Airport lounge…

Song Fengwan ran away after speaking. Of the remaining two, one had a chilling expression while the other was helpless and in a panic.

Qiao Aiyun found a way out for the two of them and planned to go out and punish the girl. But before she reached the door, she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around again, she saw Yan Wangchuan’s cold and dark face…

… closing in on her domineeringly.

He had few expressions and looked extremely cold.

He was wearing a suit as usual, and even the buttons of his shirt were meticulously buttoned up all the way to his collar. He looked capable and smart, and his usually reserved aura was also very scary.

His cold and solemn eyes locked onto her firmly as he slowly walked toward her.

He was like the most elegant cheetah, dangerous and domineering.

“Senior Brother…” Qiao Aiyun was forced to retreat again and again, subconsciously backing away until she had nowhere else to hide.

Yan Wangchuan looked at her silently.

Qiao Aiyun coughed twice. “Wanwan is spouting nonsense. This girl has been very bold recently, and now she even dares to tease her elders. I’ll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back. Don’t be angry. How could you possibly do that to me…”

She moved her fingers behind her and fumbled around for the door handle, attempting to leave.

Yan Wangchuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. “She wasn’t lying.”

Qiao Aiyun felt a little dizzy.

“I indeed kissed you secretly.”

She lowered her head bitterly. “Um, I…”

Yan Wangchuan’s cold and taciturn image had long been ingrained in her heart. To her, he was upright and honest. He secretly kissed me? She really didn’t dare to think much into it.

“I also did something else.”

“Something else?”

“I even touched you.”

I’ve really never seen such a straightforward person. How can you say that so self-righteously when you were being a hooligan?

Touch?

Even at such an age, her face flushed red from embarrassment.

“…”

“I touched your face.”

Qiao Aiyun could clearly feel her heart palpitating faster.

She had no idea of how to communicate with him at all. If you behaved like a hooligan secretly, you could just hide it. Must you tell me about it?

There was a long period of silence.

Qiao Aiyun was suffering in her heart and about to go crazy.

“It’s about time to board the plane. Why don’t we go out?” she suggested tentatively.

A certain someone then said something again, making her feel as though she was struck by lightning.

“I want to be closer to you.”

Qiao Aiyun looked at him in shock, her face fiery red as though she had a fever.

She kept feeling like she was hearing things. “… Senior Brother, I…”

“I’m like this because I want to be closer to you,” Yan Wangchuan explained, his ears already completely red.

Qiao Aiyun had a certain understanding of his temperament. It was definitely very difficult for him to say this. Moreover, the two of them were very close at the moment, so his vigorous and strong heartbeat was clear and audible.

She never knew that a person’s heart could actually beat so violently.

As she listened to his heartbeat, her heart also started to palpitate faster.

Qiao Aiyun pondered for a long time. She had also been thinking a lot about her relationship with Yan Wangchuan these days.

“Actually, you can just say whatever you want to say. You usually keep all your words to yourself, and I really can’t figure you out.

“I know how you feel about me… We can try interacting with each other first.”

Yan Wangchuan’s palms were full of sweat. He was so nervous that it felt as though there were two hands squeezing his neck, making it slightly difficult to breathe.

“But at my age, I really don’t have the time and energy to guess your thoughts. If you keep a cold face and don’t say anything, I will feel very stressed to be together with you…”

Last night, Qiao Wangbei had also talked to her for a long time.

It had been nothing more than telling her to consider Yan Wangchuan and that the misfortune of her twenty years of marriage shouldn’t become a stumbling block in her search for happiness. He had also told her not to be content with things just staying the same and that Yan Wangchuan was worthy of her putting in her sincere feelings.

Although Yan Wangchuan always said things about getting married, Qiao Wangbei wouldn’t agree to it if they really progressed that fast. He only persuaded her to interact more with Yan Wangchuan first and give him a chance.

Qiao Aiyun had originally planned to chat with him after he returned from Nanjiang, but she hadn’t expected him to speak first. “Actually, if you don’t mind my past, we can give it a try.”

After a long time, Yan Wangchuan still didn’t speak, making her feel somewhat awkward.

I’ve already taken the initiative to speak, so why is this rigid and stubborn bull starting to pretend he’s dead?

She hesitated and tentatively poked the back of his hand. “Senior Brother? Why aren’t you saying anything? If you don’t like it, just pretend I didn’t say anything…”

Was I just flattering myself into thinking that he likes me?

She retracted her hand awkwardly. Yan Wangchuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand tightly.

His hand was scaldingly hot, and his palms were sweaty.

“You…” Yan Wangchuan stared at her. “Are you being serious?”

“Do I look like I’m joking with you?” Qiao Aiyun was caught between laughter and tears. “Alright, let’s talk about it when you come back. Auntie has been waiting outside for a long time. It’s time for you to go through the security check.”

“There’s something…”

“Huh?”

They were very close to each other. As he wasn’t talking, Qiao Aiyun could only find another topic. She smelled the scent of cigarette smoke on his shirt. “Did you smoke early in the morning?”

“I was feeling annoyed.” Yan Wangchuan remembered her words. If there’s anything, just say it.

“What’s bothering you? Is your work not going well?”

“I don’t want to leave.”

Qiao Aiyun’s heart trembled. This person…

“… It’s almost time. We should go out.” Qiao Aiyun tried to distance herself from him, but a certain someone was too strong and refused to budge. “Senior Brother…”

She looked up…

And a hot, wet kiss landed on the top of her forehead. She froze.

“I want to…”

The rest of his words were obvious.

Not knowing when, the two of them started kissing…

Only when there was a knock on the door did Yan Wangchuan let go of Qiao Aiyun reluctantly, and both of their breathings weren’t smooth.

“How much longer are you two going to take?” It was Qiao Wangbei’s voice. The two of them had been in there for more than ten minutes.

“We’ll be out soon.” Qiao Aiyun panted anxiously.

When they both almost calmed down, Yan Wangchuan said, “Let’s go out.”

Qiao Aiyun sighed and reached out to help him tidy up his slightly messy clothes. Her face was red out of embarrassment. “Take good care of yourself.”

“I’ll be back soon.” Yan Wangchuan seemed unsatisfied and kept staring at her mouth.

Qiao Aiyun thought that since she was already at this age and the two of them had already kissed, there was no need for her to be so pretentious. She nodded in agreement.

When the two of them went out, the three people outside the lounge looked at their tightly held hands in surprise.

In particular, Qiao Aiyun’s mouth…

Just a bit ago, these two seemed unfamiliar with each other. But after only ten minutes, they had already progressed so fast.

Old Madam Yan looked relieved. My son finally isn’t going to be single anymore.

He’s finally enlightened.

The two families exchanged some pleasantries before separating.

Only after the two people of the Yan family passed through the security check and disappeared from sight did the other three people turn around to leave.

***

Yuncheng, Fu residence…

Fu Chen was copying Buddhist scriptures, and Huai Sheng was beside him practicing writing. Fu Chen’s phone vibrated twice.

He picked it up to take a look.

After knowing that Yan Wangchuan was leaving, Fu Chen naturally had to send Yan Wangchuan his regards. Fu Chen had sent his message at seven in the morning. I wish you a safe trip.

Usually, with Yan Wangchuan’s temperament, he wouldn’t have replied to the message. So it was strange that he did this time.

He clicked on it.

The big deal is done. The alliance is canceled.

Fu Chen’s lips twitched. I finally understand today what it means to kick someone to the curb after they’ve outlived their usefulness..
