It never rains but it pours. Huo Qinian's luck was not very good. Just a few minutes late, a traffic accident occurred on the highway to the airport, and the traffic was blocked, and Huo Qinian's car was also blocked.

Huo Qinian was anxious, but no matter how capable he was, how could he get through this series of traffic jams?

Fortunately, the traffic management of City A was "battle-hardened" and had rich experience in handling accidents. In less than half an hour, the traffic was restored to smooth.

Huo Qinian urged the driver to drive all the way, and rushed to the international terminal with great momentum.

Airport management may be different in different places, but in City A, the farewell process like Su Yunbai's friends is the mainstream. The airport in City A does not encourage friends and family to accompany passengers into the airport to see them off.

People who want to see off passengers are not encouraged to enter the airport, and those who want to go in for a stroll will be questioned several times. People like

Huo Qinian, who walked into the terminal without any luggage, should be stopped and questioned by the security personnel at the gate of the terminal. However, Mr. Huo's business trips are too frequent. To exaggerate, let alone his appearance, the frequency of Huo Qinian's "face scanning" is enough for the security personnel at the gate to remember his face.

That's why he entered the terminal smoothly.

The airport in City A is very large, and there are even shuttle buses coming and going in the airport. If it were someone coming here for the first time, it would probably take some time to get oriented.

But Huo Qinian was different. He was very familiar with the airport in City A. The boarding gates for flights to the United States were at fixed locations. Huo Qinian didn't even need to ask or look for them. He went straight to his destination on the second floor.

Huo Qinian was delayed for a long time on the road, but fortunately, Su Yunbai also spent a long time saying goodbye to Ji Cheng. So when Huo Qinian arrived, although Su Yunbai had checked in his luggage, he had not yet officially passed the security check.

The boarding process for international flights is basically the same as that for domestic flights, but there is an additional exit check. It is just in front of the security check. For citizens of the country, the exit check is actually relatively simple, just stamping an exit stamp on the passport.

When Huo Qinian hurried over, Su Yunbai was just taking her passport back from the staff. She tucked the ticket in her passport and followed the main force toward the security check area.

Whether it was immigration inspection or security check, the boarding process had already officially started. These areas were long corridors separated from the public areas of the airport. If Huo Qinian had arrived a little later, he wouldn't even have seen Su Yunbai. Huo Qinian

was very familiar with this set of procedures, and when he saw Su Yunbai's figure about to disappear at the corner, he couldn't help but get anxious.

He called out in a deep voice: "Yunbai! Su Yunbai!"

Although immigration inspection was not so serious that communication was prohibited, it was a formal procedure after all, and few people spoke loudly. Huo Qinian's shouting was extremely blatant.

As soon as he shouted, the passengers waiting in line to go through the process turned to look at him, even some of the people in front of Su Yunbai.

Who is this person, so arrogant?

Who is Su Yunbai?

Su Yunbai's steps paused.

She didn't expect to be able to hide it from Huo Qinian from beginning to end. In fact, she felt that it was a pleasant surprise to be able to hide it until now. She didn't think that if she really wanted to leave, Huo Qinian could do anything to her, but she didn't want to cause trouble and waste unnecessary energy.

At this moment, she was already in line for security check. After security check, she would be in the waiting area and could not turn back.

She didn't want to turn back.

Su Yunbai paused slightly, ignored it, and continued to follow the main force forward.

Huo Qinian saw it clearly, and shouted in anger: "Su Yunbai! How dare you leave!"

He was so angry that his eyes turned red.

How could Huo Qinian really make a noise in such a security checkpoint?

Soon, the airport security personnel came forward to inquire.

Huo Qinian was dressed in a suit and tie, and his style was quite intimidating. Although he was furious at the moment, his mental state seemed normal, and he was not the kind that would directly pose a security threat, so the airport security personnel were quite polite.

Huo Qinian watched Su Yunbai's figure disappear at the corner, and his heart seemed to be on fire.

After he could no longer see anyone, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm fine, I'm just looking for someone... Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen and I won't do anything rash."

After sending away the security guards who were overly concerned about his mental state, Huo Qinian immediately called to find someone.

Going through security is a serious matter, but it's not too much to go in and find someone in the name of President Huo, right?

If it really doesn't work, he'll just arrange two security guards to follow him!

The voices behind him calling for people gradually faded away, and the noisy queues of passengers quickly returned to normal. The brief commotion seemed to have been settled so easily.

Su Yunbai breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

She followed the large group of troops through security check, and then walked down a long corridor to the duty-free area of ​​the airport.

The duty-free area covers a large area. Upstairs and downstairs, on both sides of the long corridor that seemed endless, there were shops with a wide variety of goods.

The passengers in front and behind Su Yunbai all rushed into the duty-free area excitedly. There were

still nearly two hours before the plane took off, but Su Yunbai had no interest in shopping. She looked at the boarding gate information printed on the ticket and walked slowly towards her destination, taking a quick look along the way without taking a closer look.

The airport is very large, and it took Su Yunbai more than ten minutes to walk to the boarding gate area.

In front of the boarding gate are rows of seats, and opposite the boarding gate are service function areas. Su Yunbai saw the water dispenser at the entrance of the function area and walked towards it subconsciously.

There seemed to be chaotic footsteps behind her, and Su Yunbai stepped aside. Then, a force suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.

Su Yunbai was startled and turned back subconsciously, and saw Huo Qinian, who was panting. He stared at Su Yunbai closely, and the light in his eyes was a bit captivating.

Su Yunbai paused for a moment, "Why are you here?"

The person who was following Huo Qinian closely heard this and his expression relaxed slightly.

It seems that he is really an acquaintance.

He did not disturb anyone and disappeared quietly.

Huo Qinian looked at the people coming and going around him, took a deep breath, and grabbed Su Yunbai's arm: "Come with me."

He spoke in a domineering manner, but his force was weak.

Some people sitting in the waiting area were addicted to electronic products, but some were just sitting there bored. Many of these people were looking at them like searchlights.

No wonder people were so excited, this couple was really eye-catching.

Su Yunbai frowned, "Let go first, I'll walk by myself."

How could Huo Qinian let go?

He had a blank expression on his face, "What if you run away? You want to run away now!"

Su Yunbai choked.

Huo Qinian increased the force in his hands and pulled Su Yunbai to an empty boarding area on the side.

The two of them moved away from the crowd and stopped inside the glass wall. On the other side of the wall, planes were parked. Further away was the runway of the airport, with planes taking off and landing from time to time.

Standing against the backdrop of the planes taking off and landing, Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai with a heavy look in his eyes.

At this moment, Huo Qinian was like a beast that was trapped. Su Yunbai could feel the suppressed emotions in his body that were as surging as a wildfire.

She even thought that he was going to question her angrily - don't doubt it, this is what Huo Qinian could do.

But that kind of anger was suppressed by him little by little, and in the end, all that was left was a heavy sense of timidity.

He was like a wounded, trapped beast again.

The wounded trapped beast asked her: "Why do you want to leave?"

His voice was hoarse and his tone was heavy.

Su Yunbai was silent for a moment, "This is my career plan..."

Huo Qinian did not say whether he believed it or not.

When communicating with Su Yunbai, the worst thing is to follow her rhythm. Although Huo Qinian has not realized this clearly, he has done so instinctively -

he took a deep breath, "These years... I was wrong, I'm sorry."

The most important thing at the moment is not why she wants to leave, but how to keep her.

Huo Qinian... apologized?

Su Yunbai almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously looked up at him.

Huo Qinian said: "I am arrogant, unreasonable, and look down on others... I am used to disappointing your kindness, allowing people around me to bully you, and not seeing your efforts...

"I admit all this. I know I have done a lot of wrong things... I will change."

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, his expression seemed a little wolfish, and it was obvious that the next words made him a little embarrassed: "I will change. Don't leave, just don't leave... okay?"

Su Yunbai was stunned.

The sun was shining outside the glass wall, and the light was bright inside the glass wall. Huo Qinian stood in this bright light and lowered his head to look at her, his brows slightly wrinkled, his eyes deep, and the lines at the corners of his lips were tightly tied.

Su Yunbai's eyes fell uncontrollably on the very faint mole on the side of his nose for a few steps, and the emotions in her heart were complicated and indescribable for a while.

She said: "Huo Qinian, you don't have to. "

Huo Qinian seemed to have opened the gate of his emotions all of a sudden, and many things that he thought he would never say in his life came out so easily: "You asked me at the beginning, whether the beginning of the relationship between you and me was because of the Fang family...

" "To this day, I still can't tell you for sure that it is not. But that's not because I have a guilty conscience, but because I... am afraid.

"I won't hide it from you, I can see my own heart clearly, but I can't discern my heart 100%. When I say discern, I don't mean the result, I know the result very well, I mean the motive.

"If the motives for my decision to be with you can be broken down, I wouldn't dare bet that there's even a one percent chance that it's because of the Fang family.

"What if it's because Miss Fang is so rude, love-minded, and self-willed... What if it's because of these things that I admire your calmness and rationality even more, and that you never ignore the overall situation?

"Is this because of the Fang family?

" "Yun Bai, I really can't tell. I'm also an ordinary person, and I'm also affected by my own experiences. I can't guarantee that my future choices, emotions, and emotions will not be affected by my past. I can't guarantee that.

"That's why I got angry out of shame. In the final analysis, I was afraid. I was afraid that your 'vow' would come true. You're too cruel!

" "Do you remember what you said? 'A person who gives an answer that goes against his true heart may live a long life, but will grow old alone, abandoned by his friends and relatives, and achieve nothing'... "

The pain on his face flashed away, "I'm afraid my words will come true. I respect these illusory things, and I fear them. I dare not test them with my own feelings. Do you understand?" "

If you love something, you will value it. For Huo Qinian, some things cannot be treated too cautiously.

He dared not gamble on that one chance.

The funny thing is that he has never been able to see his own heart clearly, or rather, he has always been ashamed to admit his own heart.

Huo Qinian continued: "Yunbai, I am a person with a bad temper. If I really find a shield under the pressure of the Fang family, what is the difference between that and admitting defeat?

"I, Huo Qinian, would rather die standing than live on my knees! Especially because of something like this, it's impossible for me to admit defeat, let alone be forced to admit defeat.

"My spine is not that soft. How could I decide to enter into a marriage just for the Fang family? What's the difference between this and selling yourself? Don't think of me as worthless, and don't think of my pride and self-esteem as cheap..."

He looked at Su Yunbai, "No one can force me to do something I don't want to do. From the beginning, I was willing to do it. I was happy, so what happened later happened. Do you understand?"
