It was early in the morning, the fog was still thick, and the morning sun was s.h.i.+ning through the fog. Lan Yanxi and Cheng Yuan had already finished their morning forging and were sweating in the middle of winter.
"Yanxi, hurry back and take a bath. It"s easy for you to catch a cold this way!" Cheng Yuan warned her in a low voice.
"Alright!" Lan Yanxi didn"t dare to show off anymore and the two of them headed in the direction of the hotel.
Qiao Zhuo suddenly walked out from a corridor and b.u.mped into them. Qiao Zhuo immediately raised his hand and greeted them: "Yanxi, Cheng Yuan, good morning!"
Lan Yanxi wanted to raise her head to greet him, but was stopped by Cheng Yuan"s gentle hand.
Lan Yanxi chuckled dryly. Cheng Yuan stared at Qiao Zhuo with a warning look, "Keep that thought of yours away. Don"t think that I didn"t see it. You"ve been staring at us for a long time from that hallway."
Qiao Zhuo was shocked. He thought that he hid very well, but he didn"t expect that he would still be found by Cheng Yuan. He felt embarra.s.sed and ashamed.
Lan Yanxi frowned. Qiao Zhuo"s actions were indeed a bit excessive.
"Cheng Yuan, can you not be so aggressive? It"s not like I"m staring at you. That"s right, I do like Yanxi. I believe everyone can see that. Don"t tell me it"s illegal for me to look at someone I like?" Qiao Zhuo originally wanted to act gentle and refined, but Cheng Yuan"s words were like a thorn piercing into his most uncomfortable place. He immediately became angry and replied sarcastically.
If you really like Yanxi, you have to ask her whether she likes you. If she doesn"t like you, then you have to restrain your feelings and don"t be so carefree every day, making people feel that you"re harboring malicious intentions! Cheng Yuan"s face was cold and cruel. Each of her words was as sharp as a knife. Qiao Zhuo"s face immediately turned red.
Qiao Zhuo stared at Lan Yanxi with an injured expression.
"Yanxi, I know I"m not worthy of you, but I really like you. I"ll do my best to make you like me!" After Qiao Zhuo finished, he turned around and left.
When Lan Yanxi heard this, she immediately wanted to stop him. However, Qiao Zhuo was so angry that he walked far away.
"Yanxi, I"m sorry, what I just said was too much, but I really don"t want other men to get close to you. You will be the first lady of our country in the future, and if news of you and your colleagues get involved, not only will it hurt Mr. Vice President"s heart, it will also hurt your reputation. Right now, Qiao Zhuo doesn"t know which side he is on, so you should be on guard against him."
Lan Yanxi frowned as she thought about it carefully. She felt that Cheng Yuan"s way of doing things wasn"t wrong, and she didn"t like getting entangled with other men either.
Cheng Yuan, don"t apologize, I still have to thank you. I have a lot of face in death, but actually, I wanted to tell Qiao Zhuo about the words just now, I wanted to let him know the difficulties and retreat, but I just couldn"t bring myself to hurt others. However, breaking off all emotions is the greatest harm to others, and I believe that Qiao Zhuo should know my att.i.tude and hope that he won"t do such a thing again in the future. Lan Yanxi didn"t blame Cheng Yuan. On the contrary, she was very grateful for her help.
Cheng Yuan then smiled. She did not forget the words that the Lieutenant Chu had sternly said to her before they left not only to protect Lan Yanxi"s safety, but also to eliminate all the men that wanted to get close to her. This was because Mr. Vice President"s emotions would be affected.
Lan Yanxi used to play the fool. Many men hinted at her, but she ignored them all.
Fortunately, those men were very self-confident. In the process that she had ignored for a long time, she had given up on pursuing and confessing.
Now, this Qiao Zhuo was a persistent person Lan Yanxi had met. His words made her feel depressed. What did he mean by working hard to make her like him? Was love the kind of thing that came with hard work?
"Cheng Yuan, things like love are so complicated sometimes!" Lan Yanxi sighed softly.
"But sometimes it"s very simple, it depends on who you meet. People like you and the Vice President are very simple, so simple that only the two of you love each other." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.
"You"re right. Between the two of us, there is no outsider. It is indeed simple!" Lan Yanxi immediately laughed.
At noon, Lan Yanxi secretly went to the washroom to check the news. Where did Ling Mofeng"s plane arrive? Who did he meet? Who said those words? A part of the news would report them. Lan Yanxi held onto her cellphone and refused to put it down.
He"s here!
He really came!
Lan Yanxi was extremely excited, but she was also filled with antic.i.p.ation.
She didn"t know how Ling Mofeng would come to see her. She really hoped that he would take her alone to a place where no one else was. She wanted to be alone with him.
He wanted his hug, even if he didn"t do anything. He just wanted to stay in his arms and let go of his thoughts.
However, in the afternoon, Lan Yanxi heard a shocking and speechless news.
Ling Mofeng actually wanted to invite all of the staff members who attended this time to have di
er.
Are you sure?
Didn"t he treat her to it?
Lan Yanxi wanted to cry in the bathroom.
Cheng Yuan patted her shoulder and whispered into her ear, "Yanxi, do you think that the Lieutenant Chu will come over for di
er?"
"Definitely, he and Ling Mofeng are inseparable. Wait, you"ll see him tonight!" Lan Yanxi also suppressed her laughter as she replied. She suddenly felt that anyone in love would become naive and childish, but this kind of behavior was also very cute.
Around 6 PM, Lan Yanxi and Cheng Yuan went back to their room to take a bath and change into a new set of work clothes. Since they were going to meet Mr. Vice President, everyone was in high spirits and looked forward to seeing him.
Cheng Yuan was wearing a military uniform and a hat. She was tall and straight. If her beautiful almond-shaped eyes hadn"t told everyone that she was a girl, everyone would have thought that she was an elegant little military officer.
Lan Yanxi had tied her long hair into a ponytail and tied it neatly behind her head, revealing her small face. It was said that revealing one"s forehead was the best way to test a woman"s beauty, and Lan Yanxi was definitely the most beautiful kind of woman. Her forehead was round and full, and her hairline was very beautiful.
"I"m not used to dressing up in such formal attire!" Lan Yanxi looked at Cheng Yuan, and Cheng Yuan looked at her. Both of them were staring at each other with a depressed expression on their faces.
"Let"s go, we want to see Mr. Vice President, of course we have to pay attention to his image!" Cheng Yuan laughed. She truly felt it was fu
y. Seeing the helplessness on Lan Yanxi"s face, she felt that this couple was really too interesting.
The group of people were dressed neatly, but they looked very nervous. They rode a private car and arrived at the restaurant.
It was held in an important palace in this country. White Roman columns towered and there were sentry booths everywhere. It seemed like they were not here for a meal, but for a meeting. This atmosphere was difficult to describe in a single sentence.
Everyone else was very serious and serious, only Lan Yanxi was sometimes holding her head in a daze and occasionally looking out of the window to look at the scenery. Everyone was very serious and serious, only Lan Yanxi was sometimes holding her head in a daze and occasionally looking out of the window to look at the scenery.
Why was she thinking about three meals a day when other people were thinking about national affairs? This difference in power was simply too overwhelming.
When they arrived at the entrance of an exquisite private room, they were guided in by a staff member.
On a large round table that was big enough to accommodate twenty people, flowers were blooming. Some of the country"s specialties were all on display.
Everyone methodically found a spot to sit down. Lan Yanxi was the least active person here, so when she finally walked in, she found out that she had picked the best spot to sit beside Ling Mofeng.
Since there were four empty seats, it should be the seats that Ling Mofeng and the others were sitting on.
Lan Yanxi"s face was filled with surprise, but some of the people at the side were secretly glad that they were not the closest to Mr. Vice President, if not, they would not be able to get a pretty answer when asked about work.
