Upon hearing Mi Xiaoying's words, Liu Ergou immediately looked at her. Seeing his gaze, she stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, "It's about that Traditional Chinese Medicine Association thing from before."
"I already..."
Before Mi Xiaoying could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off. "Just forget about it. It's not a big deal."
"It didn't cause me any real trouble," he added. With that, he stood up and headed for the door. "I've got something to take care of. As you both heard, I need to step out for a bit. I'll be back later."
"I'm off!"
By the time he finished speaking, Liu Ergou was already out the door. He headed to the hotel parking garage, got into his new car, and drove off.
Back in the hotel room, Mi Xiaoying stared at the closed door and couldn't help but turn to He Mingxue.
"Mingxue, is Er Gou angry?" she asked.
He Mingxue, who had just woken up, had no idea what had just happened. She heard Mi Xiaoying's question, and a look of utter confusion crossed her face.
