The next morning, Jiang Chen sat up on the bed while rubbing his still sleepy eyes.
A faint smile appeared on his face while looking at Ayesha, who was still curled up in blankets, sleeping like an adorable cat.
Needless to say, there were no words for what happened last night.
Maybe it was just his imagination; however, it seemed that from that night on, Ayesha had started becoming clingier. Although she remained expressionless in public when it was just the two of them...ahem, there's no need to say the rest.
Yesterday he took Ayesha around all the major tourist attractions, along with hundreds of photos carrying their beautiful memories, it could be considered as the perfect culmination of their Kane trip.
He leaned against the headboard, brooding for a short while, and then taking care not to disturb the still sleeping Ayesha, he sneaked out of bed.
He went to the bathroom, took a shower, and then took out his phone to call Robert.
”Ahem, buddy, I heard you've solved your problem. Uh, sorry, I—” As soon as the phone connected, Robert's apologetic voice immediately came through.
”Ok, I didn't come here to listen to you apologize,” Jiang Chen yawned and wandered to the balcony of the room. ”Niger, last stop, how are things over there?”
”Don't worry, everything will be smooth sailing from here on. I already personally made the trip to ensure everything is ready.” Robert touched his nose with embarrassment and his laugh echoed through the phone
”You personally made the trip? When did you become so diligent?” Jiang Chen asked, looking baffled. ”Your ”old friend” is not monitoring you?”
Jiang Chen smiled and leaned leisurely against the carved metal fence.
”Has the infrastructure construction been completed yet? I've already solved the training problem.”
”Of course, I know a Portuguese builder who's an expert in this area. He previously assisted the French army to build a military outpost in Mali. In short, this guy was good at building military infrastructures. Asking price is not expensive—$15million. I went and inspected it yesterday. It's already finished and the quality was also excellent.”
[Hmm, not bad.]
Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and changed the topic.
”What about the refugees?”
”Done.”
”Great. Wait for me in Niger.” Jiang Chen then hung up the phone.
All of a sudden, he felt a piece of clothing gently draping over his back. Upon turning around, he was greeted by Ayesha's tender but fiery eyes.
”You're up.” Jiang Chen smiled and gently held the small hand on his shoulder.
”Mhmm, it's a bit cold here, especially in the morning. Are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast,” Ayesha said softly.
Jiang Chen's eyes bore into Ayesha's eyes.
Being stared like that by Jiang Chen, Ayesha's cheeks turned scarlet and whispered, ”What?”
”Nothing, I've just realized you're becoming more and more beautiful.” Jiang Chen grinned wickedly while staring into her eyes.
Gently clutching her panicking hands, he pulled Ayesha back into the house.
”Come on, we're getting that breakfast.”
...
Breakfast at Primir Hotel was exquisite though somewhat bit expensive.
After eating breakfast, Jiang Chen checked out at the front desk, and then while holding Ayesha's hand, boarded the taxi and headed to Boris Boer International Airport.
What luggage? Just store them directly in the storage dimension.
After getting off the vehicle, Ayesha returned to her usual cold expression and followed Jiang Chen half a step behind.
At the airport gate, Jiang Chen met Nick along with ten Kane men who were hauling their suitcases.
He greeted Nick and turned to look at the ten soldiers of the former 92nd Mechanized Infantry.
”It's such a great honor. You've made the right choice,” Jiang Chen smiled and extended his arms in a welcoming gesture.
”Not like we have much of choice,” the man named Ivan shrugged. His stiff face contorted slightly before continuing, ”But the opportunities you provided are sure very attractive.”
Laughing, Jiang Chen expression was very cordial. ”Of course, I've always been very good with my people.”
”At least the old guy Anderson doesn't need to worry about housing anymore,” said a huge bald man with a smile as he pounded the back of his comrade standing next to him.
”House?”
”That's right.” Ivan rolled his eyes and shrugged. ”I served the army for 25 years when the former Soviet Union still existed. Unfortunately, I have been enlisted in the Kaneian army. I was on the list for housing in 1987, but with how things are looking, it would take 100 more years before it would be my turn.”
”That's nothing,” said the bald guy, patting the guy who continued to remain quiet. ”It's even more unfortunate for Anderson. It was already his turn when his name was replaced by someone else.”
”Don't keep using me as an example. Whoever wants to fight for those swindlers can go right ahead. This country has nothing to do with me anymore,” Anderson softly rebuked with an unhappy expression.
”Ok, guys, why don't we chat in the waiting area.”
A group of people standing in front of the airport looked out of place however you look at it. Jiang Chen noticed that the police in the front door was deliberately looking in their direction.
It was a critical period after all, so any group of people gathering around would cause suspicion.
