Chapter 177 AI Confinement 35
The plane landed in City C.
Xi Heng and Song Jinhuan walked out of the airport.
The girl was wearing a lemon-yellow baseball cap and large sunglasses.
The lower half of his face was covered by a white mask with a little rabbit printed on it.
She wore a smoky pink dress that made her exposed skin appear exceptionally white.
The man walking beside her was a head taller than her, carrying a black travel bag on one shoulder and a small yellow and white floral cloth bag in his right hand.
A doll keychain was hanging from the zipper of the bag.
He wore a black mask with a bear print on it, and held the girl's hand with his left hand, walking slowly and steadily in sync with her steps.
The sunlight outside is strong.
The man slid the small cloth bag to his wrist and raised his hand to press down the brim of her hat.
Song Jinhuan looked up at him with a puzzled expression through her glasses.
"It's so hot and blinding."
"I was wearing sunglasses!"
Xi Heng knew this, of course; it was just a subconscious action.
He didn't explain much. After leaving the airport, he hailed a taxi and gave the driver an address.
The taxi had barely started moving when Xi Heng's phone rang.
Dr. Tang's phone call.
Xi Heng answered the call, and Dr. Tang's voice came from inside.
Song Jinhuan's eyes lit up, and she perked up her ears and leaned closer.
Xi Heng glanced at her and silently moved the phone closer to her ear.
"Xi Heng, haven't you arrived in City C yet?"
Xi Heng: "We've arrived."
"Then why didn't the people I arranged see you? Did you leave the airport?"
Xi Heng: "I told you long ago that there's no need to arrange your people. I will complete the tasks you assigned."
Dr. Tang's voice grew urgent: "But I've arranged the best accommodations for you! I've even prepared people to keep you company!"
Anyone who isn't a fool can understand the hidden meaning in those words.
Xi Heng had clearly rejected everything Dr. Tang said, but he still couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he heard those words.
He glanced at the girl, noticing that she still looked curious, and explained, "Don't overthink it, I'm annoyed by his arrangements."
Dr. Tang frowned: "What are you overthinking? What do you mean, 'overthinking'?"
Then he heard a woman's voice coming from the other side.
"I didn't think much of it."
Dr. Tang's eyes widened like saucers, and his trembling hands gripped his phone tightly.
That voice sounds familiar; it's Tang Wanqiu's.
"Why did you bring her along when you're doing this? What if you can't get the job done?"
In his eyes, the delicate and frail Tang Wanqiu was just a burden.
Anyway, if Xi Heng doesn't handle things well, it's all her fault!
Xi Heng quickly hung up the phone.
The busy signal made Dr. Tang even more frustrated!
The taxi suddenly became very quiet.
Song Jinhuan sighed inwardly, overwhelmed with emotion; Dr. Tang's prejudice against her was truly profound.
"Don't take what Dr. Tang said to heart."
He will get it back for the girl from somewhere else.
Song Jinhuan smiled and said, "Of course I won't take it to heart."
He's just an insignificant person.
The taxi driver was a gossip enthusiast, and he had gathered some information about the situation of the young couple behind him.
The man's elders did not allow the two to be together, so the man took advantage of a business trip to bring the woman to another city so they could have some alone time.
To avoid being picked up by his elders, the man deliberately avoided the people who were supposed to pick him up at the airport.
Now that the elders know the truth, they are furious.
But the man hung up the phone in time.
The driver felt a little disappointed and was curious to know how things would develop.
