"What's wrong? You don't actually want to live with me anymore?" I teased deliberately.
He smiled and asked in return, "We're a couple, isn't that just natural?"
"Hmph, dream on!"
Little Cherry came over from behind, saw me on the phone, and waited quietly.
I glanced at her and hurriedly said goodbye to Su Shenglin: "Okay, that's all for now. Go to the hotel and wait for me. I'll rush back as soon as I'm done."
Before Su Shenglin could respond, I put down my phone and asked Xiao Yingtao what was wrong.
After another hour of work, the rehearsal finally came to an end.
Yang Qianmu gathered all his colleagues together for a final meeting to ensure that everything was in perfect order.
Before the meeting was over, Xiao Yingtao leaned over, put a hand to my ear, and whispered, "Sister Wan, look who's here..."
My heart skipped a beat, and I subconsciously looked up and around, just in time to see that familiar figure walking in from the entrance of the venue.
We met each other's eyes from a great distance.
In that instant, my heart skipped several beats.
Su Shenglin smiled at me from afar and pointed to the chair closest to him, clearly indicating that he should sit there for a while.
I smiled back and looked away to continue listening to Yang Qianmu's meeting, but my heart had already wandered off uncontrollably.
The meeting lasted another half hour before finally ending.
Everyone stood up and saw Su Shenglin. They teased him, "President Jiang, Mr. Su and you are really inseparable. He came all this way to see you."
I felt embarrassed and didn't dare to respond. I could only politely say, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Get some rest early tonight. Once you've finished working on the next two days, you can relax a bit."
My colleagues were indeed tired and left quickly.
Little Cherry greeted me and then ran off in a flash.
With no one around, I gathered my things, picked them up, and walked towards Su Shenglin.
My heart was already elsewhere, but I was a little shy and nervous, so I deliberately dawdled.
Su Shenglin stood up and greeted everyone as his colleagues left.
Seeing me approaching, he walked slowly towards me and decided to come and meet me.
As he approached, he opened his arms, and a smile grew increasingly pronounced on his handsome and refined face.
I could no longer hold back, a smile suddenly bloomed on my face, and I rushed over.
Su Shenglin caught me steadily, put his arms around my waist, and then spun me around several times.
Many foreigners around were drawn to this scene, their eyes filled with anticipation as if watching a good show.
When Su Shenglin put me down, our eyes met, and I blushed so badly that my cheeks burned. "There are so many people watching, and you still don't know how to behave yourself."
He lowered his head and kissed me, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes and brows. "Anyway, we don't know each other, so let them look. Besides, didn't you say that foreigners kiss passionately in broad daylight on the street?"
"..." I gave him a coquettish glance, without responding.
He still remembers what he said.
"Can we go now?" Su Shenglin asked softly, holding my hand.
"Okay." I nodded in agreement, and then asked with concern, "Are you tired? If you are, go back to the hotel. If you're not tired, go get something to eat first."
"Go get something to eat, you must be hungry after all this work."
"Thank you, Second Master Su, you are so thoughtful and considerate."
He glanced back at me and deliberately squeezed my hand tightly.
I pretended to be angry and slapped him.
On the streets of a foreign land, perhaps because no one knew us, we were noticeably more relaxed, flirting and teasing each other without any restraint.
When I got to where he parked, I noticed three people standing next to the car.
Including Xiao Yang behind me, there were four burly men.
I was a little confused. "You're going out with so many people?"
He explained in a low voice, "Two of them are not my men."
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Two of the comrades were sent by other departments, partly to protect my safety, and partly... to prevent me from having any ulterior motives."
I was increasingly confused. "Distorted thoughts? What do you mean?"
He was about to explain when I suddenly realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise, "It's because I'm afraid of you..."
"Hmm." He nodded, and seeing my frozen expression, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Scared?"
"No..." I came to my senses, shook my head and said, "If I had known that going abroad would be so troublesome, I should have firmly stopped you from coming."
How could I not have thought of that? His profession is so special that getting approval to go abroad must be very complicated.
If things go wrong, people might misunderstand and think there are ulterior motives.
Su Shenglin knew I was overthinking it and explained, "I can go abroad, it's just that the procedures are a bit complicated. Don't worry, it's all legal and compliant. Those two comrades are accompanying me; it's their duty."
I couldn't help but wonder, "Since it's so complicated, how do you manage to just pack up and go?"
Su Shenglin opened the car door, and after I got in, he followed me in, explaining, "Since you said you'd be here for the New Year back in January, I've been planning to come and be with you, so I applied in advance."
So that's how it is!
I couldn't help but nod. "You're such a good pretender. You had everything planned out in advance, but you still pretended to ask for my opinion."
He smiled and said, "You originally didn't want me to come, and I did cancel my plans. But I couldn't get through to you on New Year's Eve, which scared me. Seeing how tired you were and how you weren't sleeping well, I decided to come and keep you company."
