Chapter 708: Chapter 712: The Only Obsession

He had served the country for over three years, been an undercover operative for over two years. Over six years of a career dedicated to defending his home and nation, he owed nobody anything, least of all the country he had served and the uniform he wore.

Having completed his undercover assignment, he was no longer the same person as before, unable to fulfill his previous roles.

Taking off that uniform was a decision he had contemplated for a while.

Despite the regret in his heart, he still had dreams, he still harbored hope.

His dream and hope were embodied in Ye Xingbei.

But now…

“Not career transition?” Gu Junzhu frowned slightly. “You have received a special distinction medal, the state will definitely assign you to a suitable department, the position will not be bad either, especially for those who have been undercover, the treatment will be even better. Didn’t they arrange anything for you?”

“They did,” Duan Yanbing chuckled. “But I turned it down.”

He turned to look at Ye Xingbei, his smile even brighter. “I owe Beibei a life. I told her when I left two years ago that I would come back to repay her life-saving grace. So, I turned down the position my superiors had arranged for me and came back to be Beibei’s bodyguard.”

In reality, he wanted to marry her.

But now, he lost that opportunity.

However, he needed some excuse to stay by Beibei’s side.

Being Beibei’s bodyguard seemed to be the best choice now.

Ye Xingbei quickly said: “Yanbing, you don’t have to do this. You should accept the job that your leader has arranged for you. How could you turn down such a good opportunity? I don’t need your repay, go back to your leader now and tell him you’re willing to accept their arrangement. Is it still not too late?’
