Shu Ying was a little nervous at first, but once the meeting officially started and she got into work mode, she became completely absorbed in it, as if she had become a completely different person.

That serious work attitude, accurate and comprehensive translation skills, plus a touch of talent and improvisation, almost fulfilled all the requirements of a qualified translator.

Furthermore, the translation speed was very fast, which helped the Soviet side quickly understand the statements of other speakers and communicate with them without any obstacles.

Everything went very smoothly.

The process went so smoothly that even the Soviet representatives were greatly surprised.

They really underestimated this woman.

Howard and Lusca were laughing so hard their wrinkles were practically showing, teasing the others.

"I told you this Comrade Shu Ying is very capable, but you didn't believe me before."

The others smiled somewhat embarrassedly and gave Shu Ying a thumbs-up repeatedly.

During their free time, Director Wu and Minister Yu cast admiring glances at Shu Ying, their faces beaming with smiles and appreciation.

As the saying goes, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective. Shu Ying was actually a little unsure herself until she received everyone's affirmation, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this was her first time, and she wasn't looking for anything amazing; she would be content as long as she didn't make any mistakes.

After the daytime meetings concluded, a dinner was held immediately afterwards.

Shu Ying was soon informed that the original translator was in serious condition and would not be able to be discharged from the hospital for the time being, so she would still have to continue to accompany the translator to the banquet that evening.

Shu Ying was originally worried about how to find an opportunity to contact her father without attracting attention.

His eyes lit up instantly after hearing this.

Being an accompanying translator is a great opportunity!

There are many people at the dinner party, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. It should be possible to find an opportunity to sneak out and meet with Dad during the dinner party.

It was noon when I came out of the meeting room, and there was still an afternoon before the banquet began.

Shu Ying and her group then went to have a meal first.

Sitting down in the restaurant, looking at the standard meals provided according to the menu, Shu Ying felt less hungry than when eating at home, even though they looked clean and nutritionally balanced.

She sighed softly.

I've only missed one meal at home, and I already can't help but miss my sister's cooking.

If my sister really goes to university in the future, won't she miss her terribly?

As Shu Ying thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh again.

If Xie Mingzhu heard this, she would be overjoyed.

Shu Ying ate her rice listlessly.

The meal was as I had imagined; while the taste was acceptable, it didn't really have any outstanding features.

As Shu Ying ate, she drifted off into thought, unable to stop thinking about her two children.

I wonder if Yangyang and Yueyue are taking their afternoon nap now. She's not eating at home today. Did my sister plan her lunch properly? I bet she just grabbed something quick and easy.

As she pondered, her thoughts drifted back to Xie Zhiyan.

Although the meeting has ended, most of the participants are now gathered in the venue's restaurant for a meal.

The high degree of freedom and mobility among personnel makes the situation even more complex than during a meeting.

Shu Ying turned her head and took a special look.

Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying were still patrolling inside and outside with their men.

The two, who used to bicker and joke around all the time, were now extremely serious.

Even Ye Zhanying, who is usually relaxed and carefree, now has sharp eyes and is always on guard.

Upon meeting Shu Ying's gaze, the two of them changed their previously chilling demeanor, smiling and waving in greeting, then pointing to a spot not far away.

Shu Ying looked in the direction they were pointing and saw Xie Zhiyan staring intently at the situation inside the arena with a serious expression.

He didn't see Shu Ying; all his attention was focused on the room, silently observing everyone and every corner.

It seems he hasn't rested since the meeting started this morning.

She still has time to eat and rest, but he doesn't know when that will be.

Shu Ying frowned slightly, feeling a pang of heartache.

Seeing Xie Zhiyan's fully alert and unwavering demeanor, it seemed that something was amiss.

Although Xie Zhiyan usually doesn't show much expression when he's working and is generally aloof, he usually observes his surroundings calmly and quietly, not so serious.

The fact that Xie Zhiyan, Ye Zhanying, and Qi Zecheng are all on such high alert suggests that something must have happened at the scene today.

I just don't know what it is.

Finally, the team that had just finished eating came to relieve him. Xie Zhiyan inspected the area to make sure it was safe for the time being before turning around to eat.

Shu Ying quickly tidied up her plate and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, just as they chased out of the staff restaurant and turned a corner, another figure came after them.

Where are we going?

Shu Ying paused unexpectedly, turned her head and saw Xie Zhiyan leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, smiling slightly at her.

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes and brows from being tense for too long.

Shu Ying frowned slightly. Since no one was around, she simply went up and hugged him.

"Didn't we go to eat?"

Xie Zhiyan naturally put his arm around her waist, but his hand didn't tighten; instead, he held her firmly, allowing her to relax as much as possible.

"Qi Zecheng just said that you kept looking this way, and he guessed that you might come after us, so he waited for you."

Shu Ying sighed softly and reached out to massage his shoulders.

"You've been working all morning, aren't you tired?"

Xie Zhiyan smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"fine."

Shu Ying knew how much training he usually did. He might not be physically tired, but he was definitely mentally exhausted.

Shu Ying wanted to say something more, but Xie Zhiyan grabbed her hand that was massaging her shoulders.

He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

"Our translation work at Shu University is truly exhausting."

"How are you feeling? Is your back aching?"

After all, he was carrying three babies in his belly. He couldn't be there for Shuying's delivery last time, and as soon as he learned that he was going to have three more children, he immediately went back to his unit to ask his comrades who had relevant experience.

Comrades who have given birth to twins or multiples all say that carrying multiple babies can easily cause backaches and leg pains.

He had been worried all morning, glancing into the venue every now and then, afraid that Shu Ying might be feeling unwell.

Shu Ying smiled and shook her head.

"It's still early in the pregnancy, the baby isn't fully formed yet, so it's not that serious."

"But you, you must be careful."

Xie Zhiyan squeezed Shu Ying's hand to reassure her.

"good."

After their brief get-together, Shu Ying urged him to go eat.
