Chapter 1191 The Assassin
Jiang Biyun was truly speechless, but being spoken to like that by her daughter naturally made her feel a bit embarrassed.
She forced herself to say, "Haven't we helped him enough? Besides, you've seen it yourself, he's always getting into trouble. If it weren't for your grandfather's connections this time, he would never have been able to return to the Su family in the capital!"
"Whether it was grandfather's connections is still debatable," Su Yunxi said.
She felt that Chen Xuan didn't seem like the type to lie, and her grandfather's explanation also seemed reasonable. She wasn't entirely sure of the exact situation.
"You still don't believe me..." Jiang Biyun pouted, looking helpless.
Just then, an announcement was broadcast on the plane again: "Flight CA7298 from the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province to the capital is about to take off. Passengers in business class, seat 3-4, please board immediately!"
Jiang Biyun said impatiently, "Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
At that moment, a tall and attractive flight attendant gracefully approached Su Yunxi and respectfully said, "Miss Su, we have already delayed for twenty minutes, and Mr. Chen still hasn't arrived. What do you think... we should do?"
"Can we wait another ten minutes?"
Su Yunxi took a breath and said.
The flight attendant knew Su Yunxi's identity, so she nodded in agreement, but they could only wait for another ten minutes. It was important to note that many people on the plane were already starting to express their dissatisfaction. Although Su Yunxi had power and influence, with the way things spread online nowadays, matters could easily spiral out of control.
However, after waiting for another ten minutes, Chen Xuan still hadn't arrived. Su Yunxi couldn't say anything more and could only sigh helplessly. Then, the flight attendant closed the cabin door.
Su Yunxi looked out through the window, her heart feeling extremely heavy.
Did Chen Xuan intend to stay in Jiangnan Province and not accompany her to the capital?
But then again, the road to the capital was long and arduous. Perhaps Chen Xuan choosing to stay in Jiangnan Province was a good choice.
With this thought, she felt slightly at ease.
Yet, her heart still felt empty, as if she had lost something most precious.
"Oh my, the snacks on the plane are really delicious!"
Suddenly, a cheerful voice sounded near Su Yunxi's ear.
Su Yunxi trembled as if electrocuted. Through the reflection in the glass, she could vaguely see a familiar face sitting in the seat next to her!
An illusion?
A hallucination?
A fixation of the heart?
She abruptly turned her head and saw Chen Xuan lounging casually in the seat next to her, his legs crossed, holding a strawberry cream cake, and devouring it.
It wasn't an illusion; it was really Chen Xuan!
Her nose couldn't help but feel a sting.
He had kept his promise.
"Chen Xuan, how did you get in?"
Following that, Su Yunxi glanced at the closed cabin door and asked suspiciously.
"The door was closed, so I pushed it open and came in," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, his expression as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Su Yunxi looked at him with a strange expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But... could the cabin door really be pushed open?
"Are there any more cakes? I didn't eat enough this morning."
After finishing the cake, Chen Xuan licked the cream from his fingers and turned to look at the beautiful flight attendant beside him.
The beautiful flight attendant seemed very afraid of Chen Xuan and said tremblingly, "There are plenty, please eat as much as you like..."
As she spoke, she brought over the plates containing the cakes.
Chen Xuan cheerfully took two pieces, handing one to Su Yunxi and keeping the other for himself. While eating, he said to the beautiful flight attendant, "Don't think I've eaten too many of your cakes. You'll know how good I am later."
As he spoke, he glanced at a few figures in the business class.
As his gaze swept over them, those people quickly lowered their heads.
The beautiful flight attendant nodded sheepishly, not daring to retort.
She clearly remembered the scene of Chen Xuan prying open the cabin door with his bare arms just moments ago. It was truly terrifying. How could one person possess such strength?
"Chen Xuan, why are you so late? Do you know that because of you, we've already been delayed by half an hour?" Jiang Biyun said with dissatisfaction.
"Aunt Jiang, I apologize. I had a minor matter to attend to," Chen Xuan said faintly.
Jiang Biyun didn't say much more. She also knew that although Chen Xuan accompanying them to the capital might bring them a lot of trouble, it would also bring many benefits.
"It hurts..."
Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt a sharp pain in his arm.
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Su Yunxi pinching the soft flesh on the inside of his arm. That spot was extremely sensitive.
"Yunxi, why are you pinching me?"
"Pinching you? Are you planning to run off with those vixen friends of yours and not accompany me to the capital?" Su Yunxi said coldly.
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Xuan's eyes widened instantly. He hadn't told Su Yunxi about this; how could she know?
"I trust my intuition," Su Yunxi said in a deep voice.
Chen Xuan: "..."
What is an ironclad case?
This is an ironclad case!
Based solely on intuition, and without giving you any chance to refute!
He said sheepishly, "Yunxi, I'm back now. Besides, I promised you I would definitely accompany you to the capital. How could I bear to let you go to that dangerous place like the capital alone?!"
"I guessed correctly, didn't I? Hmph!" Su Yunxi snorted coquettishly.
Chen Xuan: "..."
He didn't know how to explain for a moment.
However, Su Yunxi then said, "Forget it, I'll let you off this time for now. But next time you want to see them, you must tell me, and I'll go with you."
"Uh..."
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
If you go with them, won't they be like mice meeting a cat?
Then, it would be the turn of those three women to make things difficult for him!
However, he still patted his chest and agreed.
Su Yunxi folded down the armrest separating her and Chen Xuan, turning their seats into one large seat. She snuggled into Chen Xuan's arms, holding him tightly like a quiet kitten.
At this moment, she never wanted to be apart from Chen Xuan again.
The scent was intoxicating!
Chen Xuan also gently placed his arm around Su Yunxi's shoulder, enjoying the infinite warmth and beauty!
But just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "You are Chen Xuan, aren't you?"
Chen Xuan looked up and saw several fierce-looking men standing before him, their eyes like hawks, emitting a chilling killing intent!
Su Yunxi naturally noticed these men as well. The last time, on the way to Hong Kong, she had encountered a similar assassination attempt. She immediately realized what was happening and moved out of Chen Xuan's embrace: "Chen Xuan, these guys are killers!"
"Shut up!"
One of the burly men with tattoos all over his arm swung his thick arm, intending to slap Su Yunxi across the face.
Su Yunxi's face turned pale with fear, but she remained relatively calm, ducking into Chen Xuan's embrace, as if Chen Xuan's arms were the safest place in the world.
But indeed, Chen Xuan's embrace was the safest place!
Suddenly, the arm froze in mid-air, unable to move an inch further.
Because, a palm had grabbed the man's arm...
