Now?"

"Yes, now," Gu Zhishen said, "I want to see you."

"Alright then, here's a lucky photo as a reward for you."

Jiang Li hung up the phone, opened her camera, held the small cake in one hand, and raised her phone in the other.

With a "click," he took a selfie and sent it to Gu Zhishen.

She put down her phone and the cake, just as she was about to start working.

As he gathered the papers from the table, his gaze fell on the names she had just written down.

When she made the phone call, she subconsciously wrote the three characters "Gu Zhishen" on a piece of paper.

Numerous names were written and drawn on the white paper, neatly and beautifully in handwriting.

She got up to open the door when she had only written one stroke of a name and hadn't even finished writing it.

Just as she was about to pick up her pen to finish the remaining strokes, she suddenly froze when the pen tip touched the paper.

She only wrote one stroke of the character "顾".

The pen tip paused below the character "厂" (factory), and the ink spread across the white paper.
