More than two hours passed.
Only then did Li Xiaoya emerge from the shop. His expression was perfectly calm, without a ripple of emotion, but the beautiful young married woman escorted him to the door with the utmost respect...
"That's enough! No need to see me off! Just deliver those things to me when the time comes!" Li Xiaoya turned and told the beautiful woman through voice transmission.
