Gu Qiqi understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The assassins from S Nation had just been severely injured and were blinded by the explosion that Gong Jue had created. This was a good opportunity for Gong Jue to lead the researchers to break through S Nation’s technical defense line.

If this was successful, the empire’s borders would be safe for ten years.

S Nation would need a long time to recuperate and would not dare to act rashly again.

Therefore, Gong Jue would definitely personally oversee it.

She was very worried about his safety!

However, she also understood that she could not stop him.

He was someone she cared about. At the same time, he was the guardian of this country.

He was at his most sexy when he was in control.

She couldn’t keep him by her side for her own selfish reasons and prevent him from stepping into that world where danger and glory coexisted.

Gu Qiqi pursed her lips, and her voice trembled slightly. “How long… will it take this time?”

Gong Jue looked into her eyes. “I don’t know, but I’ll make it quick.”

Gu Qiqi asked, “Can I go with you?”

She knew that he would definitely not agree, but she still couldn’t help but ask.

Indeed.

Gong Jue’s face darkened. “No! This is a man’s business. Stay in school obediently and take the exam. Don’t forget to fulfill your promise after the exam!”

What promise?

Oh, yes. She had promised him that when the exams were over and the holidays were over, he would take her somewhere quiet and nice and listen to her finish her story from four years ago.

But!

She couldn’t wait.

After last night’s ordeal, she couldn’t wait to confess to him.

She wanted to tell him everything about herself. She wanted to expect his answer and be with him—to imprint her name on his heart while he lived!

She didn’t want to regret when life and death were uncertain!

She mustered her courage. “Gong Jue, there’s no need to wait until the exam is over. I’ll tell you now…”

“Bi—! Bi—!”

The communication device on Gong Jue’s waist vibrated.

He destroyed his phone and cut off all contact with the outside world, only contacting his subordinates through internal devices.

“Wait a moment.” Gong Jue hugged her and kissed her tender lips again. Then, he strode away and went to the window to answer the call.

Gu Qiqi looked at his back and clenched her fists. She made up her mind that she couldn’t delay hiding it from him anymore. She had to make this matter clear while he was at the front line this time. Otherwise, if anything really… happened, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

Bai Lang watched helplessly as Gong Jue left. After eating a stomach full of dog food, he could finally interrupt. “Little vixen Qiqi, I didn’t understand what you said just now! Why did I come to look for you so early in the morning to report that Gong Jue had died in the line of duty? I was clearly here to…”

Before he could finish speaking, the little packrat rushed down from the dining table and rushed to Gu Qiqi with his short legs. He hugged her leg and said pitifully, “Big Sister, I want it too!”

Ever since Gong Jue entered, Gu Qiqi’s gaze had been fixed on him.

The twist from death to life was too shocking, so much so that she had temporarily forgotten about the little boy and was only focused on seeing if Gong Jue was alright.

At this moment, she bent down guiltily and hugged the little boy. “What do you want?”

The little boy pouted. “I want what Daddy just got!”

He had been obedient just now and did not disturb Big Sister and his father.

However, this did not mean that he was not depressed!

As soon as his father entered, he played with Big Sister and kissed her for a long time!

He hadn’t kissed Big Sister for that long before. It wasn’t fair!
