Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

The next day,

As a ray of morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto the sheets, Qin Huanhuan was awakened by a fragrant aroma.

She wrapped the blanket tighter around herself, closed her eyes, and sniffed the air. It was a very familiar smell—the aroma of that stinky man making breakfast…

Suddenly, a pair of large hands reached under the covers and climbed onto her unbound breasts...

"You're awake! Get up and have breakfast."

Xiao Zhan's voice murmured gently in the woman's ear.

But the force was a bit greater.

Qin Huanhuan's body went limp from being teased...

at this time,

Qin Huanhuan had no strength left to escape.

Even her voice became hoarse from crying.

Half an hour later,

Qin Huanhuan was carried into the bathroom by Xiao Zhan…

Fifteen minutes later,

The two of them, after showering, sat at the dining table in their pajamas.

Xiao Zhan looked radiant and full of energy, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness as he gazed at Qin Huanhuan before him…

Looking at Qin Huanhuan, her face was as radiant as a peach blossom, and her brows were filled with a strong sense of happiness. However, her dark circles under her eyes clearly showed how crazy she had been the night before…

Xiao Zhan ladled a bowl of millet porridge and placed it in front of Qin Huanhuan, saying, "You must be starving, eat up."

Qin Huanhuan saw that there were also fried eggs, steamed buns, mushroom and vegetable buns, cold black fungus and cucumber salad, and a plate of stir-fried greens on the table.

So he asked, "Can you finish making so much food this morning?"

Xiao Zhan swallowed a large steamed bun in one gulp, then drank a bowl of millet porridge in one go, before smacking his lips and saying, "Of course I can finish it. I was so hungry last night that my stomach was practically sticking to my back. I need to eat and drink my fill to recover my strength."

Qin Huanhuan felt her face burning hot as she listened. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhan and said, "Can you stop talking about that kind of thing all the time? You're like a wild beast."

Xiao Zhan smiled, picked up a large steamed bun, placed it on the plate in front of Qin Huanhuan, and chuckled, saying, "Sorry, I told the truth again."

"Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Qin Huanhuan's expression immediately tensed up.

Because she remembered what that jerk had told her about getting a marriage certificate last night, and she wondered if getting one now was too fast.

Qin Huanhuan really hasn't decided yet.

She always felt that her relationship with Xiao Zhan wasn't a romance, but a transaction. She used her body, and Xiao Zhan used money. It wasn't love, and in fact, that was exactly what it was.

Qin Huanhuan asked hesitantly, "What is it? Tell me?"

Xiao Zhan: "I'm going on a long trip tonight, and I haven't been able to say exactly when I'll be back yet."

"Phew~~".

Qin Huanhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't about getting a marriage certificate. She asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Zhan: "Go to Syria and Iraq."

Qin Huanhuan: "Does the Xiao family have international business?"

Xiao Zhan: "It's not a business matter; I'm helping a friend by accompanying him on an errand."

Qin Huanhuan: "Is it dangerous? The news says that Syria and Iraq are in chaos, and it seems there's still internal strife."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "It's precisely because things are chaotic there now that they need someone like me to accompany them."

Qin Huanhuan realized that Xiao Zhan was working as someone else's bodyguard.

Xiao Zhan then took out a black bank card and placed it in front of Qin Huanhuan, saying, "Take this card. Buy whatever you want. Women shouldn't mistreat themselves and should treat themselves better. Oh, by the way, I called Dean Jia. Ai'ai is recovering well and will be discharged in another half month. I'll be back then, and we'll go pick her up from the hospital together."

Qin Huanhuan nodded.

But her eyes were fixed on the black bank card.

She recognized it as a limited edition Supreme Black Gold Card from a bank.

I've heard that people who hold this kind of bank card must have a net worth of over a billion to qualify, and their status and position must match.

Qin Huanhuan pushed the bank card back to Xiao Zhan and said softly, "I don't want your card. Ai Ai's illness is cured, and I don't have much money to spend. I've been promoted to supervisor now, so I can support my mom and sister."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "You should keep it, just in case you need it. Actually, you don't have to go to work."

Qin Huanhuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then her expression changed and she said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Are you planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?"

Xiao Zhan quickly said, "I didn't mean that. I just didn't want you to be too tired. You're my woman, of course I care about you."

Qin Huanhuan saw the seriousness in Xiao Zhan's eyes and said, "I understand how you feel. I agreed to stay with you for a year because I owed you money, but working with me to support yourself is a different matter."

"I don't want to gain something for nothing, nor do I want to be a man's appendage, and I certainly don't want to be anyone's canary."

"If you love me, please respect my choice."

Xiao Zhan: "Huanhuan, you've really misunderstood me. I just feel sorry for you. I just wanted to express my care and love for you. I think since we've agreed to be together, I should treat you well. Isn't the point of a man earning money to spend on a woman?"

"I'll take care of earning money to support the family, and you can take care of being beautiful, isn't that better?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "Let's talk about that after we get married and register our marriage. Right now, I just want to support myself and earn money through my own abilities."

"I am now valued by my boss and responsible for new projects, and my salary and benefits have increased significantly."

"Ding-dong!"

The elevator doors opened at that moment.

Xiao Zhan and Qin Huanhuan looked up at the same time...

Xiao Zhan lived in a large, single-level apartment on the top floor, so the people who came were naturally looking for Xiao Zhan.

Then Xia Keke and Shen Jun walked out of the elevator.

Xia Keke entered the room and saw the two of them having breakfast.

He immediately laughed and said, "Better late than never. I've been busy all night and my stomach is growling with hunger."

Qin Huanhuan stood up and said, "Sister Keke, please sit down and eat your breakfast. I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks."

Xia Keke sat down without ceremony and said, "Huanhuan is still the best to me, unlike someone who doesn't dare to speak."

Xiao Zhan smiled and looked at Shen Jun, asking, "Arrange for two of your brothers to stay with Huanhuan and be responsible for her safety."

Shen Jun thought for a moment and said, "President Xiao, I'll arrange for Zhang Jie and Wu Lei to protect Miss Qin. Is that alright with you?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Okay, you can have Zhang Jie and Wu Lei protect us from the shadows. Don't show yourselves unless it's absolutely necessary."

Shen Jun: "It's President Xiao!"

"Furthermore, as you instructed, I selected three brothers to travel with us tonight. They will be on the same flight as us, but they will operate in the shadows."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Tell them that this time there is danger and no logistical support, so they must be very careful and stay in touch with us at all times."

Shen Jun: "I've explained the situation to the three of them. It's just that the weapons are difficult to carry, so we'll have to figure out how to get them once we get there."

Xiao Zhan pointed at Xia Keke and said, "I called her here to help solve the problems of weapons, equipment, and supplies."

Xia Keke: "I have reported to my superiors that the national security personnel there will contact you and provide you with the necessary support. However, since you are in a foreign country and their status is special, I hope you can understand."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Just help us with the weapons and equipment; we'll handle the rest ourselves."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan brought over bowls and chopsticks and said, "Captain Shen, please sit down and have breakfast with us."

Shen Jun: "Thank you, Miss Qin, I've already eaten."
