Long Che glanced at his son and asked, "What's the matter? It's just been decided—the week-long visit between Haotian and Beidi."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about this." Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly. "Dad, there's an unidentified force active along the Beidi border. Could it have something to do with your visit?"
"If it's related to me, then they're courting death!" Just moments before, Long Che appeared fierce, but he immediately softened when addressing his daughter-in-law. "Luowa, what did you eat for lunch? Did you have enough?"
Yi Luowa responded with a smile, "The nutritionist prepared my meals—I ate plenty, don't worry."
"Is there anything you feel like eating? I'll have someone buy it for you."
"Not at the moment, Dad. If I crave something later, I'll be sure to let you know." Yi Luowa propped herself up with both hands, trying to sit up.
Long Che quickly shot his son a knowing look.
