บท 524: "We are getting married tomorrow, Lover"

12:30;

Xi Yuan drove in silence, as the girl made some phone calls. Most of them, to the Military Chief Office and the Hybrids. He did not mind her work, of course. She was going to rejoin the MCO shortly after their wedding, nonetheless. That was the plan. What worried him still was the fatigue across her face. She seemed alright, she really did. Then why was he worrying so much? He didn't know himself. 

It was certainly not due to the attack last night, of that he was sure. He had been feeling this darkness creep up to him for weeks now. Maybe because of the wedding preparations, he convinced himself. 

"Hey, you.", the girl turned to her darling, smiling at him softly, "What's on your mind?"

Xi Yuan shook his head, "Nothing much. Everything alright at work?"

"Yeah. Abram needed another 100 Million USD extorted from Country X. I was making arrangements for that.", Rong Xinghe explained.

"Oh.", the man said, his eyes on the road.
