Chapter 440: Carry it close to your body
Nie Yao shook her head and replied with a faint smile: "No need for a meeting gift..."
"Why not? Doesn't your adoptive father like it?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"My adoptive father said he's contacted the Egyptian authorities to pick us up. Once we arrive in Egypt, the military will escort us. He'll be waiting for us in Egypt until we safely reach the Cultural Relics Bureau!" Nie Yao looked up at Li Jinxing and explained with a smile, "I think the Queen Hasselblad artifacts we've obtained are the perfect gift for him!"
"Then thank you very much, my adoptive father!" Li Jinxing smiled faintly and sighed softly to Nie Yao, "Asking the Egyptian authorities for help is a good idea. Fortunately, I also hired two of Feng Xun's most powerful bodyguards!"
"There are people to pick us up on the way back to Egypt, but the journey there isn't necessarily safe, so it's better to bring everyone with you!"
Nie Yao frowned slightly and advised seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you this time!" Li Jinxing pinched her nose and comforted her seriously.
"Nothing will happen to me, and nothing can happen to you either!" Nie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, held his big hand, and said slowly and solemnly.
"Okay, I promise you, we will be safe on this trip!" Li Jinxing nodded, kissed her cheek, hugged her in his arms, lowered his head and whispered a smile in her ear as he promised.
Nie Yao nodded silently, then remembered something and reached out to touch his arms again.
Li Jinxing grabbed her wrist and jokingly said, "Yaoyao, this is the living room. If you can't wait, let's go back to the room..."
Nie Yao's face flushed slightly. She glared at him and said unhappily, "I'm looking for the amulet I gave you before. What are you thinking about?"
"So you are looking for a talisman. I thought you were just hungry and warm..." Li Jinxing said the last two words in her ear with a low laugh. Nie Yao was about to push him away, but he grabbed her hand, reached into his collar, and then turned out the red rope around his neck.
"Look, I found a red string and tied up the amulet you gave me. I wear it around my neck every day and only take it off when I go to bed at night!"
Li Jinxing pointed at the small sachet hanging under the red rope and laughed softly.
Nie Yao was slightly startled. She looked up at the amulet hanging around his neck and asked hesitantly, "Do you really wear it every day?"
"Of course, this is something you gave me yourself. It's also my lucky charm!" Li Jinxing nodded happily and said with a smile, "Every time you're not around, I can feel your presence through this amulet..."
Nie Yao blushed and whispered, "This sachet was embroidered by my mother. It should be my mother who is accompanying you, not me!"
"But it was given to you by your mother, wasn't it? You've carried it with you for twenty years..." Li Jinxing held her in his arms, lowered his head to rest his hand on her forehead, and chuckled softly, "Yaoyao, this gift is more precious than anything else to me!"
Because his own parents were both deceased, he knew even more clearly how important this sachet left by Nie Yao's mother was to Nie Yao...
This amulet carries the thoughts of her loved ones, their gentle protection, and her luck in escaping danger wherever she travels!
So the moment she gave it to him, he swore in his heart that he would protect her well to be worthy of her good intentions!
