She was a poor woman from the slums.
And he was the all-powerful President.
Some people said the President was just having a temporary whim and that Shi Nian, the poor woman, would even...
She was waiting for him.
And I was very anxious.
Otherwise, we'll wait inside the villa.
Upon seeing Zhan Xiuchen, Shi Nian rushed over.
She stopped in front of Zhan Xiuchen.
Despite the short journey, fine beads of sweat appeared on Shi Nian's forehead.
This clearly shows how fast Shi Nian ran.
“Mr. Zhan.” Shi Nian’s eyes were bright.
This was the first time Zhan Xiuchen had seen Shi Nian's eyes shine so brightly!
It was so bright it was as if the stars in the sky had fallen down!
It wasn't just her eyes that were shining!
She was glowing.
"You made this suggestion, didn't you?" Although it was a question, Shi Nian was already certain. She said, "I knew you were a good person, I just knew it!"
When she spoke, Shi Nian's tone was incredibly cheerful.
At this moment, she was like a little girl.
When Zhan Xiuchen first met Shi Nian, he felt that Shi Nian was very old despite her young age.
His speech and actions were both incredibly old-fashioned.
But now, Shi Nian is showing a rare girlish demeanor.
This caused a smile to flash in Zhan Xiuchen's dark eyes.
This is how Shi Nian should be.
She was only in her early twenties.
She should have been a young girl.
Seeing Zhan Xiu's deep smile, Shi Nian could be 100% certain.
She thanked Zhan Xiuchen.
But at the same time, I remembered something Qin Yajing said.
"This is the first time in the history of Country A that such a proposal has been made, and it will certainly encounter a lot of resistance."
Qin Yajing said that to Shi Nian on purpose.
To gain points, one must make a good impression on Zhan Xiuchen in front of Shi Nian.
After she learned that Zhan Xiuchen was the president, she wouldn't hold a grudge against him for deceiving her.
Qin Yajing's words made Shi Nian even more grateful to Zhan Xiuchen.
Qin Yajing just didn't expect that.
Because she didn't know that Zhan Xiuchen was President Shi Nian, her dislike for the president intensified even further.
Therefore, the next line is: "That despicable president will certainly not agree, Mr. Zhan. I know that your proposal must have encountered great resistance."
Shi Nian didn't understand politics.
But she could foresee the resistance Zhan Xiuchen would face.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude, and in the end, all her words could be summed up in just two words.
Thanks.
Meanwhile, the veins on Zhan Xiuchen's forehead throbbed.
How was he supposed to tell Shi Nian that he was that damned president?
The more I think about it, the more my head aches.
In the end, I simply gave up.
Zhan Xiuchen gave a half-smile: "So how are you going to thank me? Hmm?"
The last syllable is slightly elongated.
It has a lingering, magnetic gentleness.
But as luck would have it, a "clucking" sound came from the garden.
Those were two old hens in the garden making a ruckus.
Shi Nian said, "I'll stew them and make you some soup."
Zhan Xiuchen: "........."
He gave a wry smile: "Never mind then, I've raised it for so long, I've developed feelings for it."
Shi Nian: "........."
A little later, the two walked toward the villa.
"You should eat red ginseng every day," Zhan Xiuchen and Shi Nian instructed.
He gave Shi Nian a total of ten red ginseng plants.
Eat one plant every day.
Shi Nian's back scars, while not completely healed, should be mostly gone.
A young girl shouldn't have a back covered in scars.
"I've eaten." Shi Nian was unusually well-behaved tonight.
Just like a well-behaved student.
“I will eat what Mr. Zhan instructed,” Shi Nian said. “I will remember.”
Zhan Xiuchen glanced at Shi Nian.
Hmm.
The little hedgehog, covered in thorns, had suddenly become so docile and obedient, which made him feel a little uneasy.
After that glance, Zhan Xiuchen suddenly made a new discovery.
This new discovery caused his dark eyes to darken instantly, with a faint smile playing across them.
