"Welcome, you must be tired from your journey. Please go and rest."
Cai Peilin stood next to Lu Yue this time.
"You should go and rest first. We can talk about it after you've woken up."
"good!"
No one's a fool; Wang Xiuqin figured it out: this person, who hadn't uttered more than ten words along the way, was after Lu Yue.
After arranging accommodations for the two of them, Lu Yue had no intention of lying down. She sat in the office, lost in thought.
I became an orphan at the age of five, and I don't remember much about my past, except that I know I was abandoned.
For over a decade, I've been learning various skills to be a bodyguard. Every day is filled with endless training, and at night, I also study cultural knowledge.
She was incredibly exhausted, constantly sustaining both major and minor injuries. However, she persevered and achieved excellent results, finally earning the opportunity to leave the training camp. She knew that the three of them were there to protect the commander's family.
Upon seeing that stunningly beautiful girl, I realized she was the leader's daughter-in-law, or rather, the leader's wife.
I never imagined that becoming a bodyguard would require an exam. I answered those strange questions carefully.
My dream had always been to be a bodyguard, but after only a few days, I was assigned to manage the textile factory.
I was very confused at the time. But I didn't have any other thoughts in my mind; I just obeyed orders.
I initially contacted Cai Peilin because he was in charge of auditing accounts and resolving issues here.
The textile factory was very stable, and there were no decisions to be made; we just had to continue on the old path. My senses were quite sharp, and after a few days, I noticed that this person sent from above was always secretly watching me.
Moreover, the audit here was completed in just two days, but this person did not leave and stayed behind him at all times.
A week later, his behavior became even more obvious, but as a gay man, he didn't say anything.
I don't know what he's thinking either, and I can't very well ask him myself, that would be too awkward.
And so, this person stayed there for twenty days. In the last ten days, he would still speak a few words to me. And the questions were all personal.
I knew that this person could be considered my leader, so I answered all the questions he asked.
After spending more than ten days together, I could sense his emotional changes, and he seemed quite satisfied with his answer.
He didn't say anything until he left.
A week later, Zhang Hongmei called to ask her what she thought of Cai Peilin's feelings for her.
Actually, I had already sensed what he was thinking, and I was a little excited that he brought it up in public this time.
Cai Peilin came again this time. The way he looked at her when she got out of the car made her blush. Did she like him too?
Sometimes I've thought that if I get married, I won't be qualified to be a bodyguard anymore. That's why I impulsively asked when I could go back last time.
Looking back, I really regret asking such a question. Shouldn't I have just obeyed orders?
But once words are spoken, they're like spilled water—they can't be taken back.
Two days ago, I received a call from Zhang Hongmei, who told me that she would send someone she trusted this time. Zhang Hongmei meant that I should mentor her for a while, and once she got the hang of it, I could go back with Cai Peilin.
I was quite excited to hear the news. First, I could finally go back, and second, I could see Cai Peilin.
But now that we've actually met, I don't know what to say.
When he stood beside me, I really had the urge to ask him in person.
Marriage? I'm really looking forward to it. Even though I can't be a bodyguard anymore and my martial arts skills will be useless, I still feel that I'm willing to settle down and start a family.
I was lost in thought for a while, and after the night and day shifts had ended and many people were already eating in the cafeteria, I finally stood up. Today I need to check on the crew; I should just focus on getting my work done.
Visiting all six workshops takes half a day.
When I got back to the office at noon, I took out my lunchbox to go to the cafeteria for lunch. But then I thought, why don't I check if they've woken up yet?
Cai Peilin opened the door after hearing footsteps outside.
"Dinner's ready."
"Yes, let's do it together."
"Okay! I'll go check if Wang Xiuqin has woken up."
"I'll wait for you here." Lu Yue went to the girls' dormitory to call for someone, but Cai Peilin certainly wouldn't go over.
Wang Xiuqin had been awake for a while and hadn't driven the whole way. She had even taken a nap, so she wasn't tired at all.
The three of them went to the cafeteria together. The food there was quite good; at least breakfast consisted of steamed white flour buns.
After lunch, the three went to the office. Lu Yue called the accountant over, and the four of them spent the afternoon reconciling the textile factory's accounts, including the profit figures. The accountant and Lu Yue both signed off on the accounts, which were to be given to Zhang Hongmei.
While having dinner in the canteen, I said to Wang Xiuqin, "Starting tomorrow, I will show you how the textile factory operates."
"No need to rush, we'll head back on the 20th." Cai Peilin proactively told Lu Yue the return date, not wanting her to be too anxious or tired.
"Yes, let's bring Wang Xiuqin out with us. That way, she won't forget anything. While I'm still here, I'll tell her about some of the little details I've discovered, so she doesn't have to figure it out on her own."
Yes! Thank you!
"No need to be polite. We are all serving the lady, and I will never hold anything back."
After dinner, the night shift workers started taking over production. Zhang Hongmei's idea was that the workers could rest, but the machines could not stop, so there were three shifts, with eight hours of work per day.
"Sister Lu, I'm going to take a look around the workshop. You don't need to come with me."
"Okay, let's not stay up too late. We need to hand over the raw material warehouse and the finished product warehouse tomorrow."
"yes."
Cai Peilin watched as Lu Yue finally finished explaining.
"Shall we talk?"
Lu Yue nodded somewhat awkwardly. From childhood to adulthood, she had only been in contact with the training camp's masters, instructors, and fellow students. Back then, everyone's energy was focused on learning and training, and they had almost all been together since childhood.
She had very little contact with the opposite sex. Lu Yue knew Cai Peilin's attitude towards her, and felt both bewildered and secretly pleased.
"Let's talk in the office. That way, they can reach me quickly if anything comes up."
Cai Peilin wasn't a romantic person to begin with, and he didn't care much about the environment when they talked. Although they were going to talk about feelings, he hadn't thought about going to a quiet place, but he still didn't want to be disturbed by others.
"Okay, but let's close the door first, otherwise people will disturb us!"
