He glanced at his watch, then raised his gaze to smile at Ye Jian. âNot even five minutes left, the diner cart should be inside the elevator right now. It would be best if you take a nap after finishing your meal, only then would you feel invigorated after waking up at noon. Also, the head leader will be having lunch with Pakistanâs Minister of Defense at noon, after youâve finished your lunch in the hotel, security personnel will come to retrieve you.â
Noticing Ye Jian was listening attentively and obediently, his slender finger pointed at the paper bag carrying the school uniform. âThere is a Walkman inside. Also, a cassette tape, listen to the first song, itâs a famous nursery rhyme in Pakistan, simple and easy to learn, you might need it this afternoon.â
He even managed to arrange this so detailedly. Ye Jian couldnât help but to take another glance at Qin Xiu,⦠is his sense of direction really that bad? It really doesnât seem so.
Qin Xiu left very soon, his back was tall and slender. He walked out of Ye Jianâs field of vision with unhurried steps. Meanwhile, the service cart had just arrived, it seemed like he had purposely left to not delay her breakfast time. The minute the service cart arrived, he had already left the area.
After breakfast, Ye Jian had really slept until noon. The moment she opened her eyes, the energy her body had exhausted over the past couple of days had all returned. Her body was now fully energized.
The security personnel in charge of delivering Ye Jianâs lunch sent it over at precisely 12.10p.m. After her lunch, she waited in her room for the security personnel to arrive, at 1.30p.m., she heard the sound of the door being knocked, each knock was filled with a rhythmic feeling.
Just by listening to the knocking sounds, Ye Jian could guess who the security personnel coming to get her was. Besides that dangerous man, who else?
âTwo minutes, Ye Jian.â Outside the door, Xia Jinyuan reminded me with a well-behaved yet cold tone. A slight smile hung on his handsome face while he silently waited for the little fox that was avoiding him, like how one would expect a serpent, to come out.
Initially, he too wanted her to catch her breath. After all, what had happened made him awkward as well, but he didnât expect the head leader to send a direct order for him to retrieve her, so there was no way he could refuse out of personal reasons.
Besides, it wasnât even a big deal. In any case, he was a grown man. How could he dwell on trivial matters all day long?
Thereâs no taboo in medicine. For something that would affect someoneâs entire life, it should be told in full detail. The only thing he didnât expect was for the doctor to urge in a louder voice, even if both of them wanted to pretend they didnât hear it, it was impossible.
This time, he really had to act serious and strict. There was no way he could allow her to keep feeling awkward down the line. Thatâs why he purposely lowered his voice and expressed some coldness, making her understand that he was here for business.
Ye Jian knew it was him. Though her breathing hastened for a moment, by the time she opened the door, there was only a bland expression between her elegant brows, even the corner of her eyes wore a calm conviction, âThereâs no need for two minutes, we can go now.â
Very good. Not noticing anything out of the normal, he made a slight glance at her. When he turned around, Xia Jinyuan smirked lightly, âMiss Pettyâs school is in the wealthy suburbs, the public security over there is much safer compared to the slums. The decision was sudden, we did not inform the school to prepare anything, all to prevent people who intend to use this to perform something not favorable to the visit.â
âThe head leader will not be going to school. You will be accompanied by one diplomatic personnel, I will be in charge of maintaining your security, during the two hours of cultural exchange, I am responsible for your safety.
The car was parked underground, the driver was one of the motorized infantry that was sent out from Zhongnanhai.
Xia Jinyuan opened the door to allow Ye Jian in before him, then, stooping over, he got into the backseat of the car with elegant movements.
Ye Jian, who thought he would be sitting in front, noticed this, and her body stiffened. Her breathing stopped for a moment following the motions of him closing the door, her long eyelashes trembled in place, and her eyelids slowly dropped down.
