Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: Wang Cuixia Returns
After Xu Ke finished speaking, he hung up the phone, while Xiao Keyi, looking at the disconnected call, felt a bit sulky. However, Xu Ke was handling official matters, and she couldn’t disturb him, so despite her jealousy, she held it in.
She checked the time on her phone; it was already past five in the afternoon. She didn’t expect that the flight, which arrived at two-something, would be delayed for three whole hours.
But, at last, it had arrived. Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that every problem had a solution, and even though it was a bit late, it was no big deal.
He hadn’t seen Wang Cuixia for a long time, and he wasn’t sure how to face her. However, it would be somewhat awkward for them both if they were to meet, so Xu Ke adjusted his mood a bit, so as not to appear too disheveled.
As he walked over, Wang Cuixia had already deplaned and was heading toward the exit where Xu Ke was waiting. Though he tried to keep a low profile, dressed in just a black trench coat, he still stood out elegantly among the crowd.
In fact, many young ladies noticed him.
"Wow, that guy over there is really handsome. Who could he be waiting for? Could it be his girlfriend? Whoever is his girlfriend is really lucky. I’m a bit envious," one said.
"Yeah, and he’s so tall. I’ve never seen anyone so handsome. Let’s not leave yet; let’s wait and see what his girlfriend looks like," another commented.
These people were gossiping intently, eager to see what kind of beauty could be the girlfriend of such a handsome man, and some were even a bit expectant.
"Why do I feel like he looks familiar?"
"I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t said it, but now that you mention it, I think he attended an entrepreneurial conference once. He’s the president of a Xiao Group branch."
"Damn, I just remembered, that’s the most controversial president, Xu Ke! And I heard he’s particularly handsome; even in photos, he leaves people stunned. But now seeing him in person, it’s even more unbelievable."
Especially seeing Xu Ke so focused at the moment, those people each took out their phones again.
Xiao Keyi had put down her phone temporarily, but when she picked it up again, the news push unexpectedly was: "The young president, looking so focused, could he be waiting for his girlfriend? The gentle smile on his face is truly enviable. How many young women will be heartbroken?"
As soon as Xiao Keyi saw this headline, along with the photos, her mood instantly sank.
Impossible. Xu Ke had clearly told her he was going to surprise her, so it shouldn’t be his girlfriend. And although the two hadn’t publicly confessed, it was already tacitly understood between them.
Even though the news kept coming in, Xiao Keyi kept telling herself not to believe what she read; otherwise, Xu Ke might get angry.
Meanwhile, Wang Cuixia was beside herself with excitement. After getting off the plane, she asked Uncle Li to get the luggage, and she hurriedly ran towards the exit.
She thought she’d have to search for a long time, but when she spotted the most conspicuous person in the crowd, tears immediately welled up. She hadn’t seen her son in so long, and he had grown so well!
But as Wang Cuixia saw Xu Ke’s face, it increasingly resembled that of the person she remembered.
Uncle Li rushed to catch up from behind and, seeing Wang Cuixia continue to stare foolishly, nudged her with his elbow: "What’s wrong? Isn’t he right there? Why not go over? Are you afraid he won’t welcome you? You’ve become very pretty now; don’t worry, he definitely won’t mind. Besides, he’s your son."
"Even though you didn’t say anything when you were abroad, I could tell you missed him a lot. Now that’s he’s finally here, could you bear to keep him waiting?"
Hearing this, Wang Cuixia quickened her pace, and Xu Ke hadn’t noticed at first but then saw a beautiful lady rushing towards him.
And this urgency, it seemed...
But it was absolutely impossible; although Wang Cuixia’s features were beautiful, the dark complexion he remembered couldn’t compare to what he saw now.
So Xu Ke thought it couldn’t be possible and his gaze wandered behind her, but unexpectedly, the beautiful lady came straight at him and even hugged his waist.
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and looked down to see that it was the outstanding lady from before.
"Uh, maybe you have the wrong person..."
Just as Xu Ke said this, the lady suddenly froze, looked up with tearful eyes, and said, "Ke’er, I’m your mother. Don’t you recognize me? It’s true I’ve changed a lot after going abroad, so it’s understandable if you don’t recognize me. I don’t blame you."
Xu Ke felt as if he were struck by lightning. Wang Cuixia now seemed at least twenty years younger. If someone said she and Xiao Keyi were sisters, no one would doubt it.
And the transformation was so significant that it was like she was a different person. Not just him; anyone else would hardly believe it either.
Seeing her son’s disbelief, Wang Cuixia felt a bit disappointed.
However, Uncle Li hadn’t changed much, apart from looking slightly younger, he was still recognizable.
"Mom, Uncle Li!"
With Xu Ke’s call, Wang Cuixia stopped crying.
"I’ve missed you so much; you have no idea how much your mother missed you when she went abroad. But now, we’ve finally reunited as mother and son."
Seeing Wang Cuixia so emotional, Xu Ke finally recognized her, but he had to first help settle the two of them.
"This isn’t the place to talk, with people coming and going. Let’s get in the car first and talk later."
After saying this, Xu Ke took the luggage from Uncle Li’s hands.
Uncle Li felt particularly uncomfortable: "This is my job anyway. How can I let you do it? Young master, let me handle it. Besides, you’ve just recovered; carrying heavy things might not be good for you. I can manage these bags."
Uncle Li said this while trying to grab the suitcase from Xu Ke’s hands. Xu Ke stopped him and turned to look at Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, don’t worry. I used to be sickly, but now I’m fine. Besides, you’ve taken care of me for so many years, what’s wrong with me fetching some luggage for you?"
With that, Xu Ke lifted the luggage, and Uncle Li was still a bit embarrassed, but Wang Cuixia smiled. It seemed their son had indeed grown up and knew how to be considerate.
"Alright, let him carry it if he wants to help. Besides, this young man looks strong and healthy now, without any problem."
Hearing Wang Cuixia say this, Uncle Li didn’t insist further.
"Young master looks much better now. Even I can see he’s been doing well these days."
