Chapter 55 Even if I just watched from afar, it was better than those three years of endless darkness
Jiangcheng International Airport.
Gu Manman and Su Yu sat on the sofa in the waiting room.
Some time ago, I received a wedding invitation from my college roommate. The wedding was scheduled in Haicheng, so we set aside a few days to prepare to go and have fun.
Su Yu looked through the wedding process on her phone: "Tsk tsk, with such a grand ceremony, it seems like she is marrying a domineering CEO."
Gu Manman smiled, picked up her phone and checked the time.
However, when the scheduled boarding time arrived, there was no movement on the radio. Instead, there was a notice that the flight was delayed and the departure time was to be determined.
"What's the matter with the plane?" Su Yu frowned. "Could it be because of the weather?" She leaned out of the window. The sun was shining and the sky was blue.
The passengers around also began to get agitated and talked in low voices.
Just then, there was a slight commotion at the entrance of the waiting room, and several staff members in airport uniforms walked in, surrounding a person.
Gu Manman looked up subconsciously.
It’s Feng Mingzhou.
He was wearing all black today, which made him look even more unruly.
The black hair that had been dyed back not long ago was neatly groomed, and his face was stern, but his deep eyes were now fixed on her, with undercurrents surging in them.
He walked straight towards them, his steps quick and steady.
Su Yu nudged Gu Manman with her elbow and lowered her voice: "Oh my god... this ghost is still lingering."
Feng Mingzhou stood in front of her and looked at her solemnly: "Where are you going now?"
Gu Manman met his gaze: "It seems that I don't need to report to President Feng where I go."
"If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to get on this plane today."
Deep in his eyes, his emotions were almost out of control.
It's fear.
He is scared.
Gu Manman met his gaze and said, "Let's go to Haicheng to attend a friend's wedding."
Feng Mingzhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the tense jawline showed the emotions he was trying hard to suppress.
"When will you be back?" he asked almost immediately.
Su Yu couldn't stand it anymore, rolled her eyes, and interrupted unhappily: "Boss Feng, are you checking my household registration? Do we have to report our itinerary to you when we go to a wedding?"
Feng Mingzhou seemed not to have heard Su Yu's words. His eyes were always fixed on Gu Manman's face, waiting for her answer stubbornly.
Gu Manman sighed: "I'll be back after the wedding, probably three or four days."
"I'll go with you." Feng Mingzhou almost blurted out.
Gu Manman frowned: "I'm going to attend a friend's wedding. Who are you to me? What are you going to do?"
"I'll go protect you." He looked at her with a paranoid look, "It's not safe outside."
Su Yu sneered: "I'm here, there's no need for you to come, right?"
Feng Mingzhou finally gave Su Yu a cold look, which was full of warning.
At this moment, a man in the uniform of an airport ground staff supervisor walked over quickly and bowed respectfully to Feng Mingzhou: "Mr. Feng, your private plane is ready and can take off at any time."
Feng Mingzhou didn't look at the supervisor. He still looked at Gu Manman and repeated, "I'll go with you."
Gu Manman: "Feng Mingzhou, are you crazy enough?"
"You were responsible for the flight delay, right?"
Feng Mingzhou remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.
This silence is the answer itself.
There are already many eyes looking over here, full of curiosity and inquiry.
Gu Manman felt her cheeks getting a little hot, and she didn't want to argue with him in this situation.
She lowered her voice and said, "I'm just going to a wedding and will be back in a few days."
"I said, I'll go with you." He repeated, his tone a little more serious.
The discussions around seemed to be louder.
Gu Manman felt a little embarrassed. All the passengers on the plane were waiting, but he was here getting entangled in such things.
She was a little angry. She stood up, looked up at him, and her voice became colder: "Feng Mingzhou, can you be reasonable? There are so many people waiting, do you think it's fun to do this?"
Feng Mingzhou looked at her slightly furrowed brows and the alienation in her eyes, and his body seemed to stiffen for a moment.
The strength in his eyes faded a little, he was afraid that she would be angry.
He was silent for a few seconds, his Adam's apple rolled, and he gave in: "Okay, I won't go with you."
Gu Manman didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
He took out a small velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a string of Buddhist beads.
He pulled up her wrist without saying a word and put the Buddhist beads on her.
The size of the Buddhist beads is just right.
"Wear it." He looked into her eyes, his tone pleading with a stubbornness, "When you get to Haicheng, send me a message, every day."
He took out his phone and clicked on an interface: "Add me as a friend."
"Otherwise, the plane won't be able to take off."
Seeing his unreasonable look, Gu Manman had no choice but to scan the QR code and add him as a friend.
After getting her assurance, Feng Mingzhou's tense expression eased a little.
He looked at her deeply, then turned and strode away.
As soon as he left, the invisible pressure in the waiting room instantly dissipated.
The staff seemed to have been pardoned and immediately began to arrange boarding.
After getting on the plane and sitting in the seat, Su Yu came over and winked and whispered teasingly: "I didn't expect that President Feng is still a henpecked husband?"
"Tsk, I finally found his secret weapon."
"From now on, wait and see how I control him."
Gu Manman rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, looked at the Buddhist beads on her wrist, and said nothing.
Su Yu pouted again: "However, next time, I will never take a flight under the Feng Group. You can delay it at will just because you are the boss, and waste everyone's time."
The plane's engine roared loudly, and it began to taxi on the runway and finally took off.
Inside the airport terminal.
Feng Mingzhou stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the silver plane disappear into the clouds.
He pulled out his phone and opened a map app.
On the screen, a red dot of light was moving slowly toward the southeast along the predetermined route.
Real-time positioning, accurate and correct.
airplane.
These two words were once Feng Mingzhou's nightmare.
He could watch her fly away, and he could endure the temporary separation because the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the small tracker, gave him an almost pathological sense of security.
As long as the red dot is there, as long as he can still see it.
Everything is still under his control.
Even just watching from afar like this is better than those three years of endless darkness and silence.
Feng Mingzhou turned around and instructed the assistant behind him: "Have you arranged the people in Haicheng?"
"Everything has been arranged, sir." The assistant replied in a low voice, "We have arranged the hotel where Miss Gu will stay and the itinerary to ensure that everything goes well."
"Let her have fun." Feng Mingzhou reminded again, "Don't let her notice our presence."
"Yes, sir."
He looked out the window again; the plane had long disappeared, leaving only the endless blue sky.
