Chapter 170 Exchanging Car Keys
"China Eastern Airlines 6338, descend to altitude 3000, corrected sea pressure 1005."
"Spring 8844, the preceding aircraft is a 777 heavy, veer three nautical miles to the left of the course to avoid the wake turbulence."
"Auspicious 1218, speed adjustment 210".
"South 3657, turn right onto heading 150, ILS approach 36R, can establish a course report."
...
As a small surge of aircraft entered the port, Xu Songning kept an eye on the radar, adjusting the spacing and altitude of the aircraft.
As Xiang Yun switched to the approach frequency, he heard a familiar female voice and couldn't help but smile. "Shanghai Approach, Air China 3637, altitude 5600, at your command."
"Air China 3637, note the similar flight number, descend to 4800 and maintain it." Xu Songning responded according to procedure, feeling a slight pang in his heart, his tone even fluctuating.
"Remain at 4800, Air China 3637."
"Air China 3637, don't secretly slow down, keep the speed at 250, you are the first one."
"Maintain speed of 250, Air China 3637."
"Air China 3637, flying at high speed, tower 118.1, goodbye."
"118.1, Air China 3637. Goodbye, Shanghai Approach."
The two exchanged a tacit goodbye on the radio. After Xu Songning finished directing this wave, it was time to hand over the shift.
Xiang Yun had arranged to meet her at a coffee shop, and as he was walking in that direction, he received a message from Cui Yuyue.
After reading it with a frown, Xiang Yun wanted to pretend he hadn't seen it, but Ms. Cui's phone was like it was under surveillance; she called him as soon as he got off the flight.
I can pretend I didn't see my sister's message, but I can't ignore my mother's call.
"mom."
Ms. Cui questioned, "Xiang Yun, how could you push this matter onto your sister? Your sister is also interning and cannot leave her post at will. Even if she has free time, she cannot leave the law firm alone to do personal business. No matter whose daughter she is, this rule cannot be broken."
"I really don't have time."
"You've landed, right? Go pick up Lin Yao now. She's been waiting for you at the airport for two hours. How can you not take her home?"
"Mom, what exactly do you mean? Is it really just about sending her home?" Xiang Yun asked.
"Don't you understand what Mom is thinking? If you stay single any longer..."
"I have a girlfriend."
"Your sister wants to... What?! You have a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why didn't you say so sooner? Your sister never mentioned it. You're not just making up an excuse to fool me, are you?"
"We just started dating not long ago, and I was afraid of scaring her, so I didn't tell you." Xiang Yun switched hands to hold the phone, glanced at the time, and saw that it was already Xu Songning's time to get off work. "Mom, I'm going to pick her up from get off work now."
Ms. Cui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you also work at the airport?"
"yes."
Ms. Cui thought it was most likely a flight attendant. Regardless, she decided to meet her first.
"I'll bring her back another day, so I can take a look."
“Okay, then Lin Yao…”
"Nonsense! Lin Yao, you have to take her back too! You and your girlfriend can give her a ride on your way. If I had known you had a girlfriend, would I have bothered with this for you?" Ms. Cui hung up the phone unhappily.
This offended the old client. Since the matchmaking for their children didn't work out, the client had no choice but to agree to Mrs. Lin's request to let Lin Yao intern at the law firm.
Everyone could see that Lin Yao's internship at the law firm was just a way to gain prestige, but what could they do? Their son had done something like that. It was unfair to let them down after all that.
Ms. Cui had just hung up the phone when Xu Songning called.
"Brother Yun, I have some work to do here and need to work overtime. You can go back first. Don't wait for me for dinner; you'll probably eat at the cafeteria." Xu Songning sighed.
Xiang Yun felt a little sorry for her. The pilots' canteen was pretty good, with all kinds of protein and nutritional foods. The captain and first officer ate separately, with two sets of dishes. He wondered if the food in the air traffic control canteen was any better.
He comforted Xu Songning, "I'll make you something nice to eat. Don't eat too much; you can eat some more when you get back."
"Great! Yun-ge is so nice, I really want to go home with you after get off work." Xu Songning leaned against the wall and made a phone call. A passing colleague covered his ears and laughed heartily.
Xiang Yun thought for a moment, "Come and take the car keys, are you free?"
“I have my car keys with me, did you forget? We drove our own car this morning,” Xu Songning said with a smile.
I want to drive your car.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yun pulled his suitcase and walked in the opposite direction. If Lin Yao insisted on waiting for him, she would probably have to wait a while longer.
The two met at the airport. There were too many people. Xu Songning originally wanted to give him a hug, but she was afraid of attracting the attention of other passengers. She waved her keys and said, "Here you go, Captain Xiang. Be careful driving my car. If you bump or scratch it, you'll have to pay me for the Porsche."
"I'll compensate you." Xiang Yun handed her the Porsche keys.
Xu Songning held the keys in her hand, her gaze fixed on him. "You're acting a little strange today. Why are you asking me to change your keys? Did you miss me?"
Xiang Yun subtly hooked her finger, then released it. "I miss you, but I really have something to do."
"What's up?"
"My mom asked me to take her client's daughter home; she landed in Shanghai today."
“The client’s daughter, your mother asked you to deliver this.” Xu Songning’s eyes were filled with laughter as she poked his hand meaningfully.
Xiang Yun took her hand in return. "I heard you were my childhood neighbor, but I don't remember you very well. I've already told my mom that I have a girlfriend. I was planning to go with you to deliver it, but you have to work overtime."
As he spoke, Xiang Yun seemed a little aggrieved.
“Well, there’s no other way but to work overtime. It’s okay, I believe in you, go ahead,” Xu Songning said generously.
Xiang Yun was unhappy that Xu Songning was so generous, but Xu Songning didn't seem unhappy at all when he was taking another woman home.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Go ahead, I have to get busy too." Xu Songning waved and left gracefully.
Xiang Yun felt a little uneasy watching his girlfriend's dashing figure disappear into the distance.
He took the key and walked the same route again, arriving at the coffee shop that Cui Yuyue had sent him.
Light pink dress, light brown hair, white suitcase.
There weren't many people in the shop. Xiang Yun scanned the area but didn't find his target. He checked the coffee shop's name again, and it was indeed correct.
Xiang Yun went to ask the shop assistant wiping the table, "Excuse me, was there a girl in a light pink dress here before?"
The shop assistant recalled that a girl in a light pink dress had indeed sat there that afternoon. She was quite cute, which caught his attention. "I think so, but she left after sitting for ten minutes."
"Thanks."
Xiang Yun walked out of the coffee shop and took out his phone to call Lin Yao.
When Lin Yao received the call, she was coming out of a five-star hotel next to the airport. "Brother Yun, you've come to pick me up?"
"Where is he?" Xiang Yun asked.
"I'm at the airport parking garage entrance."
"I'm right here."
"...Wait a minute, I'm coming right away!"
When Lin Yao arrived, she immediately spotted Xiang Yun, dressed in a pilot's uniform, his tall figure making him quite conspicuous in the garage.
She tossed her hair, slowly walked over, and gave Xiang Yun a standard smile. "Brother Yun, I'm Yao Yao. Do you remember me?"
Xiang Yun didn't want to waste words. "I don't remember. Get in the car."
Lin Yao was discouraged, but she didn't give up. She followed Xiang Yun to a strawberry purple Audi, where Xiang Yun got in first and opened the trunk.
Lin Yao was surprised that Xiang Yun would buy a car of this color; girls probably prefer this color more.
"Brother Yun, is this your car?"
"This is my girlfriend's car. Put your luggage away and get in." Xiang Yun knocked on the car window.
Xiang Yun has a girlfriend?! And Aunt Cui even showed her mother Xiang Yun's picture? Was she implying she wanted to introduce them? Or was she just imagining things?
Forget it, so what if I have a girlfriend? There's no wall that can't be dug up, only a hoe that's not wielded well!
For the sake of a bright future, what's the difference between a man and a toy she and her sister fought over since childhood? Besides, he's such a good catch; he's a perfect match.
"Okay... fine." Lin Yao gritted her teeth and struggled to put the suitcase in the car herself.
As she walked around to the front and was about to open the passenger door, a hand grabbed the door handle first.
"Excuse me, little sister, I'm also hitching a ride with Captain Xiang today." Lu Xiaomeng made a face at her.
