Ruri's heart almost suffered a shock when Secretary Qin, without any notice, just gave her away like that to ZiXuan!!
She was a bit startled alright, but then it rooted a small seed of anticipation as her heart rate increased waiting for his reply.
They hadn't met for almost 6 months now and a small part of her had wanted for him to miss her, you know, sometimes a distance between a couple makes them yearn for each other more, it was like that for her and she hoped the same from him, well, it was a wish...but she was going to disheartened.
She didn't know what he said but from the dumbfounded expression from the always stoic Secretary, she felt stuffy.
Her heart felt as if someone was slowly but steadily squeezing it, making it hard for her to maintain her smile when she heard Secretary Qian say--
"Ahem.. Miss Xun....It seems he is really a bit too busy so, he...um...asked me to follow protocol."
