Chapter 196: The Wind of the Hometown (I)

Around the capital of Azadistan, on a piece of land that was originally a wilderness, there was a construction site in full swing.

If an industry insider were to observe, they would be surprised to find that this was an airport under construction.

The scale of the airport was not large, and it might not be able to accommodate international large flights, but there was no problem in bearing short-haul flights with neighboring countries.

Yes, under the diplomatic efforts of the "Middle Eastern Saintess," Azadistan had now successfully established diplomatic relations with all neighboring countries except Zautstan.

At the same time, internationally, it had also gained recognition from several major powers and formally established diplomatic relations.

And domestically, Wang Liumei had also successfully stabilized the domestic rule, and economic development was gradually moving towards prosperity relying on oil fields.

The national capital could now be said to be a city changing with each passing day, with new buildings starting construction every day.

Economic development had also brought about an improvement in the national life. Now the people could be said to love the rule of the "Middle Eastern Saintess" from the bottom of their hearts.

Today was also a busy day, and Wang Liumei was dealing with heavy documents in the office as usual.

"Ah, why do I have to work crazily here, while you two bodyguards can drink tea leisurely over there."

Pressed by the dense documents until she couldn't breathe, Wang Liumei simply threw her fountain pen and started complaining to her two personal bodyguards.

Yes, even after ending the continuous diplomatic visits, Wang Liumei continued to hire the Xia sisters.

Because as bodyguards, the Xia sisters' abilities were undoubtedly excellent. Although the sisters were a bit poker-faced and taciturn, after getting along for a period of time, Wang Liumei could at least complete basic communication with the sisters.

"This is also something that can't be helped. After all, our job is only responsible for your personal safety."

As the older sister, Yufang drank tea with a calm face, ignoring the employer's complaints.

"Sister, the tea snacks this time are really good."

The younger sister, Yulan, didn't even have the interest to pay attention to Wang Liumei, indulging herself in the delicious tea snacks.

Eliminating the cute and delicious snacks quickly with an expressionless state, there was an inexplicable contrast.

"Hey, don't eat up all the snacks others have prepared with care."

Wang Liumei started complaining like Li Boyong.

"No, there's still one left here."

Perhaps because she had eaten someone else's food, Yulan paid attention to Wang Liumei this time, and by the way, picked up the plate so that Wang Liumei could see the last piece of snack on it.

"Forget it, I don't have time now, you guys eat it."

Wang Liumei looked at the last piece of snack, then at the documents beside her, and sighed silently.

However, being able to say a few words to the poker-faced sisters also slightly relieved the irritable mood in her heart.

Actually, the communication with the Xia sisters at the beginning was really not smooth at all. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it might be a bit similar to the state of Chidori Kaname and Sousuke at the beginning.

Maybe it would be a little better, but it was basically at the same level.

But perhaps it was because of this, Wang Liumei was instead hooked on her interest in the Xia sisters. After all, Old Li seemed to care about this pair of sisters, looking like he really wanted to take them for his own use.

Otherwise, why would he specifically recommend them to her?

After a period of contact, Wang Liumei roughly figured out the background of the poker-faced taciturn sisters.

Their hometown was involved in the war, and they were adopted by the worst terrorists together, gradually being trained into tools.

To be honest, with Wang Liumei's experience, it wasn't that she hadn't seen people whose fate was more miserable than the Xia sisters.

But for some reason, Wang Liumei just felt a trace of sympathy for this pair of poker-faced sisters.

Perhaps it was because she had once seen a glimmer of light longing for redemption in the deepest part of the sisters' pupils, which were also radiating an aura of despair.

That must be the seed planted by Li Boyong, Wang Liumei could conclude as such.

Because she could occasionally hear things about Li Boyong in the conversations of this pair of taciturn sisters, which explained the problem well.

Therefore, she specifically used an employment contract to keep the Xia sisters, using a warmer and more daily way to get along with the sisters.

Watching the sisters gradually have favorite foods and gradually have a trace of girlish style under her guidance.

Wang Liumei felt a little relieved, feeling that the haze of intrigue with foreign ministers during this period had been swept away.

Perhaps noticing Wang Liumei's gaze, the older sister Yufang tentatively asked: "As expected, should I leave one for you?"

"No need, it's just a snack."

Wang Liumei shook her head, and then for some reason, Wang Liumei couldn't help but think of a bodyguard who could arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Her gaze gradually blurred: "If Hong Long were here too, it would be even better."

"Who is Hong Long?"

Probably attracted by the weakness that rarely appeared on Wang Liumei at this moment, the younger sister Yulan was rarely aroused with curiosity.

Asked this question, Wang Liumei was stunned for a moment, and actually revealed her weakness in front of others unconsciously.

But forget it, since things had reached this point, just have a good chat, and throw work aside for now.

"A bodyguard of mine from before, whether it was bodyguard work or butler work, he could always achieve it perfectly, and his tea-making skills were also first-class. He was a big brother I was proud of."

Hearing Wang Liumei's description, Yulan tilted her head with some confusion.

Bodyguard?

Butler?

Big brother?

The messy description was completely unclear.

Yufang was more sensitive, asking: "How is that person now?"

"I think, he's probably dead... to protect me..."

Wang Liumei remembered that great escape. It was at that time that the shell of the Wang family head was completely peeled off, and she could finally call out "big brother" sincerely.

It was a pity that everything seemed to be a bit too late.

Understood too late...

Hearing Wang Liumei's answer, the room fell into a brief silence. Just when Wang Liumei intended to strengthen her spirit and continue working, she actually heard unexpected words.

"Sorry..."

The older sister Yufang actually apologized to Wang Liumei.

Perhaps this kind of etiquette was a perfectly normal thing for ordinary people, but for Yufang, it was simply unimaginable.

Perhaps it was really possible to change this pair of sisters.

Looking at the humanity radiating from Yufang at this moment, Wang Liumei became more and more certain of the idea in her heart.

If it were that person, maybe it was really possible.

Just like how he saved me back then, giving the Xia sisters redemption.

After losing her big brother, she had also done many things that lost her reason.

In the end, it was that guy who gave her, who had nowhere to go, a place to stay.

Although traveling through one world after another didn't seem to count as the best travel, it didn't count as the worst, right? ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
