"He had asked for leave yesterday, so I didn't mention it because you were too busy, but he probably won't be able to make it today," Bai Lan replied honestly.
Yun Xinyan murmured a response, the brilliance on her face visibly diminished, marked by a sense of unexplained loss. Although she was about to rush to the provincial city to pull some strings, the absence of Ye Tian by her side made her feel as if something was missing, and it was an unpleasant feeling.
"Are the gifts for Elder Fei prepared?" Yun Xinyan shifted her focus back to work.
"They were prepared last night and have already been placed in the car," Bai Lan responded.
Having worked with Yun Xinyan for not just a day or two, Bai Lan knew her old classmate's temperament well: decisive and efficient, never procrastinating. The things she needed had to be ready overnight; last-minute preparations were absolutely unacceptable.
"Good, tell the fleet to get ready, we're heading to the provincial city now."
