Soaking in the bath, Xu Changqing ate cold noodles and drank a bowl of chicken soup that floated on a wooden tray beside her. When she was done, she contentedly rubbed her belly and leaned back.
Her head resting on a pillow at the edge of the tub, full and satisfied, she closed her eyes and started to mull over her upcoming trip to Pigeon City tonight—or rather, in the early hours of the morning.
She had already decided not to bring Brother Shen to the black market. Although she'd heard that the authorities had recently loosened their grip on Pigeon City, she had no intention of just making a small, casual trip.
That being the case, she had to consider how to create a 'perfectly justifiable' reason for He Liping to take Brother Shen with him when he took the things back tonight.
