"I need to go on a business trip in a couple of days."
Huo Tingxiao paused mid-action and looked up at her.
"Where to?"
"Hangcheng. I need to check some details of the OEM factory, and there are some parts I'm still not comfortable delegating to my subordinates, so..."
Hangcheng was close to Sea City, and Huo Tingxiao felt somewhat relieved.
"It's good as long as Yun Xi is with you."
Mu Lan knew he would be worried, especially since the incident in Paris, Huo Tingxiao had wished he could keep her by his side every minute of the day.
"Mhm."
"How many days?"
"About three or four days."
"That long?"
Huo Tingxiao blurted out, but as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lan's meaningful glance made him feel somewhat guilty. He used to go on business trips without checking in, sometimes even for half a month.
Now Mu Lan was only leaving for three or four days and had taken the initiative to tell him, yet his reaction was so strong, it was indeed... not quite fair.
