Chapter 257: 260 Do you want the opportunity? I’ll give it to you

"I ordered you to find Long Siyan, he’s the one who should solve this matter!"

"I apologize, Your Excellency, I misunderstood. I’ll go find Minister Long right away."

Qu Yu responded. His steps slowly moved backward, and just as he was about to reach the door, Wen Nian stopped him,

"Wait a moment."

Qu Yu stood still; he remained impassive.

"Did she really say... she willingly accepted the mission?"

Qu Yu nodded.

Wen Nian pursed his thin lips, his fingertips tapping on the desk,

"Go bring her to see me."

"Yes!"

Qu Yu’s response was noticeably more cheerful this time! He turned and left, giving Wen Nian no chance to hesitate or change his mind.

Wen Nian vaguely felt that something was strange...

Tang Xiaohua stood in the President’s Office, which was empty at the moment. Qu Yu had brought her here and told her to wait before he left.

The vast President’s Office...

From the furniture to the decorations, from the office supplies to the adornments, everything seemed unchanged from three years ago.

Qu Yu only said that Wen Nian wanted to see her; he didn’t mention anything else.

Standing there, she could almost see the scene from three years ago when she said goodbye to Wen Nian.

However, she didn’t let her emotions get the better of her.

She knew very well that the closer she was to him, the clearer her mind must be. She followed orders, carried out missions, protected the President! Beyond that, there was nothing else, nothing to think about.

When Wen Nian entered, she still stood there, unmoving.

"Why did you accept this mission?"

Wen Nian cut straight to the point.

"Obedience is a soldier’s duty. There is no ’why’."

Three years apart, the first time they met alone, even the tone of their speech was cold.

"If I reassigned you now, would you be willing?"

If before coming here, Commander Luo Haiyong hadn’t earnestly told her that she and Song Yangling’s arrival in Anlin represented the glory of the Navy Corps, she would have nodded without hesitation.

But now...

"I am unwilling."

"Why?"

"Protecting the President is a great opportunity for promotion hardly within reach for young officers like us, isn’t it? Only a fool would give up such an opportunity so easily."

Wen Nian sat in the President’s chair; he looked at her, listening to her...

For a moment, a strong thought flashed through his mind: Don’t let her go again, don’t let her go again, don’t let her go again...!

She had changed, she was always changing, day by day, month by month, year by year...

She was still beautiful, but she was no longer the fresh, charming, and young girl kind of beautiful; her face bore marks of wind and sun, her eyes held the efficiency and keenness that came with worldly experience.

"Your Excellency, are you very afraid of me?"

A trace of slyness and sarcasm appeared in those keen eyes, "Afraid that I harbor grudges about what happened three years ago, afraid I came to the President Mansion not to follow orders, but to seek personal revenge."

"You’re afraid, afraid that I’m not here to protect you, but to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on you."

Wen Nian folded his hands and murmured, "Hmm... the incident from three years ago... how to handle it? I’m going to disappoint you."

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Tang Xiaohua couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows...

"Tang Xiaohua, report to me at eight o’clock Monday morning. From then on, you’ll be my personal guard."

Personal, personal guard?

"You want opportunities, I’ll give them to you. Whether you’re truly loyal to me, waiting for a chance to take revenge, or just wanting a promotion, it’s all possible."

What, what the hell...

Tang Xiaohua swallowed reflexively.

Wen Nian’s expression was perfectly composed, "Twenty-four hours a day, no more than five meters distance. Plenty of opportunities, they’re everywhere, it’s up to you how to seize them."
