Chapter 271: 274 what you said, will never run away

Tang Xiaohua measured the distance with her eyes and stopped at the so-called "five steps" point.

"Your Excellency, you should go back to Anlin now. Staying here any longer is too dangerous."

She spoke honestly.

"I know."

Wen Nian had his own standard for judging how far to take things.

He had indeed stayed here for too long.

"Then I’ll go inform Secretary Qu and the Commander to prepare the helicopter."

Tang Xiaohua was about to leave when she spoke—

"No rush. You stand here first."

Tang Xiaohua furrowed her brows again, "Your Excellency, it seems like you don’t fully grasp the situation you’re in and the various things that might happen later on—"

"I am the President, how could I not understand?"

"You—"

"Why do you always run?"

"What?"

"A close personal guard should be within five meters. Why do you always seem to want to run when you see me?"

"Your Excellency, are you dazed by the blast? I’ve been running around since eight this morning; what have I run from? Haven’t I been around you the whole time?!"

"I’m talking about your gaze."

"..."

"Your gaze always wants to run. You don’t even dare to make eye contact with me..."

Tang Xiaohua felt he truly had the knack for igniting tempers and sparking explosions!

She glared straight at him, as if proving with her actions: I haven’t run! And I won’t run!

Wen Nian liked this attitude of hers, so he smiled a little.

Tang Xiaohua couldn’t decipher his smile and thought he’d misunderstood something, quickly saying, "I haven’t run!"

"You just haven’t run now."

Wen Nian raised his eyebrow.

"I will never run!"

"Good, you said it yourself, you will never run."

Suddenly, Wen Nian’s voice grew deeper, accompanied by the sinking of his amber-colored eyes...

Tang Xiaohua’s heart tightened.

She knew she had been trapped!

These words were clearly a double entendre, filled with ambiguity!

Tang Xiaohua took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Please, Your Excellency, do not play such childish games!"

Wen Nian’s gaze fell softly on her face.

"It’s not a game. Even if you wanted to run, you couldn’t anymore."

"Wen Nian, what do you mean? Can you stop talking in such an ambiguous way? What kind of women can’t you have by your side? Have you forgotten what I said three years ago, have you forgotten—"

"I haven’t forgotten."

"..."

"Every word, every sentence, I remember it all too clearly."

Wen Nian said indifferently, then fixed his eyes on her and chuckled lightly, "You’re running again..."

"I’m not!"

Right now, Tang Xiaohua felt completely on edge and uncomfortable as if sitting on pins and needles! It seemed she only existed to be toyed with in front of Wen Nian!

"Don’t be annoyed, let me finish speaking."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua held back the urge to shout at him, "I don’t want to listen!" based on her formidable patience... and she managed to restrain herself!

"You’ve also seen that the incident where I went to save those siblings has been spread nationwide."

"I have."

"So, you can no longer hide."

Wen Nian looked at her quietly.

"Everyone saw me go to save the siblings, so they will also see my personal guard saving the President and the siblings."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua pursed her lips. She wasn’t unaware of this.

"You’ve done a great deed, but you’ve also planted a landmine."

"I’ve seen the video uploaded online. I didn’t show my face, and the news reports are still centered around you."

"Right, in the eyes of the citizens, what they see is their President risking his own safety to save a pair of siblings. They probably only see that. But what about the stakeholders?"

"..."

"The Osprey assault team, the Navy, Xilin Military Region, the Guard Department, and even the President Mansion."
