About ten minutes later, Qiu Yuan finally emerged from the bathroom. By now, it was already deep into the night. Seeing that Chen Quanshu was still there seemed to surprise her, "Mayor Chen, you're still here?"
Chen Quanshu said, "I just saw you looked like you were crying quite sadly, and I couldn't rest easy. It's the middle of the night, and it could be very dangerous for a beautiful, single girl like you."
He deliberately emphasized the crying quite sadly, a single girl…
He was intentionally picking at her heart's sore spots.
Wasn't Qiu Yuan aware of it? Her heart was already blossoming with joy.
Qiu Yuan slumped in her seat, appearing heartbroken, yet she didn't want to say a single word.
Chen Quanshu's expression was dark as he offered her a drink, his words laden with concern, "Have a little to soothe your mood."
Qiu Yuan, distracted, took the drink without suspicion and started drinking.
