Chapter 382 Embarrassment
The next day, Xi Yu stared at the mirror in the bathroom for a long time.
Her lips were still faintly red and swollen. She had been kissed by Yan San for a long time last night. If she hadn't attacked his vitals when he wasn't paying attention, she wouldn't have been able to escape!
Xi Yu cursed under her breath. She still had to go and report to Mo Qinglan today; she absolutely had to appear in public!
It's all that unrestrained bastard's fault!
After applying ice for a while, Xi Yu finally stepped out of the room once the redness and swelling had subsided considerably.
Fortunately, Yan Sanyi had left early, otherwise she didn't know if she would have accidentally punched him when she saw him.
"Oh, Xiao Xi, you've come at the right time! Come and help me take a look at this data..."
Xi Yu originally wanted to go back quietly, but she didn't expect to be caught by Dr. Qi as soon as she went out. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to help.
When Dr. Qi looked up and saw her, he paused for a moment. Seeing that Xi Yu was a little uncomfortable, he consciously looked away and comforted her, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Go back and rest early today. You're much better off than Commander Yan. He didn't sleep well either and even accidentally fell off the bed and hurt his eye."
Xi Yu awkwardly stammered as she analyzed the data for Dr. Qi. Only after Dr. Qi was finally satisfied did she flee the research institute like the wind.
……
After signing the last report, Fu Baili handed it back to Mo Qinglan, who was waiting in front of him.
As Mo Qinglan was taking her leave, he hurriedly called her back.
"Yes, Chief of Staff, is there anything else you need?" Mo Qinglan asked respectfully, her impeccable military posture as if it had been measured.
After deliberating for a long time, Fu Baili gritted his teeth and said, "Our First Legion will serve as the guards for Princess Xin's speech at Donglai Square..."
Mo Qinglan's expression remained unchanged, but the fingers gripping the report tightened slightly.
"The escort team will consist of about thirty people, and you will lead and select the members... If you are unwilling, that's fine too..."
Before Fu Baili could finish speaking, Mo Qinglan readily agreed.
“I understand, I’ll take care of it right away,” she said, then bowed slightly and took her leave again.
"Qinglan!" Fu Baili called out to her subconsciously, but when Mo Qinglan turned around to wait for his instructions, he couldn't bring himself to say it. After a long while, he finally said, "If you don't want to, I can have someone else lead the team."
Mo Qinglan suddenly smiled faintly: "It is my duty to carry out your orders. Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."
Mo Qinglan left, and Fu Baili, who was in the room, rested his hands on the table and sighed softly.
……
Xi Yu managed to avoid the crowd and sneak into Mo Qinglan's office.
"I'm sorry, Sister Mo, I reported late!" Xi Yu stood up and gave a military salute in apology.
"It's alright, you've come at the perfect time. Come and sit here, I have a new task for you." Mo Qinglan smiled faintly.
Then she explained to Xi Yu the mission of protecting the First Princess of the Empire, Yue Zhengxin. In addition to mobilizing twenty-seven legion soldiers, three members of the Falcon Squad would also be added, including herself, Xi Yu, and Luo Xiuqi.
“Currently, there are only three of us available in Falcon, but that's enough to protect Princess Xin’s safety. You and Xiuqi will keep watch from the shadows, while I will protect her closely to ensure there is no danger. In addition to us, the Fourth Legion’s guard team will also be on duty in the square.”
Mo Qinglan spoke slowly.
