Fu Zhengci gave a bleak smile. "I understand."
Xiao Yu had no idea what he'd understood, but she didn't want to keep arguing with him. She smiled and said, "How have you been these past few years? I heard you became the youngest director in the Ministry of Defence. Her Majesty the Queen must trust you a lot."
Fu Zhengci nodded. "Mm."
"Oh right, how did you manage to find this place?" Afraid the atmosphere would turn awkward, Xiao Yu kept forcing herself to make small talk.
Fu Zhengci's gaze darkened as it fixed on her. "If someone really wants to find you, how could they possibly fail?"
Xiao Yu was left speechless.
Fu Zhengci laced his fingers together, his gaze sweeping over the tiny room before returning to her face. He said, "What happened to the injury on your face?"
"Ran into a mad dog. It's fine, I already scared him off." Xiao Yu smiled, not wanting him to worry.
