As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. It was the hotel that had brought dinner.
Time is neither too fast nor too slow, just the right amount of time.
Gu Ci brought the dinner in. It was a very sumptuous meal, and it was cooked to the taste of Country H according to Cheng Lu's preferences. It was a miracle to find such delicious food in a hotel in a foreign country.
However, it seems that there is nothing this man cannot do.
He could secretly follow her abroad and sneak into the diplomatic corps without anyone noticing.
This shows how powerful this man is.
She picked up a bowl of porridge: "Thank you, have you eaten?"
"I'm with you."
Hearing this, Cheng Lu paused: "You can't stay here, right? This is a hotel arranged by the diplomatic corps. You should go to your own place."
"Wouldn't it be better if I wanted to stay with you?"
His eyes were a little pitiful, like a little puppy praying not to be abandoned.
She felt a little soft-hearted for a moment and hurriedly lowered her head to prevent herself from looking into his eyes.
"Have you found the real culprit who kidnapped my sister last time?"
"We are already investigating, and there are some clues. None of the people we found are the masterminds. They obviously followed orders. As for who the person behind it is, we don't know yet."
Surprisingly, we can still find people and clues.
Cheng Lu was secretly frightened. She thought that because the other party was so secretive and so courageous, he must have a perfect plan of his own.
What's more, she had already melted the explosives in order to save Li Xiumeng.
A lot of clues are lost.
She lowered her eyelids: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Why are you so polite to me?" He was a little unhappy.
She quietly finished her last mouthful of porridge: "Gu Ci, as you know, we are divorced."
She raised her clear eyes and mustered up the courage to meet his gaze: "No matter what the purpose was for me to separate from you in the first place, the separation is now a fact. Gu Ci, you and I are strangers."
She didn't know that these words were like a sharp dagger, piercing into his heart all of a sudden.
He narrowed his eyes: "Stranger?"
"Yes." She forced herself to calm down, "Gu Ci, I know you want to protect me, and I know your feelings for me. But I can't and don't want to see you get hurt. If they are coming for me, you are here
There will only be more danger around me. Do you know that if I had reacted just one second slower last time, you would not have died talking to me here!"
Yes, if it weren't for that critical moment, she would subconsciously exert all her strength to protect him.
How could he survive?
We made it this time, but what if we can't make it next time?
Will she have to face losing him alone?
It was too cruel, she didn't even dare to think about it.
Tears welled up and she gasped slightly: "Gu Ci, we are not destined, so let's stay here."
The man clenched his hands into fists and veins popped out on his arms.
He breathed heavily and said nothing.
In his ears was her gentle cry, which was depressing, sad, and extremely wronged.
He closed his eyes: "I...get it."
After watching her finish the meal, he stood up and left without saying anything.
When he reached the door, he glanced gently and said: "Good night."
"Good night." Her voice was trembling.
The door closed and his footsteps gradually moved away until they could no longer be heard.
Suddenly, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and chased out.
The corridor was empty, there was no one, Gu Ci had really left.
Her vision was blurry, and she quickly closed the door like a deserter, burying all the cries in her heart. She drove him away after all! Isn't this what she thought from the beginning? Why is she still so sad?
That night, she was half asleep and half awake, alternating between being awake and crying.
Until three o'clock in the morning, when she got up and packed up, Xiao Zhong came.
"Your potion is quite useful. The head of country K is very satisfied. He will meet you alone after today's work. The royal family of country K also wants to see you." Xiao Zhong was also surprised. She didn't expect that the royal family would notice her.
Cheng Lu was in a heavy mood. In fact, it made no difference to her whether she saw anyone or not.
She nodded lightly: "Okay."
Xiao Zhong couldn't help but look at her twice.
Ordinary people would have been extremely happy upon hearing this good news, but she was so calm!
"Ahem, are you tired? Don't worry, after this mission is over, you will be rewarded when you return home."
Cheng Lu twitched his lips: "Well, the situation of the head of state is very complicated. I just need to rest for two days."
That night, a car stopped in front of the hotel and picked up Cheng Lu.
This is a royal garden with a beautiful and secluded environment that is inaccessible to ordinary people.
Open-air banquets always have a somewhat romantic atmosphere, even if it is just a small banquet with a total of six people participating.
Cheng Lu was taken by Xiao Zhong, and there was an accompanying person.
The head of country K and the queen of country K came across from them, and there was another high-ranking official beside them whom Cheng Lu had never seen before.
Because Cheng Lu's foreign language proficiency was extremely high, they didn't even need an interpreter at their banquet.
After some joking, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed.
The Queen is already old and seems to like young women like Cheng Lu very much.
"I'm so happy to see you doing so well." The Queen wiped her eyes, "Without you, we really don't know what we would do."
"This is the duty of a doctor. Besides, our two countries are on good terms and our friends are in trouble. How can we just sit idly by and ignore it?"
She smiled softly, and the breeze gently blew through her soft long hair. At this moment, Cheng Lu looked like the goddess of moonlight, stunning everyone present.
Her beauty is not so aggressive, but more gentle and charming like water.
The unique oriental beauty is vividly displayed on her body.
Xiao Zhong originally thought that she, a young woman who had never encountered anything, would be in a hurry on such an occasion, but she didn't expect that she would perform better than him, being at ease, polite and generous without being overly enthusiastic to please.
The Queen smiled and said: "We have no better gift to express our gratitude to you. The head of state discussed it with me and we want to grant you the title of Duke."
Cheng Lu thought for a moment that there was something wrong with her ears or that her foreign language proficiency was not good enough. She had misheard.
"What?"
"You heard it right, it is the title of Duke." The Queen smiled, "We know that you are not short of money, no matter how much wealth you give, it is better to give something real. We have medicinal plants that are special products in country K. If you have the title of Duke,
From now on, there will be unimpeded access, and you have the right to take any rare medicinal plants first."
The Queen has silver hair, but at this moment she blinks like a child.
"Don't worry, it's free."
Cheng Lu was stunned.
This is like giving her a special pass.
If I remember correctly, the title of Duke of Country K can be used in many neighboring countries.
In other words...she has obtained the privilege of being the first choice for medicinal plants in so many countries!
