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

"Wow, these vegetable buns smell delicious, the cold black fungus and cucumber salad is really tasty, and the millet porridge is cooked to perfection. This cooking skill is on par with a Michelin-starred chef."

Following the principle of "he who eats another's food is bound to him," Xia Keke showered him with praise.

"Huanhuan, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. Looks like someone is in for a treat."

Xia Keke glanced at Xiao Zhan but praised him to Qin Huanhuan.

Qin Huanhuan blushed slightly as she glanced at Xiao Zhan, then said with an embarrassed expression, "Sister Keke, Xiao Zhan made breakfast, not me."

Xia Keke glanced at Xiao Zhan, who was engrossed in eating, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hehe, I praised the wrong person. But it's okay, either of you two cooks well. Anyway, I'm in luck. But I'm quite surprised that Mr. Xiao can cook."

"Hehe, Huanhuan, I hope you'll be happy from now on."

People say that men who can cook are the most handsome.

Xiao Zhan looked up and said, "Director Xia, you can come anytime you want to eat. Don't be so mushy, I'm getting goosebumps. Here, have another big vegetable bun."

"Hahaha…."

All four of them burst into laughter, and the awkwardness vanished instantly.

Xiao Zhan looked at Qin Huanhuan and said, "Huanhuan, I'll have Shen Jun arrange two brothers to protect you."

Qin Huanhuan quickly shook her head and said, "I don't need bodyguards. What would it look like if I had two bodyguards with me every day at work?"

Xiao Zhan continued, "They're only protecting you secretly. No one else knows you have bodyguards. You just need to be aware of that. I don't want what happened last night to happen again. Besides, I'll be away for a few days and won't be able to protect you. I'm worried about that."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan could personally feel Xiao Zhan's deep love for her.

If the bodyguard only follows and protects you secretly and doesn't interfere with your work, there seems to be no problem.

Talking about anything else would just make me seem pretentious.

So Qin Huanhuan readily agreed, "Okay then."

Qin Huanhuan looked up at the clock on the wall; it was already eight o'clock.

So she stood up and said, "Coco, please eat slowly, I have to go to work."

Xia Keke: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Xiao Zhan said, "Let the driver take you there."

Qin Huanhuan quickly shook her head and said, "No need, no need, taking the subway is very convenient for me."

Xiao Zhan: "Alright then."

Qin Huanhuan returned to her bedroom and opened the wardrobe, only to find several more beautiful outfits inside: business attire, casual wear, and evening gowns, all designer brands, and judging by the sizes, they were clothes prepared for her.

It seems Xiao Zhan bought her clothes again.

That's just how meticulous men are.

While changing her clothes, Qin Huanhuan was lost in her own happy thoughts.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, a message came in. Seeing that it was from Hua Ying, Qin Huanhuan immediately opened the chat window.

Hua Ying wrote: "How was Princess Huanhuan's battle with your dear Young Master Xiao last night, lasting three hundred rounds? What was the outcome?"

"If you lose, you'll really embarrass us sisters. After all, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are over-plowed."

Qin Huanhuan blushed slightly and muttered to herself, "You brat, making fun of me first thing in the morning."

Qin Huanhuan typed in rapid succession: "Aren't you ashamed to ask such a question? It's a matter of personal privacy. You've crossed the line, you brat."

Hua Ying quickly replied, "My dear sister, I was worried about you. Judging from your expression, you must have won, hehehe."

"Share your experiences with me later."

Qin Huanhuan replied, "Aren't you ashamed to say such things as a girl? You don't even have a boyfriend and you want to sleep with someone? Let me tell you, that feeling of being on cloud nine is just too good, a feeling of complete relaxation throughout your body."

Hua Ying changed the subject and said, "Huanhuan, you should know that men can be the most ruthless. When they love you, they cherish you so much, but when they don't love you anymore, they like to exploit your weaknesses and hurt you again and again."

"Someone as smart as you should know how to avoid this kind of risk."

As her best friend, Hua Ying felt it was necessary to remind Qin Huanhuan not to let happiness cloud her judgment.

Qin Huanhuan thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not afraid, because the things that can hurt me have hurt me again and again. Now I'm immune to those things."

"I'm like an unkillable cockroach."

Hua Ying: "Don't you want Xiao Shao to have you in his heart and eyes? Don't you want him to put you first? I think in true love, there should be no room for anyone else in each other's hearts. So, people are greedy."

Qin Huanhuan: "After what happened last night, I've figured it out. As long as he loves me and is by my side, that's enough."

"As for demanding that he must love me wholeheartedly and stay by my side forever, that's a matter for later."

"Because I think it's a terrifying thing for a person to have only one person in their heart, eyes, and world. I can't bear such a strong and overwhelming love from that person."

Qin Huanhuan felt that she would never, ever, risk everything for anyone.

Therefore, she didn't want all of Xiao Zhan.

If Xiao Zhan gave her everything, but she couldn't give back the same amount, she would feel guilty.

Hua Ying: "Love is selfish and exclusive."

Qin Huanhuan: "I hope that the world of the person who loves me is not singular. I hope that he can have family, friendship, love, career, and many healthy things in his life. I hope that he can also have many things in his heart, instead of just me. Okay, I have to go to work now."

Hua Ying: "Isn't your stinky man going to see you off?"

at this time,

in the living room,

While eating, Xia Keke said, "Last night's plan to scare the enemy was very successful. However, I didn't expect that Yan Wenlong had prepared several safe houses in Yanjiao, all of which are located in urban villages with complex terrain and mixed populations. It's difficult for our people to keep watch, so we can only use drones. It's okay at night, but during the day, we can't fly the drones too low for fear of being discovered. Now Zhang Guoqiang is leading a team to keep an eye on them."

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "As long as we can scare them so much that they won't dare to come out for a few days, that's fine."

"One option is to wipe them out in one fell swoop once their reinforcements arrive."

"Secondly, it will buy me a few days to get back from Syria, but you have to be prepared to act at any time."

Xia Keke nodded and said, "Intelligence shows that after receiving the location sent by Shirley, the CIA headquarters immediately dispatched a six-member elite 'Operation Eagle Claw' team to support Shirley, hoping to steal the 'Fuxi' quantum communication technology."

"Furthermore, I have found out that Yan Wenlong invited Mako Ishida to come and cooperate with him. There were three other people who infiltrated the capital with Mako Ishida, two men and one woman, but after they entered the capital, they were no longer with Mako Ishida, and we have not been able to find any trace of them."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "No matter how things change, their goal is the same: the 'Fuxi' quantum communication technology. We can wait and see."

Xia Keke's eyes flickered a few times before she asked, "Xiao Zhan, I'm very curious about who you used to make Yan Wenlong, Shirley, and Ishida Mako escape before we arrived at the Earl's."

Xiao Zhan stuffed a vegetable bun into his mouth, then stood up and said while chewing, "This is called 'each chick has its own way of urinating,' and I can't tell you yet. I've always been puzzled about what kind of existence this person is."

Xia Keke, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Do I know this person?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Director Xia, don't try to trick me. I'll tell you when the time is right."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan came out and said, "I'm going to work."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "I just happened to be going out on some errands, so I'll drop you off at the company on the way. Huanhuan, please give me a chance."

Qin Huanhuan knew perfectly well what was going on...

Xiao Zhan was not going that way at all.

His company and his own company are not in the same direction.

It's obvious they want to take me to work.

That stinky man is a little clingy.

Are all men in love like this?

Qin Huanhuan knew, of course, that if she rejected Xiao Zhan at this moment, she would not only disappoint his enthusiasm but also hurt his pride...

So she went up and took the smelly man's arm, saying, "Great, let's go then."
