After the lively Spring Festival, everyone who was supposed to return had come back. Everything seemed unchanged, but Li Xiu was often so busy he was nowhere to be seen. Zhou Lian could only see him at night when it was time for bed.
Zhou Lian understood. 'This must be the crucial time for Ping'an's transfer.' No wonder Li Xiu was too busy to come home. She sighed and instructed Sister Fang to stew some more brain-boosting tonics for Li Xiu.
Finally, as spring turned to summer, Li Xiu had some free time. When Zhou Lian walked out of her office after work, she saw him waiting at the door and breathed a sigh of relief. 'It seems things are settled.'
"How do you have time to pick me up? Are you done with everything?" Zhou Lian asked, getting into the car and looking at Li Xiu beside her.
