"It's all thanks to you this year that my print shop and bookstore have been doing so well." Feng Shuyu raised her teacup as she spoke, toasting with tea instead of wine. "Here's to you! And may we reach even greater heights next year!"
Ming Lingyi accepted the toast, raising her cup as well, but she felt she should be upfront with Feng Shuyu about a few things sooner rather than later.
"Our businesses will definitely be even more prosperous next year," Ming Lingyi said. "But... I might be leaving the Capital City next year."
The expression on Feng Shuyu's face froze, her features stiff with disbelief. "Leave the Capital City?"
'From the way she said it, this didn't sound like a simple vacation.'
Ming Lingyi nodded. "I'm not from the Capital City originally, as you know."
'At least, the identity I'm currently using isn't that of someone from Shangjing City.'
