The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Chapter 346 I will never go back to be a commander.

She reached into her pocket, took out the handful of candy the old lady had given her, and handed it to He Li.

He Li couldn't see what she was holding at first, but he quickly reached out and caught it, and then realized it was a handful of old-fashioned candies.

He looked at Ji Ran with some surprise.

"Professor Ji, this..."

Ji Ran explained, "When I went to He Yanchen's hometown to dig for things, the neighbor lady thought I was his child, so she gave it to me."

He Li was taken aback, a warm feeling flowing through his heart. He never thought that he would be able to enjoy some sweetness because of his father in his lifetime.

Seeing that he was too moved to speak, Ji Ran stopped looking at him and turned to leave. But before she turned, she snatched two more candies from his hands, shamelessly tossing out a remark.

"As a delivery fee."

With that, she turned and got into the car.

"Professor Ji!" He Li called out to her again from behind.

Ji Ran turned his head inexplicably, his brows furrowed with impatience.

"No need for thanks."

He Li stuffed the candy into his pocket, then took two steps forward somewhat embarrassed.

"No... I... have a question I'd like to ask you."

"What is it?" Ji Ran asked directly.

But He Li lowered his head, as if he had mentally prepared himself.

Qi Mu's internal alarm bells rang. He immediately stepped in front of Ji Ran and stared warily at He Li.

That damn brat, could he be having feelings for Ranran? After all, they're about the same age...

Ji Ran was startled by the wall that suddenly appeared in front of her, which had been causing her confusion about He Li.

Why did this man suddenly intervene? Does He Li intend to harm me?

She didn't sense any hostility from the other person. Could it be that she misjudged them?

However, she couldn't ignore Qi Mu when observing the other person, since Qi Mu was invisible to the other person.

He Li raised his head again, his eyes showing more courage.

A dangerous glint appeared in Qi Mu's eyes.

"Can you...see Commander Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran froze, completely unable to believe that the other party had asked such an outrageous question.

Qi Mu was also taken aback, quite puzzled.

"What...do you mean?" Ji Ran asked Qi Mu without moving.

He Li stared at Ji Ran's clear, beautiful eyes, but found that they didn't meet his gaze. After a moment of confusion, a guess that sent chills down his spine came to him.

"Commander Qi... is he... here right now?"

His voice was visibly trembling.

Ji Ran stared in surprise, but still couldn't meet the other person's gaze. It was as if he couldn't see He Li. Instead, he raised his eyes, as if he were looking at the tall 'person' in front of him.

What are you trying to say?

Seeing that the other party had made some discoveries, she neither admitted nor denied them. Instead, she went straight to the point to see what the other party wanted to do. Could it be that he thought his father died young because of Qi Mu, so he wanted to settle accounts with Qi Mu?

Thinking this, she didn't care about anything else and immediately grabbed Qi Mu's hand, forcefully pulling him behind her.

He Li watched her every move, his rationality trembling, yet his gaze remained firm.

"I... I've been following your research project, Professor Ji. I know... Commander Qi might very well be resurrected..."

I just wanted to tell him... that I was willing to follow in my father's footsteps and continue to follow him.

As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Ran froze instantly, and even Qi Mu's expression froze for a moment.

"I have inherited my father's loyalty, so please rest assured, Commander Qi," he added, his voice becoming even more resolute.

Ji Ran noticed that although he was staring at her, his tone of voice didn't seem to be asking her to relay his words; rather, it sounded like he was speaking directly to Qi Mu.

"Are you... alright?" she managed to utter after a long pause.

Moreover, Qi Mu only wanted to be resurrected, but it didn't say that he would become a leader again after being resurrected. What is he going to follow?

and many more……

She only realized it at that moment.

Yes, after Qi Mu's resurrection, he still needs other aspects of his life besides himself. He was once the supreme ruler in the eyes of the people, a warrior who shed his blood to protect China...

This is his belief, and he probably wants to go back to his former position.

Although she was willing to support him for the rest of his life, she was also unwilling to become a stumbling block for him if he wanted to pursue his own life.

But I still feel a little down...

Seeing that his girl's mood had suddenly turned somber, Qi Mu glanced at He Li and spoke gently.

"Ranran, let's go back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran looked up, interrupting He Li, who was about to say something more.

"Stop daydreaming, just do what you're supposed to do."

Without pausing, she turned and got into the car, then sped off.

He Li watched the luxury car disappear from sight in a flash and sighed.

He knew he must have guessed correctly, and that Commander Qi must have heard what he said.

Although He Li is young, he is exceptionally talented and has already been working in the central government. He reads documents, observes people's hearts, and judges the situation every day. He is born with the ability to navigate power struggles that others may need to spend ten years to understand.

Therefore, he could see better than anyone else that Luo Yesheng had long since changed his original intentions. Perhaps he was a good leader in the past, but now he seemed to be trying to play the role of a good leader.

Every speech he gave was like a meticulously choreographed play, treating the people as bargaining chips and China as his private tool.

Since Qi Tongling can be resurrected, it proves that Heaven intends for this world to change. He will surely uphold his father's will, support a wise ruler, and safeguard the soul of the nation.

Ji Ran was driving when she remembered the navigation system and set the hospital as her destination.

Qi Mu watched her pouting, looking rather uninterested from the passenger seat.

This silly boy always likes to imagine bad things happening to himself, then sulk and make him guess.

"I will not go back to be a commander."

Ji Ran was taken aback, not expecting him to suddenly say something like that.

"But you clearly..."

As she spoke, she pouted again, selfishly not wanting to say a few more words.

But he had clearly done a good job before, and he should have done it. What right did she have to interfere with his beliefs? And what right did she have to cause China to lose a good leader?

“I don’t like it.” Qi Mu continued her words, “Before, I was only born into the Qi family, a family of founding generals. From birth, I was destined to walk this path and dedicate my life to the Qi family’s ancestral business.”

Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat; she felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing these words.

Qi Mu continued speaking.

"I received this kind of education and was burdened with this mission since I was a child, so I had no choice but to do it. Besides, I didn't have any other ideals anyway."

However, I am no longer born into the Qi family; I am born into the legacy of Ji Ran's achievements.

I am no longer Qi Mu of the Qi family, but merely Qi Mu of Ji Ran.
