Two days later, Gu Junwan returned with her entourage.
In the end, she signed separate contracts with Grand Duke Fry and the royal family.
The favorable policies and resources obtained by the Free Federation far exceeded her expectations.
To be honest, she hadn't anticipated that the two bigwigs would compete so fiercely.
Later, through so details, she realized that Grand Duke Fry was paving the way for Little Lott.
After all, with such a favor established today, how could she turn a blind eye if Fry Lott faced a crisis of survival in the future?
A parent's love for their child makes them plan far ahead.
...
Upon learning from the news that the Empress was returning to the country today, the gossip-loving public was excited.
Ever since the "Castle Gaze" broadcast appeared, countless people had been anticipating the follow-up.
Whether there were feelings of affection between the two, mouths might lie, but eyes wouldn't.
Fans who had been shipping the Empress with Guard C all along regarded the scene of the two facing each other in front of the Ksenrode Palace as a historic mont.
Now they were just waiting for an official announcent, waiting for the outco they most desired in their hearts.
And other citizens, not so gossip-oriented, influenced by the overall online atmosphere, also beca extrely curious about the Empress's love life.
Thus, people eagerly awaited the Empress's return to the country, like stars waiting for the moon.
That feeling was as if the couple would get married on the spot as soon as they got off the plane.
The news of reaching a deep cooperation with Ksenrode had already been reported back to the country.
The Federation's citizens were filled with excitent, all feeling elated about this.
The enhancent of comprehensive national strength would bring a significant improvent to people's living standards.
At Peace Airport in the capital of the Free Federation.
Multiple dia outlets had set up their cara positions early, eagerly waiting in the designated filming areas.
Among the mainstream dia, the Federation's Second Television Station had the most staff present.
At this ti, the Empress's private plane had not yet landed.
The familiar reporters began to chat casually.
A newspaper reporter, carrying a cara, strolled to the Second Television Station's area and greeted a middle-aged man: "Old Chen, you guys have been really busy lately."
"I admire the adjustnt in your approach these past two years. Let's not talk about ratings first, but your reputation now is remarkable. Share so experience, will you?"
The people present were all quick thinkers.
Hearing a newspaper colleague start the conversation, several other experienced reporters also chid in with questions.
"That's right, Old Chen, we're all dia brothers and sisters, give us so insight. How did you manage to capture the preferences of young viewers?"
"Do you have so expert guidance? Anyway, I don't believe in rumors of overnight success."
Being surrounded and questioned by so many colleagues gave the middle-aged man from the Second Television Station a great sense of satisfaction.
But he put on a mysterious expression, smiling without speaking.
He naturally couldn't tell everyone that the Second Television Station had stumbled upon footage of Shen Han protecting the Empress, which then started attracting many young viewers' attention.
After a few more colleagues joined the group chat, the middle-aged man finally spoke with a calm smile: "Oh, there aren't that many secrets in this world. So-called life hacks are just the result of accumulated efforts."
Hearing this, the smiles on his colleagues' faces beca sowhat forced.
They thought: If you don't want to say, then don't. Why speak in platitudes? We're all familiar here, is it necessary?
Just then, the middle-aged man from the Second Television Station continued: "Regardless of the industry, you can't be passive when working. Treating symptoms without addressing the root cause won't do."
"For example, we're all reporters covering important news, but so only stick to routine interactions with the Federation's Propaganda Departnt, while others establish connections with the Chief Secretary's team or even military departnts. These are all differences."
Hearing this, a young colleague exclaid softly: "Teacher Chen, you even know people from the Federation's Chief Secretary's team and the military?"
Seeing everyone in the entire filming area looking at him, Chen felt even more pleased.
He first slowly unscrewed the cap of his water bottle and took a sip, then waved his hands repeatedly: "I'd rather not say. Just assu I don't know them."
The crowd of colleagues: "..."
You! Won't you die if you don't show off?!
Just then, the Empress's private plane finally arrived.
A row of black bulletproof and explosion-proof limousines stopped at specific positions, with ard guards standing at attention on both sides of the boarding stairs connecting to the ground.
The cabin door opened, and the Empress, dressed in a light gray suit, was the first to walk out.
Her casual nine-tenths suit pants paired with ankle-strap high heels exuded both steadiness and an impressive aura, full of queenly charm.
The Empress's long hair wasn't tied up as usual, but draped lazily over her shoulders.
With skin as fair as moonlight, exquisite features without flaw, and a cool temperant radiating from within, she gave off an impression of nobility and aloofness.
Following closely behind from the cabin door were Xu Zhao and Shen Han.
Assistant Xu also wore a professional suit attire.
Carrying a briefcase, her expressionless face looked particularly capable.
To be fair, Xu Zhao's figure and appearance were also one in a thousand.
Her poised and graceful deanor was no less impressive than many popular female celebrities.
However, in places where the Empress was present, whether it was the sharp and efficient Xu Zhao or other beautiful and elegant won, they would all be overshadowed by the forr's radiance.
Except for Shen Han.
Although this valiant Alpha wasn't as stunning as the Empress, she had her own unique brilliance.
Beneath her harmless and gentle exterior lay the courage and insight for decisive action.
Her sharp edge was never directed at the weak; her blade was only wielded against the most vicious criminals.
Over more than two years, stories about Shen Han's experiences during various missions had spread widely among the public in fragnts of information of varying sizes.
Those legendary tales, tinged with adventure, had built her current reputation and popularity.
It was precisely because of this accumulation that gossip fans beca so excited when shipping her with the Empress.
Netizens wouldn't think that a re guard was overreaching by wanting to eat swan at.
They felt that only an Alpha like Shen Han, who was loyal, brave, and wholeheartedly protected the Empress, deserved to be the one to accompany her for life.
Now, watching Gu Junwan and Shen Han descend the red-carpeted boarding stairs one after another, all caras imdiately began to focus on the two of them.
Before any information was confird, no dostic dia would make wild speculations.
They only presented the proper joint appearances of the two through impartial news broadcasts.
While gaining traffic for themselves, they also left enough room for netizens to imagine freely.
Just as Gu Junwan was about to finish the stairs, the soreness in her legs caused her to stumble, almost missing a step.
Shen Han, who had been attentive to her wife's condition, reacted quickly.
She hurriedly stepped forward, gently supporting the other's elbow with her palm.
"Careful!"
The Alpha's concerned voice and that familiar warmth ca together, causing a tingling current to spread behind Gu Junwan's ears.
She turned her head slightly, giving a sowhat reproachful look at the Alpha, then steadied herself and continued walking towards the black limousine not far ahead.
The reason Gu Junwan experienced that small mishap just now was thanks to the insatiable Alpha behind her.
Last night, the Empress t with the official in charge of the energy project in the reception room of her suite.
The security team mbers and assistants were naturally also in the room, each performing their duties.
After the eting concluded, everyone left one after another.
Shen Han, however, lingered reluctantly, not wanting to leave, and was finally allowed to stay by the soft-hearted Gu Junwan.
Shen Han didn't know what had co over her lately.
When night fell, she habitually wanted to stay by her wife's side, and her self-control in certain aspects wasn't as strong as before.
At this mont, watching Gu Junwan turn and leave, recalling the way her eyes had flitted just now, Shen Han felt an uncontrollable itch in her heart again.
She composed herself, maintaining a serious expression on her face, and followed closely behind her wife into the sa executive car.
In the dia area, the reporters felt sowhat excited, but their expressions showed obvious disappointnt.
They had captured the mont of physical contact and the exchange of aningful glances between Shen Han and Gu Junwan earlier.
But none dared to use those images to stir up a big fuss on the internet.
Everyone knew well that the earlier footage of the guard reaching out to steady the Empress couldn't be openly broadcast.
...
In the evening, it was ti for the news broadcast on the Second Television Station.
Countless young viewers tuned in punctually.
Today was the day of the Empress's return from her visit abroad.
Even though people knew that the footage shown in the news broadcast would only be proper, standard scenes.
But what if?
What if they could see another beautiful interaction like the one from a few days ago?
Accompanied by the anchor's steady voice, Gu Junwan began descending the boarding stairs.
Suddenly, her figure swayed slightly, and Shen Han, following closely behind, quickly raised her arm to step forward.
Just as the CP fans were watching with sparkling eyes in anticipation, the scene that clearly had more to follow abruptly ended.
The cara switched to another location.
The gossip-hungry public was outraged!
Switch the cara back for us, do you hear?! What is there that we, good citizens, aren't allowed to see?
In the exclusive villa of Gu Junwan and Shen Han at Peace Palace.
"Wife, you said you'd give us a little vacation and that I could choose where we want to go. Let's discuss this tonight, shall we?"
Shen Han lay on the sofa, her head resting on Gu Junwan's crossed legs, bringing up the matter she had been thinking about.
Gu Junwan, of course, rembered what she had said.
But sensing the Alpha's eagerness, she wanted to tease her a bit.
She continued flipping through the magazine in her hand nonchalantly, her voice carrying a hint of well-placed confusion: "What little vacation? Was there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Shen Han nearly sprang up from the sofa.
She propped herself up on her elbows, forcibly wedging her head between Gu Junwan and the magazine.
Her innocent black eyes stared at her own reflection in those golden pupils up close, and she said: "The one you ntioned a couple of days ago when I suddenly went into my sensitive period. You even said you'd stay with
the whole ti and not go anywhere!"
Gu Junwan looked at the furry head squeezed into the crook of her arm, finding it quite amusing.
She put down the magazine in her hand and stroked the other's long hair cascading down her back, continuing to feign mory loss: "Could it be that you rembered wrong?"
Shen Han caught the playfulness in her wife's beautiful eyes.
She shifted her position slightly, 'imprisoning' Gu Junwan between herself and the back of the sofa.
"Did I rember wrong? Then I'll have to recall the situation at that ti carefully."
With that, Shen Han tilted her head and began nibbling on Gu Junwan's neck.
An Oga's neck is naturally sensitive, and being teased like this by her Alpha while pressed against the sofa, it didn't take long for her breathing to beco unsteady.
She weakly pushed at the Alpha clinging to her, her voice coming out soft and gentle: "Don't... don't leave marks on my neck."
"We still have to have dinner with mother tomorrow."
Shen Han hugged her, brushing her lips against the Oga's heated earlobe: "Mm, don't worry, I'll only leave them where others can't see."
