"You might have to go back first,"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "I still have some unfinished business in the provincial city."
"What kind of business?" Bai Hui'er asked, tilting her head.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Business matters, just minor issues. I should be back in about two or three days."
"Since when did your business become so established?" Bai Hui'er became suspicious, feeling that Jiang Xiaobai was hiding something from her.
Jiang Xiaobai replied, "It's still in the negotiation stage. The terms proposed by the local partners are too harsh; I need to have a proper talk with them."
"Fine then. But hurry back to Lin Yuan, I won't be long before I go to the capital for a competition. I want to see you before I leave," Bai Hui'er said, her voice tinged with disappointment. Having just experienced physical intimacy with Jiang Xiaobai, her dependence on him had reached an unprecedented level, and she wished she could stick to him all day long.
