"Boss Shang, let's discuss this."
Perhaps because she rinsed her mouth too many times, Shu Qingqing's lips are now red and swollen, turning into those pouty lips.
Shang Duojin couldn't help but laugh when he saw her speaking like that.
But he suppressed his anger and asked with a stern face, "What do you want to discuss?"
Shu Qingqing turned her face away, her ears burning red: "Let's discuss it, let's pretend nothing happened, okay?"
Originally, this was just a coincidence, and Shang Duojin didn't want to take it to heart.
Seeing Shu Qingqing's expression, as if she wanted nothing more than to stay far away from him, he suddenly changed his mind.
"What? Your voice is too soft. Can you come closer and talk to me? What are you saying, as soft as a mosquito's hum?"
Even after the aircraft takes off, the roar of the aircraft can still be heard, albeit at a relatively low volume.
Soft music is playing now, and if you speak softly, it's probably impossible to be heard.
Shu Qingqing didn't think much of it, turned her head, then leaned close to Shang Duojin's ear and said, "I said, could you... um..."
With a wicked expression, Shang Duojin pressed his lips, which had also turned into pouty lips, against Shu Qingqing's, his round eyes filled with the pleasure of playing a prank.
"You're complaining about me? I'll just not do what you want, you bad woman! You kissed me first, and I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already complaining about me!!"
At this moment, their kiss was completely devoid of any romantic intentions, especially Shang Duojin, whose entire demeanor was very childish.
It's just like the kind of brat Shu Qingqing met when she was little: "If I get your clothes dirty, you have to get mine dirty too."
She was stunned.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and launched an attack on Shang Duojin.
The commotion from the fight was quite loud, but Qiao Mei and Ao Cang only glanced at it before looking away.
It seems this isn't the first time this has happened.
At 9:55 a.m., when the aircraft arrived at its destination, it was raining heavily in Manchester, so the aircraft had to wait at the airfield for a while after disembarking.
This is not the main city of Orchid Star, and the transportation is very backward. Currently, the only available modes of transportation are hovercars and cars.
In addition, Philadelphia is the largest no-man's-land in the Orchid Fragrance area, and once people leave the area around the airfield, their personal safety cannot be guaranteed.
Shang Duojin glanced at the Philadelphia skyline outside the transparent glass, his disdain quite evident.
At first glance, it was all shrouded in mist, not much different from the early industrial city prototypes that Qiao Mei had seen in modern history books.
Such a landscape would indeed be quite rare in a highly developed interstellar environment, and could even be considered backward.
"Luckily, I brought a lot of bodyguards this time, but I can't be too high-profile, or it will be harder to find that person."
As he spoke, Shang Duojin took out the civilian clothes he had prepared in advance from his smart bracelet and asked Qiao Mei and the others if they wanted to change their clothes first.
The fabric and style of clothing can also reveal a person's social status.
Qiao Mei is a member of the Xu family, and neither Xu Wenfeng nor Xu Hui would let her wear anything too shabby, so it's important to change into something that won't attract attention.
Since Ao Cang lived with Qiao Mei, it was only natural that he wouldn't dress too poorly.
Shu Qingqing, who was trying to save money to buy a house, didn't wear any designer brands; her clothes were only mid-range.
She watched the others head towards the locker room, then glanced at herself. Despite trying to stop herself from overthinking, she couldn't control herself.
She took several deep breaths, feeling the heavy feeling in her chest disappear, before opening her smart bracelet to check her previous plans for coming to Manchester.
According to Shang Duojin's investigation, Wan Shishi's gambling neighbor, Sun Tian, fled to Manchester, partly to hide his whereabouts, since it's a lawless area.
Secondly, Manchester City has many gambling establishments, so he can satisfy his gambling cravings while staying here.
Shu Qingqing glanced at the places she had marked, recalling the days when she and her scumbag mother scurried around the streets like rats. She no longer felt the anger and hatred she once felt when recalling those things.
There was only tranquility.
"What are you thinking, you bad woman? What do we do next?"
Shang Duojin changed into a blue and white striped overall and shirt, which made Shu Qingqing's eyes sting.
Qiao Mei and Ao Cang changed into black and beige casual clothes respectively, and wore baseball caps that looked like they were a couple.
Standing next to Shang Duojin, Shang Duojin looks like a little kid who's still in middle school.
Shu Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, refusing to look at him anymore as he poisoned her eyes, and projected her prepared plan into the air.
“We certainly can’t stay here for just a while. We need to find a hotel to rest. This one is very close to the casino we’re going to. Do you have any opinions?”
Qiao Mei and the others had never been to Manchester before, so of course they would do whatever Shu Qingqing said.
After getting into the hovercar, Qiao Mei asked with some concern, "What about the bodyguards that Boss Shang brought? Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if they all came along?"
"We can go in batches." Shu Qingqing glanced at the ten groups of bodyguards who had also changed into casual clothes and looked completely normal. "Manchester gets a lot of people every weekend, so they shouldn't be suspected if they go in batches."
Qiao Mei felt a little relieved after hearing her words, and upon arriving at their destination, she booked a double room.
Previously, when she and Ao Cang stayed in hotels or inns together, they always booked single rooms with double beds. This time, since the two of them were still having a cold war, it was only natural that they wouldn't book a double room.
I thought that this might make Ao Cang give in.
Who knew that she had just gone to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came out, the two beds that were originally far apart were pushed together, and even the sheets and blankets were replaced with extra-large ones.
Just as the unassuming housekeeper, who had kept her work quiet, was pushing her cart away with a smile, Qiao Mei came out.
The aunt nodded and smiled at her with a knowing look, and then whispered some advice to her:
"Even the tongue and teeth can sometimes fight, let alone feelings. Young lady, I can see that your boyfriend really takes good care of you. When he changed the sheets, he even asked me to prepare a leak-proof pad for you, and he also asked me to get a lot of things for warming your uterus. They're all there."
Qiao Mei had a bit of a headache and didn't want to say that the other person was meddling, so she could only reply politely.
After the aunt left, she took two extra long pillows and placed them in the middle of the bed.
“Use these two pillows as a boundary. You can’t cross over, or I won’t mind calling the auntie over to bring back the single sheet and blanket.”
Ao Cang nodded obediently. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Shu Qingqing's voice came from outside: "Qiaoqiao, are you ready? Can you come downstairs with me to change rooms?"
