President Xuanyuan Wuji was a man of swift action. Once he had set his mind on pursuing the girl, he was intent on putting his plan into action immediately. He arranged the urgent matters at hand and then commanded his chief secretary and Prime Minister, Xiao Yu, to accompany him in selecting gifts for the Empress. That morning, when he had left the Shangguan Residence, he had already told Shangguan's boy that he would return for dinner. Honestly, dining was secondary; President Wuji wanted to see Shangguan Linlang every moment of the day. He now truly understood what it meant to pine for someone so dearly that a single day apart felt like an eternity, and he longed for her with an unquenchable desire.
