Qu Xiangru responded calmly, "Please tell the Old Lady that I've just taken on the role of Lingjiang City Secretary, and I'm very busy, so I might not find the time."
Jiang Yiren's lips moved slightly, finally, she softly muttered a "hmm."
After she left, Song Guanchao wanted to tease her, saying, aren't you looking for a blind date? Why are you refusing?
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Qu Xiangru is different from other women.
Such teasing would only backfire.
Qu Xiangru seemed to be in a low mood. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, yet she suddenly asked, "What are your plans for New Year's?"
"Me?" Song Guanchao replied, "Of course, I'll go back on New Year's Eve, but there's a lot of work. After finishing up, I'll probably get home in the evening."
"Are you a local?"
"Yeah."
"That's nice."
Song Guanchao noticed her low spirits and wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
"You go ahead with your work."
"Alright."
