She had arranged to meet Assistant He at the café in an hour. Struggling to muster her energy, she took a bath and applied ice to her eyes to reduce the swelling. Afterward, she washed her face, applied skincare products, and put on light makeup to make her complexion look rosier and less pallid.
When she arrived at the café, Assistant He was already there, sitting with impeccable posture, his back ramrod straight, exuding the complete aura of a military man.
This mission seemed to have matured him a lot; he was no longer frivolous and smiling. His expression was often serious, even somber.
If it were not for past affections, he might not have agreed to meet her today.
She had to admit that many things had indeed changed...
Yet, she couldn't let go and still wanted to find the source of those changes.
As Ning Xia sat down, she greeted him, "Assistant He, thank you for agreeing to meet with me."
