Especially Not When This Man Was Joining Them

Dongfang Ming might have asked her to drop the honorifics, since the title was quite alienating, but Liu Duo could not break the bit, so he let her be.

Dongfang Ming got up from his seat, still smiling, as Liu Duo walked towards him. "Someone told me of your arrival, so I thought I should see for myself. You didn't tell me you were coming, after all, and I thought we were friends."

Liu Duo could guess who that 'someone' was. The other person in the capital who knew them could only be Wang Xiangyun!

They had met yesterday, by coincidence.

"We didn't want to trouble you. After all, you're a businessman, and surely there are many matters to attend to every day." Liu Duo decided not to question him on how he had managed to find out where they were staying.

They would let him talk if he chose to, otherwise, they would not bug him. It was a secret everyone shared.
