Mayor Ma puffed out his chest, responding loudly, "Understood. I will relay the orders immediately, assuring the completion of the task given by the leadership."
"Tell them, this issue must be tackled quickly and decisively! No delays!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Chifeng waved at him, "Off you go!"
"Yes, then I'll take my leave!" Mayor Ma gave a bow with a smile and left with brisk strides.
Watching Mayor Ma leave, Xiao Chifeng enfolded Shen Qingcong in his arms and said softly in her ear, "Congcong, with Liang Sisi gone, this matter is resolved. We return to Kyoto tomorrow, okay?"
Shen Qingcong looked up at him, "So soon? We haven't settled everything here, and Mr. Shen hasn't been buried yet. Isn't it inappropriate if we leave like this?"
Xiao Chifeng pinched her nose, "Even if you stay, you are pregnant, you can't attend the funeral."
Shen Qingcong knew there was such a custom back home.
Usually, those who are pregnant are discouraged from attending funerals.
