Qin Xiu, who had gotten into the car, was on the phone with Madam Qin. When he found out that she had even arranged for Du Jiayi to be his female companion, the gentle Qin Xiu's expression became terrifyingly dark.

"I won't go to Staff Officer Du's house to fetch Miss Du, nor will I let her be my female companion. After I finish my work, I'll go to Dangui Garden to fetch my grandparents first. I'll accompany my grandparents the entire time tonight.

"Mom, although Grandpa and Grandma aren't in charge now, if you go overboard and Grandpa and Grandma are forced to step in, where will you put your face?"

He was a little impolite, making Madam Qin's heart ache.

The older her good son got, the more he dared to talk back to her. Now, he even mentioned the old master and the old madam!

"If you had brought me a girlfriend from a clean family background, I wouldn't have to worry so much about you!" Madam Qin, who was rubbing her chest, was also furious. She threw a comb in front of the dressing table, making it snap into two. "You're not impressed with all these women. Do you never want to get married?!

"Your grandparents don't care about anything now because their responsibilities have been fulfilled. Their children have already started families!

"As for you, I have the responsibility to make arrangements for you. When you get married and have children, my responsibility will be fulfilled too."

Every time they talked about this topic, Qin Xiu felt resigned.

He was able to deal with other countries' difficulties with ease, but every time he faced his mother's questioning, he felt helpless.

"You can remove this unnecessary responsibility. I'll make my own choices. Mom, you said that you're tired, but I'm tired too.

"It's your birthday today, and I don't want to make you angry. I'll hang up first. See you tonight."

Qin Xiu, who put away his cell phone, couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. Every time he called Madam Qin, he would feel so tired that he felt like he had worked for a few days and nights.

"Ambassador, we're being followed," the driver suddenly said. "It started not long ago."

Qin Xiu immediately restrained his expression and turned his head to look behind him. When he saw the cars and the license plates, the fatigue on his body disappeared. He smiled at the chauffeur and said, "They're friends. Pull over."

The two cars stopped. Li Jinnian and Qin Xiu got out of their respective cars one after another.

"Thank you for just now." Li Jinnian got out of the car and thanked him. "You saw Ye Jian just now, right? I'm sorry, but it's inconvenient for Ye Jian to get out of the car right now. Please forgive me."

As expected, it was inconvenient for others to see her.

Qin Xiu smiled. "If she can't get out of the car, I'll go over and greet her. How about that?"

Must he… go and greet her?

Li Jinnian couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Why did he feel that something was amiss?

Puzzled, Li Jinnian nodded and brought Qin Xiu back to his car.

Ye Jian, who was sitting in the car, was a little surprised to see the two of them walking over. Why did they bring Qin Xiu over?

After the two of them walked over, Ye Jian rolled down the car window. Qin Xiu walked over and saw the woman he liked wearing a military uniform. She was sitting in the car and looking at him with bright eyes.

"Long time no see, Ye Jian." He stood outside the car and had no intention of getting in. He just smiled and spoke to her. "I was a little surprised to see you just now. I didn't expect to see you in the military."

Ye Jian smiled and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you in the military either."

"I almost got you into trouble just now, huh?" After not seeing her for so long, Qin Xiu actually wanted to chat with her for a while more. However, he knew that the two men were already surprised that he insisted on walking over to greet Ye Jian. It wouldn't be good if he continued chatting with her.

"I'm sorry. I was rash just now. I have to apologize to you."
