Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

When Qin Huanhuan finished washing up and came to the dining table.

Xiao Zhan had already prepared a bowl of millet porridge and a cup of soy milk and placed them on her seat. He was sitting at the table quietly waiting for her to come and have breakfast together.

Qin Huanhuan was touched. She had never been so valued and respected before. She said softly, "Young Master Xiao, you eat first. You don't have to wait for me! I'm not your family."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hehe, it's just the two of us at home, of course we should eat together. Right now, you are my family. Even if we leave here and become strangers, I will still wait for you to have breakfast together. This is my way of showing you respect. There is no distinction between noble and lowly people; everyone should respect others."

Qin Huanhuan is usually quite easily moved to tears, or rather, she rarely cries, but at this moment she was still touched by Xiao Zhan's sincerity.

Aside from his excessive sexual desires, that jerk is great in every other way. It's just that we're from completely different worlds and are destined to never be together.

While eating breakfast, Qin Huanhuan said, "Young Master Xiao, why don't you live with your family?"

Xiao Zhan ate very quickly, so fast that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he finished in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he had gone down a bowl of millet porridge, several large meat buns, and two poached eggs. Finally, he picked up a cup of soy milk, drank it, and said, "Try not to talk while you're eating."

"I stayed here last night so that it would be convenient for you."

Qin Huanhuan suddenly remembered what happened last night…

So, out of curiosity, I asked, "I was too tired last night and forgot to ask you, Captain Shen, how did you know where Hua Ying and I were? And how did you know Lin Ruoxi would send people to cause trouble for me?"

"Finally, I crushed the testicles of the man who bullied me. That's intentional assault, so why hasn't the police come looking for me yet?"

"Young Master Xiao, can you explain all of this to me?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "From now on, you can just call me by my name. Calling me 'Young Master Xiao' makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"I heard from someone else that Lin Ruoxi sent people to cause trouble for you. I told Shen Jun your location. I first called my friends at the police station for help to locate you through your phone number and have Shen Jun find you as quickly as possible to protect you and Hua Ying and bring you here."

"As for why the police didn't come to find you, it's probably because the other party didn't call the police. After all, they broke the law first, and making a big fuss wouldn't benefit anyone."

Are you satisfied with my answer?

Qin Huanhuan nodded: "Very satisfied, thank you."

Xiao Zhan stared into Qin Huanhuan's dark eyes and asked, "Where did you go after breakfast?"

Qin Huanhuan didn't dare to meet Xiao Zhan's gaze and said with her head down, "I'll go to the hospital first to pay my sister's medical bills. My sister is going to have surgery this morning, and I've already taken leave to stay at the hospital with my mother."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Qin Huanhuan shook her head and said, "Thank you, but no need. You've already helped me enough. I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Xiao Zhan said calmly, "Don't be so polite with me. Although our transaction is a mutually beneficial one, to be honest, you've shown me what it's like to be with a woman, and you give me a particularly good feeling. To use a modern slang term, we're very compatible and harmonious in that area."

Qin Huanhuan's face flushed red instantly. Couldn't this stinky man have been a little less blunt?

That's so embarrassing!

Oh, by the way, he's a former soldier with a straightforward personality.

Qin Huanhuan said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I was going to stay with you last night, but I wasn't feeling well. I'll have to stay with you another time."

"I'm done eating, it's time for me to go."

As Qin Huanhuan spoke, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom. She was going to change out of the business suit she had worn yesterday. The pajamas she was wearing now were the ones Xiao Zhan had given her the night before, and they fit her perfectly; they were brand new pajamas.

She secretly admired Xiao Zhan's meticulous attention to detail. If he weren't from a wealthy family, a man like him would be a wonderful boyfriend.

Xiao Zhan stood up and said, "Your clothes are in the laundry room over there. I've already washed and ironed them for you."

Qin Huanhuan froze on the spot, her body trembling slightly. She slowly turned around, an expression of disbelief on her face, and said, "You washed my clothes? And you even ironed them?"

Xiao Zhan shrugged and said, "It was nothing."

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll have Shen Jun take you to the hospital."

Qin Huanhuan's nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears again. This was the first time in her life that a man had washed and ironed her clothes.

When Qin Huanhuan came out after changing her clothes, she saw Xiao Zhan holding an envelope and handing it to her, saying, "Here, take this."

Qin Huanhuan asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Zhan curled his lips and said, "Shen Jun heard from Hua Ying that besides the 200,000 yuan I gave you, you don't even have money for food. You can take this money for now."

"brush!"

Qin Huanhuan finally couldn't hold back her scalding tears...

She choked back tears and said, "You jerk, can you stop being so nice to me? It's just a transaction between us."

"I'm after your money, and you're after my body, that's all."

"What exactly do you want?!"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Please call me Lei Feng!"

He paused for a moment and then said, "First of all, I admire your sense of contract and your sincere attitude towards cooperation, so I am willing to help you. This money is without any strings attached. You can pay me back when you have it, or it's fine if you don't. Okay, you should go down now. Shen Jun is already waiting for you in the underground parking garage."

Qin Huanhuan wiped away her tears, her eyes still brimming with tears, and accepted the envelope. She bowed to Xiao Zhan and said, "Thank you, Lei Feng!"

Then he turned around and resolutely walked towards the elevator.

Because she knew she was the ugly duckling, while Xiao Zhan was a wealthy young master, she couldn't fall in love with him; that would inevitably lead to tragedy…

As Xiao Zhan watched the elevator doors slowly close and Qin Huanhuan's figure disappear into the elevator, his heart suddenly clenched, a little painful, a little reluctant—a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Why!"

Xiao Zhan sighed softly and muttered to himself, "We are ultimately not meant to be together."

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Zhan immediately became serious and answered the phone, saying, "Hello, Captain. Please give me your instructions."

On the other end of the phone, Wan Chongshan said in a serious tone, "Xiao Zhan, we just received intelligence that India has sent a special forces team to infiltrate Beijing to assassinate you. You should prepare for the emergency immediately."

Xiao Zhan's eyes instantly hardened, his killing intent surging to the heavens and earth as he said, "Please rest assured, Captain, I will make sure these guys don't leave alive; they'll all be left behind as fertilizer."

Wan Chongshan continued, "I have already notified the National Security Bureau to assist you, Xiao Zhan. We have heavy combat missions and cannot spare any manpower to help you for the time being. Please be careful. You are the most proud and outstanding soldier I have personally trained."

Xiao Zhan straightened up and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Captain. Those scoundrels from India think they can kill me? They're dreaming. They want revenge, right? Then I'll send them to reunite with those two major generals."

Wan Chongshan: "You've gotten in touch with Shen Jun, haven't you?"

Xiao Zhan: "I've made contact. Shen Jun is now my bodyguard captain. That kid is still as decisive as ever, no wonder he's a soldier I trained. Also, the Security Bureau has sent a female agent to help me. I'm now surrounded by a strong force."

Wan Chongshan: "Then I'm relieved."

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhan, we've found out about the trap we set for your special forces team and the person who leaked the intelligence, but we lack the evidence to punish them. You'll have to rely on yourself."

"I'll send you the detailed information in a bit."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow, gritted his teeth, and said sullenly, "You bastard, I'll send him to the deepest hell!"

Wan Chongshan warned, "His background and strength are similar to yours. In short, you need to be careful."

"I will take action once I have conclusive evidence."

Xiao Zhan's eyes sharpened as he said, "Understood, Captain."
