For the two of them, being able to run into each other was both unexpected and delightful. However, in the eyes of those protecting the old commander, Jiang Xue's appearance was filled with vigilance.
They looked at Jiang Xue with open rejection, as if her encounter with the old commander had some ulterior motive. Fortunately, Jiang Xue had a big heart and simply ignored their looks.
Besides, she hadn't planned on chatting with the old commander anyway. So after greeting him, she intended to leave. Unexpectedly, the old commander called out to stop her, saying, "Miss Jiang, it's rare that fate brings us together. Why don't you sit down and keep me company for a while?"
Jiang Xue hesitated a little, but seeing the earnest look on the old commander's face, she finally nodded and walked toward the chair he was sitting on.
She hadn't even reached the chair when those people protecting the old commander blocked her way, clearly not allowing her to approach.
