Chapter 148: Already making enemies
Chi Lian did not get to enjoy the stunning scenery of the capital from the start of the journey to the moment when arrived at the first check point granting them entrance to their new residence. She spent the whole journey with her eyes closed because she was tired, irritable, cynic and overly stretched thin.
The soldiers at the entrance were asking a variety of questions and she was doing her very best not to snap at them. Her head was lowered and she was rubbing the sides of her forehead with her thumbs. One soldier in particular was persistent and he sent the others away.
"Ma’am, we need to see legal documents for every human and pet in your entourage before granting you entrance." the soldier told her disdainfully.
"For the last time, the documents I have given you are the ones I was told to present. If you have any doubts please contact your boss for further information." She responded snappily. Minister Su had given her the documents to hand over at the entrance and she had done it so why the double checks and frustrations?
"Ma’am" the soldier said persistently. "I need to see_"
"Oh sweet Lord." She sighed. She was officially ready to turn back and head to B city.
"Chi-Chi, what’s wrong?" Chi Wei asked the minute he approached her. "Are you crying?" he was worried. Seeing how her head was lowered and her hands were covering her face he assumed immediately that she was crying.
She shook her head and smiled slightly with a hint of an unhappy frown, "It’s nothing," she said. "I just have a slight headache because of sleep deprivation."
"Ma’am, this is private property, you and your entourage should move your cars immediately." That same soldier insisted.
