Chapter 28: The Lesson of Being Half-Dead Four Years Ago

In the car, Qiao Xu still put a straw in her coffee and placed it in the cup holder.

The man driving raised an eyebrow: "Still stubbornly insisting it wasn't bought for me."

Qiao Xu was furious and picked up her coffee, intending to throw it out of the car window.

"You'll get fined for littering while driving."

"Qiaoqiao, I'm hungry and sleepy. Feed me some water."

Qiao Xu opened her phone to check Xu Si'an's schedule and time arrangement.

"Drink it yourself."

"I'm driving, Jojo."

Qiao Xu picked up the coffee and shoved it in his face without even looking at it.

"Honey, where are you aiming? You almost shoved it into my nose."

Qiao Xu turned her head and glared at him: "Can you call me Assistant Qiao? This is very easy for people to misunderstand."

Xu Si'an took a sip of black coffee, a slight smile playing on his lips; it was sweet.

"But our relationship was already..."

Okay, he shut up.

Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities.

In order to pick up Qiao Xu, Xu Si'an did not call the driver to drive, and the car could only be parked at the airport.

There weren't many people at the airport in the morning. Xu Si'an held Qiao Xu's hand and walked towards the business class boarding gate.

"Let me go."

Xu Si'an held on even tighter: "Stop messing around, where am I supposed to find it if you lose it?"

"I'm not bad at directions."

Xu Si'an pulled the person directly into his arms: "I don't know who it was, but they got lost at the airport the first time they flew and cried and looked for me."

Qiao Xu wished she could smother him to death.

Her five elements are definitely incompatible with his; nothing good ever comes from meeting him.

It's a good thing we broke up, otherwise it would have affected our offspring.

Xu Si'an stopped in his tracks as he entered the business class lounge.

Qiao Xu bumped into his back unexpectedly: "Why did you stop?"

"Xiao An, are you going on a business trip too?"

Xu Si'an's expression turned cold, and he turned around and took her hand to walk out.

"Xiao An".

Xu Shiran released Shen Zhiwei from his arms and stood up. His expression was not good, and he looked at Qiao Xu with a cold gaze.

"You're breaking ties with your brother for her sake?"

Xu Si'an shielded Qiao Xu behind him: "You broke with me for her sake, brother. I advised you four years ago, but you insisted on doing it your own way."

"You saw the email I sent you last night, didn't you?"

Last night before going to bed, Xu Si'an sent Xu Shiran the medical records of Shen Zhiwei's abortion and hymen repair surgery that she had undergone at the hospital four years ago.

I thought seeing these things would make Xu Shiran a little smarter.

Unexpectedly, he received a WeChat message from him: "Don't slander your sister-in-law."

Xu Si'an actually laughed. The evidence was irrefutable. How could he say it was slander?

The progenitor of love-struck fools is truly beyond saving.

Shen Zhiwei still looked pitiful, tugging at Xu Shiran's sleeve: "Honey, what email?"

Xu Shiran gently comforted her, "It's nothing, it's just work."

"Xiao An, that's enough."

Qiao Xu felt a little numb; she wanted to run away.

Can't they argue after she runs away?

"Miss Qiao, since you left Xiao An four years ago, why are you now trying to get back with him? Do you even know what happened four years ago—"

"Xu Shiran, what right do you have to talk about her like that?"

Xu Si'an turned around and pulled the pale-faced Qiao Xu into his arms: "Don't listen to him, just ignore him."

Xu Shiran's face turned ashen: "Xu Si'an, wasn't the lesson you learned four years ago, when you were half-dead, enough to make you remember it deeply?"

"I'm willing, so don't fucking meddle."

"You'd be better off spending your time on your wife. You're already over 30 and still have the nerve to worry about me."

"eventful."

"Let's go, let's go board the plane first."

Xu Si'an left with Qiao Xu in his arms, Xu Shiran clenched his fist, and Shen Zhiwei beside him felt a chill down her spine.

Did they discover something?

Impossible. That was done very discreetly; it's impossible for it to be discovered.

"Honey, is Si'an upset with me for losing the dog? I really didn't mean to."

Xu Shiran is her simp, so even if it's intentional, Xu Shiran won't do anything about it.

The man lowered his head and kissed her to comfort her: "Don't listen to his nonsense. You know his personality; he's reckless and speaks without restraint."

"Don't worry, once the Los Angeles contract is signed, the Shen Group will be stable."

Throughout the journey, Qiao Xu was dragged along by him.

She wanted to shake him off, but he held on tightly and looked frightening.

"Xu Si'an, let go of me, my wrist is going to break."

Xu Si'an looked down at his hand, which had been pinched so hard that it left finger marks: "Sorry."

Business class passengers can board early, but Xu Si'an sat in his seat absentmindedly.

The memory of that night four years ago is still vivid in Xu Shiran's mind, yet he blames all the fault on Qiao Xu.

It's clearly that bitch Shen Zhiwei.

When the flight attendants came to inquire, Qiao Xu glanced at Xu Si'an, who was in a daze, and asked for two cups of hot water.

"Why did your brother say that four years ago he was half-dead? What does that mean?"

Xu Si'an took the water and drank a sip: "I've never seen you remember what I said so clearly."

"He's talking nonsense."

"Your brother is right, because I..."

Xu Si'an coldly put down his cup: "Don't think so highly of yourself. It's not because of you."

Qiao Xu picked at her fingers.

He's right.

Not long after, two more people boarded in business class.

Qiao Xu sighed inwardly, "What a small world!"

Shen Zhiwei took the initiative to greet her: "Si'an, Miss Qiao, what a coincidence."

Qiao Xu is Xu Si'an's assistant, and her every word and action affects the company.

He forced a smile and greeted her, "Mr. Xu, Ms. Chen."

Xu Si'an suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up: "You sit inside."

Qiao Xu didn't dare to go near the window on the plane, while Xu Si'an sat in an inside seat as soon as he boarded.

He was worried because there were other people in the cabin.

Qiao Xu didn't refuse and said thank you.

The feeling of weightlessness during takeoff was intense, and Qiao Xu suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, her face turning pale.

She clenched her fists tightly and desperately pinched her palms.

Feeling her trembling, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, forcefully pressing her head against his chest.

Xu Shiran and his wife looked displeased upon seeing his actions.

Especially Shen Zhiwei, who had just gotten a manicure and was about to pry off the diamonds.

Only after the plane's flight path stabilized did Xu Si'an softly ask, "Are you feeling better?"

"How come you're still so useless after all these years?"

Qiao Xu, unusually, didn't argue with him. He left her embrace and said thank you.

The flight to Los Angeles takes more than ten hours, and she was thinking of taking a pill so she could sleep for a while.

Xu Si'an kept an eye on Qiao Xu's movements while working.

Seeing that her complexion was still very bad, he reached out again, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.

Shen Zhiwei, sitting next to her, knocked over her water glass, spilling it on herself and screaming in surprise.

Qiao Xu tried to push him away, but Xu Si'an kissed her even more fiercely.

Xu Shiran: Are you alright? Did you get burned?

Shen Zhiwei shook her head: "I'm fine, it was just a bumpy ride."

Xu Si'an ignored it and continued kissing.

Unable to break free, Qiao Xu could only bite his lip.

He released her in pain and chuckled, "When are you going to change your biting habit?"

He wiped the water off her lips with his fingertips.

Qiao Xu took the opportunity to bite his finger: "Don't think I won't hit you just because we're on a plane."
