Sheng Li found Ying Lili had drifted off to sleep because of the wine. He did not want this and regretted bringing about his departure. He made her lay on the mattress and covered her from the blanket. Caressing her forehead, he stood up and walked out of the chamber. He went straight to Hu Jingguo's quarters as he needed to discuss things with him.
Hu Jingguo was moving his hand over his stomach as he had just had dinner when he saw Sheng Li at the entrance. A smile carved on his lips and put his hand down. Sheng Li closed the door and came near Hu Jingguo.
"Why did you not call me? This place does not suit you," Hu Jingguo remarked. Sheng Li sat on the chair there and gestured to him to sit.
Hu Jingguo pulled out a chair for him and rested on it. "It is a relief that you reached the Capital safely," Sheng Li stated. Hu Jingguo nodded and told him that he would prepare the medicine in a while.
