"I need to take a leave," Huo Shiqian bluntly told the leader sitting in front of him, who was sipping tea.
"Leave? What's the reason?" The old chief asked softly, sipping his tea one sip at a time.
"Capital City, to visit family." Huo Shiqian replied, sparing with his words.
Old Chief: "..."

Old Chief: ...You really should talk less.
"Ahem!" The old chief coughed, saying, "Going back to Capital City to visit family? Well, isn't that nice, nice!"
"You going back would definitely make Old Huo very happy!"
Huo Shiqian glanced at him, his voice cool and composed, "My trip this time is not to visit the Huo Family."
"Pfft..." The old chief, who had been smiling with tea in his mouth, spat it all out, "Cough cough, what are you saying?"
