Chapter 547: Wounds Cannot Cover Up Confidence
Seventeen years later.
At Jinghai Airport, the early autumn sun was shining warmly. Xu Lingwei stood at the airport exit, looking forward to it. After a long time, she saw a familiar figure wearing sunglasses from the crowd. She pouted angrily and her eyes widened in anger. There was nothing she could do, as she was wearing a mask and could only express her dissatisfaction by glaring.
When the man walked towards her with his long, straight legs, Xu Lingwei put her hands on her waist, indicating that she was very angry.
Who would pick up someone at the airport and make them wait so long if they just got off the plane?
"Meibao, welcome back home~"
Fu Chengze wore sunglasses, revealing half of his cold, pale, and delicate face. Just like that, he was so handsome that it infuriated both humans and gods, as if he was a handsome nobleman who walked out of a medieval oil painting.
If he hadn't walked up to Xu Lingwei and immediately hugged her and spun around, Xu Lingwei would have always treated him as a nobleman!
"Tsk tsk, you've gained weight." Xu Lingwei was inexplicably carried off the ground and spun around, and was also told that she had gained weight. Her face instantly turned dark.
"If this wasn't an airport, I would really take off my mask to let you see what my expression is like now." Xu Lingwei said angrily, glaring at Fu Chengze.
Fu Chengze curled his lips, "No need to take off the mask. I've watched you grow up. You must have puffed out your cheeks and pouted your little mouth, looking very cute when you were angry."
Xu Lingwei: “…”Okay, I won’t be angry with him for now.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!" After saying that, Fu Chengze naturally took Xu Lingwei's suitcase.
The young man, almost 25 years old, was over 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. His clothes were simple yet elegant, and he exuded a cool, aloof and ascetic aura.
Xu Lingwei admired him intently, and then sighed: "Brother Chengze, you have been handsome since you were a child. What's rare is that you are 25 years old and still chaste and pure."
Fu Chengze's thin lips trembled. "What do you mean? In your eyes, men are rotten after the age of 25?"
"Hehe, no, no. It's my perspective! The handsome guys I met while studying in Country M were all a bit playboys, unlike you, who have such a good character and never mess around with other girls." Xu Lingwei followed him like a sycophant, stood behind the man and explained with a smile.
Fu Chengze really attaches great importance to innocence. His friends have all found someone to date for the sake of romance. Some are still in relationships, while others have broken up. Only he is proud of being single. He buries himself in the catering industry and never even looks at the women around him.
"People abroad are too open-minded. Meibao, you're not going to have a philandering boyfriend abroad, are you?"
"Of course not. I knew they were unfaithful, but I still dated them. Am I crazy?" Xu Lingwei was also a chaste person. What's more, her face had already discouraged many men who wanted to hit on her.
No matter where she goes, she wears a veil or a mask, which always gives people a sense of mystery and invisibly attracts many people with a strong desire to explore.
And when they see Xu Lingwei's face, they will consciously move away.
Xu Lingwei has long been accustomed to this kind of gap between the past and the present. The older she gets, the more she feels that the scar on her right cheek is a useful weapon for discerning true feelings.
"That's good. Don't bring a foreign boyfriend home. I can't stand it. If you want to find a partner, look for a boy from Jinghai. Otherwise, if you marry somewhere else, Aunt Xu and my mother will be heartbroken. Naturally, I can't stand it either, because I didn't know you were bullied after you got married."
"What are you talking about? Have you already assumed that I will be bullied after I get married?" Xu Lingwei glared at him dissatisfiedly.
Fu Chengze was already used to her glaring at him. He raised his big hand and touched Xu Lingwei's head. "Yes, that's what I think."
"...Get lost." I don't want to say another word to this kind of person.
After leaving the airport, Fu Chengze put the suitcase into the trunk and asked in confusion: "Meibao, didn't you say you would stay when you came back? Why do you have so little luggage?"
"Because I don't want to carry so much. The rest of my luggage has already been packed and is with my good friend. She will send it to me slowly, so there's no rush. Don't doubt that I will go abroad again. I've already said that after graduation I will come back to be with my parents. I just don't know if my father is happy for me to be with them."
The image of her father loving her mother as much as ever for more than ten years and wanting to spend some time alone with her mother whenever he had free time came to her mind, and Xu Lingwei curved her eyes in happiness.
Fu Chengze, who has similar parents, moved out early, but always gets fed up with his parents' dog food when he returns home for dinner. He thought about it carefully and gave his answer: "Three or two days won't bother me, but if it's three to five months, I think Uncle Shen will want to marry you off."
"Fu Chengze, do you still want to be my brother?" Xu Lingwei asked angrily.
"Of course I do. Come, I'll open the door for you." He smiled and opened the passenger door. "Princess, please get in."
Xu Ling lowered her eyes slightly and saw the blueberry cake on the passenger seat. Her eyes lit up slightly. Fu Chengze smiled at her gently: "How is it? Surprise, right? I bought it specially and drove to the airport to pick you up."
"Surprise, thank you Brother Chengze~" Xu Ling smiled and picked up the small cake, bent down and got into the car. Fu Chengze lowered his head to help her fasten her seat belt, "Take off your mask."
Xu Ling hummed slightly, reached one hand to her ear, hooked the mask strap, and took off the mask that covered most of her face, revealing her delicate fair facial features. However, there was a bruised purple scar on her right cheek, which looked like a small centipede crawling on her face. However, such a hideous wound could not hide the brightness and confidence in the girl's eyes.
