Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 251: It’s so beautiful tonight (2)

Ning Hua nodded: "Well, I'll wait for you to come back."

The commander acted decisively and came back as soon as he said he would. He quickly finished his business with the Eastern Union System and set out on his journey back to the Leeds System...

The commander's return to the Leeds galaxy was another grand occasion. Officials from Congress and the cabinet lined up early at the gate of the military camp to greet him, waiting for their commander to return with his troops.

In addition to the business contracts they had previously drafted, the commander also brought back many new cooperation projects, as well as preferential terms and regulations for the Leeds system.

After returning from a long journey and signing the latest peace treaty with the Eastern Union System, the commander naturally had to attend a celebration and welcoming party held for him on the first night of his return journey.

He had been doing these dinner parties and official duties for hundreds of years. Besides being very familiar with them, they were also very boring. They were all formalities to go through and polite words to say. After he finished speaking and going through the formalities, he especially wanted to go back "home", back to the "home" where Ning Hua was, back to the mansion that he missed, to see his sweetheart and express his deep longing for her.

He met official after official with a standard commander's smile, listened to their congratulations, clinked glasses with them, or took a few sips of red wine.

Lu Xiu looked at his watch. It was already very late. When he returned to the mansion, Ning Hua would probably be asleep. If he wanted to see her warm eyes and smile, he would have to wait until tomorrow...

He sighed with regret, but the officials around him thought he had said something wrong and kept apologizing in a low voice. Lu Xiu didn't hear what the people around him had just said, but as a commander, it was only others who said something wrong, how could he not hear it because he was distracted? Lu Xiu said "hmm" coldly, turned around and walked away, leaving the official who "said the wrong thing" to reflect on the spot, sweating profusely...

The surprise came unexpectedly. The commander, who was bored and anxious to return home as soon as possible, saw the beauty he had been missing for more than a month when he turned around inadvertently.

The beauty came slowly in a golden evening gown, followed by a small group of neatly groomed guards, led by Corey.

Lu Xiu showed his first sincere smile tonight. He handed the wine glass to the person next to him and strode towards Ning Hua.

After Ning Hua came in, she stood not far from the door of the hall. Kori stepped forward and said to her, "Your Highness is here."

Ning Hua looked in the direction where Kori's hand was raised, and the prince who belonged to her was coming over.

Lu Xiu walked very quickly, with a handsome and surprised smile on his face, which made Ning Hua couldn't help but smile as well.

Lu Xiu walked over, nodded to Kou Li, and then took Ning Hua's hand.

Corey saluted the commander with a broad smile on his face. He knew that after tonight, His Highness would be even more satisfied with him...

After handing Ning Hua over to the commander, Corey automatically disappeared to an inconspicuous place in the venue, fulfilling his duty as a dedicated soldier and escorting the commander's dinner.

Lu Xiu held Ning Hua's hand and walked towards the dining table, whispering as he walked: "Ning Hua, you are so beautiful tonight..."

After hearing this, Ning Hua smiled shyly, just as Lu Xiu imagined: "There are so many people here..."
