Why are you back?

Yu Chengping asked in shock, "Weren't you in Japan the whole time?"

Upon hearing this, the visitor chuckled.

He sneered and said, "Don't you know why I've been in Japan all this time?"

Because country J is close to the Western Empire!

It's so close to this man!

Jiang Rou wore a well-tailored cheongsam, with her short hair neatly tied behind her head.

She looked calmly at the man behind the desk, but her eyes held a turbulent undercurrent.

Once upon a time, they were classmates in college.

They were lovers who shared the same dream of saving the country during that turbulent era.

In the end, however, they chose different paths to save the country.

Yu Chengping chose to go abroad.

She chose to stay in the country and continue the fight.

At that time.

She thought Yu Chengping was a deserter; she hated and resented him, and for many years she remained unmarried because of this, until…

She saw him again.

In Beijing, outside her former boss's office.

They met him in disguise.

As lovers, even after many years and only a fleeting glance, Jiang Rou recognized him at a glance.

She rushed to her former boss's office to inquire about the reason, and only then did she learn about the nature of Yu Chengping's work.

Underground workers.

The most unsung, yet most dangerous, existence.

Knowing that he had always held onto his youthful dream and hadn't deserted, Jiang Rou's inner turmoil instantly vanished. She couldn't wait to return to his side, but...

But he refused.

She is a person of status in China, so she will become a focus of attention when she goes abroad.

Therefore, her going to the Western Emperor would be tantamount to exposing Yu Chengping's existence, so...

Yu Chengping refused without hesitation.

Jiang Rou's heart sank.

But she was not discouraged.

Years later, unable to return to Yu Chengping's side, she went to a place closer to him.

She went to J country, which borders the West, and became a foreign affairs officer stationed there.

Having served each other for years, they had met on some occasions, but they only glanced at each other from afar and did not exchange words.

up……

When the theft at the West Imperial Base occurred, Jiang Rou, stationed in J Country, fully cooperated with Yu Chengping's work, and the two crossed paths again.

But that intersection was as fleeting as a flash in the pan.

With the Western Emperor's affair resolved and his identity exposed, Yu Chengping returned to China, along with Jiang Rou...

After waiting for several months, I finally received a new transfer order.

She's back!

She's back with this man!

Their eyes met.

Yu Chengping: "!!!"

He looked at Jiang Rou with a complicated expression.

“But… even if you go back to China, you should go to the foreign affairs office.”

He asked nervously, "How did you end up here?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou raised an eyebrow.

He stepped forward, pulled out the chair opposite Yu Chengping, and sat down directly.

Why can't I be here?

She said.

Yu Chengping: "!!!"

He glanced at her, who was sitting calmly and composed, and then looked towards the doorway.

Of course, it's because this is his office.

He's waiting for his new secretary to arrive!

Jiang Rou: ...

Following his gaze, I glanced towards the door.

Who are you waiting for?

She asked, "Is that your female assistant at Xidi?"

Even after many years, Yu Chengping's survival instinct, ingrained in his very bones, remained when he faced his former lover.

"I don't!"

He answered instinctively.

After answering, he looked somewhat embarrassed and dared not look Jiang Rou in the eye.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

There is no best!

She threw a document in front of Yu Chengping, crossed her arms, and said, "Yu Chengping, I'm your new secretary!"
