With only two days off over the weekend, and considering the increasingly hot weather, they chose a resort in the mountains.
The resort is surrounded by mountains and water, with a cool and comfortable temperature. I heard there are also hot springs, making it a great place to relax on weekends.
"Niannian, call Shihan and ask if she has time to come together?"
After finalizing the location, Gu Baiwei immediately urged Ye Sinian to call Xia Shihan.
Taking advantage of this rare vacation for the workaholic, Gu Baiwei decided to make the most of the opportunity to strengthen their relationship.
If it weren't for this brat's own efforts, his daughter-in-law would be kidnapped sooner or later.
Urged by Gu Baiwei, Ye Sinian had no choice but to make the call.
Xia Shihhan was surprised that Ye Sinian would take the initiative to ask her out, and she immediately agreed with great joy.
On Friday night, the group packed their things and headed to the airport.
Xia Shihhan and Gu Baiwei sat together in the VIP waiting area, their arms linked intimately.
Beside her was Ye Chuyue, chewing gum, legs crossed, dressed in a neutral style, and Ye Sinian, with a notebook on his lap, busy with work even while traveling.
"Miss, is this place taken?"
A familiar, deep male voice came from beside her. Gu Baiwei subconsciously looked up, only to be met with Shen Yanqing's handsome face.
At the same time, another tall figure sat down opposite her, his cold gaze sweeping over Shen Yanqing.
The moment their eyes met in mid-air, Gu Baiwei felt as if she heard crackling electricity in the air.
When Ye Yunting's icy gaze fell on Gu Baiwei, it instantly melted into a pool of spring water: "Weiwei, what a coincidence."
It's really embarrassing for him to use such an outdated way of striking up a conversation.
"Tsk."
A mocking smile crept across Shen Yanqing's lips, but when Gu Baiwei looked over, his face still wore that familiar, gentle smile, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.
He raised the corners of his lips and, mimicking Ye Yunting's tone, said, "Miss Gu, what a coincidence."
A crack appeared on Ye Yunting's usually icy expression. He glanced at Shen Yanqing, snorted coldly, and looked away.
Compared to Ye Yunting's sharp features, Shen Yanqing's features are softer, and coupled with his always upturned lips, he gives people a very approachable feeling.
But only those who truly know him know what kind of ruthlessness and cruelty lies hidden beneath that gentle mask.
Gu Baiwei completely ignored Ye Yunting's blatant gaze and smiled at Shen Yanqing: "Mr. Shen, what brings you here?"
This is the ruthless villain in the book; she dares not offend him.
Shen Yanqing sat down next to her in a languid manner, his tall body leaning back in the chair, his legs crossed, looking relaxed and carefree.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he casually draped one arm over the back of the chair behind her, in an intimate manner.
Ye Yunting's fingers, which were resting on the back of his chair, tightened instantly, and Gu Baiwei could almost hear the cracking sound of his knuckles.
Shen Yanqing didn't answer her question, but instead smiled and asked her, "Miss Gu, are you unhappy to see me?"
Gu Baiwei glanced at the two black-clad bodyguards wearing sunglasses behind him and her lips twitched: "Happy."
The moment the words left his mouth, Ye Yunting's face turned deathly pale. The veins on the back of his hand, which was resting on the armrest, bulged, showing his anger. But there was nothing he could do but stare at the restless hand with his eyes, gritting his teeth.
Shen Yanqing seemed to be in a very good mood, tapping his fingers on the back of the chair and smiling as he greeted everyone around Gu Baiwei.
From the moment this man appeared next to Gu Baiwei, Ye Sinian had been silently watching the commotion, but his attention was focused on Shen Yanqing and he did not notice Ye Yunting opposite him.
Thinking of this man's ruthlessness, Ye Chuyue silently withdrew her crossed legs and politely waved to Chen Yanqing: "Mr. Chen."
Xia Shih-Han smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence."
Seeing that everyone around Gu Baiwei seemed to be very familiar with this Mr. Shen, Ye Yunting was so jealous that he wanted to drag this person out and tear him to pieces on the spot, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't want Gu Baiwei to hate him.
Gu Baiwei watched as Shen Yanqing greeted Xia Shihan with a normal expression, but she felt a little suspicious.
In the novel, Shen Yanqing fell in love with Xia Shihan at first sight. In order to be with Xia Shihan, he went to great lengths and used any means necessary. Why is he so calm now?
Lost in thought, Shen Yanqing's gaze fell once again on Xia Shihan, who was holding her arm. Gu Baiwei subconsciously leaned forward to block his view.
A sudden realization struck her: how could she forget that Xia Shihhan still loved her son? Shen Yanqing was at most a backup option, and even that was one-sided.
Her actions, however, were interpreted in a different light by Shen Yanqing and Ye Yunting, who had been silently watching them.
She cares about him! She won't even let him glance at other women.
Ye Yunting's fingers, which were resting on the back of the chair, curled up, and his gaze on Shen Yanqing became even colder.
This tense atmosphere continued until the group boarded the plane.
When Gu Baiwei boarded the plane, she discovered that her seat had been inexplicably assigned next to Shen Yanqing.
She frowned. This CEO, who supposedly controls the global economic lifeline, has a private jet and instead squeezes onto a commercial flight with them. Is he crazy?
However, she soon ran out of time to think about the problem because she got airsick.
Gu Baiwei felt nauseous, perhaps because she hadn't eaten breakfast.
She leaned back in her seat, pale-faced, feeling dizzy.
Shen Yanqing quickly noticed her unusual behavior, reached out and pulled her head to rest on his shoulder.
Before Gu Baiwei's head could even touch his shoulder, Shen Yanqing's wrist was grabbed by a hand.
Shen Yanqing raised an eyebrow, met Ye Yunting's angry gaze, and said calmly, "Let go."
Ye Yunting didn't move, but the grip on his wrist tightened little by little.
Shen Yanqing narrowed his eyes, and the two black-clad bodyguards behind him immediately stood up from their seats, their threat quite obvious.
The flight attendant who was about to deliver something immediately lowered her eyes and pretended to be looking for something, then returned the way she came.
Ye Yunting snorted coldly and began to roll up his sleeve with his other hand.
Just as the atmosphere became so tense that it seemed like a fight was about to break out, Gu Baiwei gagged and rubbed her forehead in discomfort.
Noticing her unusual behavior, the two men, who had been at odds, instantly softened their expressions.
Ye Yunting released Shen Yanqing's wrist and handed the hot water on his table to Gu Baiwei: "Weiwei, drink some hot water, it might make you feel better."
Shen Yanqing frowned and gave the bodyguard behind her a look.
One of the bodyguards immediately understood and left.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Yanqing let Gu Baiwei lean on his shoulder. The cool scent of pine wood suddenly wafted into her nostrils, which inexplicably eased the nausea in Gu Baiwei's heart, so she did not resist.
Ye Yunting watched this scene, his eyes brimming with emotion.
