President Pei's brows knitted into a 'chuan' character as he asked, "What's wrong with going on a business trip with one's own chief secretary?"
"There's nothing more normal than that. I will explain to your sister myself another day, and Nianxin is not one to sweat the small stuff."
Lu Minghao's eyes shifted slightly, "I have another question."
President Pei evaluated him with an indifferent gaze, "No need to ask, I'll answer for you."
"Although Secretary Wen and I are on a business trip together, we each have our own rooms. I'm on the top floor; she's in 818. We don't disturb each other, and we don't interact. It's not as intimate as you imagine."
Lu Minghao stiffened somewhat, and to ease the awkwardness, he said, "With those words, I can rest assured."
"Or we three could find a place to get together, my treat."
President Pei declined, "I have important matters to attend to this afternoon, next time."
Lu Minghao didn't press the invitation any further.
