"We're all friends here, no need for formalities."
Feng Yun's smile was sparse as she glanced at Kong Yun'e, noticing a slight blush on her cheeks, which told her all she needed to know.
In her absence, Jin Ge must have been taking good care of his childhood friend.
Jin Ge bowed respectfully.
"May I know why the Princess had summoned me here?"
Earlier that day, Feng Yun had sent Ge Guang to deliver congratulatory noodles to Ren Rude, without really saying anything special; however, by keeping Kong Yun'e behind after nightfall, Jin Ge understood.
Feng Yun preferred dealing with intelligent people, her gaze softening considerably.
"Please, take a seat."
Jin Ge complied, sitting not too far nor too close across from them, his hands resting on his knees, his back straight—clearly a trained individual.
Feng Yun smiled briefly.
"Is Mr. Ren's hometown Jinyang?"
Jin Ge replied, "Yes."
Feng Yun continued, "Then why didn't he go back home for the New Year's celebration?"
