Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Return unscathed in the afternoon
“In the afternoon, Lin Anxin will return unscathed,” his voice, moistened by red wine, was hoarse and deep.
Si Chen’s anger suddenly subsided, his keen senses detecting that something was amiss. He pressed further, “Has something happened?”
“It’s nothing.” He did not intend to discuss these matters with anyone else.
Si Chen believed him, my foot! After a moment of thought and sensitive intuition, he grasped the crux of the issue, “Could it be… Old Master Li knows about Enen’s existence? The Old Master doesn’t approve?”
“It’s none of your business. All you need to know is that Lin Anxin will return unscathed in the afternoon.” He hung up the phone directly.
Soon, Si Chen’s call came through again.
He glanced down at his mobile phone and dragged the number into the do-not-disturb list.
The world suddenly became quiet…
Li Beijue swirled the wine glass, gazing at the scenery outside the window. From the 28th floor, he had a commanding view of everything below.
Suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated, and a text message came through.
He glanced at it, and his eyes turned colder than the cold air of Siberia. His already deep-set features became even more three-dimensional and mixed due to the tension. He clenched the goblet in his hand, resisting the violent urge to smash it, tilted his head back, and drained the remaining red wine in one gulp.
Then he put down the wine glass, picked up the car keys next to him, and stepped out into the chilly air—
The airport in Country Y was adjacent to the port, bustling with people in the international flights terminal.
The U7862 international flight had just taxied to the exit.
The passengers in their seats were already getting up, grabbing their luggage, preparing to deplane, completely ignoring the flight attendant’s repeated reminders that the airplane had not yet come to a complete stop.
In the most secluded spot of the business class section, a chestnut-curled maiden with bright and beautiful features was wholly focused on sketching something on paper.
When she completed the final stroke, she put away her 2B pencil and closed her notebook.
“Done!” A pretty and spirited smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, revealing eight neatly aligned pearly whites, exceptionally eye-catching.
Business class was somewhat cheaper than first class but more expensive than economy class, comparatively spacious. She stretched her back, a bit stiff from sitting too long, twisted her neck, and before she could put away her notebook, the man sitting next to her leaned in to flirt.
“Beauty, I’ve been observing you for a long time. Are you an artist? I saw you’ve been drawing since the flight took off; may I appreciate your painting? I work in this field, too. If it’s convenient, we could exchange phone numbers to discuss and learn from each other.”
No sooner had he finished his flirty remark, the bright-eyed maiden turned towards him, her petal-like lips touching lightly, ringing pleasantly, “Are you trying to hit on me?”
As soon as she spoke, the flirting man was stunned.
That was indeed his intention, but… to say it so bluntly, he was at a loss for words.
“Want to or not? If you do, I can tell you right now that I reject you. I already have someone I like. If not, let me remind you, don’t randomly ask for phone numbers from strange girls; their first reaction is to think you’re trying to pick them up.”
No beating around the bush!
Quirky and spirited with a touch of cool, her words left the flirting man speechless.
Just then, the airplane came to a stable stop. She picked up her notebook, slipped it into her bag, and walked out…
