Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Lady White showed the most patient side of herself. “Quite high. If Major is interested and if you remove your military uniform, you can also come and take the test.”

“I decline your invitation. The method of selection which is the big escape does not suit a man who’s kind-hearted and gentle like me.”

Lady White said, “Yes, we are too cruel. Thank you for your suggestion. We will definitely improve ourselves in the future.”

Mu Yuan thought in his heart, This lady is a talent.

She could remain calm in the face of events. Technical staff were generally geeks. They hardly went outdoors, and when they had time, they would spend it watching anime. They were the kind that was geeky and girlish. At least, the ones that he had seen were like that.

This technical staff sister remained calm in the face of events. She was a talented field commander!

Jack shouted from not far away. “Xiaoyuan, come here!”

Mu Yuan turned back. “I know.”

He smiled as he said goodbye to Lady White and walked towards Jack.

Jack tugged at his sleeve. He used his fingers to brush away the sand in his hair. “What were you talking to her? You talked for so long.”

“We were chatting idly,” Mu Yuan said. “Our team is leaving immediately. When are you leaving?”

“Soon.” He looked at the sky. After the sun had set, it was still grayish. He had not decided when he was leaving. He wanted to wait until Mu Yuan left. “How about you?”

Mu Yuan said, “I’ll wait for Ah Ling’s decision.”

The small town in the evening was very quiet. There were no children. Perhaps, the residents knew that the small town was not so safe tonight. Hence, they did not really move around outside. Everything was so quiet.

Jack said, “I… cannot bear to leave.”

Mu Yuan said, “Then follow me and return back to the country.”

“As family?”

“Aren’t you afraid of your Daddy breaking your legs? It’s fine with me.”

Jack smiled and hooked the tip of his nose. “I want to make a trip back to Washington. I have to get hold of the specific content for this negotiation. In this way, I can make a judgment as to exactly whether it is worth it to continue with it.”

“Alright. It’s really a pity that you cannot follow me and return back to the country.”

“Yes. It’s such a pity.”

Jack said calmly, “What about you? After you go back and finish your report, want to make a trip to America?”

“I am a serving officer. It is not convenient for me to leave the country,” Mu Yuan said.

Jack said, “I’ll miss you.”

“Are you acting coquettishly?”

No, this is a statement of fact.”

Mu Yuan said, “After I finish my report, if there’s nothing much, I’ll go and look for you.”

Jack raised his fist. “It’s a deal!”

Mu Yuan’s fist touched his. “Alright. It’s a deal!”

…

Shen Qianshu and Ye Ling walked back from the desert. Lady White smiled as she looked at them. Ye Ling said, “We’ll go with you. Is it our decision to choose who the gatekeeper is or is it still for you all to select?”

Lady White was startled. She did not seem to have thought of this problem.

“You all want to skip the second round?”

“Since Xue Er can forfeit, we can also naturally forfeit.”

Lady White said, “Alright, I know. The result of your discussion is?”

Shen Qianshu said, “We’ll take turns. Whoever is free will go. After all, we have a child. There has to be someone looking after our child and sending our child to school, right?”

“… ” Lady White was astonished.

“Alright!”

This was very gangsterish.

Mu Yuan was informed of Ye Ling’s decision, and he was not surprised. His small team’s task was considered to be completed perfectly, and they also could not stay in another country for too long. They had to leave that night. Jack and Mu Yuan left together and parted ways at the airport.

Ye Ling and Shen Qianshu followed Lady White and left.

Before boarding the plane, Ye Ling made a call to Zhong Ran. “Return back to the country. After I finish handling some matters, I’ll go back and look for you all immediately.”
