章 35: Liu Ling Is Conflicted

Liu Ling smiles at Emmi, "Eat while the food is hot then we can discuss business." Maybe that will give me time to think of a way to explain how business works without discouraging her innocent dreams.

"Okay." She has a spoonful of soup and her eyes bend into a crescent shape. "Delicious!" No wonder this little restaurant is so popular even though it is down an inconspicuous side street. Brother Ling is acting strangely. Could it be that he thinks I am talking nonsense?

They eat their food without talking, each one absorbed in their own thoughts. Liu Ling glances across at Emmi, this atmosphere is not conducive to a serious talk. Looking at Chen Emmi across the table only lit up by a candle is disconcerting.
