Ru had a gobsmacked[1] look plastered on her face. She really couldn't believe her eyes. Perhaps, my eyes are playing a joke with me. She wondered to herself and rubbed her eyes repeatedly. "Did I press the wrong button or something?" She asked out loud to herself.

But the answer came from the annoying assistant, "There seems to be no mistake in the results."

Rubbing her thin lips with the pad of her index finger, she pondered over the possibilities. "It seems this lord needs to make a visit to Ji Family Residence himself."

"Incoming video call from Xiao Zhi Ren." Ru was in a daze and that's why she didn't even bother to carefully let Raven's words sink in before she said, "Connect the call."

As the call was just connected, Ru's eyes dropped on the single towel wrapped around her body. Without thinking, she plopped down on the floor to hide.

"Rong?" Xiao Zhi Ren's mellow voice could be heard. Obviously, he was expecting to see his sworn brother but instead, he could only see an empty room.

"Yeah," Ru answered from under the table.

"Where are you?"

Ru facepalmed herself at being such a blockhead. Thinking of a solution, she slightly craned her neck to show her face to Xiao Zhi Ren. Then gave him a wave with her fingers, "Hi! How are you?"

She didn't even realize that at that moment, Xiao Zhi Ren had a look of astonishment on his face.

With water dripping from her wet hair and dropping on her bare shoulders, along with those prominent and gorgeous beauty bones, she was a sight to behold. He could even see her slightly flushed cheeks perhaps because of the hot water or cold chills, but she looked really adorable.

Xiao Zhi Ren's Adam apple bobbed up and down before he coughed lightly to clear his throat and shook his head. "What the hell are you doing under the table?" In his flustered state, he had raised his voice unnecessarily.

"I'm playing football, want to join?" Ru really couldn't help it. Her tongue really wasn't in her control. Realizing that she was in no position to bicker, she added, "I mean, I lost a penny. I'm looking for it." Ru suddenly felt proud of her own quick thinking. It was a pity that she couldn't pat herself before him otherwise, she would have done it for sure.

Xiao Zhi Ren rolled his eyes at her being such a stingy person. How shameful it seemed that a billionaire was looking for a penny? "I'll give you a penny for your thought."

Ru's mouth twitched at his sarcasm. She pointed her index finger at him and was about to stand up in rage when her falling towel saved her from being exposed. She held it tightly and reminded herself repeatedly not to banter.

"Zhi Hyung, why are you calling me at this time?" She asked through gritted teeth.

"Did you take a shower? Why is your hair wet?" Xiao Zhi Ren distracted her again with his own question.

Ru touched her hair and nodded, "I had to take a shower. It was raining cats and dogs outside. London's people can be predictable but its weather can't be."

"You are in London?" Ru bit her tongue at slipping like this. What was wrong with her?

"Heh heh..." She laughed awkwardly. "My favorite team was going to play today but the match canceled because of rain."

Someone is indignant over the rain. Ren really wanted to smack her head. He thought Ru left for work but who knew this sworn brother was out and about just for his football team.

"I called you to inform that my grandmother has invited me to a banquet next week. Would you like to join?" Ru shook her head without even thinking. She just wanted him to hang up already. Her legs had gone numb from squatting in such an awkward position. "As you wi-," His words were yet to leave his mouth when he saw her flailing her hand frantically before the camera.

"I want to join. Definitely, do. No doubt about that." Xiao Zhi Ren frowned at her talking weirdly.

"What are you planning?" He eyed her suspiciously as if trying to find her guilty conscious but Ru was called a stone-face, how could he find anything from her expression if she didn't allow him to? He suddenly gasped and said, "Don't tell me you're going to steal my grandfather's antique collection."

Ru was amazed at his way of thinking. Last time, she did say she was interested in the antique collection of the Old Patriarch of Ji family but steal? She is no thief!

"What do you mean by steal?" She glared at him.
