Qin Xiu couldn't help but hold his breath. He heard his heartbeat and her light footsteps. They sounded like drums and zither notes.
He thought that at this mont, his world was being occupied by her.
Looking at this figure walking toward him step by step, Qin Xiu's elegant and handso face revealed an even more heart-warming smile. He didn't stay where he was but went forward to welco her.
"Hello again, Ye Jian." The young woman who had made him fall in love with her looked at him politely. She was so gentle and didn't seem offended by his direct gaze.
When he got closer, Qin Xiu realized how much Ye Jian had changed.
Her military school life did not tan her skin. Instead, she was as fair as ever. She had the fair skin that most girls dread of. She should be especially eye-catching when she was in school.
Her eyes were also beautiful. When they were at the border, the light was dim, so he did not manage to take a closer look. Now, he saw that her eyes were like pink lotuses poking out of thousands of green leaves. They were delicate…
He did not deliberately size her up. He only looked at Ye Jian's eyes.
Ye Jian, who had always been sharp, vaguely felt Qin Xiu sizing her up. However, as he quickly looked away, she didn't think too much about it.
She politely held his outstretched hand and smiled. "I saw your information on the car just now, Ambassador Qin. Nice to be working with you."
"Let's have a good ti working together." Qin Xiu retracted his hand calmly and placed it by his side elegantly and naturally. He could still feel her soft and warm touch on his palm.
As a diplomat, concealing his emotions was a must-have. His expression was very natural, just like when ordinary friends t. He was polite but not impolite, making people feel at ease like a spring breeze.
V8, who was standing beside Qin Xiu, winked at Ye Jian. Once Qin Xiu was done introducing himself, V8 extended his hand with a cold expression. When the two shook hands, V8 simply greeted her and didn't say anything else.
V8 was a special forces soldier, and Ye Jian was a military school student whose identity needed to be kept a secret. Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to 'know' each other.
"Go and change first. We'll wait for you downstairs." Qin Xiu handed a paper bag to Ye Jian. "You're all escorts, so you need to change your clothes."
The female staff mber of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wore a fitting suit. When Ye Jian went upstairs to change, the staff mber who picked her up told Qin Xiu what Ye Jian had asked her with a smile and teased, "Ambassador Qin, you have to perform well. Don't let her misunderstand that you can't even take care of yourself."
Qin Xiu rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Could it be that the impression he gave Ye Jian was that he couldn't take care of himself? That wasn't good. He had to reverse the impression.
Therefore, after getting into the car, Qin Xiu smiled and said to Ye Jian, "I've been undergoing intensive training for the past two years, so I no longer get lost easily. For example, when I went to your school that year, I wasn't lost anymore after walking one round."
Ye Jian quickly realized why he said that. She imdiately felt uncomfortable. "Please forgive for saying sothing wrong."
"Qin Xiu, call Qin Xiu. You can call by my na." Qin Xiu didn't like distant titles like 'Ambassador'. He smiled and said, "We've known each other for a few years, right? Although we don't et often, we're already acquaintances. There's no need to be so distant."
