That night, the two did not engage in marital relations because the flight was at 7 AM, and they had to arrive two hours in advance, meaning they would have to leave around 4 AM. If they engaged in any more activities, they wouldn't get any sleep.
At four in the morning the next day, the two finally managed to get up after their alarm had gone off three times. Time was tight, so they didn't cook breakfast. After washing up and packing all their luggage, they drove to the airport. An hour later, they arrived at the Binhai Airport. Upon entering the parking lot, the sight of a meter-high sign detailing the parking fees made Li Hao Chen's mouth twitch. A hundred yuan a day, it was truly highway robbery.
With past experience, the process was very familiar. After completing the check-in and baggage drop, the two went to the food court on the third basement level to have breakfast. Actually, they could have eaten on the plane, but by the time they got their food, they would have been starving.
Not long after breakfast, they heard the announcement for boarding.
First class was truly first class. They went through VIP security, successfully passed through, and were even escorted directly to the plane. The service was truly… Upon boarding the plane, they followed instructions to the innermost first-class cabin. The spacious area had only sixteen seats, living up to its legendary reputation for being high-end, grand, and stylish. Even the flight attendants were different.
Finding their seats, the two sat down. The seats were truly spacious and comfortable, and equipped with many functions, meeting all needs for entertainment and communication. What was most surprising was the dining experience, where they could order at any time. Coffee and tea were prepared on-site by dedicated staff, ensuring a truly VIP experience.
"It's really comfortable, just a bit expensive."
"It's alright. Last time, the comfort and luxury of my aunt's 650 were even better. When we have enough money, how about we buy a plane and travel the world?"
"Tsk—" Just as Li Hao Chen was about to say something, a contemptuous laugh came from the seat behind them. This made Li Hao Chen somewhat displeased. He turned his head and saw a greasy, fat pig staring at them with a sarcastic smile. Seeing Li Hao Chen look at him, the pig nonchalantly picked up the coffee in his hand and took a sip. The golden Rolex on his wrist was displayed for a long time, as if afraid no one would see it.
Li Hao Chen's lips curved into a smile, and then he rolled up his sleeves, picked up his own milk tea, and held it up in the air for twenty to thirty seconds before putting it down.
The fat man behind him had seen it and scurried back into his seat, keeping to himself. He was an idiot; anyone who could afford first class would be worse off than him?
Murong Yan Ran was also amused by Li Hao Chen's slightly childish behavior, covering her mouth and chuckling softly.
After a while, Murong Yan Ran pulled Li Hao Chen and said, "Hao Chen, Aunt called me a few days ago. Grandma is celebrating her 80th birthday next month, and she wants me to go back. I'd like you to accompany me."
"Is it appropriate?"
"It should be fine. I want the elders to meet you."
"Okay, what kind of gift should we prepare?"
"I'm struggling with that. Can you help me think about it when you have time?"
"Sure, we can discuss it together then."
After chatting for a while, they adjusted their seats to rest. They hadn't slept for many hours last night and were very tired. Within two minutes, they were fast asleep.
"Sir, Madam, the plane is about to land. Please fasten your seatbelts."
The two, asleep, were woken by a very pleasant voice. Opening their eyes, they saw it was the dedicated flight attendant for first class, looking at them with a very sweet smile.
"Uh, okay, thank you!"
After fastening their seatbelts, there was soon a rapid feeling of weightlessness. After a dozen seconds, it stabilized.
After disembarking the plane smoothly and collecting their luggage, the two took a taxi to the hotel. The journey was quite long, and it took nearly an hour to reach the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland in Songjiang District.
Upon arrival, it was truly awe-inspiring. The architectural concept developed in reverse towards the sky, built against the deep pit cliff face. The hotel's interior design was closely connected to the natural landscape, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment. This was the harmony between nature and artificial design, truly worthy of being called a "World Architectural Wonder."
There was a long queue for check-in, and it took them almost an hour to complete the process. However, once they entered the room, they felt it was all worth it.
Li Hao Chen and Murong Yan Ran had booked a water-view suite. The living room was above, close to the water surface, but the room below was astonishing, as if they were in an underwater world. In such an environment, it had a unique charm.
