As the morning tea session was over, the King and his two wives were the first to leave the hall. Then, Xiaoming walked up to Lóng Wei and hugged him, shocking the rest of the people present in the hall.
Lóng Wei asked him what he was doing. "I never knew that our ill-treatment would affect Brother Lóng Wei. Forgive me for being cold towards you sometimes," he asserted, keeping a tiny smile on his lips.
Lóng Wei pushed Xiaoming away and asked him not to do that. "We aren't close enough to hug each other," he stated.
"We can negotiate those differences soon," Xiaoming confidently said.
"It was unbelievable to me as well that he was hurt by our behavior," Mingquan said, looking at Li Hua, who looked upset with him.
Qiu Mu asked Lóng Wei if he would like to converse with him in private.
"In private? Why?" Tianjie asked curiously.
"That is related to the investigation," Qiu Mu said. Lóng Wei squinted his eyes in suspicion and nodded.
