Although it was quite a long and complicated process, Yun Duo and Li Bingchen finally got their wish and set foot on the soil of Country M with the diplomatic delegation led by Gu Shaoyong.
Perhaps because they had just received a "great advantage" from China, the Chinese delegation was treated with great courtesy this time. Unlike in the past, the delegation was not made to "sit on the sidelines for a few days" beforehand. Moreover, a welcome banquet was held that evening, and two "distinguished young guests" were "solemnly" invited to attend.
Li Bingchen disliked the food served at the party, and he disliked even more those people who appeared mild-mannered but were actually harboring daggers in their hearts. More importantly... he felt that this kind of thing was a huge waste of his time.
He's here to do serious business, not to watch them put on a show!
Li Bingchen, holding a plate of snacks, complained quietly to Yun Duo in a secluded corner, "Why do we have to come to these occasions where adults are just being polite and insincere?"
Yun Duo knew what Li Bingchen really wanted to complain about, but she didn't say much. She just put on a cute fake smile and looked at Li Bingchen, saying, "Because we can't let people think we're impolite."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, don't you think these cakes they prepared are actually delicious? Every single one looks so good, both tasty and beautiful." As she spoke, she scooped up a small piece of cake with a spoon and put it in her mouth, making a very enjoyable "mmm" sound, as if she had eaten a lot of delicious food.
"It's too greasy, I don't like it." Li Bingchen frowned, making no attempt to hide his dislike.
Yun Duo smiled at Li Bingchen: "Because you ate too much at once. You need to eat smaller portions. Like me, take a small bite, hold it in your mouth, and let it dissolve slowly. Don't swallow it right away." As she spoke, she gave Li Bingchen a "don't be impatient" look. Then she said to Li Bingchen, "Oh dear, this is still too big for you. Let me help you."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Li Bingchen, took his small spoon, scooped up a small amount of cake for him, and even fed it to Li Bingchen's mouth.
Li Bingchen's face instantly turned bright red, and he stammered, "I... I can do it myself. I'm so big now, I don't need you to feed me..."
At the same time, Yun Duo whispered in Li Bingchen's ear, "There's someone eavesdropping, don't show it."
Even though they are just children, they will be monitored in this place. Xiao Jiu just discovered several carefully disguised listening devices. Of course, these were probably set up directly at the party venue, not specifically to eavesdrop on the two children.
Li Bingchen reacted quickly. As soon as Yun Duo spoke, he understood. He didn't show anything, but deliberately said in a 'dissatisfied' tone, "It's still not tasty. I don't like such sweet and greasy things. I'd rather eat a steamed bun or a mantou."
Yun Duo looked somewhat helpless: "Then you'll just have to wait until you get back to eat. But you were the one who wanted to come, so why are you complaining about their food as soon as you arrived?"
Knowing that he was being eavesdropped on, Li Bingchen deliberately said, "The food isn't the point. The point is that we're here to have fun and travel. Why should we stay here and attend some damn party? I want to go out and see the legendary city that never sleeps."
