Chapter 21 Are you a devil?
It was getting late, so Li Mushi booked a room at a five-star hotel next to the shopping mall.
Jingge's room was next to his.
“Room key,” Li Mushi held out his hand to her, “I’ll have someone go get your luggage.”
Jingge gave him the room key.
Be a child who can rest assured and have elders to rely on.
Although she is no longer a child.
Jing Ge's flight is tomorrow morning, while Li Mushi's is in the afternoon.
It was obvious they were taking care of her and trying to get her away safely.
After lying down in her room and playing on her phone for a while, Li Mushi knocked on her door.
Explain the precautions for this trip to her.
And give her the ticket.
“The tour guide’s surname is Wang. She will pick you up tomorrow,” he said. “She will guide you throughout the trip. Just tell her if you have any questions.”
Jingge exclaimed in surprise, "They even have professional tour guides?"
Li Mushi: "Yes, I prepared it for myself. I don't like to spend energy on these things."
"oh oh."
That's how big shots are.
Instead of wasting time and energy searching for guides and information, it's better to spend money to hire professionals to do professional things.
They are only responsible for completely relaxing and resting.
Then, Li Mushi gave her a card: "There's 500,000 in there."
Jingge quickly waved his hands, "No, no..."
Li Mushi: "The prepaid card can only be used on the cruise ship. It is non-refundable and non-exchangeable for cash. It will expire and become invalid. Use it up before you come back. Don't let others benefit from it."
Jing Ge was immediately convinced.
I accepted the card.
After saying this, Li Mushi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if he were his own child going on a long trip alone for the first time, and he was worried about everything and wanted to explain things in as much detail as possible.
After a moment, he uttered, "It's gone."
Jing Ge: "...Oh."
The two exchanged a glance, and Jing Ge suddenly smiled, a bright smile: "I'll bring you a gift."
“No need,” Li Mushi said. “I like simplicity and I don’t like adding extra things.”
"......"
Why.
No wonder she hasn't found a partner yet.
Her future aunt-in-law also had a tough time in some ways.
Jingge didn't dare to say anything, but silently muttered a few words to himself.
The next day, the tour guide arrived at the hotel on time to pick us up.
That means as long as Jingge has his identification documents and can make sure he has enough to eat and wear, she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
Li Mushi took them to the airport.
As the tour guide went to check in his luggage, Jingge belatedly realized that he was suddenly overcome with feelings of parting.
Perhaps because he had no official business, Li Mushi dressed casually that day, which made him less aloof and cold, allowing people to overlook his seniority and realize that he was just a young man a few years younger than himself.
Jing Ge stammered, "Uncle..."
Li Mushi glanced at her and asked, "Then back to Haishi?"
The sadness of Jingge's departure is gone.
"No, I'll leave right away."
Li Mushi casually mentioned, "When you get back, you should write a 5,000-word essay about this trip."
Jingge glared at him with an expression that said, "Are you a devil?"
Li Mushi actually smiled.
The smile was very slight.
The tour guide ran back: "Okay, we need to transfer twice before we can board the ship."
"Thank you for your hard work," Li Mushi nodded to her. "It's the first time the child has left home, so please take good care of her."
You're too kind.
Jingge walked inside while looking back.
Li Mushi put one hand in his pocket and smiled and nodded at her when she looked back.
He acted every inch like an elder.
Jingge sat in the comfortable seat in first class and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
Amanda said there was nothing to make first-class passengers sad, and Jingle understood that she was just giving an example, as first class was a broad concept here.
Just like Li Mushi, she was a very tolerant person.
He is not her parents or family member, not someone like Li Zhan.
Yet, he was almost the best person to her.
Jingge had a great time on this trip. The ferry ticket was for a deluxe room with a great view and a wonderful environment. The three meals a day were also very plentiful.
Fearing that the 500,000 in the prepaid card would go to waste, Jing Ge would also order extra meals, a SPA massage, and then play cards and games with a group of like-minded young people on the ship.
The tour guide, Sister Wang, was fifteen years older than her and indulged her throughout the trip.
Only after arriving in Antarctica did everyone give her a cold shoulder when they lined up to try winter swimming, forbidding her from joining in the fun.
Jingge has already changed into her swimsuit: "I want to swim..."
"No," Sister Wang said seriously, "you'll catch a cold."
Jingge shook her arm: "Nobody else can do it, I want to try..."
“We’re physically different from these foreigners,” Sister Wang said. “Should I call your uncle?”
“...No need,” Jing Ge said dejectedly. “Phone calls are expensive here, so please don’t waste your money.”
Sister Wang then smiled: "Go over there, I'll take a picture for you. Who knows if there are viruses from tens of thousands of years ago in this water?"
Jingge puffed out his cheeks and gave up.
After the photos were taken, Sister Wang let her go, and Jingge wandered around as she pleased.
The girl I played Monopoly with yesterday came over and whispered, "Sister, do you bring bodyguards when you go out to play?"
"...Who?" Jing Ge asked blankly. "What bodyguard?"
The girl said, "The older sister who's always been by your side."
Jing Ge: "She's not a bodyguard, she's a tour guide."
"Stop lying," the girl pouted. "The calluses on her hands are obvious from handling guns all the time. My family owns a shooting range. Do you think I can tell?"
Jingge paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.
Sister Wang originally intended to go with Li Mushi. Li Mushi is a big shot, so it's reasonable for him to travel with bodyguards. After all, he's quite valuable, and safety is naturally the top priority.
It's just that she got off easy.
The girl looked her over and said, "You seem to have gained weight since you boarded the ship."
"..." Jing Ge's expression cracked. "Really? Did I eat too much?"
The girl nodded, giving her a definite answer.
Jing Ge murmured, "But I still have money left in my card."
"What card?"
"Prepaid card".
"...Really?" the girl asked, puzzled. "I should have asked my parents to top up my account too."
At this point, the girl enthusiastically invited, "Let's go look at some bags. They're tax-free. Don't just eat all the time; buy a bag and use it all at once."
Jing Ge was happily pulled away by her.
Meanwhile, on the other side, there's a mirage.
As soon as Li Mushi stepped out of the airport, he made a phone call, not knowing who it was to: "If anyone asks about Jing Ge's business trip, please cover for him."
"Yes, I'm responsible for safety."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After the New Year, the Jing family came to pay their respects to the old master and matriarch of the Li family.
Because the engagement was the only way to maintain the relationship, Jing's father was always unconsciously humble, and when he spoke to the two elders, he would only say things that they wanted to hear.
With Jing Ge absent, Jing's father felt even more ashamed: "When she comes back, I'll make her quit her job immediately."
“Sigh~” The old lady disagreed, “It’s good that the little girl is ambitious, but you can’t do this, or I’ll make sure your mother punishes you.”
A group of people laughed along.
“I should have asked her to wish you both a Happy New Year,” Mr. Jing said. “But her phone was always busy. I even asked her boss, who said that the place she was on a business trip was remote and the signal was bad, and told me not to worry.”
