He looked at his watch and then smiled at Ye Jian, “It’s not five minutes anymore. They should be in the elevator now. Go to sleep after you have had your breakfast. Then you will feel energetic in the afternoon. Also, the Head will be having lunch with the Pakistan Defense Minister in the afternoon. A guard will pick you up after your lunch at the hotel.”
Seeing that Ye Jian was listening attentively, he pointed at the paper bag with his slender finger. “There’s a Walkman and a cassette inside. Listen to the first song. It’s a famous nursery rhyme in Pakistan. It’s easy to learn and maybe you’ll use it this afternoon.”
Even this was carefully arranged. Ye Jian couldn’t help but glance at Qin Xiu… Is his sense of direction really that bad? She couldn’t tell at all.
Qin Xiu quickly left, walking out of Ye Jian’s line of sight and the dining cart came along. It was like he didn’t want to delay her breakfast. As soon as the dining cart arrived, he had left.
After breakfast, Ye Jian slept all the way till noon. After opening her eyes, the energy that she had expended the past few days came back and she was energetic once again.
The guard responsible for delivering lunch to Ye Jian arrived on time ten minutes past noon. After her lunch, Ye Jian waited for the guard to come over. The sound of knocking on the door came at 1.30 pm.
Just by the sound of it, Ye Jian could guess who was the one picking her up. Who else but the dangerous man?
“Two minutes, Ye Jian.” Outside, Xia Jinyuan reminded her coldly. He was smiling faintly, waiting for her little fox who was constantly avoiding him.
Originally, he had wanted to let her calm down. After all, if he had faced the same situation, he would also be feeling awkward. But he didn’t expect that the Head would instruct him to pick her up. He couldn’t possibly reject him because of personal matters.
Moreover, it wasn’t such a big deal. He can’t possibly keep thinking about that.
Doctors don’t shy away from things like these. It was necessary to say everything that concerned his future. It was just that the doctor was speaking loudly. Even if the two of them pretended not to hear it, it wouldn’t work.
Now, he had to be serious. He can’t possibly let her continuing being awkward and embarrassed. He tightened his voice slightly, revealing a trace of coldness to let her know that he came for work.
Ye Jian knew that it was him. Although she was breathing tightly, her expression was calm when she opened the door, and the corners of her eyes were cool. “We can leave now.”
Very good, he didn’t notice anything different about her. He glanced at her and grinned when he turned around. “Miss Betty’s school is in a rich area. It will be much safer than the slums. The decision is sudden and the school was not told in advance, in case someone would take advantage of the situation and do things that would jeopardize our visit.”
“The Head will not go to the school. A diplomatic staff member will be accompanying us and I will be responsible for the security work. I will be protecting you for two hours.”
The car was parked in the basement and the driver was a motorized infantry soldier sent by the Imperial City.
Xia Jinyuan opened the door and let Ye Jian get in first. He then bent down and sat in the back seat gracefully.
Ye Jian thought that he would be sitting in front and her body was slightly tense, and the sound of her breathing stagnated lightly as he closed the door. Her long eyelashes trembled and her eyes drooped slightly.
