"That's why I asked Ling Zhenfei to accompany me. Seeing him makes me feel much more at ease."
Mao Xuejing looked at Ling Zhenfei, and he winked at her, assuring her that everything was under his control.
As they chatted, the leader said, "Even though we are quite familiar with each other, this is still an official state visit, so we have to follow protocol. We can discuss cooperation details slowly, but let's finish the formalities first."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's what I thought too, so I won't show up during the formalities. We'll be together for the detailed discussions."
The car drove into a very large courtyard—a place Ling Zhenfei had only heard of before and never imagined he would enter.
Once inside, Ling Zhenfei surprisingly felt at ease. There really were too many procedures to follow, so he decided not to stick around.
Bai Ling finally found Ling Zhenfei and, somewhat incredulously, said, "That woman is really a princess?"
