Ren and Fang were silent on their way back to the villa. The Dragon Queen had chatted with them for a short while after her amorous offer had been rejected by Ren, and then she'd let them go, assuring Ren that the trade department officials would be in touch with him soon to take the hospital project forward. A car was waiting for them to take them back, and the two of them left quickly.
Ren and Fang were both lost in their own thoughts throughout the drive. When they reached the villa, Ren thanked the driver and confirmed that the two of them would be leaving tomorrow, and fixed the time for the airport drop off. Ren always tipped the servers generously, and this driver was no exception. He wished them a good night and promised to come a bit earlier than the required time tomorrow.
The young couple entered the villa. A staff member greeted them and enquired about dinner. Ren looked at Fang, letting him make the decision.
