Xiang Ying must admit that Audrey is a monster-level beauty, and she has a unique French style that oriental women don't have!
This kind of charm is irresistible to any man. Xiang Ying's psychological barrier is about to be broken several times.
But he finally endured it, and he gently pushed Audrey away, "I'm sorry! What happened before was a mistake between us. I'm sorry for you... Now I have an engaged lover, and I can't be sorry for her." !”
"Is she Special Envoy Cai Bixia? Is she your Navy Flower? I have seen her photos. She is very beautiful. I feel ashamed..." Audrey looked at Xiang Ying longingly.
"But I don't want to compete for her status? I will be your lover, and I don't even want the status of your Chinese concubine..."
"I am a devout Catholic. I will not violate the system of monogamy, but I can be your lover! God will forgive this. Isn't love the greatest?"
Xiang Ying was going crazy. He kept waving his hands, "I'm sorry, I can't do this! I can't be sorry to Cai Bixia. What happened before was already a mistake. I can't make more mistakes! Sorry, I have to leave..." "
Xiang Ying turned around and left, but before he reached the door of the terrace, Audrey sighed and said, "Tell me the truth! Is it because you don't love me anymore, or you don't have any feelings for me at all?"
"Or do you just think that I sent a message to Britain? Do you dislike me as a person or as an emissary? Look into my eyes, I want to listen to your true words..."
"Audrey... don't press me anymore..." Xiang Ying's eyes darted from side to side.
"No! I want an answer today. Have you ever liked me? I know you like me. Your eyes tell me the answer..."
"You actually want me. You just hate my status as a British emissary, right? It's that damn nasty politics that's interfering with us, right?"
"Dear! Why do you look at me like this? I'm not a frivolous prostitute. I won't use my body to blackmail you... I'm not as disgusting as you Oriental women!"
"As long as you have a little intimate relationship, you will keep blackmailing the other party and use this relationship to blackmail!"
"It's not about profit, it's about status, or it's about achieving a certain goal! That's not what I am like!"
"I just love you! Even if I am a secret emissary, I have no connection with us... Love is love, and politics is politics!"
"Don't leave, okay? Can you think of the two things separately! There is no connection at all... you love me, you like me!"
Xiang Ying completely collapsed. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted, but as an oriental man, he was wary of this kind of thing in his bones!
Is there such a thing as a free lunch? Blessings are caused by misfortunes, misfortunes are caused by blessings! Xiang Ying clung to the last bit of clarity on the coffin, struggling not to sink.
"Audrey...please don't force me...you are so beautiful and it would be a lie to say you can't be moved!"
"But I am a man and I have responsibilities!"
"I have a responsibility to my engaged wife, and I also have a responsibility to the Chinese people! The burden on my shoulders does not allow me to do this. Maybe you can't understand this sense of responsibility, this culture where public and private affairs are entangled without distinction!"
"But... this is the East! Home and country are not separated, and home and country are not separated! If I have a relationship with you, how will the Chinese people view me?"
"Even if I can uphold the justice of governing, no one will trust me anymore! This is Eastern philosophy, this is Eastern humanities!"
"The Tian family is selfless! You don't understand this sentence. Even the ancient monarchs knew about the selfless things of the Tian family, let alone those of us who do specific things?"
"You said you could tell the difference clearly, but I said you couldn't tell the difference!"
When Audrey saw that Xiang Ying was determined to leave, she lost her temper and said, "Why? Home is home, and country is country! They are originally separate, why should they be mixed together?"
"Does your love for me conflict with your love for this country?" Audrey asked.
"Is there no contradiction?" Xiang Ying asked rhetorically.
"Is there any conflict?"
"Is there no conflict?"
The two of them talked in the car, but neither could convince the other. Audrey was really impatient. "Patriotic, patriotic, patriotic! Who stopped you from being patriotic? Who asked you to shirk your responsibilities?"
"This time I came with peace. Isn't that a good thing? You Xiang Ying can bring peace to the Chinese people and avoid a conflict. Isn't this an expression of your patriotism? Isn't this a reflection of your responsibility?" "
"But you keep running away from me, you dodge me... I think you are a strict wife, you are just afraid of her!"
Xiang Ying's face darkened, "Don't talk about Cai Bixia like that! She is my wife...but you don't understand the feelings of family and country at all!"
"You said you brought me peace? But you force us Chinese to accept British business rules and give you business privileges!"
"Excuse me, are these privileges and rules harming the interests of the Chinese people?"
"I know very well what the UK wants. I studied in Europe! All the UK wants is to get the big head!"
"Under the distribution of commercial interests, if they take 70%, they will give 30% to the Chinese people, right? As long as I accept it, there will be peace, but why? Why can I, the Chinese people, only take 30%? ?”
"Isn't this enough?" Audrey asked puzzledly, "Don't you know that this is the most favorable treatment that Britain has given to the world?"
"Do you know how much people in India only get? Half of them are not available in Chengdu. They all maintain the lowest living standard. It is already very difficult to survive!"
"Xiang Ying! This world is inherently divided into classes. Even in Britain, there are beggars, thieves, and Oliver Twist!"
"This is the gap between rich and poor that humans cannot avoid! You can only do your best to reward the people as much as possible. This is your morality!"
"Isn't India living very well under British rule? Those princes are all very wealthy! Their wealth is among the best even in London, and even the British nobles dare not underestimate it!"
"The same goes for you. As long as the Chinese nobles and senior officials accept the British rules of the game, your wealth will be unlimited in the future!"
"Britain will open the door to global trade, allowing you all to enter and make more money!"
"When the time comes, you can even go to Africa, South America, Central Asia, the Middle East... and other backward countries to earn money. Then your wealth will be unlimited!"
"As long as you Chinese elites accept the British conditions...then your wealth will expand a thousand or ten thousand times compared to now!"
"Wait until you all get rich! Then why don't you give some rewards to the lower class people in China? Do some charity, increase your salary or something!"
"Isn't this bad? What's wrong with this?"
