"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take these criminals to the ICPO. Send them away," Daisy waved her hands at them and urged them to leave. It was the couple's happy moment. They shouldn't be disturbed.
Yes, Senior Colonel Ouyang. We will get going," Hawkeye said and hurriedly took the criminal away. His loud voice startled the couple, who were in an embrace.
"Sis Daisy." Leena left Kevin's arms and turned to Daisy. She hugged Daisy, sniffing her light jasmine scent. Leena blushed when she thought of how she had misunderstood things back at the restaurant. She had been convinced that Daisy and Kevin were truly dating.
"Leena, you scared both of us!" Daisy had hardly recovered from the shock. Fortunately, Kevin had taken the lead and saved Leena. Daisy couldn't imagine what would have transpired if he hadn't knocked down the gun seconds ahead of her. She had to admit that with regards to speed, she could never outmaneuver Kevin. Moreover, he was backed by the power of his love, so his speed had been unusually fast. Kevin's anxiety had been plain to see.
Sorry. I didn't expect that this would happen to us. We didn't expect to run into your task. Sorry for causing you so much trouble." Leena felt incredibly guilty. She never wanted Kevin and Daisy to be subject to the gangster's demands just because of her.
Don't say that. You did not trouble us. Even if it was not someone we know, it's our duty to ensure the safety of every citizen. Stop worrying your little head!"
Daisy patted Leena's forehead, feigning a sullen look. It had been a close shave. Daisy had held her breath when she realized that Leena intended to knock down the gangster. In such a critical moment when Leena's life was hanging by a thread, Daisy didn't know how to stop her from risking her life. She didn't even get the opportunity to warn Kevin. She could only cooperate with Leena. Daisy had been too late to control the gangster and couldn't imagine how it would have ended if Kevin hadn't reacted quickly to the situation.
Kevin's gaze was still fixed on Leena. His eyes brimmed with deep affection. He had finally figured out his heart just moments ago. It was not like Kevin never had any feelings for her, he just didn't know when she had so quietly walked into his heart. She caught him off-guard and won him over, and now she was the most important person in his life.
"Mignonne, you are finally out of danger." Gerard walked over to Leena and hugged her tightly after he saw the criminal being taken away. This sudden move surprised Leena, who had just left Daisy's arms. She was totally unprepared for it.
Gerard, I'm fine now. Thanks." Leena glanced at Kevin, a little embarrassed. She was concerned that Kevin would misunderstand such an intimate gesture between her and Gerard.
As soon as Gerard came into his sight again, Kevin began to question who he was. He wondered how this handsome foreigner knew Leena. Were they school mates? Or were they friends? It never occurred to Kevin that this handsome guy was Leena's admirer.
"Nana, is he your friend?" Kevin drew her back promptly, releasing her from Gerard's arms. He circled an arm around her, as if announcing that Leena was his woman.
"Who are you and why did you drag Mignonne away from me?" Gerard was confused and didn't realize that Kevin was Leena's husband.
"Em... Ah... Gerard, he is my husband, so..." Leena intentionally paused and didn't finish the sentence. She was sure that Gerard would understand what she meant.
What?" Gerard couldn't believe her words. He thought that the man she liked would be the gentle type. How could she fall in love with a tough soldier?
Hi, I'm Kevin Gu. Nice to meet you." Kevin felt relieved upon seeing Gerard's surprised expression. He reached out, intending to shake his hand. Kevin assumed that Leena had not previously mentioned to this guy that she was married, so he was obviously shocked at Leena's introduction.
"Hi, you can call me Gerard. Nice to meet you too." Although Kevin was his love rival, Gerard was not a petty man. He generously shook Kevin's hand and did not deliberately make things difficult.
"Okay, we'd better leave now. We still have to talk to the Interpol." Daisy sighed and pinched her eyebrows. She felt it necessary to ask them for an explanation for all of this. Didn't they have an agreement before? They agreed to be in charge of watching all the passes. They promised they wouldn't even let a fly come in. But now, forget about the fly, two people entered into the area right under their noses. Was this what they meant by 'cooperation'?
"Okay, let's go. Nana, how about this? You and your friend find a place to have some refreshments, and I will pick you up when I'm finished." Kevin checked the time. He too felt the need to negotiate with the ICPO. The task of the army base was to help them with their work. But in the end, why did all the work fall upon the army base instead? The ICPO didn't send any support, worse, they failed to keep a watch on the passes.
"Okay. You should go and do your work. Call me afterward," Leena said. A tender smile hovered on her lips. Kevin never said that he loved her, but it was written on his face. He had been so nervous when she was in danger. Leena knew he cared for her deeply.
"Leena, make sure that your phone is switched on first." Kevin flicked her nose lightly, remembering how he had called her in the noon, only to find that her phone was turned off.
"Okay. I almost forgot that my phone is switched off. Did you call me today?" Leena stuck out her tongue and took out her cellphone from her trouser's pocket. Fortunately, she didn't wear a dress today, otherwise she wouldn't have been flexible enough when she fought the gangster.
"You think? Daisy, let's go." Kevin smiled helplessly and bid Gerard goodbye. He quickly walked downstairs.
"Bye, sis Daisy!" Leena smiled. Her cheeks flushed as she realized that she had never been so intimate with Kevin publicly before.
"Leena, remember to call Edward. He is always asking me about you. I'll go now." Daisy waved her goodbye, exasperated. These men were very strange. When they met Leena, they always teased her. But if they didn't see her in a long time, they began to miss her. Daisy didn't know how to understand this mindset.
"Okay, you take care." Leena watched them leave until they disappeared from her sight. She shifted her eyes to Gerard and gazed at his dumbfounded expression with interest. "Mignonne, I realize now why you told me that we can't be together. I'm not your type, am I?" Gerard glanced at Leena, dejected. He seemed to comprehend the situation now.
"No, I wouldn't say that. It depends on what the man is like. My type doesn't really matter," Leena said, smiling gracefully. Her 'type' was not the only standard according to which she loved a man. She attached more importance to a man's morality, and how she felt when she first saw him. The first time she met Kevin, she was drunk and chose him over anyone else. He left a good impression on her at the very first sight, otherwise she would not have had sex with him.
"But that confuses me even more," Gerard said, frowning. He pondered over Leena's words, but it seemed that the harder he tried to figure out why they ended up like this, the further he drifted away from the answer he wanted.
"Don't think anymore. Just use your eyes to see and your heart to feel. You will get it eventually. Let's go now! I'll treat you to afternoon tea." Leena walked past him briskly and led the way. She had promised Kevin that she would wait for him to pick her up. She would gladly do so. During the time she waited for him, she didn't mind spending some more time with Gerard.
But didn't you say that you would go home after you send me back to the hotel? Now you're inviting me to drink tea. What made you change your mind?" Gerard didn't understand Leena and Kevin's language, so he didn't know that Leena changed her plans because Kevin told her to. If Gerard knew about that, he would probably feel distressed again.
