"Tired or not? Feet hurting? Want to go rest a bit?" Huangfu Zheng asked Tang Anzhi in a low voice. She was wearing sky-high heels today and had been standing for so long; her feet must be suffering.
Dealing with others here was less important than his wife's well-being.
"I'm fine!" Tang Anzhi shook her head. She was not a delicate person, how could she leave on an occasion like this?
When Huangfu Zheng heard her say she was fine, he nodded, "Then just hang in there a bit longer, once we've toasted with one last table of old-timers, we can leave." They were all bigwigs from the AF Department and higher-ups.
They had all come on their own today; thus, the drinks had to be honored.
"Huangfu Zheng, what are you whispering to your wife about? Aren't you coming over here to drink? We're all waiting here for you. It seems like after drinking with those two tables of old-timers, you're not going to come to ours?" Song Zhonghai called out to Huangfu Zheng.
