Chapter 590 Extra - Chen Ci's Return Journey
Seeing her resolute attitude, Cheng Cheng pulled the clothes out of the drawer and threw them on the ground: "Here you go! Aren't you also trying to use clothes to snag a rich husband? What's with the high and mighty attitude?"
She snorted: "Don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, or I'll make you regret it!"
After saying that, she glanced at Fang Tong and left gracefully.
Fang Tong picked up the coat from the ground, tidied it up a bit, put it in a bag, and then put it in the drawer.
However, Chen Chu did not have his colleagues come to pick up the clothes that day, and he took Jian Yan on a trip on Saturday and Sunday.
Fang Tong waited until Monday but no one came to pick up her clothes, so she took them to the dry cleaners when she got off work.
Coffee stains like these become difficult to remove over time.
She also wanted Jian Yan and Chen Chu's business deal; after all, the marriage of a wealthy entertainment company president would surely bring in a substantial commission.
After her brother's illness was diagnosed, she feared that the treatment would cost a lot of money, so she needed to save money as soon as possible.
However, Chen Chu seemed to have forgotten about the dress and didn't send anyone to the wedding company to pick it up until Friday.
On Friday afternoon, Fang Tong arrived at the airport with a small team from the wedding planning company. They were going on a business trip to another city to plan a wedding.
After checking in their luggage, Fang Tong went to the restroom before going through security. When she came out, she heard everyone whispering.
"President Chen Chu is so handsome! I didn't expect him to look so good in casual clothes."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he perfectly matches the image of the white-clad youth in my mind."
"Still a teenager? You're almost 30, aren't you?"
"So what if he's 30? Does being 30 mean you can't have a youthful vibe? Didn't you see he's carrying a skateboard? He's definitely a genuine skateboarding kid!"
"Pshaw, stop swooning. She's getting married soon."
Fang Tong listened briefly for a couple of minutes, then followed the crowd's gaze and indeed saw a figure standing out from the crowd.
Dressed in white casual wear, he pushed his luggage with one hand and carried a long plank in the other.
You can't tell who it is from behind, but you can tell that they have an elegant and refined air about them.
The receptionist, Xiao A, tugged at Fang Tong's sleeve: "Sister Fang Tong, President Chen Chu just walked right past us! It's such a pity you didn't see it!"
Fang Tong: "...Let's hurry up and go through security, or we'll be running out of time."
Her reminder made everyone reluctantly walk towards the security checkpoint. Shu Tong, who was at the back, subconsciously looked back one last time.
As luck would have it, just as she turned her head, the man also turned his head and looked in their direction.
A somewhat familiar figure flashed by. The man paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly before walking away again.
...
At this moment, Tianfu Courtyard was bustling with activity.
Jian Yan, Chen Chu, Xiao Miao, and Chen Song have all arrived and are making barbecue skewers with Lin Feiyan in the kitchen.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Feiyan called Ye Qingning and asked directly after the call connected, "Have you picked up Aci?"
"He's walking towards the parking lot, he'll be there soon, we'll head straight home."
"Okay, no rush. Drive carefully," Lin Feiyan instructed.
"Okay, I miss you, my dear Yan."
Ye Qingning's gentle voice came from the hands-free phone, which made the others start to cheer.
Lin Feiyan smiled and said, "I missed you too, baby."
Everyone laughed again, and Ye Qingning realized what was happening: "Please put it on speakerphone."
"Okay, let's put on some more meat skewers."
Ye Qingning blushed immediately: "I'm not talking to you anymore, bye-bye."
After the call ended, Lin Feiyan explained with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for several days, can't we chat a little?"
“How many days is that!” Jian Yan chimed in: “Qing Ning left for the event yesterday morning, so it’s only been two days at most.”
"A day apart feels like three autumns, is that not allowed?" Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Jian Yan laughed: "Fine, you're right."
Xiao Miao asked timidly from the side, "Why did Chairman Lin let Qing Ning go to the event alone this time?"
"It's not that I was willing to give up, it's just that the quarterly meeting held me back, otherwise I would have gone with them long ago," Chu Song explained.
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "Oh right, I forgot about that."
Chu Song raised his hand and tapped her head: "Besides remembering what you eat, what else can you remember?"
Xiao Miao stuck out her tongue: "Life is all about eating and drinking..."
Everyone laughed.
...
At the airport, Ye Qingning waited for a short while before spotting Chen Ci.
The man was wearing a white hoodie and white casual pants. He was tall and had long legs, making him stand out in the crowd.
She got out of the car and waved to him: "Aci, over here."
Chen Ci smiled and strode over, not forgetting to banter as he approached: "Long time no see, Little Ye Zi."
Ye Qingning opened the trunk to put his luggage in, and gave him a reproachful look: "Call me sister-in-law, stop calling me 'Little Ye' all the time, I'm an elder."
Chen Ci smiled, put the luggage in the trunk, and took out the skateboard separately and handed it to Ye Qingning.
"A gift for my sister-in-law."
Ye Qingning took it and said, "Thanks! You carried it all the way back, as if we can't buy it here."
“You can buy it, but it has a different meaning.” Chen Ci helped her lift the skateboard and pointed to the signature on it: “Look, whose signature is this?”
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up at one glance: "Skateboard master, he's my idol!"
The two got into the car with smiles on their faces. As Chen Ci fastened his seatbelt, he asked, "So, can this board be bought in Qing City?"
Ye Qingning held it like a precious treasure: "If I can't buy it, I'll frame it and hang it in the skateboard room when I get home, and admire it every day."
Chen Ci laughed: "That's not the case. I'm afraid the boss will be chopped up and used as firewood."
Ye Qingning smiled too.
The car drove out of the underground parking lot and onto the airport expressway, heading towards Tianfu Bieyuan.
Holding her skateboard, Ye Qingning asked him, "How long can you stay in Qing City this time?"
"It's uncertain." Chen Ci's eyes became serious. "There are several difficult cases waiting for me to solve, and there is also an eight-year-old child whose condition is very complicated and I'm afraid it cannot be cured in a short time."
Ye Qingning nodded, her expression softening slightly: "Alright, everyone talks about you every time we have a get-together. You should spend more time with us; it's not easy for everyone to get together."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Ci nodded: "Anyway, no matter where you go, the result will be the same. You will still miss those you miss, and you will still not see those you are destined not to see."
Chen Ci smiled wryly and concluded, "It's the same everywhere. At least in Qing City, there are people who listen to me."
Ye Qingning's eyes flickered: "Your brother arranged a blind date for you, but actually I also have someone suitable I'd like to introduce you to..."
"Sister-in-law, can I call you sister-in-law? You don't need to join in the fun."
Chen Ci leaned back in his chair: "It's one thing if my brother is unreliable on his own, but I can at least have some peace and quiet for a year or two after dealing with him this time."
