Anger was prominent on John's face as he sat in the helicopter.
Nina shivered as she raised her head and looked at John. "Honey, wait for me to bring them back here."
The people below saw a nimble and agile silhouette of a gallant woman. It seemed she was descending from the sky. Her roughly tied hair swayed in the wind, and her unbound strands of hair swept through her face.
When she was less than half a meter away from the ground, Nina jumped and landed gently to the ground.
She glanced at the crowd around her and spotted James and Emma. She walked toward them.
When Nina passed by Alice, she heard a man whisper, "That is Nina Lu, Mr. Shi's wife, the princess of C Island and the campus belle of L University. She's a famous painter. Her artworks cost a pretty penny.
She is one of Emma's friends. Just pray that Emma doesn't mention you, Alice, or there will be hell to pay."
The man clicked his tongue. He did not dare think about the consequences.
Nina slowed down and gave a sharp and stern glance at Alice.
When Alice heard that, her temples began to throb in pain. She raised her head and met Nina's eyes. Nina's cold gaze made Al
forward steadily. Some of the moving air went into Nina's mouth.
It made her choke.
John pulled her up and held her in his arms. "Next time, tell me what you're going to do before you do it."
It took a few seconds for Nina to recover. "I'm sorry. I won't make you worry like that again."
"Okay." John caressed her waist and let her go.
The S-76 was an all-weather, civil transportation helicopter. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. It could accommodate 12 people at most.
Emma changed into the dress Nina prepared for her. She then cleaned her face with a wet towel. She looked much better, but her fatigue was still so obvious.
She was up all night. She was sleepy.
When Emma saw John, she bowed and nodded to express her gratitude. "Uncle John…"
This was the first time that Emma had called him like that.
"Hello, Emma," John calmly greeted.
"Honey, what did you say just now?" James got excited upon hearing how Emma greeted John. He even introduced Nina to Emma without thinking. "This is Aunt Nina."
Nina slapped James' head.
'Is he crazy? He
even let one of my good friends call me Auntie?' Nina thought with fury.
