Nan Xiao was too frightened to reply. He could only report to He Jingyan who was inside the room, “Colonel, Yangyi’s…”
“Bring her in!” Before Nan Xiao could finish his sentence, He Jingyan gave the order, as if he knew Xu Nuannuan would come to him.
“Yes.”
Although Nan Xiao was surprised, he silently opened the door for Xu Nuannuan.
As Xu Nuannuan entered the room, she gave Nan Xiao a cold glance.
Nan Xiao held his breath under her imposing pressure.
Ji Guangming didn’t follow her inside. He saw all this and knew why Xu Nuannuan treated Nan Xiao like that, but he chose to remain silent.
After she entered the room, Xu Nuannuan first glanced at Yan Chengyu, who was sitting on the sofa, before looking at He Jingyan.
She sat down with an impassive look and said, “Tomorrow I’m going back to Country T with Gong Cheng. I will send some people to secretly protect Yangyi, whether you like it or not.”
She didn’t give He Jingyan the chance to say no.
At first, He Jingyan frowned discontentedly, but he didn’t object as he knew that Xu Nuannuan did this for Xu Yangyi’s sake. “I will contact Gong Cheng for the meeting time. You’d better not show up here if you have nothing to do. I don’t want us to get in unnecessary trouble.”
He Jingyan was not a pushover. Since Xu Nuannuan didn’t respect him, he didn’t have to be polite with her.
“It’s fine that you send your people to protect Yangyi secretly, but don’t get caught. Be neat when you do it. I don’t know what will happen then.”
‘If Country Z finds that we have secret guards when we set foot in their land, they might complain about it. It won’t be easy for me to explain. My identity is special, and they could accuse me anytime of having ill intention towards them with the excuse of supporting them.’
“Don’t worry. My people are all top-notch experts. Their trace will not be seen.”
Of course, Xu Nuannuan understood He Jingyan’s position, so she had settled it properly.
Suddenly, her eyes darkened, and she looked up at He Jingyan. “What will you do if the royal family asks you to hand over Yangyi?”
Xu Nuannuan asked with a grave look. Perhaps this was why she came here.
He Jingyan was amused. Xu Nuannuan was here to test him.
“Why should I hand my wife to someone else?”
‘That’s why she suddenly comes here.’
‘It looks like my ability is being doubted. It’s absurd.’
“If you come here to test me, I can tell you clearly that I won’t give in even if the Xu family wants Yangyi back, let alone Country T. Don’t waste time on playing tricks with me. Think about how to protect Yangyi from assaults when you are back in Country T.”
He Jingyan said firmly, not allowing Xu Nuannuan to look down on him.
Xu Nuannuan paused. This was the first time she had seen He Jingyan speak so aggressively.
She suddenly smiled. Gong Cheng didn’t choose him for nothing. He Jingyan was really capable.
“We will take care of Country T ourselves. You just need to join us in due time.”
Xu Nuannuan didn’t stay any longer. She nodded politely and pushed the door open, leaving quickly like when she came.
Her demeanor was high and elegant, looking royal.
