Chapter 716 Too Many Identities
Li Jinxing smiled faintly, held her hand and whispered comfortingly: "The Nie family will not and dare not stop you. This time I will accompany you!"
Nie Yao responded softly, subconsciously tightening her grip on his hand. She blinked and smiled, "You too, don't be afraid. This time, you have the military's protection, and I'm here. I won't let those thugs hiding behind you hurt you in the slightest!"
Li Jinxing raised the corners of his lips slightly, and clasped his fingers with hers, placing them on his abdomen.
The injuries there had long since healed, but the scene of being shot and falling in the Emperor Valley and then being rescued by Nie Yao seemed like just yesterday...
"Yaoyao, revisiting the old place, who would have thought that my savior has now become my fiancée!" Li Jinxing sighed softly.
"Yeah, it's not been that long, but it seems like I've suddenly gained a lot of identities!" Nie Yao nodded, laughing self-deprecatingly, "What's this Nie family daughter? And your Master Li Jiu's fiancée..."
"No matter how you change, in my heart, you will always be the same you!" Li Jinxing lifted the back of her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, whispering, "Don't worry about those external identities..."
Nie Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, nodded and smiled: "I know!"
It was precisely because she knew that what Li Jinxing saw through her was not the daughter of the Nie family, but the original her, that she felt at ease and boldly stayed with him, even though she knew that they would face many unknown dangers!
He never cared whether she was well-dressed or not, nor did he care whether she would inherit any family fortune. He was even willing to give up his luxurious villa for her and support her in pursuing her dreams...
At the engagement party, they looked like an enviable wealthy couple, but when they took off their fancy clothes, they were just a young couple who were willing to give for each other!
The convoy slowly drove into Liberation Square and stopped in front of the building of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
"We're here—" Nie Yao sighed softly. Just as she was about to open the car door, bodyguards Ke Li and Jia Shan said, "Miss Nie, let's get out—"
Nie Yao nodded happily and waited for the two bodyguards to get out of the car. She watched through the car window as her adoptive father, Professor Fred, and Steve followed the official from the Ministry of Cultural Relics out of the car, and then she and Li Jinxing also got out of the car.
At the door of the building, someone was already waiting for their arrival. Following the introduction of the Cultural Relics Department official, the person in charge of reception politely shook hands and greeted Professor Fred, Li Jinxing, and Nie Yao respectively.
"The person in charge and the director are already waiting for your arrival inside—"
The receptionist smiled and explained to Li Jinxing and Nie Yao, then politely extended his hand and said, "Please follow me—"
Ted, the officer responsible for protecting their safety, and several bodyguards stayed in the waiting room.
When they arrived at the huge reception room, they saw the chief director of the Supreme Antiquities Council and the old director of the Egyptian Museum waiting there. Some cultural relics department staff, including a professor of archaeology from Cairo University, were also waiting here for Li Jinxing and Nie Yao.
As soon as they saw them come in, everyone looked over at them, and the atmosphere in the huge reception room became a bit serious.
"Professor Fred and Mr. Li are here..." the Cultural Relics Department official who led the way explained in a low voice to the chief officer.
