The two were playing and laughing, when suddenly Zhu Xiaoqi came in and said Hu Huanhuan had arrived and wanted to see Duan Rong.
Duan Rong's smile faded. He had been busy all along and had not yet seen Hu Huanhuan.
Xiao Yu had visited her twice. He heard from Xiao Yu that her recovery was almost complete, and she was in much better health.
Duan Rong stood up, touched Xiao Yu's face casually, and then walked out with large strides.
Zhu Xiaoqi led Duan Rong into a room.
Upon stepping in, Duan Rong saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat with sheer veil, sitting there.
Zhu Xiaoqi served tea and then closed the door, retreating.
Hu Huanhuan stood up and bowed towards Duan Rong at the door, saying, "Huanhuan pays respects to the Imperial Envoy!"
Duan Rong said, "Master Hu, we are old acquaintances. No need for formalities!"
While saying this, Duan Rong took a seat and gestured for Hu Huanhuan to sit down as well.
