Seeing his wife yield, Ma Zhenhai's anger dissipated slightly, and he stood up to walk toward the dining room.
After dinner, Lin Yu said she was tired and went back to her room to rest early.
Although Ma Zhenhai found it a bit odd, he didn't ask any further questions. He sat in the living room for a while and, seeing that the time was about right, got up with the gifts and left the house.
Hearing the door close downstairs, Lin Yu hurriedly descended the stairs and stealthily followed him.
Ma Zhenhai and Xu Feng both lived in the same compound, and their homes were not far apart. After just a five to six-minute walk, Ma Zhenhai arrived at Xu Feng's home.
He placed the gifts on the ground and raised his hand to knock gently on the door.
Soon after, Xu Feng's housekeeper came to open the door.
"Hello, I'm Ma Zhenhai. May I ask if Governor Xu is home?" Ma Zhenhai asked with a smile.
