Nancy's car, the one she had just ridden in with the Queen, was still parked behind her.
The Queen kept calling out to Nancy beside the car, but Nancy never looked back. She ran toward Jiang Siming with unwavering determination.
When she finally reached him, she had nearly tripped several times on the hem of her princess dress along the way.
But just as she reached Jiang Siming, perhaps because she had relaxed too much, she stepped on it for real and fell straight into his arms.
Although it had been an accident, Nancy tightly wrapped her arms around Jiang Siming.
"Jiang, will you take me with you? Please."
Nancy's eyes were still red as she pleaded into Jiang Siming's ear.
Jiang Siming was moved. He hesitated for only a second before carrying Nancy into the car and climbing in after her.
Looking back, he saw the Queen shouting something with an ashen expression.
Jiang Siming had actually heard her. She was telling him to get Nancy out of the car and not take her away.
But Jiang Siming acted as though he had heard nothing. He even waved at the Queen before ducking into the car and closing the door.
"Take us to the airport," Jiang Siming told the guard behind the wheel.
The guard hesitated. "Mr. Jiang, wouldn't that be a little inappropriate?"
Jiang Siming replied, "It's fine. I'll take responsibility if anything happens. Just drive. I'm ordering you to."
"Yes, sir!" The guard stopped hesitating, started the car, and quickly drove away.
They had barely left when Number One emerged with a crowd of influential figures.
The King of Sweden happened to witness the scene and immediately hurriedly said to Number One, "That young man has gone too far. He openly took my daughter away."
