Chapter 11 Aren't You Going to Take Action?_1

At first, there certainly was discontent.

But it disappeared like smoke in the air after the identity of Qiao An was uncovered.

Mu Jingxi looked down, "No."

"Is it really no, or do you harbor grievances?" Zhou Mutian picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

Honestly, he did not approve of his marriage to Ji Qingxin.

As things stand, his preferred choice was still Qiao An, who would surely serve S Country with all her heart if she could become the daughter-in-law of S Country.

And between him and Qiao An...

Zhou Mutian's eyes grew a few shades deeper in understanding.

"Obeying orders is my duty. This is the task you have assigned me, and for me, it is an honor."

After a pause, Mu Jingxi added, "Except there is one thing I can't understand."

"Which is?"

"Why have Qiao An live in the Main Building?"

Zhou Mutian put down his teacup and tapped lightly with one hand, "After some time, Qiao An will go to the base to work. In her off-time, I must ensure that her living environment is sufficiently safe. Jingxi, do you think there is any place, other than Han Palace and the Presidential Residence, whose security measures can rival the Mu Family's?"

Mu Jingxi had nothing to say in response.

Zhou Mutian stood up, walked over to Mu Jingxi, and patted him on the shoulder, "Jingxi, fulfilling all of Qiao An's requests is your mission. This is not for Qiao An, but for the entirety of S Country."

"I understand, Uncle," he replied.

The secretary was walking Qiao An in the garden, acting as her guide and commentator.

Even Qiao An, who was not particularly fond of these flowers and plants, was stunned by the sights in the garden.

On the corridor, Song Yunchi halted his steps, turning his gaze towards Qiao An not far away.

"Director, what is it?" his subordinate asked, puzzled.

Song Yunchi's eyes deepened, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Isn't that Miss Qiao?"

The subordinate turned to look, then smiled, "Director, that is indeed Miss Qiao!"

"Let's go and say hello."

Song Yunchi took the lead in stepping away, and his subordinate had no choice but to follow.

"Flowers suit a beautiful lady like you, Miss Qiao. If you like, I can have someone pick a fresh bouquet and send it to the Main Building later, would that be alright?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao An turned to face the newcomer.

Dressed in a black suit, the buttons of his shirt were meticulously fastened to the very top, and an attractive face was adorned with charming, almond-shaped eyes.

"Who are you?"

Song Yunchi extended his hand, "I'm Song Yunchi. Miss Qiao, your return to S Country is part of one of our department's covert operations."

"CIA's Operations Department?"

Song Yunchi nodded with a smile, "Miss Qiao is indeed intelligent."

"That's too kind." Qiao An extended her hand to shake his.

Song Yunchi's lips held a meaningful smile as he leaned in slightly, "That guy Jingxi must be particularly stiff and boring, right?"

Qiao An's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmm?"

"I heard Miss Qiao took the initiative to stay at the Mu Family's place."

"That did happen." Qiao An openly admitted, it seemed that Song Yunchi knew Mu Jingxi.

For a moment, she wasn't sure whether he was friend or foe.

Song Yunchi's lips curved slightly, "He has a fiancée already, does Miss Qiao know that?"

"Hmm?" Qiao An blinked in confusion, "I can't hear you."

Song Yunchi leaned in closer, his handsome face nearing hers, "Jingxi already has a fiancée, does Miss Qiao know that?"

Of course, she knew!

Qiao An's beautiful eyes flashed, "Aren't you making a move yet?"

A hint of confusion passed through Song Yunchi's eyes. In the next second, he felt his shoulder being grabbed, and his body was forcibly flung aside.

"Damn!"

Song Yunchi stumbled, nearly falling in a disgraceful heap, but managed just in time to steady himself.
