Chapter 1254: I'm Not That Petty

Fu Yan Cheng thought of the things he was carrying, quickly handed them over, and said, "These are the belongings I packed for you at home; you won't need to make another trip."

It turned out this fellow had been waiting here all along to deliver the luggage: "Thank you."

Fu Yan Cheng saw her being polite with him: "Are you angry?"

Liu Chuxue thought they would be departing soon and didn't want to distract him: "I'm not that petty."

Since she wouldn't have to make another trip herself, it saved her trouble. Seeing someone approaching, she said, "Then go attend to your duties. I'll go inside and organize the things; once I've packed them, we can leave."

Fu Yan Cheng knew he had a mission and that it was inappropriate to go inside. Thinking of his wife being pregnant, he said, "Just finish organizing them. I'll come over later to help you carry the luggage."

Liu Chuxue saw someone approaching, nodded at him, and said, "Alright, I understand."

She had originally brought only a set of clothes for appearances; the rest were stored in her space, so she finished packing very quickly.

Stepping out, she ran into Anna, who was preparing to have breakfast: "Miss Xiao, thank you for agreeing to accompany me south. It's been hard work."

She smiled and looked at her belly: "Rest assured, I have already communicated with the relevant parties. The itinerary won't tire you out. Having you accompany me is something I truly look forward to."

Her main mission in China this time had already been completed; the upcoming itinerary was merely icing on the cake, purely a personal interest. Therefore, she had already negotiated with the reception staff, requesting that the schedule not be too full, focusing on a relaxed pace.

Liu Chuxue's eyes and brows were full of smiles. It wasn't just because of the political mission, but because this girl Anna was truly considerate. Of course, she also wanted Chinese culture to go global: "You will see Eastern aesthetics in the luster of silk, and understand millennia of perseverance from the glaze colors of porcelain. I believe you will find this trip well worth the journey."

As the two walked together toward the restaurant, they chatted very happily. Anna didn't expect that the young lady before her could speak so knowledgeably about Chinese culture, and even when discussing Western culture, she could make Anna's eyes light up.

In charge of security this time, besides Captain Fu Yan Cheng, were two other team members.

When Liu Chuxue previously went to the family compound, these two were on a mission, so they did not know Liu Chuxue.

For the sake of secrecy, Fu Yan Cheng did not introduce Liu Chuxue's identity.

Before departure, seeing Fu Yan Cheng carrying a large suitcase, the two were somewhat puzzled: "Whose luggage is our regiment commander carrying?"

This time, there were three translators in the group. Her task was to serve Miss Anna well, so she had always been by Miss Anna's side. When they arrived at the train station, the group was arranged to use a special passage.

After boarding, Liu Chuxue and Anna were assigned to a compartment. Fu Yan Cheng stood guard outside the entire time, which made Liu Chuxue feel very reassured.

Several times, she took the opportunity to come out and secretly slip him small snacks, making it feel like a secret affair, which was quite thrilling.

Their first stop was Suzhou.

After resting for one night, the next morning after breakfast, professional staff arrived to receive them: "Distinguished guests, the next place everyone will visit is the Silk Workshop, which carries a thousand years of Chinese culture. This will allow everyone to intuitively understand the silk production process and exquisite finished products."

After entering, not only the delegation but even those among them visiting the Silk Workshop for the first time were greatly shocked. Amidst the "clank, clank" sounds of the looms, the fingers of the old weavers shuttled back and forth between the silk threads. A bolt of plain Hangzhou satin slowly unfolded in the warp and weft, as if it had come alive.

The reception staff pulled on the patterns on the loom and introduced: "This 'Lotus Entwined Around a Tree' symbolizes endless life and growth. That 'Mandarin Duck' pair, in our legends, is a symbol of staying together for a lifetime."

The members of the delegation were deeply attracted by this scene and frequently uttered praises.
