Chapter 429: 415 A drone rising slowly with the sunrise (6000 words)_3

"...Okay."

"That Qing Luo, seems to know you’re here."

"What?"

Song Lili was surprised.

"Pity the image was destroyed, otherwise I could have shown you a very interesting expression."

Wen Nian said jokingly, and Song Lili couldn’t tell how much seriousness and sincerity there was in his words.

"How was your relationship with him in school?"

"To be honest, he always kept to himself, but during the selection for military officer candidates, we did help each other out, and after that, we only interacted during team collaboration tasks."

"So... your relationship was quite ordinary? Did you ever offend him in any way?"

Wen Nian teasingly asked.

Song Lili shook her head,

"I don’t remember."

It wasn’t that there weren’t any; she just couldn’t remember.

Wen Nian let out a soft sigh.

"What’s wrong?"

"I think by his expression, he sees you as an enemy."

"..."

After hearing this, Song Lili wasn’t surprised; instead, she agreed,

"I’ve always felt that Qing Luo might seem harmless on the surface, but deep down, he rejects everyone."

After saying this, she shrugged,

"It doesn’t matter now. If he really knows I’m here, there’s no escaping it. Might as well see whether my life is more important to him, or protecting his stationed territory."

Wen Nian smiled, and after hearing Song Lili’s words, he felt more at ease.

"However, it’s fine if he knows I’m here, but no matter what, we can’t let him know you’re here."

"..."

Song Lili said to Wen Nian earnestly,

"These rebels will resort to any lengths these days. They want to escalate the war, want to upset the current world order. If you’re captured on their turf..."

"Alright, alright, I know, I know."

Wen Nian quickly turned her head, which had swiveled back towards him,

"Look, the sun is about to rise."

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps from behind them followed, then Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer sat beside them,

"Watching the sunrise without us."

Zhongli Wuzhi sat down next to Wen Nian and gave him a disdainful look.

Wen Nian chuckled lightly,

"Who knew if you were busy with something important? Interrupting recklessly, just in case it spoiled Young Master Zhongli’s mood..."

"Mr. President, you and Zhongli really are friends. You’re so irreverent..."

"Lu Xiaoer, you’ve helped Lili run away from me time and again. I’ve noted it all in my heart, and I haven’t had the time to settle accounts with you."

"Mr. President, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Xiaoer was not frightened by Wen Nian’s threats, and with a tilt of her head, she said, "Is it my fault that you can’t keep Xiao Li yourself?"

Song Lili nudged Wen Nian with her elbow.

Wen Nian pursed his lips, speaking lightly,

"Miss Lu, now that you’re back in the country, make sure not to stir up trouble again. Your father stormed into my office, seeking permission to come to M country to rescue you personally."

"..."

Lu Xiaoer was momentarily stunned.

Her expression a bit blank.

"Miss Lu, you may have a heart of a Bodhisattva, but no matter how many lives you have, they’re not enough for you to squander like this."

Wen Nian somewhat held a grudge against Lu Xiaoer.

After all, Lili’s undeserved disaster originated from Lu Xiaoer’s misfortune in M country.

"Father... he..."

"He’s waiting for you to come home."

Wen Nian’s words truly struck a chord with Lu Xiaoer.

Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at Lu Xiaoer and patted her back, "Alright, we’ll be able to go back soon."

"...Okay."

"After we go back, have a good talk with Uncle Lu. What hurdle is there between father and daughter that can’t be overcome?"

Listening to Zhongli Wuzhi’s comforting words as if an expert,

Wen Nian just shook his head.

Song Lili, puzzled, asked Wen Nian in a low voice, "What are you shaking your head for?"

She thought what Zhongli Wuzhi said was quite right.

Wen Nian leaned in close to Song Lili’s ear and whispered,

"Zhongli himself has troubled relations with his parents, yet he comforts Lu Xiaoer like this. He’d really do anything to win over Lu Xiaoer."

"Pfft... Hahaha!"

Song Lili couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Zhongli Wuzhi was right next to Wen Nian and, even though Wen Nian had spoken softly, he still heard his words and glared at him.

Wen Nian just kept on smiling.

The four sat side by side on the mountaintop, where there was no president, no daughter of the mayor, none from the five prestigious Anlin families...

Just four young men and women of similar ages.

Each with their own temperament, each with their own deep feelings.

A vast expanse of fire-like clouds began to spread from the east, the sky tinged with the light of dawn.

And the newly risen sun, faintly shining with rainbow colors, was stunningly beautiful.

As the great expanse of clouds set the stage, a tiny shadow peeked out from the deep layers of clouds and the stacked mountain peaks, revealing the sun’s face.
