Chapter 33
Dear passengers:
The plane has landed at Qizhou Airport and is currently taxiing. For your safety and that of fellow passengers, please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened and refrain from standing, moving around, or opening overhead compartments.
As the planes announcement echoed, Chu Qingchan slowly opened her eyes. Glancing to the side, she found that annoying man still looking at her.
Miss, the plane has landed. Would you like to join me for afternoon tea?
A handsome young man in his twenties flashed a confident smile at her.
No, Im married.
Chu Qingchan casually replied without even turning her head, then took off her headphones and put them in the box.
Is your husband picking you up?
Hes busy; he probably wont come.
Let me help you with your luggage.
No thanks. Chu Qingchan was starting to feel annoyed.
This guy has been bothering her since they boarded the plane. Even though she wore a mask and didnt say anything strange, he continuously showcased his supposedly superior conditions. His watch would occasionally be exposed, but she had no understanding of watches.
However, she knew about clothes. This IXFK jacket clearly looked fake; the embroidered label on the cuff appeared to be white thread, but upon closer inspection, there was a thread of gold interwoven.
Most people wouldnt notice, and even if they did, it wouldnt matter because that thread was a special gold thread. Regular gold threads couldnt achieve that effect.
So, this outfit likely belonged to someone pretending to be a wealthy second-generation guy trying to attract girls.
He spent some money, though. The shoes were high-quality imitations, the pants were genuine and cost over $2,000, but the cologne gave him away.
Its a scent from TK, the Subtle Harmony, the cheapest one inside, available for 450. Although she isnt fond of wearing perfume because she is in the entertainment industry, she has done some research on it.
Even if he is genuinely wealthy, she doesnt care about money. Though she has never lacked spending money since childhood, she never spent it recklessly. It wasnt until she became a star that she started buying some more expensive clothes.
But this time, she forgot to buy Xu Lin a gift. She could get something in Qizhou to bring back, but would that be too perfunctory?
No, that guy was perfunctory with me. I was just testing him; I never intended for him to come.
The exam ends at 12, and even if he doesnt take a break or eat, coming immediately, or pre-booking a bus, it would still take him four hours to come. And hed have to go from the bus station to the airport.
But I didnt expect him to reject it so directly. That guy really doesnt understand girls. No wonder he still doesnt have a girlfriend. Such a rookie.
Seeing Chu Qingchan lost in thought and ignoring him, the young man beside her sighed. This one truly is an ice beauty.
But hes encountered many acting reserved like this. After getting off the plane, I still have a killer move, right?
After a few more minutes, the broadcast echoed again.
Dear passengers:
The plane has come to a complete stop. Please unfasten your seatbelts, organise, and confirm your belongings.
Thank you for flying with XXX Airlines. We look forward to our next encounter.
Chu Qingchan stood up, opened the overhead compartment, and the man beside her stood up too. Let me handle it.
I just have one bag. She took a small backpack from above and slung it over her shoulder, walking away.
The young man watched Chu Qingchan walk away, took a deep breath of the air in front of him, and murmured, Fragrant, she must be a beauty!
Although she always wore a mask, with that aura and figure, she couldnt be anything but beautiful. He must give it a try.
Having a husband means nothing. As long as the hoe is wielded well, no corner is unbreakable! He squinted his eyes, adjusted his imitation jacket, and followed.
Chu Qingchan left the airport, where many buses and taxis were available. She planned to casually hail a taxi and then go to the mall to buy gifts for Xu Lin and her aunt and uncle.
Searching on her phone, she found a newly opened mall a few kilometres from the airport. It wasnt a large chain store, but it wasnt small either.
Miss, where are you headed?
Could you please stop following me?
Miss, I apologize. I can tell youre not a local. Im a local, and if you have any issues, maybe I can help.
The young man seemed oblivious to the disdain in her tone, continuing to speak softly. However, it sent shivers down her spine.
If you continue, Ill call the police and report you for harassment.
Sorry, sorry. But my friend is coming to pick me up. Where are you heading? I can give you a ride. Oh, my friends car is here.
He pointed to a nearby black Mercedes-Benz, his tone becoming more excited. Chu Qingchan didnt even raise an eyelid.
No need.
Chu Qingchan waved her hand dismissively, walking forward with disgust. After a couple of steps, a figure waved at her from a short distance.
She quickly took off her sunglasses, rubbed her eyes, and froze as if something unimaginable had happened.
The young man nearby, seeing her stop, thought she was still captivated by his charm.
But the next second, she abruptly started jogging in short, quick steps, then opened her arms and dove straight into the embrace of a man!
His eyes widened, and his mouth hung half open in disbelief. What She
He scrutinised the man, wearing an ordinary sports jacket worth a few hundred and shoes that cost just as much.
He looks young; could he be a college student? Haha, he might as well use his hoe to dig his own grave!
On the other side, Chu Qingchan leaned into Xu Lin, feeling his warmth. They didnt exchange a word, but tears streamed down her face.
So passionate? Youre crying; your image is ruined. Xu Lins teasing voice echoed in her ear, and she smacked him on the back.
Ah! Why so ruthless? Xu Lin laughed helplessly.
I just finished classes, changed clothes at home, and came straight here. And you hit me.
I didnt ask you to come! Hmph!
Chu Qingchan punched him again, but it was gentler, and her tone turned playful, leaving Xu Lin looking amused.
Are you possessed or something?
Do I have to tread on you with a poker face for you to be happy? So, youre an M, huh?
Whats an M? Clothing size? Im still just a kid.
Xu Lin, stretch your arms and hug me.
Why?
Are you still a man? Youve ruined my moment. She gave him a cold glare.
Right, this is more like you.
Just as she was about to release her arms, Xu Lin suddenly pulled her back, taking the initiative to hug her.
I can hug you willingly. He stared into her eyes, saw his face reflected in hers, and Chu Qingchan saw herself in his eyes.
As his watch ticked away seconds, Chu Qingchans body shivered slightly, and Xu Lin also swallowed a gulp of air.
Many people around started paying attention, but Xu Lin resisted the urge, intending to step back. However, the next second, red lips directly pressed against his.
Before he could register what happened, it had already been withdrawn. He was left dumbfounded, and Chu Qingchan squinted.
I won, little devil. After saying this, before others could notice her face, she casually pulled up her mask.
But Xu Lin also saw a young man not far away, standing there with a hint of jealousy in his awkwardness. He whispered, Whats going on with that guy?
You want to impress me, husband? What do you think we should do?
Cough, are you using me as a shield? Xu Lin instantly caught on.
Yeah, take this. From now on, its up to you.
What? Xu Lin felt a discreet shake of her wrist, and a rigid card was slipped into his pocketa credit card?
Phew fine, since youve given me this opportunity, Ill experience the legendary protagonist privilege a bitplay the tiger disguised as a pig! No, play the tiger eating the pig!
