"It's alright. You haven't seen each other for a few days, so it's normal to stay a little longer." Fu Jue had already thought of this, which is why he stayed in the car to sleep for a while. He had stayed up all night after returning from the banquet last night to finish all his work for the day.
Otherwise, Assistant Yin would start complaining again, blaming him for becoming lazy lately, turning from a workaholic into a lazybones, neglecting his career because he's so busy chasing girls.
