On Monday, a plane flying from Beijing to Haicheng landed.
Qi Shen pulled his suitcase with one hand and put his arm around Fang Zhi's waist with the other as they walked through the airport's VIP passage.
After her grand ambitions were completely dashed, she returned to Haicheng and stood on this land, feeling a slight emptiness in her heart. Looking at the straight, unobstructed passage in front of her, she couldn't see which way to go or what her future path would be like.
They only encountered a few travelers along the way, and soon reached the exit.
Outside the airport, the sky was a clear blue, with fluffy white clouds drifting freely. Assistant Chen, having received the specific return time from Qi Shen, was already waiting outside the airport with his driver.
Through the layers of people, he spotted a tall, elegant, and refined man in the crowd.
Once the crowd around him had dispersed, Assistant Chen finally saw the girl who had just been swallowed up by the throng—
And her boss's hand resting on her waist.
The simple action conveyed a subtle yet undeniable sense of possession and a declaration of sovereignty.
Assistant Chen's eyes flickered.
This is......
Before he could think further, the man's dark eyes behind his glasses drifted over and met his gaze directly, their hidden depths revealing a subtle, unassuming glint. Assistant Chen felt a chill run down his spine, quickly composed himself, and stepped forward to take the suitcase from Qi Shen's hands.
"Hello, Mr. Qi." He lowered his head, not daring to look at her any longer, and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Zhizhi."
Qi Shen turned his gaze back and hummed in agreement.
Maintaining her politeness, Fang Zhiqing smiled slightly and was about to reply to Assistant Chen when, "Ugh~" the arms around her waist tightened, and she fell into his arms.
Fang Zhi didn't understand his sudden, almost aggressive move, and looked up from his chest in a panic.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Faced with this situation, Assistant Chen kept his eyes down and consciously went around to the trunk to put his luggage.
He wanted to stay and help them open the car doors, but judging from his boss's reaction, he probably didn't need him.
After putting down his suitcase, Assistant Chen quickly got into the passenger seat, leaving the two people outside the car with space.
"It's nothing." Qi Shen looked down at her, a flash of dark light passing through his eyes behind his glasses, before a gentle smile appeared on his thin lips, his tone seemingly casual, "Zhizhi has rarely smiled in front of her brother these past two days. Is she happy to see him?"
Hearing this, he was taken aback, then realized that the "he" his brother was referring to was Assistant Chen.
She was simply stunned and incredulous.
Assistant Chen was his subordinate, and that was clearly a polite smile, but his brother over-interpreted it.
"Hmm?" Qi Shen lowered his head and moved closer to her.
The warm breath emanating from the man's high, straight nose touched Fang Zhi's face, causing a slight itch.
Fang Zhi's eyelashes fluttered, and she gently shook her head. She said "no" aloud, but secretly she had gained a new understanding of the extent of Qi Shen's control and possession over her in this regard.
Suddenly, she remembered his previous attitude of not letting her have much contact with male classmates.
So it started so early on?
Qi Shen stared at the girl's absent-minded face, his handsome brows furrowing slightly, but the frown vanished in an instant.
He knew perfectly well that she wasn't familiar with Assistant Chen.
She just smiled and didn't think much of it.
But he didn't like it, and couldn't accept his little girl smiling at other men besides him.
"Zhizhi," Qi Shen called out to her.
The girl snapped out of her daze. "Huh?"
"You are not allowed to smile at other men from now on."
After saying that, he acted as if nothing had happened, and in the bustling airport exit, he kissed the corner of her lips lightly, as if no one else was around.
Then Qi Shen reached out and opened the car door for her.
"Get in the car."
Fang Zhi was unaccustomed to doing such intimate things in public, so he nodded obediently, "Okay."
After getting on the bus, she quietly moved a large distance further inside.
Make room for the man; there's enough space for one person to sit down.
Qi Shen stopped beside the car and watched the girl inside move to the other side of the car door, his eyebrows slightly raised.
The little girl used all her little tricks on him.
Qi Shen watched until she couldn't move any further before getting into the car, then chuckled softly, his expression revealing no emotion whatsoever.
When the laughter reached Fang Zhi's ears, a hint of unease flashed across her face. She wondered if her brother had seen through her.
She turned her head and pretended to look out the window, feeling nervous, wanting to ignore his movements but unable to.
Even after the man got into the car and was seated, and the car slowly started moving, he made no attempt to pull her away.
Only then did I feel at ease enough to appreciate the scenery outside the window.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet, with only the soft breathing of a few people. After the car drove out of the airport area, Assistant Chen asked without looking to the side, "President Qi, should we take Miss Zhizhi back to Nangong first?"
Upon hearing his name mentioned, Fang Zhi's ears perked up, and he subtly turned his head to face the seat in front of him, glancing at the man beside him out of the corner of his eye.
He lowered his eyes, rubbing his index finger and thumb together, and without looking up, gave the order:
"Back to the company."
"OK."
A few words decided Fang Zhi's destination.
Her brother has been keeping her phone with him for the past two days, and he has been watching her every move.
He returned her phone to her just before getting off the plane today.
Wanting to contact Liu Siyi, Fang Zhi finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, can I go back first?"
Qi Shen turned his head, his deep eyes fixed on her.
His handsome face held a gentle, patient smile as he looked at her, as if he were looking at a child throwing a tantrum. "Come with your brother to the company, and we'll go back together afterwards."
