Jiang An turned to look at him. “There will be more? I’m only here for Sophie. I don’t intend to do such things again.”

“That’s not up to you.” Zou Bai changed into his pajamas. “The country tacitly allows you to deepen the diplomatic relationship between the two countries. After that, this kind of thing will only be handed over to you.”

Jiang An couldn’t lie down anymore. “I’m not a civil servant either. I can’t do anything on behalf of the country. There’s no benefit in asking me to go.”

Zou Bai sat on the bed and analyzed for her. “It’s precisely because you’re not a civil servant that they want you to go. There are many things that don’t need to be discussed in public. You just need to give each other an indication of attitude. With your status, it is just right to send a signal.”

Jiang An was not a civil servant, but she was not an ordinary person either. Moreover, this precedent had been set. When the matter in Country F was over, all the countries would look at Jiang An differently.

Jiang An frowned after hearing that. “I don’t want to do this. What if I can’t do it well?”

Zou Bai pinched her face. “Don’t worry. I know you’ll do very well. Moreover, the country will compensate you for taking on this responsibility. From now on, the Jiang family’s status will be even higher. They might even become one of the five great families in China in the future.”

After hearing this, Jiang An fell into deep thought. She only wanted to live a quiet life, but as the head of the Jiang family, she had the responsibility of the family. If she could make the family prosper by doing this, she had no reason to refuse.

“Alright, then. I’ll do my best.” Jiang An’s gaze was firm.

When Zou Bai saw her bright eyes looking at him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was as if he had suddenly slowed down. This feeling made him want to hug Jiang An.

He thought so and did so. He lay down and hugged Jiang An’s waist. The two of them were pressed against each other without any gaps.

“An’an, you will have amazing achievements in the future,” Zou Bai said. “You will be the most amazing head of the Jiang family.”

Jiang An looked up at him. “Then you’ll accompany me, right?”

“Till death do we part,” Zou Bai kissed her cheek and said.

This pair of lovers fell asleep in each other’s arms. Even in a foreign land, there was nothing to be afraid of. With each other around, it was safe.

Therefore, when she appeared in the palace the next day, Jiang An was in an impeccable mental state. Her relaxed appearance made her seem to be in her own backyard.

This attitude shocked everyone present. They did not dare to underestimate Jiang An at all. They commented that China was indeed a big country. Even the family head of an aristocratic family had such a bearing.

As it was not yet the National Day, the king did not need to be forced to attend because he was only entertaining guests in the palace in advance. Jiang An felt a little regretful. She really wanted to see how similar that substitute was.

Annie quickly walked over affectionately. “An’an, let me introduce these people to you.”

Jiang An took half a step back and said, “No need. Sophie can accompany me.”

This was a blatant rejection. Henry laughed when he heard it. “Annie, it’s better if you don’t disturb Miss Jiang. The children naturally have their own topics to talk about. Old people like us shouldn’t get involved.”

He sounded quite open-minded. Annie almost rolled her eyes when she heard that. ‘You obviously want to rope her in too. Why are you pretending not to care?’

Henry couldn’t hear Annie’s thoughts, but he knew that she must be feeling terrible. His mood became even better.

John knew how to agitate his sister. He greeted, “Everyone, just do as you please. We’ll get to know each other as soon as we talk. There’s no need to drag yourselves over to introduce yourself. Let’s hurry up and play music and dance.”

Annie almost snapped the fan in her hand. These two just didn’t want her to have it easy.

The guests also relaxed as the music sounded. They all entered the dance floor and began to dance.

Sophie was not in the mood to do this, so she asked the maid to stand beside her and reject others.

Those who could attend the banquet were all of high status, so they naturally had discerning eyes. They could tell that Sophie did not want to dance, so they did not disturb her.

They placed more attention on Jiang An. Beautiful and elegant Eastern beauties always made people curious. Moreover, Jiang An’s identity was very noble to them.

A few people were eager to come over and invite Jiang An to dance, but Zou Bai was standing beside her, staring coldly at these people.

However, there were still people who were not afraid of death. After thinking about it, they still walked over and bent down gentlemanly. “Beautiful lady, can I invite you to dance?”

Zou Bai stood in front of her. “She doesn’t want to go.”

The man who was suddenly blocked was a little unhappy. “I’m inviting this lady. Hurry up and move aside.”

Jiang An said, “I really don’t want to..”
