"That’s uncertain, but as soon as things are settled, I’ll rush right back."
Xiao Meier sighed deeply, "Alright, I’ll go home and pack your bags."
"Wife, what gift would you time?" Chen Cheng asked with a smile.
Xiao Meier replied, "I just hope you can be safe and sound; gifts don’t matter."
The two got into the car, and she said to Chen Donghai, "Xiao Hai, you pack up too, and go to Japan with Chen Cheng."
Xiao Meier leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Have you bought the tickets?"
"Miss Wen will arrange it; I guess they will be sent over in a bit!" Chen Cheng answered.
Xiao Meier clung tighter, "When you come back, will I be taking my driving test for Level Two by then?"
Chen Cheng knew Xiao Meier was reluctant to let him go and teased, "When I come back, you’ll probably be ready for Level Three."
Xiao Meier gave him a light punch in the chest, "At a time , you’re still teasing me! If you really stay that long..."
"What else can I do? Just pack more clothes for you. The weather there might be different from here."
Chen Cheng was filled with emotion inside, "Wife, you are so good to have."
"Don’t exhaust yourself over there; I’ll be waiting for you at home," Xiao Meier said with a choked voice.
The next day, at Daxing Airport.
Outside the departure gate, Xiao Meier was still seeing off Chen Cheng.
"Send a message when you land." She straightened his collar and said, "I’ve looked up the guide online; you should get a SIM card for data."
Xiao Meier’s eyes were full of reluctance, "Be sure to take care of yourself. Don’t overwork for the job; your health is important."
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Take good care of yourself at home too. If anything comes up, ask Li Dinger and the others for help."
Then, the boarding announcement came from the loudspeaker.
After exchanging his boarding pass, Chen Donghai came back as well, "Mr. Chen, the luggage is checked in. I’ve got the boarding pass too."
He hugged Xiao Meier, "I’m leaving, wait for me."
Xiao Meier held back her tears, "Have a safe trip."
She watched as Chen Cheng and Chen Donghai walked towards the boarding gate. Like last time, she waited until she could no longer see his tall figure before she turned and left the departure hall, took a taxi, and returned to Wanbao Hall.
As soon as he got on the plane, Chen Cheng saw two familiar faces.
Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu were sitting in their seats, smiling at him.
"Brother Cheng~" Tong Jialu waved her hand.
Xia Yubing kept her usual composure, just nodding her head.
"My seat is at the back," Chen Donghai checked his boarding pass, "Call me if you need anything."
Chen Cheng nodded, "Go rest first."
After Chen Donghai left, Chen Cheng also took a seat.
However, this time, Wen Shulin did not reserve a business or first class for Chen Cheng as she used to, just four economy class tickets.
Presumably, this was the domineering female CEO giving him the cold shoulder.
"Wow, this seat is quite cramped!" Chen Cheng settled down between the two women.
Tong Jialu immediately leaned over, "The air conditioning is pretty cold! It’s warmer when we’re huddled together!"
Chen Cheng glanced at the super short skirt, teased, "If you’re cold, wear long pants! Are you sticking to me on purpose?"
"Brother Cheng!~" Tong Jialu pouted.
Chen Cheng turned to look at Xia Yubing, "We’re about to leave the country, can’t you spare me a smile?"
Xia Yubing’s lips finally lifted into a faint smile.
Chen Cheng patted her leg, then glanced at the cramped seat, "Shall we upgrade?"
Tong Jialu’s eyes lit up, "Yes, Brother Cheng, the economy seats are really not too comfortable."
But Xia Yubing said, "Never mind, we’ll be there if we bear with it a bit longer, no need to spend that money."
Chen Cheng said with a smile, "So, should Xiao Lu and I upgrade and leave you to endure it alone?"
"I want to go together," Xia Yubing said softly.
Chen Cheng grinned, "That’s more like it!"
He signaled Tong Jialu with his eyes, and she immediately pressed the call button overhead.
Soon, a stewardess came over.
She turned off the light and asked, "Miss, can I help you with something?"
Chen Cheng said, "Are there four empty seats in first class? I’d like to upgrade."
The stewardess smiled and replied, "Sir, I’ll check it for you. Please wait a moment." With that, she turned and left.
Tong Jialu asked, filled with anticipation, "Brother Cheng, is this our first trip as a threesome?"
Chen Cheng: "Focus on the task at hand! Do you think of nothing but play all day?"
Tong Jialu stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Brother Cheng is here for business. My cousin and I are here to cheer you up. Right, cousin?"
Xia Yubing looked down in agreement, "Yes."
