"We're glad you joined us as well" Cixi replied to his greeting. She was acting more like the mother of the house now and it was funny to the rest of them.
After Sara successfully pleaded with the others to go inside their rooms so she could remain alone with Muchen, Muchen said to her..
"I'll be going on a trip tomorrow. Don't miss me too much or hang out with other men."
He said as he smoothen her messy hair.
"A trip? Why so soon?" She asked in surprise.
"There's something I need to take care of in country V. So—"
"Wait...country V?" Sara remembered it was the same country her aunt had been stuck in because of a terrorist attack. "It's not safe there. Why do you have to go? Terrorists are everywhere" She said in worry.
Muchen chuckled at her exaggeration. "They aren't everywhere. I just have to fix something in a safer part of country V."
