107: "I smile and talk in front of you, but I say your heart is unattainable!"

“The gentleness of that bowed head,

Just like a water lotus, shyly unable to bear the cool breeze.”

—

Before the banquet, in the living room of the suite, Fang Le’s eyes lit up.

Before him was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, standing tall and graceful, possessing both purity and mature charm.

She wore a light blue evening gown, her hair coiled into a bun, lightly powdered and painted, exuding national beauty. At this moment, under Fang Le's gaze, she was shy, her jade hands intertwining the ruffles of her skirt, her eyes restless.

She was Fang Le's personal guard, Yan Ruyu.

“Com-Commander, am I, am I not dressed appropriately?”

Under Fang Le's burning gaze, Yan Ruyu finally couldn't help but speak in a shy, stammering voice.

Only then did Fang Le realize he had been lost in thought.

“Ah, no, you are very beautiful.”

“Let’s go.”

Fang Le extended one arm. Yan Ruyu was momentarily stunned before realizing what to do. Her soft hand gently reached out, and her jade arm linked with Fang Le’s. The two walked forward naturally.

When they arrived in the corridor outside the room, the reception staff, seeing the two walking arm-in-arm, momentarily felt as if they were witnessing a prince and princess from a painting slowly approaching. Only when the two had passed did they react, hurrying forward to lead the way.

The banquet hall prepared by Dragon Nation for the Anti-War Army was also in a building within the State Guesthouse area. The main venue was a full-floor hall, and the entire building would be strictly controlled until the end of the banquet, allowing only authorized personnel to enter and exit.

When Fang Le and Yan Ruyu gracefully walked into the banquet hall, everyone already present was stunned.

Aside from Fang Le still wearing a mask, the man was tall and slender in a white formal suit, and the woman was naturally beautiful and gentle, a truly perfect match.

Immediately, spontaneous applause erupted throughout the hall.

Minister Dong strode forward, smiling as he extended his hand to Fang Le in welcome, saying, “Come, come, come, my younger brother, let me introduce you.”

Fang Le followed Minister Dong and met everyone present.

“This is Minister Fan Jiang of our Army Department, and this is his wife, Ms. Zhao Lijuan.”

“Hello, Minister Fan. Hello, Ms. Zhao. A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you.”

“This is from the Air Force Department…”

When introducing a general dressed in a white naval uniform, Fang Le chuckled.

“Minister Dong, there’s no need to introduce this one.”

“Hello, General Shen.”

Fang Le proactively extended his hand.

The General Shen before him was Shen Nanshan, Commander-in-Chief of Dragon Nation's South Sea Fleet. It was Shen Nanshan himself who personally led the South Sea Fleet to escort Fang Le all the way to Dragon Nation's mainland.

Shen Nanshan also chuckled.

“Hello, Commander Fang, we meet again.”

“Indeed, thank you, General Shen, for your escort last time.”

“Not at all, not at all, just doing my job.”

Not long after, Minister Dong finished his introductions.

There were still some people at the end whom Minister Dong did not introduce individually. They were a group of young men and women with a considerable age and rank difference from the military high-ranking officials introduced earlier. Minister Dong stated:

“These are the younger generation in the military, and also the rising stars of the People's Army. I think you and us old folks always lack common topics, but you should be able to chat more with them, the young people.”

“If they come to get close to you later, please don’t disdain them for their insufficient status.”

Fang Le shook his head, “How could I?”

As soon as Minister Dong left, Fang Le and Yan Ruyu were immediately surrounded by that group of young men and women.
