About half an hour later, on the streets of Beijing, a young man and woman walked hand in hand. The boy looked fairly ordinary, but the girl drew attention—her elegant long dress, her breathtakingly beautiful face, her noble demeanor, and the distinctly foreign features in her facial structure and skin tone all made her stand out.

The girl would occasionally let out tinkling giggles of delight, her slender fingers pointing now here, now there, seemingly curious about everything around them.

"Husband, what's that"

“That’s rock candy on a stick.”

“What is rock candy on a stick”

“It’s haws coated with rock candy.”

“Then what is rock candy”

"Ice made into sugar—that's rock candy."

“Can ice be turned into sugar”

"I can!"

"Hehe, you're lying, husband!"

...

Hearing the conversation between the two people ahead, the man and woman following behind both wore grim expressions. They exchanged a glance before breaking into bitter smiles.

This couple was also comprised of one Chinese person and one foreigner, both around thirty years old with decent appearances—the male tall and handsome, the female alluring. However, they were not here for shopping; instead, they had been dispatched to serve as bodyguards for the two people in front.

The pair ahead was naturally Xia Tian and Princess Samah, while behind them, the man was named Huo Zheng and the woman Fadini.

Although Xia Tian thought it unnecessary to have an embassy arrange anything, Mu Han believed that directly taking away another country's princess from their embassy might lead to a diplomatic incident, so they decided to negotiate first.

However, neither Xia Tian nor Princess Samah were particularly keen on having too many people follow them. After about ten minutes of negotiation, they finally agreed upon a compromise solution: the embassy would send one person and China would also send someone along.

The embassy sent a woman—Fadini—who was nominally an ambassadorial secretary but clearly came as bodyguard for Princess Samah.

Huo Zheng, on the other hand, represented China’s side. He held the title of Foreign Affairs staff, yet Mu Han informed Xia Tian that Huo Zheng was actually from Longzu (Dragon Group).

In fact, Xia Tian hoped that Mu Han would accompany her instead of this guy called Huo Zheng. However, Mu Han felt it wasn't appropriate, even though she didn't mind Xia Tian being affectionate with Princess Sama in front of her. If the embassy staff saw Xia Tian holding both Mu Han and Princess Sama while shopping on the street, they might think there was a problem.

Fadini still couldn't understand how Princess Sama could fall for an ordinary Chinese man who spoke strangely.

Since Fadini was also fluent in Chinese, she clearly understood every word exchanged between Xia Tian and Princess Sama.

Despite her confusion, Fadini didn't have much time to ponder this issue. Her primary concern remained the safety of Princess Sama. Although Princess Sama had arrived quietly in Beijing this time, theoretically not many people should know about it. However, if someone had been continuously monitoring Princess Sama's movements, they might still find out.

Although no information regarding any assassination attempt on Princess Sama was received yet, to be safe, she needed to remain vigilant; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to account for her responsibilities should anything happen to Princess Sama.

Upon thinking this far, Fadini felt a bit disappointed with the Chinese side. She had hoped that more personnel would be assigned to protect Princess Sama, but in reality, only one person was sent. It seemed relying on outsiders wasn't as reliable as she thought.

"Miss Fadini, don’t worry too much. Relax and take a deep breath; nothing bad will happen to Princess Sama," Huo Zheng couldn't help but remind her when he saw how tense she looked.

"Mr. Huo, I’m sorry, but I have no faith in your abilities." Fadini’s frustration with the Chinese side was now directed at Huo Zheng.

Luckily, Huo Zheng didn’t mind her words. He had been sent here not because of his extraordinary skills but due to his language advantage. In Longzu (Dragon Team), he was just an ordinary member, though better than average agents. However, in Beijing alone, there were numerous agents more capable than him. The reason for sending him was his fluency in Arabic; he was the best speaker of it in their group. Simply put, he wasn’t here to protect Princess Sama but rather to facilitate communication between both sides.

"Miss Fadini, you can doubt my abilities, but I believe that Princess Sama’s judgment is sound." Huo Zheng smiled faintly. "I’m not confident in myself to ensure the safety of Princess Sama without fail, but I know Mr. Xia would never let anything happen to her, which is why I remain calm and relaxed. Moreover, I suggest you also ease up; when they go shopping, we can do the same and enjoy the scenery along the streets."

"Mr. Hu, it's not only cold now, but also very windy. There doesn't seem to be much of a view on the street, does there" Fadini said somewhat discontentedly.

"Yes, it is quite windy." Hu Zheng nodded his head. "Then, Miss Fadini, have you noticed something unusual that happened to Princess Samara"

"Something unusual" Fadini looked at Princess Samara; in her opinion, the most unusual thing was that Princess Samara actually took a fancy to a Chinese man. Furthermore, as far as she knew, this Chinese man was virtually unknown—she had never seen his name mentioned in any international news.

Just by looking like this, she suddenly realized something seemed off: with such strong wind today, her skirt hem was being blown up; yet, Princess Samara's long dress didn't seem to react at all!

Even though Fadini knew that Princess Samara’s dress was made of high-quality materials and was meticulously crafted—no matter how strong the wind, it would not lift her dress, even if the outer layer did get blown up, her undergarments wouldn’t be exposed—it still seemed rather abnormal. How could there be no sign of the wind affecting her at all

Fadini subconsciously glanced at Xia Tian who was holding hands with Princess Samara and noticed that his clothes didn't react to the wind either; it appeared that where they were standing, there wasn’t a single breath of wind.

"How is this possible" Fadini muttered to herself.

Just as Fadini was feeling perplexed, Princess Samara also noticed something amiss. She then asked, "Husband, why can I feel no wind at all when it's so windy that someone over there almost got blown away by the gusts"

Hearing this question, Fadini unconsciously moved closer to hear the answer more clearly.

"Because I am too cool." Xia Tian replied.

;br>

Fadini suddenly felt like coughing up blood. What kind of ridiculous answer was this

Huo Zheng was also speechless. This reason was just too powerful.

"Husband, why didn't the wind blow when you were handsome" Princess Samara continued to追問。

"Because I'm too handsome. These winds and rains feel ashamed in my presence and disappear automatically," Xia Tian answered seriously.

"Is that so" Princess Samara thought about it earnestly, "It seems to make sense! I heard that even the wind and rain have their own spirits!"

Princess Samara soon stopped pursuing this question as she spotted something edible: "Husband, what is that Can we eat it"

"That's cotton candy. It's made of sugar coated in cotton fluff and isn't edible," Xia Tian glanced at it and replied.

Princess Samara giggled flirtatiously, "Hehe, you're lying to me again, husband. That can't be made from cotton." She then grabbed Xia Tian and ran over.

Fadini looked at Huo Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't resist asking: "Mr. Huo, do you know Mr. Xia"

At this moment, Fadini suddenly felt an urge to understand more about Xia Tian. She wanted to know what kind of qualities Princess Samara found attractive in this Chinese man.

"Miss Fadini, I don't know him very well." Huo Zheng shook his head. "All I know is that he's a very mysterious man."

Huo Zheng didn’t know Xia Tian too much, but it wasn't as little as she thought. However, he couldn't tell everything to Fadini either. In fact, Huo Zheng was both envious and jealous of Xia Tian; he had also seen the blonde beauty Mu Han from Dragon Group back then. Just the fact that Xia Tian managed to win over Mu Han would already be enough to make him envious.

Although he was envious, Huo Zheng was aware of his own limitations. He didn’t have what it takes to compete with Xia Tian for her affections. Even if Xia Tian wasn't around, there’s no way that Mu Han would ever look at him; therefore, he couldn't really feel any resentment towards Xia Tian.

Upon learning that Xia Tian had managed to pursue the Arab princess, Huo Zheng felt a sense of pride. He thought that Xia Tian was truly bringing glory to their country—or at least to Chinese men.

"A mysterious man" Although Fadini suspected that Huo Zheng wouldn't give her any concrete information when she asked him earlier, she still found his answer too vague. A man who could charm the heart of Princess Samara was indeed quite remarkable, but he wasn’t a mysterious man; rather, he was a magician.

Fadini remained highly alert and attentive to her surroundings, while Huo Zheng seemed indifferent. That afternoon, however, everything proceeded normally without any extraordinary incidents occurring.

Princess Samara, who was visiting Beijing for the first time, found many things new and interesting; therefore, she enjoyed herself thoroughly. Time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, night had fallen. At this point in time, another issue arose: Fadini wanted to take Princess Samara back to the embassy, while Xia Tian hoped to bring her back to his residence.

"Husband, I think I should go back to the embassy first. How about you come and find me tomorrow" Although Princess Samara wasn't too eager to part with Xia Tian, she seemed reluctant to spend a night at his place right away; thus, she finally requested to return to the embassy.

Xia Tian was not very pleased with this arrangement, but at that moment, his phone rang once again. This time, however, he recognized the number—it belonged to his Third Master, Lu Ren.h the booth was noisy, Xia Tian's voice carried an irresistible penetrative power that immediately reached everyone inside the booth.The women heard the sound but didn't react. They continued to wrigg...
