Chapter 24 "You saw I wasn't wearing..."

Meng Liyue was a beat slow to react.

When she turned sideways with shock on her face and looked outside, the bathroom door was already closed.

She blinked, worried that she was hallucinating, and asked uncertainly: "...Is there anyone outside?"

After two seconds of silence, a man's low, slightly hoarse voice rang out: "It's me."

Go to the expedition.

Go to the expedition! !

She was just happy that he came back, but the smile on her face completely froze.

Lowering his head and staring at his naked body, Meng Liyue's pupils gradually dilated.

He...he didn't know there was someone in the bathroom, so he opened the door and came in. So, did Li Fuzheng see it?

This realization made her heart beat like thunder, and her already rosy cheeks became even more rosy.

But maybe I didn’t see it clearly?

Meng Liyue comforted herself in this way and quickly put on her pajamas and went out.

Li Fuzheng was sitting in the living room, still in his pilot uniform. When he heard the noise, he looked up and looked at her.

"...You, you're back so early."

"Well, all the original flight plans have been cancelled."

He has been flying more southern routes recently, but the thunderstorm season has arrived, and the weather in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, in particular, has been very limited, so many flights have been cancelled.

So the dispatcher has already started arranging international flights for him. He only has these two days of free time, but things will soon be busy again.

"Then..." Meng Liyue hesitated. Sometimes she would be inexplicably persistent and want to get a certain answer.

Looking into Li Fuzheng's dark eyes, even though she was nervous, she still had the courage to ask: "Did you just see that I was not wearing..."

The man on the sofa licked his lips, grabbed the cup of water from the tea table and took two sips before saying hoarsely, "Sorry, I should have knocked first."

As soon as Meng Liyue was mentioned, the scene just now flooded into his mind like a tide, with a strong sense of presence.

The guest bathroom has a glass partition with frosted material. A woman who is wrapping her hair with a dry towel raises her arms, extending an extremely sexy curve from her neck downwards.

He didn't know she had such a great figure.

That waist was so thin that he could hold it with one hand. Besides that, it was also exquisitely slender, which was unique to women.

The vague image only caught his eye for a second before he quickly closed the door, still lingering.

My throat felt inexplicably itchy and dry, so I drank the remaining water in the cup.

"No, it's okay. I didn't know you were coming back, so I didn't tell you."

Meng Liyue's skin was originally fair, and after being steamed in hot water, it turned into an attractive light pink.

She said this in a panic and fled back to the bedroom.

It took me a long time to calm down and finally control my heartbeat.

When she came out again, she had changed her clothes. Li Fuzheng was opening the refrigerator to see what was inside. His eyes fell on her and he paused for a second: "You need to get out."

"Yes, Director Mu is inviting us to dinner tonight. Our team will have a dinner together."

Li Fuzheng calmly closed the refrigerator door and said, "Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, a few of us colleagues took Director Mu's car to go there, and it's quite far."

"Um."

He nodded expressionlessly: "Go ahead."

"What are you...going to eat tonight?"

"Whatever." Li Fu Zheng walked towards Meng Liyue. His eyes were very aggressive and she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Then I'll be leaving first...if you're hungry you can order takeout."

After saying this, Meng Liyue strode out.

Just as I was about to open the door, I heard Li Fuzheng asking from behind: "Which hotpot restaurant are you going to?"

Although she was confused, she turned around and told him the name of the hot pot restaurant.

Seeing his cold reaction, Meng Liyue took back what she wanted to say and walked out with a confused mood.

We got into Mu Cheng's car and picked up Rossi and the others along the way. It took almost half an hour to get to the destination.

After everyone gathered, they started to have a lively and noisy dinner. Everyone ate and talked, complained about the troubles at work, and talked about some gossip about life. The time for a hot pot meal passed quickly.

When the meeting was almost over, Meng Liyue went to the bathroom, and Luo Xi followed her. He said to her, "Did you notice that Director Mu took special care of you today?"

"Yes?"

"Of course he does. He always asks you what you want to eat, and reminds you every time the food is ready..."

Meng Liyue was stunned for a moment, then emphasized: "Director Mu takes good care of everyone."

Rossi still insisted: "But I think..."

"Really not."

Watching her expression, Rossi shrugged and also shut up.

When she came back, Mu Cheng had already settled the bill. He looked at them and said, "You can go now."

As the group walked out of the hot pot restaurant, Mu Cheng's car was parked on the side of the road.

Meng Liyue was being pulled by Luo Xi and was about to go over when her cell phone rang in her pocket.

When she saw the caller ID, she felt a violent tremor in her chest, as if she had a premonition.

"……Hello?"

"Are you going with your colleagues, or taking my car?"

Still the lazy tone.

Meng Liyue quickly looked around and saw the Land Rover across the street.

Her voice was brisk, and every note was dancing: "Wait a minute, I'll come over!"

"Director Mu, I won't go with you."

After taking a few steps forward and saying goodbye to Mu Cheng, Meng Liyue waved to Luo Xi again: "Bye."

"Hey, how can we go back if you don't come with us..."

Unfortunately, Meng Liyue was so impatient that she ran towards the expedition and did not hear the question behind her.

Getting in the car, she looked at Li Fuzheng's sharp profile. Even in the dim space, her eyes were particularly bright: "Why are you here?"

"Bored, made an appointment with Ning Yixu for dinner, it's nearby."

"Is that so..." Meng Liyue curled the corners of her mouth. Even though he didn't come specially to pick her up, she was very happy.

Before driving out of the parking space, Li Fuzheng glanced out the window inadvertently.

Across the street, a car has not left yet.

There was a man standing by the car door, also looking at them.

With a meaningful sneer in his throat, Li Fuzheng stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove away.

Meng Liyue, who hadn't noticed, turned to look at him and asked, "Have you figured out your shift schedule for the next few days?"

"It takes about four days to fly to Rome and back."

This is the nature of a pilot's job, especially when flying wide-body aircraft. They are often assigned to fly international routes, with each trip lasting from four to five days at the shortest, to nearly half a month at the longest.

She had never experienced this personally before, but this time, she felt a little reluctant even before she set out on the expedition.

"It's a good opportunity to meet my friend for dinner before you leave."

"Tomorrow? I'll arrange a place."

"good!"

Meng Liyue didn't dare to keep looking at him, fearing that her eyes would reveal her thoughts too much. Just as she was about to turn her head back, she saw his thin lips move and asked in a low voice: "Your colleague, don't you know that you are married?"

"I guess they don't know yet..." She just wanted to keep a low profile and didn't tell anyone.

“No wonder.”

Li Fuzheng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his tone unclear.
