"Remember to take good care of yourself when you get there, and tell us immediately if anything happens!" Reluctant to part with his daughter, Ouyang Ming's tone was inevitably heavy.
Qin Shengyi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and deliberately teased, "Dad, what are you doing! This isn't the first time I've been going abroad."
"If you really can't bear to part with me, then I won't go!"
It seemed like a joke, but she really didn't want to go to the branch office.
Although her father said he would do it as soon as possible, she had a vague feeling that she would probably be required to stay overseas for a long time this time.
"Don't worry about your dad, he's just being dramatic," Qin Yao interrupted promptly, subtly nudging Ouyang Ming's elbow as she spoke. "Just focus on your work when you get there, and don't overthink things."
Qin Shengyi nodded knowingly, while subtly glancing around. He didn't find the person he was looking for, and inevitably felt a little disappointed.
Last night, Yan Shu sent me a message saying he would come to the airport to see me off, which is why I had repeatedly refused my parents' requests to come to the airport... I don't know if he missed it or if Yan Shu forgot about it.
Qin Yao observed her daughter's subtle actions without making a sound, and it wasn't hard to guess why. She didn't intend to expose her, and waved her hand, urging her on.
"Alright, go inside now!"
At the same time, announcements urging passengers to board the plane also came over the loudspeaker.
It seems we really won't be able to see each other again.
As the last glimmer of hope in her eyes faded, Qin Shengyi sighed inwardly. After saying her final goodbyes to her parents, she turned and entered the boarding gate, pulling her huge suitcase.
Only after her daughter's petite figure was completely out of sight did Qin Yao withdraw her gaze, turning instead to glare fiercely at Ouyang Ming.
"What was wrong with you just now? Shengyi didn't want to go to the branch office in the first place, and you still put on that act. Weren't you just looking for trouble?"
"I...I just couldn't bear to part with Nannan, and I couldn't help myself for a moment!" Ouyang Ming said guiltily, his expression a little unnatural.
They had finally managed to bring their daughter back from overseas, and their original plan was to never let Shengyi leave their side again. But now they had no choice but to send her away again.
Xu Yanshu finally arrived at the airport after a frantic rush. Seeing the flight information displayed on the big screen, he realized that he was too late after all, and his heart sank to the bottom.
As Ouyang Ming and his wife were preparing to head home, they turned around and noticed Xu Yanshu standing not far away. Qin Yao quickly walked up to him and coldly questioned him, "..."
"Xu Yanshu, why are you here? Please don't tell me this is just a coincidence?"
Xu Yanshu felt a little embarrassed, knowing that he couldn't fool the other party, so he had to tell the truth, "Auntie, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to come and offer my congratulations."
Ouyang Ming followed closely behind, and upon seeing Xu Yanshu at the airport, his expression inevitably turned somewhat awkward.
If this person hadn't kept pestering them, they wouldn't have let Shengyi return to the branch office. Besides, he thought he had made things clear enough last time, and logically, Xu Yanshu should have backed down.
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and said bluntly, "I believe you've probably guessed why we had Shengyi return to the branch office."
"If that's the case, then why are you still shamelessly sticking your nose into my face? Is it because you genuinely like me, or is there some other ulterior motive?"
What could his purpose be?
Xu Yanshu's face turned ashen instantly, and he unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.
So, just as she guessed, they sent Shengyi to the branch office entirely to prevent the two of them from meeting.
After calming his guilty conscience slightly, Xu Yanshu finally managed to say with difficulty, "Auntie, do you really have to go to such lengths?"
"Heh!" Upon hearing this, Qin Yao gave a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning, her eyes filled with sarcasm as she looked at Xu Yanshu. "There's a saying that goes, 'It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who's eyeing you.' Haven't you been pestering Shengyi enough lately?"
Something unusual must be going on. Not long ago, she noticed that Shengyi left the company early more than once, but he didn't go home immediately after leaving. It was obvious where he went.
She didn't expose him because she was mindful of Shengyi's pride, and also because she was afraid of making things worse. She thought that perhaps things would calm down after this phase.
However, the kidnapping that happened a few days ago served as a wake-up call for him, making him realize that he could no longer let things continue to turn a blind eye. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to send his daughter to the overseas branch.
"I……"
"Xu Yanshu, no matter whose young master you are, I will never agree to the two of you being together, so you'd better give up on that idea as soon as possible!" After saying this, Qin Yao strode away.
Ouyang Ming made a move to catch up with the person in front of him, but then turned his head and gave Xu Yanshu a meaningful look.
Is there really absolutely no possibility?
Xu Yanshu's gaze gradually became unfocused, and his heart felt so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He unconsciously began to take deep breaths to relieve the pressure.
He knew from the beginning that there was a gap between him and Shengyi, but seeing the girl so determined to choose him, and after confirming his own deepest feelings, he was unwilling to deceive himself.
He thought that as long as he tried hard enough, things would turn out well between them, but...
