By the time Qian Renxue and Luo Li had dealt with everything on the desk, the sky had already darkened.
Luo Li stretched lightly and looked out the window.
The blazing sun that had hung high in the sky had already sunk below the horizon, and the lights throughout the residence had been lit.
The sheer complexity of the affairs was plain to see.
Even with Qian Renxue's help, it had still taken them this long to finish handling everything for the day.
This only strengthened Luo Li's resolve to assemble a team to help him manage the affairs of the Northern Border.
"It's getting late. You've worked hard. Want to grab a meal together?"
Luo Li took the initiative to ask.
After all, Qian Renxue had helped him with his work. He had to show some appreciation, or he would be too much of a scumbag.
Naturally, Qian Renxue had no reason to refuse.
She nodded and readily agreed. "Sure."
"I heard there's a Temple Fair tonight. Can Luo Li come take a look with me?"
Luo Li's expression changed slightly.
He had not planned on doing that.
But considering that Qian Renxue had spent the entire afternoon helping him handle affairs, Luo Li felt too embarrassed to refuse in the end. He nodded slightly and accepted her invitation.
"Alright."
He glanced at Qian Renxue, who was still dressed as a woman, and reminded her, "Don't tell me you're planning to go with me looking like this?"
After all, quite a few people in the residence had seen that the person who came was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
"It's fine. Just find an excuse to say that the Crown Prince is tired and has been assigned a room to rest in, with no outsiders allowed near him."
