Chapter 649 Cooperation Between Two Nations

• "I don't need you to have such a noble status, nor do I need you to have such a brilliant mind, and I don't need you to have extraordinary courage... Even if you can't do anything, and all you know is to eat, sleep, put on makeup, and dress up, wouldn't that be wonderful? In that case, you could always stay by my side, spend my money, and truly enjoy life."
• Nodding gently in Xavier's arms, Winnie said, "I understand what you mean, Xavier. I know what you're thinking. But Darling, this is who I am. Everything you just said you don't need is all the real me, a part of my body and life. Perhaps one day, I might want to be the woman behind you, but certainly not now. I don't want to be a mere decoration. In this one life I have, I hope it's interesting and wonderful. You must admit that the person you love has always been the complex, independent-minded me. If I weren't like this from the start, perhaps I wouldn't have attracted you at all."
• "Not at all," Xavier said with a laugh, giving Winnie a gentle kiss on the top of her head. "You had already caught my attention when you were still Dumbo."
