Liu Xuan frowned.” Miss Wen, the company has a rule that we can’t reveal Young Master’s whereabouts to the public. If they find out about me, I won’t be able to keep my job.”
Wen Ruan pursed her lips.” I just happen to be lacking a bodyguard in Nirvana. If you can’t keep your job, be my bodyguard. I’ll pay you double your salary.””
Liu Xuan looked at Wen Ruan in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something, the woman slapped Liu Xuan’s head again.” Miss Wen cured your mother’s cough. Even if I have to lose my job, I have to repay her kindness.””
Liu Xuan was silent for a moment before he said to Wen Ruan,” Young Master should have gone to the Ssman Desert in the Middle East. There are newly discovered natural gas and oil resources there.”
The reason why the Sburn family was so rich was because they had a large amount of strategic materials during the war, such as oil.
Wen Ruanruo nodded.
Liu Xuan stared at Wen Ruan for a few seconds and asked curiously,” Miss Wen, are you an admirer of our Young Master?”
Wen Ruan pursed her lips.” I guess so!”
“Then I advise you to give up on the idea of pursuing him. Young Master will be engaged to the princess at that time!”
Wen Ruan pursed her lips slightly.” Haven’t you ordered it yet?””
Liu Xuan looked at the beautiful and confident Wen Ruan. He sighed and said nothing more.
After learning that Wen Ruan was going to the Siman Desert in the Middle East, the woman was worried and asked Liu Xuan to quit his job to escort Wen Ruan over.
Wen Ruan did not object. Liu Xuan was honest and well-built. Being her bodyguard would give her a sense of security.
After all, they were going to the distant desert and were unfamiliar with the place. If they encountered any danger, they could take care of each other.
There was a small town on the west side of the Siman Desert. There were not many residents, and it looked a little desolate.
Wen Ruan bought a set of local clothes for herself and Liu Xuan. She was wearing a black robe. The wind and sand were too strong, and her face was covered with a veil.
The sky darkened. To enter the desert, they needed a local to lead the way.
Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan found the only hotel in the area and stayed there.
After checking in, Liu Xuan went to talk to the locals about entering the desert. Wen Ruan walked around the town.
When they returned to the hotel, Liu Xuan had already returned. He had found the locals and would bring them into the desert tomorrow morning.
Perhaps too many things had happened recently, so Wen Ruan’s nerves had been tense. When he arrived at Soman Town, where the environment and conditions weren’t too good, Wen Ruan relaxed a little.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and fell asleep very quickly.
Wen Ruan was woken up by a series of knocks on the door.
Liu Xuan stood at the door and said to Wen Ruan,” Miss Wen, we’re leaving.””
After a quick breakfast, Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan rode their camels into the desert under the lead of the locals.
The sky was not beautiful. Sand danced wildly in the sky. Even though she was wearing a veil, sand still flew into her delicate neck from time to time. However, Wen Ruan did not make a sound. She did not show any signs of pampering or dissatisfaction.
After walking for half a day, they saw the Sburn family’s base in the desert.
They built two stone houses on the edge of the oasis, surrounded by tents and tools.
“Miss Wen, that’s it.”
Wen Ruan nodded but didn’t immediately approach the campsite of the Sburn Family. She asked Liu Xuan to set up two tents a few meters away from them.
Liu Xuan did not know what Wen Ruan was planning to do, but now that he had become her bodyguard, he would naturally do whatever she said.
The locals left after sending the two of them over.
Liu Xuan, according to Wen Ruan’s request, set up two tents.
Wen Ruan was a little tired after traveling for half a day. She went to the tent to rest for half an hour.
Liu Xuan stood guard outside the tent and looked around vigilantly.
Wen Ruan was still in a daze when she heard someone questioning Liu Xuan. She opened the tent and walked out.
The veil covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of deer eyes outside.
“We are here for an outdoor adventure. We will leave after staying here for one night.”
Wen Ruan’s voice was clear and sweet, and her eyes were clear and bright. She did not look like someone with ulterior motives.
The other party replied,” The desert environment is harsh and dangerous. Try not to stay too long.”
“Alright.”
After that person left, Wen Ruan called Liu Xuan over.
“Take the things I brought. Let’s go to the edge of the oasis.”
Liu Xuan carried a large black bag on his back and followed Wen Ruan to the oasis.
The oasis here had clear water and lush trees, like beautiful pearls embedded in the desert.
Wen Ruan asked Liu Xuan to build a simple stove for her. She placed the herbs she brought into the pot and boiled a large pot of medicinal soup.
Wen Ruan poured a cup for Liu Xuan.” Your throat won’t be so dry after drinking a cup.”
Liu Xuan took the cup from Wen Ruan and took a few sips.
Two aunties who came to fetch water saw Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan and sized them up curiously.
“What are you drinking?”
Wen Ruan’s face was covered by a veil, and her deer eyes that were exposed were slightly curved. Although she could not see her face clearly, she could feel her smile.” We came to the desert for an adventure, but it’s too dry here. My throat hurts and there’s a foreign body sensation. I made some herbal tea myself. After drinking it, my throat will feel much better.”
Liu Xuan finished a cup of herbal tea and said,” My throat feels much better.”
The two aunties touched their throats. The weather here was bad, so it was common for their throats to feel uncomfortable. There were medicines in the camp, but the effect was not obvious.
“Miss, can we have a drink?”
“Sure!” Wen Ruan took out two disposable cups and handed one to each of the aunties.
After the two aunties finished drinking, they gave Wen Ruan a few apples and went back to the camp with water.
After the two of them finished cooking, they realized that their throats were not as dry as before.
“That lady’s herbal tea is really magical. My throat was still a little dry and painful before, but now it feels much better!”
A man’s voice with a hint of evilness was heard.” Aunties, what kind of herbal tea is so magical?”
It was Mo Zhan, who was in charge of the oil and natural gas exploitation in the desert.
The patriarch of the Sborne family would have four assistants by his side.
They were equivalent to the Four Great Guardians, assisting from the side and passing down from generation to generation. Apart from the patriarch of the Sborne clan, they could disobey anyone’s orders.
If the new young master wanted the four assistants to listen to him, he would have to show his strong skills.
Mo Zhan was one of the four great assistants. He was the first assistant Huo Hannian had made him obey after returning to the Sborne family.
Mo Zhan was different from the indifference of the other three assistants. He was evil and looked a little cynical.
He could chat with the patriarch of the Sborne family and the aunties who cooked in the kitchen.
The auntie also liked to communicate with Mo Zhan, so she told him about them drinking Wen Ruan’s medicinal tea.
“Oh? It’s so magical?”
