Finding another alternative.

Chunlan arrived to the house to meet Jihai in casual clothes talking to Natshiko. Her arrival alerted the two men and Jihai stood up to hold her hand when he saw her approach them, taking away her cane as he said. "You weren't at home when I arrived. Where did you go?"

She gave him a look of exasperation before she replied. "I had some problems with the company so I had to go there."

He frowned. "What happened? Is your company doing now? Do you need help?"

Chunlan felt proud that he could now ask her those questions with confidence without feeling inadequate. Ever since he returned, he now felt the need to wrap her in cotton which was only pleasant for a while. But still she indulged him, just to boost his ego. "My father solved the problem already. You see, Wen Honglin came to make trouble but it has been taken care of. I thought you were still in the presidential palace that's why I didn't call you."
