Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

If he wanted to get closer to her, he had to start with how they addressed each other. Qin Xiu started chatting familiarly, ”We shared hardships and sadness the previous time. Ye Jian, I thought we were already acquaintances.”

V8, who was in the passenger seat, heard this and flicked his fingers very lightly on his knees.

School? Back to the frontier? Could it be the same time as when the avalanche rescue took place?

He had guessed right. Azure Bird and the ambassador did know each other, and they had known each other for a long time. They had been friends for years.

The expressionless V8 looked at the two people sitting behind with a seat between them through the rearview mirror. He specially looked at Ye Jian before looking away.

Although the two people behind were familiar with each other, the ambassador wasn’t as familiar with Azure Bird as they were.

Ye Jian, who was sighing in her heart, didn’t notice V8 sizing her up. A diplomat was a diplomat. One could not refuse his requests.

”That’s true. Although we haven’t seen each other much after knowing each other for a few years, we’re not strangers anymore. In that case, I won’t bother with formalities. Qin Xiu, if I make any mistake, please correct me in time.” Ye Jian called out ’Qin Xiu’ and noticed that the face of the young diplomat sitting beside her seemed to have been carefully sculpted.

There was no flaw on his handsome face when he smiled elegantly.

”Although we’ve only met a few times, in my impression, you’ve always been reliable and don’t need anyone’s guidance.” Qin Xiu’s smile was very faint, but it was very penetrating. One could see the spring breeze and the sharpness of an arrow on his features. This was the temperament of a diplomat.

When interacting with friendly countries, he would appear like a spring breeze. When fighting with other countries, he would be as fierce as an arrow.

Looking at his elegant smile, Ye Jian recalled a sentence she had heard two girls say in a hotel in her previous life. ’Heartthrob’ could be used to describe Qin Xiu.

”It’s better to call me by my name. ’Ambassador’ sounds distant.” After Qin Xiu finished speaking, he took out his phone from his pocket and looked at Ye Jian. ”Sorry, I have to take this call.”

It was a call from home.

Ye Jian heard him call out ’Mom’ and took the initiative to widen the distance between them. She sat close to the car door.

Looking at the passenger seat, Ye Jian gestured at the V8 through the gap between the seat and the door. It meant that they could fight together again.

Ye Jian, who could not open her mouth to speak, smiled faintly. Her fingers tapped lightly on the side of the car door three times, just loud enough for V8 to hear.

There was no verbal exchange. It was only a gesture but it completed a brief exchange.

”Yes, I have something urgent to attend to and need to go on a business trip for a few days. It’s not a big deal. I’m not sure when I’ll be back. I’m participating in a ’summit’.” Qin Xiu, who noticed Ye Jian’s small actions, placed his phone by his left ear and responded. There was a faint but gentle smile on his lips as he answered Madam Qin patiently.

Madam Qin, who had just woken up, learned from the butler that her son had gone out before dawn. Although something similar had happened before, she thought of the appointment today and called to ask.

After knowing that Qin Xiu would be on a business trip for a few days and hadn’t even set a time to return, Mrs. Qin had no choice but to say helplessly, ”You’re too busy. You’ve only been back for a few days and haven’t even spent much time with your family. I’ll call your leader another day and ask him to arrange less work for you.”
