"Manager Mi and the staff have gone to the warehouse outside the city to pick up goods, so I stayed behind to look after the shop."
"The clinic is mostly set up now. We were just waiting for you to inspect it and see if you wanted any changes."
But when Mo Lingling saw the man following behind Ji Qingwu, her cheerful smile froze on her face.
She stammered, "Miss... Miss Ji, the new medicinal herbs haven't been sorted yet. I... I'll go sort them now."
Ji Qingwu watched Mo Lingling flee like a mouse that had seen a cat, then turned to find Duan Mingfeng's expression growing even more grim.
She concluded matter-of-factly, "Miss Mo is terrified of Mr. Duan."
Duan Mingfeng grunted in a low voice.
Mo Lingling had been afraid of him since childhood, to the point where it now seemed second nature.
Ji Qingwu said gently, "You should ask Miss Mo why she's so afraid of you. The two of you could clear the air."
