"Hey, Sinan! So you're here, huh? I've just finished at the office, let's go grab some food!" Xiang Fangsu ran over cheerfully, "Today Mr. Xu caught some fish, an extraordinary rare occasion, and he's specially paid Otter Kai to grill them."
Sinan mumbled to himself, "It seems like King Huai is about to make another breakthrough."
"Hmm?" Xiang Fangsu glanced around and didn't see Liang Qu. "How do you know? Did he tell you?"
"No, I just sensed it. The king's emotions are a bit more high-strung than usual." Sinan closed his ledger and turned to Xiang Fangsu. "Is Lord Xiang fond of me?"
"Huh?"
Sinan calmly counted, "You've invited me to two meals in the past three days, called me for dinner seven times in the past half-month, and supported the river governance for almost half a year... Several officials say that Lord Xiang's intentions are obvious to everyone."
"Okay, okay, stop." Xiang Fangsu felt utterly embarrassed and rubbed his back awkwardly.
