Much later.

The flight attendant's gentle and elegant voice rang out from outside the curtain: "Sir, Madam, the plane is about to take off. Please fasten your seatbelts..."

Zhuang Wensong cleared the way like snow, wiping his lips with lingering satisfaction, and pulled his devilish hand out from under the disheveled, wrinkled coat and shirt.

He then returned to his seat with a mischievous grin and a satisfied expression.

Lu Ruxue's face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and her lips were slightly swollen. She didn't say a word, but lowered her head and began to straighten her clothes. Her mind was in a state of utter confusion and complexity.

"snort!"

After straightening her clothes, she couldn't help but glare at Zhuang Wen arrogantly, then crossed her arms and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

She felt somewhat relieved that the plane was about to take off; otherwise, if her upper body had been injured by Zhuang Wensi, even her legs might have been in danger.

But then, Zhuang Wen suddenly came over again.

"What...are you doing?!"

Lu Ruxue opened her eyes warily, her delicate body involuntarily shrinking back.

"I'll fasten your seatbelt."

Zhuang Wen said with a serious expression.

"No need, I can do it myself!"

Lu Ruxue resolutely refused.

She didn't believe Zhuang Wen would be so kind.

"Let me do it, Mr. Lu. Please let me serve you."

After Zhuang Wen said something, he stood up and, without waiting for Lu Ruxue's reply, leaned his upper body over Lu Ruxue's body and fastened her safety belt.

"Could it be... that he's really being honest this time?"

As Lu Ruxue watched Zhuang Wen fasten her seatbelt, the thought that had just crossed her mind was instantly jolted back to reality.

Zhuang Wen only withdrew his hand with a serious expression after pinching Lu Ruxue's thigh in her S-stockings.

"you……"

Lu Ruxue felt weak all over, especially the spot where Zhuang Wen had pinched her earlier, which was burning hot.

"Mr. Lu, although I am your secretary, I am only your secretary in terms of work. If I help you with things in your life, you need to pay the corresponding price. Once I receive a reward, I will be more motivated to help you with things in your life next time."

Zhuang Wen said seriously, his hand moving incessantly, as if reminiscing about the smooth touch from before.

"snort!"

Lu Ruxue rolled her eyes at Zhuang Wen, then gave a disgruntled snort.

Would you like to have a next time?

But when she turned around and looked out the window, the corners of her pink and cool lips involuntarily lifted slightly, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

...

With a sweet smile on her face, Lin Ni had just returned to the company and hadn't even sat down to have a sip of water when her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, her lips slightly parted.

After connection.

"Xiao Shu, what's wrong?"

Her voice was gentle.

Lin Shu's clear voice rang out, "Sis, are you having dinner with... President Lu and the others tonight?"

"No."

Lin Ni answered.

"Oh, why aren't you inviting them to dinner tonight?"

Lin Shu was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong? Why are you so concerned?"

Lin Ni poured herself a glass of water and smiled.

"I...it's nothing, I was just curious..."

Lin Shu's voice was a little stammering, as if she was very nervous.

Lin Ni was completely absorbed in sweetness at this moment, and even though she was shrewd, she did not notice her sister's abnormality.

"You're curious..."

Just as Lin Ni was about to answer, there was a knock on the door, and she called out, "Come in."

Then, she smiled at Lin Shu on the other end of the phone and said, "I'll talk to you now. I'll tell you what I want to say when I get back tonight... Also, it's not that I'm not inviting them tonight, but their flight is at 4 pm today, and they're going back to Qingjiang City."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone.

"They...are going back?"

Lin Shu's eyes were glazed over, and she unconsciously put down her phone.

Half a minute later, she suddenly came to her senses, as if she had just realized what was happening, and looked down at the time on her phone screen.

Then, she grabbed her bag and, without saying a word, quickly walked outside in her high heels.

She had just left the company and was about to go to the underground parking garage to get her car when she saw a taxi approaching. To save time, she went directly to the intersection and hailed the taxi.

"Driver, to the airport, please hurry, I have an urgent matter!"

As soon as she got in, she anxiously spoke to the taxi driver.

Seeing that she was indeed in a hurry, the driver didn't say much, stepped on the gas, and sped towards the airport.

More than half an hour later.

When Lin Shu hurriedly got out of the taxi, she looked at the time and her face turned pale instantly.

4:05.

It's too late.

She lightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, feeling a wave of dizziness and unsteadiness.

Suddenly, the roar of an airplane came from overhead.

She looked up suddenly, and an airplane flew overhead.

She seemed to sense something and believed that this was the plane Zhuang Wen was on.

Her gaze remained vacant until the plane soared into the sky, was obscured by white clouds, and completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did she look away, filled with disappointment.

Gradually, her eyes reddened and became slightly moist, and she felt inexplicably wronged.

For the next half hour, she wandered the streets, her steps heavy, lost and disoriented, her mind filled with Zhuang Wen's face.

The scenery before her was dim and lackluster, and she found it utterly uninteresting.

Ring ring~

Her phone suddenly rang.

She sighed, then took it out and saw it was from her manager.

She wasn't in the mood to answer, but the phone kept ringing, so she picked it up, her voice inevitably low and even a little hoarse: "Hello, manager."
