Qin Shu's appearance was flamboyant, but her office was surprisingly understated. Its black-and-white color scheme felt mature and stable.
She sat before a wide desk in a long black dress, propping her chin on one hand as she apathetically reviewed documents.
Hearing the door open, Qin Shu looked up.
When she saw the girl clearly, a smile graced her red lips, and she rose to walk toward Jiang Qingli.
"Qingli, long time no see." Qin Shu walked right over and hugged the girl, her tone lilting. "Have you missed me?"
Perhaps because of her superior royal genes, Qin Shu was taller than the average female.
As they embraced, Jiang Qingli felt her collarbone press against something soft. Heat crept up the back of her ears as she said softly, "I have."
Qin Shu, very satisfied with her answer, smiled and pinched her cheek before pulling her down onto the sofa.
