"Really?" Lu Qianning straightened up upon hearing this.
This way I can see her beautiful figure.
But it seems like I was the one who did this, right?
Considering he took care of Lu Qianning, I won't pursue the matter further.
“My international connections are very useful, so this little thing is nothing to me.”
Grass!
Lu Qianning was genuinely grateful to him: "Thank you so much. We'll be there to hear your speech tomorrow."
"Um...can you come out tonight?"
Lu Qianning looked at me and said, "No! I'm a little tired."
"Alright then! See you tomorrow."
After Lu Qianning hung up the phone, I said, "Actually, I'm not so petty as to get angry just because you have dinner with someone of the opposite sex."
"I'm really tired, okay? You've exhausted me."
I couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll order some food to eat in the room to replenish my energy, and we'll continue."
"Get lost! Don't touch me tonight."
That's what we said, but after we ate dinner that night, we still had a fierce battle.
We both know that once I return to China, it will be a long time before we can meet again, so we cherish the time we have together.
This time, Lu Qianning told me that she would never have another man in her life except me.
He doesn't care how many women I have; she only asks to occupy a corner in my heart.
This pained me deeply. Because of her identity as Wuri, we were destined not to get married and could only live together in this way.
I couldn't help but start thinking about how to guide Wuri onto the right path.
Even if we can't get married, I want her to be able to find me openly and honestly.
What if we let Wuri become the eyes and ears of the Great Xia outside?
At least she won't face any obstacles when she goes to Daxia in the future.
Alas! I'm afraid even the Great Xia wouldn't openly acknowledge them!
...
In the morning, I opened my eyes and glanced at Lu Qianning, who was nestled in my arms like a kitten.
She was still fast asleep.
Feeling her body temperature, I couldn't help but hug her tighter.
Lu Qianning was startled and immediately sat up straight:
"You...you're not allowed to come here again."
Um... "Am I that scary?"
"I have something to do today! Um... why don't you come with me to the seminar?"
Lu Qianning jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Holy crap! This is incredible!
I barely managed to suppress my anger and picked up my phone to call Samantha:
"Sis! Can the court hearing be held today?"
"It's still early! The person in charge of the base in the United States hasn't arrived yet. I need to put more pressure on them."
That's beyond my control; I'm just glad I'm okay today.
I got up too, went to the bathroom to wash up, and went with Lu Qianning...
This time I held back and only rubbed Lu Qianning's back; I didn't bother her anymore.
After washing up, we went downstairs to get something to eat.
Then we went to a seminar together.
I thought Richard would be the main speaker! But when I looked at the information board by the door, I realized he was only in charge of one section and was the second speaker.
The following is signed: Institute for the Study of Human Behavior.
I don't understand. What human behavior? That's such an abstract name.
"Qianning!" Richard, who was also in charge of greeting guests, stood at the door and waved to us.
Jenny had already arrived and was standing next to him.
She still didn't give me a friendly look: "Look how great our Richard is! Everyone here is a big businessman or a member of an international organization."
"If it weren't for Richard giving you the tickets, you'd never have been to an event like this in your entire life."
I didn't argue with Jenny, out of consideration for Lu Qianning.
Richard: "Jenny! How disrespectful! Zheng Yang is your sister's boyfriend. Even if he's mediocre, you can't look down on him."
This may seem like they're speaking up for me, but it actually adds insult to injury.
Lu Qianning knew it wasn't a nice thing to say, but she couldn't say anything.
She could only hold my arm tighter and press me more firmly against her body.
I smiled and shook my head: "May we go in and see the world?"
"Not yet. You can go in after all the VIPs have arrived!"
I've never seen an entrance like this before.
Why would anyone make people wait outside for a meeting?
I took out my admission ticket and looked at it, but why wasn't there a seat number?
Let me check the other people's tickets; they all have seats.
Moreover, several of the speakers clearly brought people they knew with them inside.
I think I understand now. Richard was handing out seats without assigned numbers, probably so we could fill in the empty seats when they weren't full.
That means that's about the status he's in.
Lu Qianning: "Zheng Yang! Then we'll wait outside."
"Yeah! Anyway, I'm fine anywhere as long as I'm standing with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianning smiled sweetly, just like a young girl in her first love.
Just then, several cars drove up, and Richard, seeing this, quickly shooed the people who were waiting at the door, just like us, back to the side.
"Everyone, step back, a big shot is coming."
I craned my neck to see who this important person was.
They all had name tags on them, indicating they were secretaries of this organization or group leaders of that organization, but there wasn't even a president among them.
The only president is still their own, the president of the Human Guild.
I was speechless when I saw it. It seems that their international organization is almost the same as a non-governmental organization.
What do you mean I'll never want to be in this kind of situation again?
If it weren't for accompanying Lu Qianning, I wouldn't have come to this event even if you invited me.
Those important figures in Richard's eyes had already arrived, and Richard didn't even have the right to approach them.
"Vice President Zheng?" someone called out directly.
