Xu Yuan turned her head and instantly caught sight of Lu Wanwan’s beautiful face.
She was holding a large suitcase, smiling at her.
Next to her stood two little "milk buns," one on each side, each dragging a mini suitcase, wearing matching but slightly different anime T-shirts, looking both cute and fresh.
Their beautiful faces, with eyes curving into crescent moons, utterly melted her heart.
"Ah, Little Momo, Little Youyou!" Xu Yuan instantly threw all previous matters to the wind and immediately opened her arms wide to hug them both, more excited than the three of them combined, "Auntie hasn’t seen you for so long, and you’ve both grown so much. Little Momo, the last time I saw you, you were still wearing split pants. Little Youyou, why haven’t you given auntie a face full of drool this time?"
Little Momo: "..." Auntie, can you not start with the embarrassing stories as soon as we meet?
Little Youyou: "..." Auntie, I only give face-fulls of drool to the opposite sex I like now, okay?
"Auntie really missed you guys so much, I wish I could kidnap you from your mommy."
Lu Wanwan cleared her throat, "I’m still here!"
"Aunt Xu Yuan, what were you even watching so intently that you didn’t see us right away?" Little Youyou hadn’t forgotten that.
Xu Yuan: "... I was just casually looking, didn’t pay much attention. Come on, Auntie will take you to have a big meal!"
She was about to take the suitcase from Little Youyou’s hand, but Little Youyou shook her head, "Auntie, I’ve grown up now. I should do what I can on my own. I’ve got this!"
Xu Yuan, with tearful eyes, said, "Such a sensible child."
Suddenly a large suitcase slid over.
Lu Wanwan tossed her aching hand dismissively, "Since your hands are so free, how about giving me a hand?"
Xu Yuan gritted her teeth, "You really have some nerve!!"
"Aren’t you here to pick me up?" Lu Wanwan helplessly asked, "I took the lightest suitcase because I was afraid you’d think I wasn’t welcoming you enough. I kept the heaviest ones with me!"
She looked skyward, "A few years abroad really makes a difference, no manners at all!"
Despite the teasing, she quickly grabbed the suitcase and led them out to catch a cab.
Outside the airport, Shao Zhiheng stepped out and entered a black Bentley.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip with darkness.
"Can we go now?" Came a cool indifferent voice from inside the car.
Shao Zhiheng, annoyed, glanced at Gu Annan, who had been dealing with work in the car, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Even if I’m not rushing, I’d rather not waste time," Gu Annan said without looking up.
"What if I want to waste a bit more time?"
Gu Annan, his dark eyes indifferent, focused on the document on his computer screen for a moment before lifting his gaze to glance at him.
Shao Zhiheng didn’t respond.
"Then let’s go," he said in a cold tone, "Otherwise, you might want to grab a taxi."
The other man was infuriated.
In the front row, Zhao Chen turned around, smiling, "Mr. Shao, if you really can’t let it go, why not try to win Miss Xu back? You accidentally find out her schedule, rush back to the airport, search for half an hour, and then come back with a face as dark as iron, it seems a bit... cough!"
"The one who’s been single for over twenty years shouldn’t be talking; even your boss didn’t say anything."
Shao Zhiheng snorted coldly, "As if your boss knows how to chase someone. Otherwise, Lu..."
Before he could finish, he felt the atmosphere in the car drop suddenly.
Zhao Chen gave him a look that said ’you’re on your own,’ and then told the driver to start the vehicle.
