Qu Xiao collected the registration card in the airport lounge, took a photo, and sent it to Shang Yan. Then, she looked for Lei Qiming’s location.
In the lounge corner, Lei Qiming, who was wearing sunglasses and dressed fashionably, saw Qu Xiao and waved at her.
Qu Xiao almost couldn’t believe her eyes. She slowed her pace and came before him to size him up and down. She gave him a thumbs up in admiration. “You’re completely different from what I imagined.”
Lei Qiming took off his sunglasses, tidied up the collar of his flowery shirt, and fiddled with his styled hair, which used two bottles of styling spray.
“I heard that there are a lot of my fans at the Overseas Forum. I can’t possibly meet them with a sloppy image, right?”
!!
Lei Qiming muttered to himself proudly. Qu Xiao could not help but smile and nod cooperatively. When they heard the boarding hint, they headed to the check-in gate.
Because the school arranged the schedule, they took the economy class for their flight, and the hotel they were going to stay in was also an economy-type chain hotel.
Qu Xiao and Lei Qiming were seated relatively at the back. They arranged their luggage properly and turned on their tablets to discuss the project content.
The flight attendant began the in-flight announcement. And there was an empty seat next to Qu Xiao.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen, passengers. Hello. Welcome to this flight, flying to N City…”
Qu Xiao adjusted the back of her seat. From the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure appearing in front and slowly walking toward her.
“He’s so handsome! I wonder if he has a girlfriend?”
“If you like him, go and ask for his contact information!”
The girls in the front row covered their mouths in excitement and could not control their tone as they discussed.
Shang Yan held a bouquet of sunflowers and champagne roses in his hands and stopped at the empty seat next to Qu Xiao. He took out the ticket, handed it to Qu Xiao, and asked, “Can you help me check if my seat is here?”
Qu Xiao was so shocked that she could not speak. She seemed to be able to hear her heart beating violently.
The two girls in front were extremely disappointed. They regained their composure and pushed each other.
They seemed to be embarrassed by their disorganized behavior just now.
The flight attendant reminded them that the plane was about to take off. Shang Yan placed the bouquet in Qu Xiao’s arms and nodded to Lei Qiming after he sat down.
“Why are you here!”
Qu Xiao had asked about Shang Yan’s recent schedule in advance. At this moment, he should be sitting in the Shang Group’s meeting room and having a video conference with the managers of the overseas branch!
Shang Yan’s shoulder was sore. He leaned his head on Qu Xiao’s shoulder and said in a coquettish manner, “I want to accompany my wife on a business trip, so I informed them to have an early meeting at the last minute. And I arranged everything that required my settlement on my way to the airport.”
“I almost missed the plane.”
Shang Yan had stayed up for two to three whole nights for today’s surprise. Right now, he was pretty tired.
Qu Xiao was so touched that she felt as if her heart had melted into a pool of water. She adjusted her sitting posture so that Shang Yan could comfortably lean on her.
The two of them leaned against each other and fell asleep. Lei Qiming leaned against the plane’s window and even started breathing carefully for fear of waking this loving couple up.
The long-distance flight landed. Shang Yan helped Qu Xiao collect her luggage and held her hand as they walked out.
The driver and the MPV, prepared in advance, had been waiting for a long time. Lei Qiming followed them awkwardly. When he saw the street scene outside the window, he lowered his head and looked at the navigation route with confusion. He held it in for ten minutes before finally asking, “Did we deviate from the route?”
Shang Yan explained with a chuckle, “I helped you guys rearrange the hotel.”
It was indeed inappropriate for Shang Yan to stay in an economy-type chain hotel on business trips. Qu Xiao tugged at the hem of his clothes and muttered softly, “But the organizers arranged our hotel stay. If we randomly change it, it might affect…”
“The Shang Group has an overseas organization that is your investor. We can be considered as one of the organizers of this forum.”
“So it shouldn’t be a problem for you to stay in the same hotel as me. Don’t worry.”
Shang Yan spoke with ease. Qu Xiao and Lei Qiming were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. They did not react for a long time.
How many more surprises did he have that she did not know!
Qu Xiao blinked her eyes and looked at Shang Yan with admiration. She felt as if she had hugged a golden mountain!
In a bungalow-styled hotel near the seaside, Shang Yan asked the staff to check in Lei Qiming. He held Qu Xiao’s hand and came to the seaside villa with French windows.
“Oh, wait!” Qu Xiao didn’t even have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery as she was pushed onto the bed by Shang Yan.
“You… Do you want to take a shower?”
Qu Xiao pushed Shang Yan, thinking of all reasons to delay.
Shang Yan figured out what she was thinking, pursed his thin lips, and smiled lightly. He carried her by the waist and walked to the bathroom. “Why not together?”
The hotel bathroom had an outdoor bathtub. Because it was a bungalow villa, the environment was well-concealed so that no one could peep.
Shang Yan carried Qu Xiao into the water, separated his two long legs, and let Qu Xiao sit across his waist.
There was the sea breeze, the coconut trees, and birds chirping, but Qu Xiao could only focus on Shang Yan’s eyes, which were filled with lust and love, and she was immersed in them.
Qu Xiao rode on the ripples and held Shang Yan’s head, saying seductively, “I like today’s surprise very much.”
