Ye Tianxin gave s.h.i.+ Han a call as soon as she read the information.
“Uncle s.h.i.+ Han.”
!!
s.h.i.+ Han picked up the phone and started praising Ye Tianxin. “Tianxin, I read about your performance at the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today. You’re amazing.”
Ye Tianxin’s voice grew softer as she said, “That’s because I want to be a woman worthy of Qingcang’s love. Uncle s.h.i.+ Han, when I first met Qingcang, I was just a lowly country b.u.mpkin with nothing to my name. From then on, I made up my mind to work hard and strive to become an excellent person since I don’t have a powerful background. I want to be able to stand beside him proudly.”
s.h.i.+ Han could understand how Ye Tianxin felt. He was grateful for her concern toward him.
He knew he was not alone. He knew there was someone out there who cared about him. That fact alone filled him with indescribable joy.
“Tianxin, don’t worry. I will be fine. I heard that Li Qingcang has gone to the rescue site. You have to take care of yourself since he’s not by your side.”
“I know, Uncle s.h.i.+ Han.”
Ye Tianxin put down the phone, happy that she got what she wanted from the call.
She continued reading the information Fang Nan had prepared for her.
X thought that by exposing Ye Zhizhou’s true ident.i.ty, both Zeus and the Empire would give in.
He could not be more wrong.
The authorities of the Empire would never release Ye Zhizhou as long as X was still in hiding. It was even more unlikely for Zeus to give in.
While it was true that Zeus was to succeed to the throne, it did not matter to him. Mo’er was the heir to the throne.
s.h.i.+ Han and Zeus did not care if Mo’er was not their flesh and blood. He had raised the child himself. How different was the child if he was raised by someone else?
Of course, it could not be more different.
“Tianxin, Director Chen is looking for you.”
Ye Tianxin packed the doc.u.ments and went into Chen Cheng’s office.
“Director Chen, are you looking for me?”
Chen Cheng nodded. “It’s already very late. You should go home and rest.”
“That won’t be necessary, Director Chen. I’m feeling fine. Besides, I’m still healthy.”
Ye Tianxin flatly refused to go home and rest even though Chen Cheng had asked her to. She did not want to be seen as having special treatment at work. She just wanted to work alongside her colleagues.
The lights in the office of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were never turned off. Furthermore, the colleagues from the Asian Division and other departments had also stayed behind to a.s.sist them in their work.
Director Chen had ordered burgers and soda from a fast-food restaurant for the employees at the Information Department.
Ye Tianxin had been studying her doc.u.ments the whole day till she was blurry-eyed. She started seeing double words on the doc.u.ment. Ye Tianxin could only close her eyes to get some rest.
–
The night pa.s.sed. The morning sun shone into the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ye Tianxin looked up from her desk in a daze.
She had fallen asleep at her desk that night. It felt strange.
A thin blanket fell to the floor when she moved.
Fang Nan walked over and brought a cup of warm water for Ye Tianxin. “Tianxin, are you awake?”
Ye Tianxin felt apologetic. “Sorry, I fell asleep.”
“Everyone had been feeling sleepy. I have just woken up not too long ago myself.” Fang Nan’s eyes looked bloodshot.
Compared to Ye Tianxin’s radiant appearance, Fang Nan looked a little haggard.
Ye Tianxin looked at the watch on her wrist. “I have to go pack and organize myself.”
Ye Tianxin was the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She had a pristine image to maintain at work.
