On the 60th day of the ceasefire between the Asian Union and Northern Mongolia, the president of the newly independent state announced at a regular press conference that the joint support forces will withdraw from the Mongolian border in batches.At the North American summit that followed, the acting president of the Asian Union was also invited to attend, and held the first meeting in recent years with the president of the newly independent state at the North American Capitol.

Since the newly independent state provided humanitarian assistance to Northern Mongolia, the seven-year-long semi-severance of diplomatic relations between the Asian Union and the newly independent state finally showed signs of stopping.

At first, the political circles and the media of various countries were not surprised, because in the fourth year after the economic exchanges between the two countries were completely suspended, the newly independent country had withdrawn its reinforcements, greatly reduced its aid, and began to release reconciliation aid to the Asian Union. signal of.

And half a month ago, people familiar with the situation had predicted the withdrawal plan of the newly independent state and the agenda of the tripartite talks.

What really aroused speculation from the outside world was a piece of specious news that came out simultaneously from the cabinet of the newly independent state and the Asian Union after the talks: a modern diplomatic marriage was about to take place between the two countries.

The newly independent state was once the largest overseas subsidiary state of the Asian Union. More than 20 years ago, the newly independent state voted for independence.Then, halfway through his term of office, the former president of the newly independent country ordered aid to Northern Mongolia, and the two countries entered a period of freezing again.

After the Asian Union Group Corporation headed by Zhaohua Energy made an emergency statement, it also gradually withdrew various industries in the newly independent country and moved to North America or other bordering countries around the newly independent country.

According to the news, one of the protagonists of the marriage is the heir of a certain chaebol in the Asian League, and the other is the son of a certain dignitary of the newly independent country.

After eliminating Zhaohua Energy, those who have good things made a matching table for the unmarried heirs of the major chaebols in the Asian League and all the sons of officials who ranked high in the political arena of the newly independent state, and gave various matching tables. The match index is marked.

The people of the two countries compared the tables and guessed happily until an authoritative media released the exclusive news that Zhaohua Group's No. IV business jet applied for the first direct flight from the Asian Alliance in several years to It was the aviation route of the newly independent country that people cast their unbelievable eyes on the army colonel who had not yet completed the application for retirement, Chen Boqiao, the heir of the Zhaohua Group.

In the next 24 hours, a group photo published in a local newspaper in the capital of North America last month brought Zhang Jue, the only son of the foreign minister of the newly independent country, into everyone's attention.

This is a charity dinner attended by Chen Boqiao in North America.

The photo showed the host family of the banquet, Chen Boqiao, and a young man with a handsome face.

The young man was wearing a black formal suit. He had fair skin and a handsome face. His hair was draped over his shoulders and the ends were slightly curled. He was only slightly shorter than Chen Boqiao, but his figure was much thinner.

Strictly speaking, the standing posture of the young man and Chen Boqiao is not particularly close, but the host of the banquet revealed in an interview that Chen Boqiao and the young man have been classmates for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary. Zhang Jue was actively invited to participate in the filming.

After the interview records of the host of the banquet were made public, some alumni of Chen Boqiao’s Roche College raised objections and posted graduation photos on social networks. Chen Boqiao was in the middle of the group photo, and Zhang Jue was on the far left. On the other hand, the two are far apart, and it is not possible to judge whether the relationship is good or not.

While everyone was arguing endlessly, Zhaohua Energy directly confirmed to the public through official channels that Zhang Jue was the object of Chen Boqiao's marriage.

This time the public was caught off guard. Some commentators asserted that when the photo was taken, Chen Boqiao’s invitation to take a photo with Zhang Jue was the initial signal of the thaw between the Asian Union and the newly independent state, and this ambiguous political marriage was the It is an olive branch extended by the acting president to the newly independent country.

Chen Boqiao sacrificed his marriage for the diplomatic relations of the Asian Union, which made many people in the Asian Union indignant.

Chen Boqiao's motivation for agreeing to this marriage has also sparked a lot of controversy.

Some people speculate that this is Chen Boqiao's surrender order sent to the acting president and the current government, a helpless compromise he made in order to successfully retire from active service and succeed Zhaohua Energy; No need to use the voice of a fame-seeker.

No matter what the facts are, the name Zhang Jue still occupied the front pages of news in various countries overnight.

Everyone began to discuss the reasons why Zhang Jue was selected, delved into Zhang Jue's family background and life, and finally came to the common and only conclusion that he was the only son of the foreign minister of the newly independent country, and his resume was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Although in the newly independent country, some people inevitably expressed their doubts in private, because from the new independent country to the Asian Union, no media dared to mention Zhang Jue's engagement experience, but these insiders also kept silent .

Amidst the divergent opinions, on March [-]th, on a sunny morning, the Gulfstream aircraft with the logo of Zhaohua Energy and the number IV still took off from the capital airport of the Asian Union.

Yu An is an accompanying reporter on Chen Boqiao's trip to the newly independent country to discuss wedding matters. He is from the International News Department of the Asia Associated Press.

When receiving the notice from the editor-in-chief, Yu An almost thought that he hadn't woken up yet. This was an opportunity that all young reporters in the league wanted.For this, Yu An made a lot of preparations, but the more he prepared, the less he understood why Chen Boqiao was willing to marry Zhang Jue.

Before Chen Zhaoyan's accident, Chen Boqiao also had few scandals. He was once photographed going out and out of public places alone with several well-matched sub-alien Omega, suspected of going on a blind date, but there was no further news.

From Yu An's point of view, Chen Boqiao was not the type who would compromise for the rumored retirement with additional conditions.

NO.17 In the morning, Yu An and the photographer arrived at the business terminal of Capital Airport by car.

The terminal building is not big. After the customs and border inspectors checked their passports and visas, they passed through. Assistant Chen Boqiao waited at the other end and took them into the lounge of Zhaohua Energy.

This was the first time Yu An saw Chen Boqiao.

Chen Boqiao was sitting on a single sofa near the screen in the lounge, wearing a well-fitting suit. When he saw Yu An coming in, he smiled and nodded.

Yu An looked at Chen Boqiao, rarely avoiding the eye contact with his familiar photographer partner.

After more than ten hours of flying, they landed at the outlying island airport of the newly independent country and went straight to the hotel where they stayed.

The Minister of Economy of the newly independent country came forward and gave Chen Boqiao a private reception, making the meeting look like a diplomatic meeting.

For some reason, Zhang Jue was wearing a soft and comfortable turtleneck sweater, with his hair loosely tied behind his neck, and sat quietly beside his parents.

He didn't say anything in the audience, and listened to Chen Boqiao talking with all parties with ease, negotiating the details of the wedding and Omega's naturalization.

Finally, Zhang Fu spoke and suggested that everyone take a break.

Zhang Jue seemed a little tired, approached Zhang Fu, and said something in a low voice.Zhang Fu nodded to him, Zhang Jue got up and walked out.

Yu An stood aside and sorted out the manuscript, and noticed Chen Boqiao's eyes turned towards the door. In less than half a minute, Chen Boqiao also stood up, buttoned the second button of his suit, and walked out steadily.

"They're all out," the photographer whispered to Yu Andao from the side, "Maybe Chen is here to demonstrate?"

Photography is a beta who loves gossip, and has his own theory about this marriage. He is afraid of being heard, so he speaks softly, but his tone is imitated very well: "I marry you, it doesn't mean I love you, it's just that My expedient."

"I'm going out to catch my breath." Yu An put down the script and said to the camera.Photography winked at him knowingly.

Yu An pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out slowly. He guessed the direction where Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue would go, bypassed the deep and long corridor, and came to the marble spiral staircase between the main building and the auxiliary building of the hotel nearby.

Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao were indeed there. They were standing face to face, chatting not too far apart, just like the distance in the photo, they looked like two people who had just known each other not long ago.

Yu An couldn't help thinking of the photographer's guess, and felt that the two of them might have something to say that others couldn't listen to, so he began to hesitate whether to leave or stay.

Before he made a decision, he suddenly saw Zhang Jue moving forward slowly and hesitantly, getting closer to Chen Boqiao, and Chen Boqiao raised his arm slightly.

For a moment, Yu An thought that Chen Boqiao was trying to push Zhang Jue away.

But Chen Boqiao just pulled Zhang Jue to him and asked Zhang Jue if he missed him.

Then, under the shining sunshine of early spring, in the shadow of the huge steel bars between the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel conference center, he slightly bent down and kissed Zhang Jue's lips.

Chen Boqiao wasn't eager to kiss, but the hand he clasped Zhang Jue's waist seemed to be firmly held, allowing Zhang Jue to cling to him, preventing Zhang Jue from retreating.

Yu An was surprised that he seemed to have broken through some secret, Fang wanted to back away, Chen Boqiao suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes penetrated half of the hallway, and looked at Yu An expressionlessly, the hand he put on Zhang Jue's back Moving slightly, Yu An saw the scar on his tiger's jaw and the small folds on Zhang Jue's sweater.

As soon as Chen Boqiao moved, Zhang Jue immediately opened his eyes. He looked up at Chen Boqiao in some confusion, his jaw and neck formed a beautiful line, his lips slightly moved away from Chen Boqiao, and asked him what was wrong. .

But Chen Boqiao didn't answer, didn't look at Yu An, and didn't look at anyone else, he sealed Zhang Jue's lips again, like all couples in love, he kissed Zhang Jue like no one else.
