Since she is our guest, let's not embarrass her.

Li Xue looked up at Zhang Xiaotong. Her eyes getting squinted slightly to read the meaning behind the words she has just heard the woman say. Was she the one behind the thing that happened in the palace? 

"Were you the one to …?" She thought to ask and confirm directly but before she could make anything confident out of it, a voice interrupted from behind garnering her attention. 

"Madam!" 

Li Xue turned to look at Gao Fan who appeared all out of nowhere at the moment. Though his expressions looked stoic and natural, something still in his demeanor was out of normal. 

"Mr. Secretary, you are here like this. Anything serious?" She asked and Gao Fan just glance towards Zhang Xiaotong before turning his eyes back to Li Xue to say. 

"Madam, President Feng has been looking for you for quite some time now. So, he sent me over to check on you and your safety." He said and again turned to glance meaningfully at the other woman standing there.
