After taking sick leave for Li Ke, she sat in the taxi on the way home and slowly recovered from the excitement and loss of composure of their first meeting.
Then, her attitude took a drastic turn.
For some reason, she became angry, sitting by the car window, pouting and staring grumpily outside.
Li Xu teased her a few times, but seeing that it didn't work, he whispered in her ear that he brought her the gift she yearned for most, yet it still didn't move her.
He couldn't help feeling a headache.
No matter what, taking her to Xiangzhou was absolutely out of the question. Even if he took her there, they would hardly have time together, and Li Xu truly didn't have the time or energy for that.
Moreover, the situation in Xiangzhou was very complicated, and how it would develop in the future was still uncertain. He could not leave such an obvious vulnerability and weakness at the center of the storm.
