Chapter 47

Qing Li did not leave the manor that day, Yue Zhi came back from work, she also rare did not go downstairs to meet.

Because she felt that the way she handled the situation should not be what Yue Zhi wanted to see, Yue Zhi once said that sympathy is a big price to pay, and has always let her learn to be ruthless, she has always thought that she has been ruthless and cold enough, but today she is still a woman’s benevolence.

She admitted that there was no way that she could not have compassion for this kind of true love for Tweed, as if she were giving herself a shot in the arm, if she ever met her father Valentin, no matter what the other side of the reason for not picking up her mother in the end, as long as he was truly in love, she seemed to be able to find all sorts of reasons and excuses to forgive him on her own.

Her room is next to the stairs and elevator, and she can hear the movement of the elevator or the sound of someone going up or down the stairs. After living here for almost three years, she has been able to judge the floor by the sound of the elevator, or the sound of footsteps to determine who the person is.

The elevator operated, but did not stop at the second floor, directly on the third floor, Yue Zhi did not come to her, directly back to his room.

Qing Li’s back stiffened up, sure enough, Yue Zhi must be angry, she just let go of Cui De, in a sense is not a kind of betrayal of Yue Zhi?

Thinking of this, she began to hate herself, obviously have made up their minds to cut off the roots, how to the end and did not do anything? As Yue Zhi’s bodyguard, she should exclude all the factors that may be unfavorable to Yue Zhi, as Yue Zhi’s girlfriend, she should only consider Yue Zhi’s safety and security, but which one she did not do well.

But she didn’t do a good job in any of them. What if Yue Zhi was disappointed in her?

Qing Li’s mind was in chaos, and she even started to think about not chasing after Cui De to secretly solve the problem, when she was suddenly embraced by someone from behind.

And her tense nerves relaxed halfway almost the instant she touched that familiar embrace, she tilted her head back and nestled herself into Yue Zhi’s arms, “I thought you were angry with me?”

Yue Zhi rubbed her cheek and pulled her up from the table, sitting together on the sofa opposite the bed, first wrapping the person in his arms and kissing her fiercely, it felt even better and more satisfying than he thought it would.

Even though they’d been flirting for a long time, settling on a relationship or not was like a switch, and the thought of having a loving Aonashi waiting for him made the dark world feel a little more colorful and interesting, non-essential, but certainly beautiful.

“What are you angry about?” Yue Zhi wrapped Qing Li to lie on the sofa, smoothing her hair one by one, “Because of what happened when Cuide left?”

“Well, you once told me that compassion comes with a price, but I still let him go because he told me that the target of that operation wasn’t you, and that he just didn’t think that my life or death was important to him, but never thought of betraying you.” Qing Li’s cheek was pressed against Yue Zhi’s chest, “I wasn’t really familiar with him in the first place, and I thought his reasons were understandable, so I felt that the punishment was over even if …… his wife was still waiting for him to return.”

“I’m not angry, in fact, on balance, your actions are considered appropriate.” Yue Zhi said, “Apart from Xiji and Chen Sai, everyone else in the base and I are on contract, personnel replacement is inevitable, I wish to recruit top talents in terms of single soldier capability, if the matter of killing Cuide spreads out, it will be more troublesome to recruit personnel in the future, and I guess it will spread the reputation of me being a murderous tyrant.”

“Really?” Qing Li didn’t expect Yue Zhi to think this way, the little bit of happiness in her heart flooded out a little bit.

“Well, I’m just a little lost.” Yue Zhi rubbed her forehead with his chin, “I thought that your heart is as hard as iron, only soft to me alone, in fact, secretly, I was somewhat expecting that you can kill the four directions for me, and the gods and ghosts won’t come close.”

Qing Li looked up slightly, “Do you expect me to be like that?”

“Men are all the same, I am naturally not exempt, I want you to become a blade that is incredibly sharp, the only soft and safe handle against all people other than me, in my case, no one else other than me is important to you.” Yue Zhi sighed, his eyes became dark, “More importantly, this way you will be hurt a lot less.”

Qing Li thought about it and looked at him for a while, she suddenly came up and gently bit his chin, “I thought that’s how I am, it seems that it’s still not enough, I’ll work on it.”

How could Yue Zhi stand this kind of Ah Li, hooping her waist and starting another round of kisses.

Qing Li simply said these seemingly promising words like that, promising that she would be the sword in Yue Zhi’s hands, the only softness reserved only for Yue Zhi, how could she have known at that time that the regret brought by these words would even make her wish to disappear from this world.

Yue Zhi stifled a grunt, restrained himself and moved his face away, pressing Qing Li on his shoulder, “Come to my room tonight, okay?”

Qing Li refused almost immediately, her face calm and righteous, “No.”

Yue Zhi was only joking about it, he didn’t expect her to refuse so dryly, he froze a little, “Why?”

Qing Li lowered her eyes, “Progress is too fast, I’m shy.”

If others were to look at her, no one could see where Qing Li was showing shyness, because her expression and tone of voice were not any different from her usual indifferent appearance.

However, Yue Zhi could feel the tiny changes in her emotions, looking at her face with a bit of pink color, he smiled and let her go, “Alright, alright, it’s me who’s bashful, let’s go, let’s go eat.”

Xiji and Liang Jin were already waiting at the restaurant, looking at the two people coming down together, and Qing Li’s slightly red lips, they knew what the two were doing up there for half a day.

“Is Yue Zhi’s age too big, or Qing Li your emotions are different from the norm ah, you two from poking through the windowpaper to natural passionate love there is not a little bit of transition period, normal are not supposed to have a period of desire, shyness and sweetness coexist in the awkward period?” Xiji propped up his chin, expressing that he was very unable to understand the current situation of the two.

Yue Zhi didn’t even bother to talk to him, but Qing Li thought about the issue very seriously, “I think there are all the reasons you mentioned, but I’m actually quite shy, I just didn’t show it, after all, isn’t the basic training at the base to collect your emotions?”

Xiji froze for a few seconds, snorted and laughed, covering his stomach and stumbling with laughter.

Yue Zhi was helpless, “Ah Li, am I very old?”

Qing Li swallowed the food in her mouth and thought about it, “Compared to me, I should be considered old.”

Yue Zhi could only make up for himself, “It’s okay, being older will hurt.”

“This is also true.” Qingli nodded.

Xiji was already laughing like crazy, but Liang Jin only felt raucous and ate his meal in silence.

The days after that were a period of time that even years later Qing Li who found the memories unbearable would find beautiful.

She didn’t follow Yue Zhi out every day, but Liang Jin would indeed put her scheduling a little more in accordance with Yue Zhi’s instructions, allowing her to stay with Yue Zhi in the capacity of a bodyguard.

On the days when she was not scheduled to work, she also had almost no other work, just stayed at the base and trained constantly, then waited for Yue Zhi to come back.

Time quickly came to August, Yue Zhi’s thirty-third birthday, in fact, he almost never had a birthday, but this year, he uncharacteristically prepared to vigorously organize some, chartered the top floor of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, held a small-scale, ordinary people can not enter the banquet.

The most crucial thing is that he will bring his female companion to attend, and the female companion is Qing Li.

This news somehow leaked out, causing quite a lot of discussion in the dark, because in these few months everyone knows that Yue Zhi side appeared a beautiful creature, but he few times to attend the banquet, but did not bring this woman to attend, the side is still for many years as one day, followed by a doll-faced, androgynous West Pole.

This time, but to change this woman as a female companion, not invited people also want to get an invitation, to the scene to see the real face, to see in the end how the beauty can let Yue Zhi waist, abandon the “old good friend” West pole.

A few weeks before the banquet, Yue Zhi gave Qing Li a merchandise book, let her choose a dress, said it was a merchandise book, in fact, all the designers during this period of time specially designed for Qing Li’s models.

“It’s all dresses.” Qing Li flipped through them, and almost all of them were light colors like white or champagne, “In that case, I’m afraid it’s not conducive to carrying out escort missions in unexpected situations.”

“Just don’t think about the mission, you won’t be on a mission that day, your biggest task is to accompany me to the banquet and be my female companion, there will be special security, so just pick what you like.”

Since he had said so, Qing Li began to look through it seriously, finally pointing to a white side slit, Chinese stand-up collar with lime green disk buttons dress, “How about this one?”

“Well, not bad, it suits you, but why did you choose this one?” Yue Zhi asked.

“Because it has green color on it, I think it will fit the ‘Biyi’ earrings you gave me, can I wear those earrings that day?” Green Pear said.

“Of course, I’m looking forward to it.” Yue Zhi kissed the corner of her lips.

In order to match Qing Li’s dress, Yue Zhi also wore a rare white suit that day, wearing a pair of emerald cuffs, echoing the colors of Qing Li’s dress, completely a couple’s outfit.

Of course, Qing Li was oblivious to this, or was invited by Lin Caiyue told her, “you two really together, even the dress is a couple models, do not be so sweet ah?”

Qing Li then realized what was going on, her heart was indeed sweet.

It was said that all the guests invited to the banquet were Southeast Asian bigwigs and politicians, such as the Yunsheng Group, which had bid for the “Bili” with Yue Zhi, as well as business groups from other countries and regions that had close dealings with Yue’s family, including Lance’s New Russia Technology Group.

The vast majority of people Qing Li do not recognize, all rely on Lin Caiyue in the side of the science, but she did not listen very seriously, because she has been guessing Yue Zhi today the purpose of this banquet in the end what, do not know why, she always feel uneasy in her heart.

“Ah, actually really came, there’s a good show to watch.” Lin Caiyue’s tone became gloating.

Qing Li followed her gaze and saw a beautiful-looking Chinese-American woman with an elegant temperament.

That woman looked at her hatefully, the disgust in her eyes undisguised.

Qing Li was a bit puzzled, calmly looked back, the oppression of the eyes was not the same magnitude, the other party was quite a bit fled with meaning, turned around and left.
