Watching Su Mei approach, Ling Chen stood up and went forward to help pull out the chair in a gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you!" Su Mei responded with a smile, saying apologetically, "I got caught in a bit of traffic on the way, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Ling Chen smiled faintly, "This is Beijing, traffic jams are quite normal, there's no need to apologize to me." Saying this, Ling Chen curiously asked, "When did you arrive in Beijing?"
"I arrived last night, some things needed handling."
Ling Chen nodded, without asking further. He knew that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had a headquarters in Beijing, and during the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony, he had been there as an invited guest.
