Thinking this, Qiu Tu made up his mind.
He was making sacrifices for the development of his own faction, not for any romantic bullshit!
At that thought, Qiu Tu didn't make a move on Ai Li right away.
Everything needs to proceed step by step. If you rush it, you're bound to screw up.
"Here, put this on."
He glanced around the furnishings in the lounge, picked up a robe from the side of the bed, and tossed it to Ai Li.
Ai Li reached out and caught it, her face a little flushed, but she put on an indifferent act and said, "Thanks."
Qiu Tu dragged a chair over, sat behind her, then smiled and said, "No need to thank me."
"Come on, let's talk."
He said, "I've been away these past couple days catching fugitives, so I'm a bit out of touch with the current situation in Dongye State."
"Any big changes in the state lately?"
At that, Qiu Tu paused, then pointedly said, "For example... Chairman seems awfully interested in my recent operation?"
