Chapter 1622 Small Gift
Lu Ping'an's return is a signal.
When it returns to Earth, many things begin to operate with it as the core.
Or from another perspective, he is just one of the countless living beings who has returned to the planet specifically for this time to prepare to participate in this feast.
".The timing is about what we expected. After two and a half to three years of strategic defense, we have finally reached the strategic counterattack period."
The difficult years seem to pass by in a flash, but there are always people who carry on despite the suffering.
Lu Ping'an seemed to have used the method of jumping time, skipping the dull and painful defensive period and directly reaching the destined counterattack turning point.
Most of the time, he came from various star fields and was busy traveling back and forth between various forces for his own interests, but he was also preparing for the counterattack and settlement of the war.
However, he still values and respects the defenders who stay in their homeland and are destined to see no future or end.
"Thank you for your hard work, you charming city defender."
Lu Ping'an clinked his glasses gently and smiled at the long-legged beauty in a blue evening gown.
Xia Qin is much more mature than she was back then. Now at the banquet hall, with her long hair, if you only look at her appearance, she has become a beautiful lady with a sweet smile and fair skin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Cheng. No, the largest arms dealer and war broker in the entire East Country."
The wine glasses touched lightly, causing ripples. The two people looked at each other, but covered their mouths and chuckled.
This is a charity dinner held by a development company under the ancient city hall. To be precise, it is a Hongmen Banquet led by the government, where companies are asked to pay a little to support public expenditures such as the country, war losses, orphans, etc.
But in fact, due to the relatively harmonious relations among the various forces in the ancient city, the city's public security has always been above the standard line, and various forces are actually willing to pay some money.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Ping'an donated more than 400 war machines. He requested to donate anonymously. At his point, he didn't need any fame. The lower-key, the better.
As a bearer of public responsibility and a beneficiary of this huge donation, Xia Qin naturally also participated in the banquet.
However, compared to that year, she is much more skilled and mature.
Now the two of them were talking to each other in a corner of the banquet. As they were a young but important couple, few people dared to disturb them.
"Boss, stop talking about love here. If you want to do something, please go home. Two big bosses want to see you."
But Catherine's sudden appearance spoiled the mood a bit.
"Not tactful."
"Okay, I'll tell that eighth-rank Salin elder right away. They're here to discuss the sail engine, and it seems they're finally willing to sell the technology."
".Hold on."
Lu Ping'an sighed, put down the empty cup, and prepared to go over.
Suddenly, Xia Qin came over, stretched out her slender hands, and helped him straighten his collar and tie.
"Thank you for your hard work. Can I comfort you at the old place later?"
"it is good."
Lu Ping'an was smiling happily. Although the two parties had already established a certain relationship, it was rare for them to be together for two consecutive days.
The main reason is not that Lu Ping'an is too busy, he is used to squeezing out time in his busy schedule, but Sister Xia Qin is too career-oriented, and most of the time she goes to work overtime after a short meeting.
She seemed to think that being together was a waste of time and that it would be enough to just meet up every once in a while. In a sense, this female man really hasn't changed at all, except that her methods of dealing with people and her appearance have become more sophisticated and mature.
That’s right, Lu Ping’an and Xia Qin are lovers, and it has been almost two years.
It was natural for them to be together. In his previous life, Lu Ping'an was a carnivore, and some things would not change after eating meat. And this time, it was just that he was not mature enough, and his life was in an unstable state, so he became temporarily conservative.
After he reaches the eighth level and his status and position are stable, and his life points are sufficient to extend his life for at least a hundred years, even if his parents do not urge him to get married, he will take the initiative to consider his physical needs in this regard.
".Hmph, you stinky man." The little woman, whose face turned red at Lu Ping'an's happy smile, also pretended to be tough and glared at him, but she was also a little happy about his infatuation with her.
After all, if Lu Ping'an wants a woman now, he has everything. As long as he opens his mouth, plenty of women who are younger and prettier than him will come to him.
Looking at Mr. Lu who walked over with a smile and discussed important matters in a low voice with the two elders, Xia Qin played with the wine glass, feeling a little happy and a little confused.
She couldn't help but think of the confession, or rather the oolong incident called confession, two years ago.
The relationship between the two has always been ambiguous, and Xia Qin also knows that Lu is not as honest as he appears to be. Naturally, some things are supposed to happen.
In a bar on a rainy night, a woman pretending to be drunk pestered a man who always pretended to be innocent. She complained, "I'm over 30 and I've never been in a relationship." Then, with her heart pounding, she got the answer the man had expected.
"Well, how about you consider me." Then, the man was pounced on by the "dead drunk" woman and taken away.
And then, of course, something happened.
The reason why it was called a oolong incident was that the big cat, which acted faster, had been squatting nearby and watching, eating melon seeds and pinching walnuts, watching the couple acting out and secretly recording the scene. The next day, each party tacitly did their own thing, as if nothing had happened, except that a certain cat was watching the video in the living room waiting for the two to come downstairs.
Well, back to the topic, Xia Qin puts her career first, and her life is filled with practice and work. However, Lu Ping'an, who is more self-indulgent, is not so honest outside of work.
However, in this life, he has become more focused and pursues love rather than lust. Although he still has casual affairs, he does not let those messy things enter his life, let alone his heart.
"Clap clap."
Patting her cheek, the woman came back to her senses. Why was she always being led by this bad man who pretended to be honest?
In a sense, Lu Ping'an was really the one being eaten by young girls, but only those who truly understood both sides knew that Lu Ping'an had always been the wolf pretending to be harmless.
"By the way, I also need to take this opportunity to discuss equipment updates with the government office, as well as the purchase and maintenance of surveillance cameras." She quickly turned her attention back to business, fearing she would be late for her date as usual.
Suddenly, she saw her man saying sorry to the big bosses and hurried over.
"how?"
"I almost forgot to give you a little gift."
As he spoke, the man leaned over and put a bronze headband with a dagger pattern on it around the woman's neck.
".This time I encountered a Rule-level who called himself the Evil God. His strength was average, but his bones were ground into sword-bone armor, which was quite useful."
"Can't you give me something romantic?"
The woman glared at him again in annoyance. She put the bone headband on her head just like that, even though it was a dinner party.
Be more romantic? Lu Pingan opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to respond. He really didn't expect that Captain Xia would say this.
"Snapped."
But with a snap of his fingers, the bronze bone ring turned into a colorful garland with roses inlaid all around, making the woman's face even more colorful.
At the same time, dots of color extend from the ends of the hair, making the hair color also become colorful.
There are more patterns on the clothes, and rose decorations appear on the shoulders and chest carvings, as if the whole person has turned into a flower fairy.
The woman smelled the fragrance of the flowers, felt the surprised or envious gazes around her, sniffed the rose, and smiled.
Lu Ping'an also laughed. Fortunately, we have practiced it before. This "wreath enchantment" is really a wonderful skill.
"Where did you learn this skill? You look very skilled. Do you use it often?" The woman's smile suddenly changed. It was too sunny and seemed a little dangerous.
"Uh, guess." Lu Ping'an would never lie.
"I guess you're a big-headed ghost!" Xia Qin, who fully understood someone's routine, became furious on the spot and kicked him directly.
So Lu Ping'an limped to discuss business with the bosses.
Well, the last chapter actually hinted at this. This is just a natural thing. It's a carnivorous person. He has grown up and become independent. He starts to eat grass around him. How did he get to the end of the book?
Well, time is accelerated because we can't win now, we have to wait two years
Well, the last book started with 800 orders, and I have written million and completed all the outlines. This achievement itself is not bad. At least I will finish all the contents as expected.
Well, this book has 395 million words, and it has indeed entered the second half, but there are at least two more volumes. It is only the eighth level now, and it will take at least tenth level to finish everything.
