Confrontation, Part II

“Well… Meiying. My dear Meiying. I had no idea you were in town as well. You should have told me. I would have gladly been your escort.”

Those were the first words out of Ming Shen’s mouth when he laid eyes on Wu Meiying. He didn’t even so much as look at Hou Jingshu, which seemed to really upset the girl in question.
