“Sister Hu, what do you mean by getting closer to Chu Lingtian?” a man on the other end of the phone asked, not quite understanding Shao Hu’s words.
Shao Hu replied, “It means that Chu Lingtian and I need to be more intimate. Even if we were to sleep together, do that kind of thing between men and women.”
“…Sister Hu, what is this scheme of yours to deal with Liu Bingxue and kill Chu Lingtian, killing two birds with one stone?”
The man on the other end of the phone was very surprised. He wondered what method Shao Hu had to deal with Liu Bingxue and Chu Lingtian. Several days had passed, and the plan hadn’t even officially started, yet now she was talking about sleeping together?
“You’ll know when the time comes. Do as I say,” Shao Hu said sternly.
“Yes!” the man on the other end of the phone replied.
The airport.
After parking the car, Chu Lingtian, Guo Xiaoyan, and Qin Li got out. Led by Qin Li, Chu Lingtian and Guo Xiaoyan arrived at the airport passenger exit to wait.
While Qin Li went to the restroom, Guo Xiaoyan looked at Chu Lingtian and softly called out, “Brother Chu…”
“Xiaoyan, I heard you’ve been working very hard recently and your performance has been excellent,” Chu Lingtian said with a smile.
“It’s okay, Brother Chu. How have you been these past few days?” Guo Xiaoyan asked shyly and a little nervously.
Since that night in Guo Xiaoyan’s rented apartment, when Chu Lingtian had refused Guo Xiaoyan’s advances and told her he already had a fiancée, the two hadn’t met again. Guo Xiaoyan was a proud and self-respecting beautiful girl. She had thought that since she and Chu Lingtian were fated not to be, she would let it go and they could be friends. However, one cannot control their emotions. These past few days, Guo Xiaoyan had thought that after learning Chu Lingtian had a fiancée, she could slowly let go of her feelings for him, but she soon realized she was wrong. Not only could she not let go of her love for Chu Lingtian, but not seeing him for these days had made her yearn for him to the point of losing her appetite.
“Pretty good,” Chu Lingtian smiled. He liked Guo Xiaoyan and knew she loved him. Not accepting this pure and beautiful girl was indeed for her own good.
“Brother Chu…” Guo Xiaoyan called out again, her expression hesitating.
Chu Lingtian asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
“You… you said last time that your fiancée wasn’t in Dachang City. Are you in a long-distance relationship?” Guo Xiaoyan asked in a very small voice.
“Yes,” Chu Lingtian nodded.
“Then…” A flicker of inexplicable joy appeared in Guo Xiaoyan’s heart, but before she could finish speaking, Qin Li returned with a plastic bag containing three cups of milk tea.
“Have some milk tea. We won’t eat lunch right away. We’ll discuss eating after we pick up Ma Su and meet with President Liu. Otherwise, if we miss the flight and Ma Su throws a tantrum, the three of us won’t be able to handle it,” Qin Li said, handing milk teas to Guo Xiaoyan and Chu Lingtian.
“People are iron, rice is steel, not eating makes you hungry. Ma Su’s flight isn’t due until 1 PM, and it’s not even 11:30 AM yet. The three of us can eat at the airport and then come back here to wait for the pickup, which is perfectly fine,” Chu Lingtian said after taking a sip of his pearl milk tea.
“No, at least one person has to stay here to wait, in case the plane arrives early,” Qin Li shook her head.
“Then you and Xiaoyan go eat first, and come back to take my place,” Chu Lingtian nodded.
“Brother Chu, you and Secretary Qin go eat first. I’ll wait here,” Guo Xiaoyan said, concerned for Chu Lingtian.
“I’m not hungry yet. How about this, you two go eat first, and then bring me back a bowl of noodles,” Chu Lingtian said, gently pushing Guo Xiaoyan and Qin Li away.
Qin Li saw that there was indeed ample time, and since she hadn’t eaten in the morning, she was really hungry. She and Guo Xiaoyan walked towards a nearby noodle shop.
Chu Lingtian sat on a chair and took out his phone to play a game.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a man wearing a black mask ran past him.
“Stop! Catch the thief, catch the thief…”
Immediately after, a woman’s urgent voice rang out. Chu Lingtian instinctively looked up and saw Shao Hu, wearing high heels and a black bodycon dress with a deep V-neckline, running and shouting urgently to catch the thief.
Shao Hu’s shouts attracted some attention, but more men were drawn to her because her plunging neckline was already enticing, and as she ran, her fair, large, and soft breasts undulated violently, giving a visually shocking impression of wanting to break free from all restraints and leap out.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Lingtian got up and walked in front of Shao Hu.
“Why are you here?” Shao Hu was out of breath, sweat beading on her forehead. After asking Chu Lingtian, she quickly said, “Help me chase the thief! My bag was snatched, and it contains very important documents.”
“Okay.” Chu Lingtian turned and ran in the direction the thief had fled. Shao Hu watched Chu Lingtian’s receding back as he chased the thief, a triumphant smile on her lips, and then quickly followed.
Soon, the thief was caught by Chu Lingtian. Just as Chu Lingtian had recovered Shao Hu’s lost handbag and was about to interrogate the thief, Shao Hu’s cry of pain came from behind.
“Ah…” Shao Hu fell to the ground, her beautiful face contorted in unbearable pain.
“Are you alright?” Chu Lingtian, holding the handbag in his left hand, walked up to Shao Hu and helped her up with his right hand. The thief took the opportunity to get up and run away. Just as Chu Lingtian was about to pursue him, Shao Hu fell into his arms, her expression pained, and said, “Don’t chase him. It’s good that the item is recovered. I think I twisted my ankle. Help me sit down for a moment.”
“Okay.” Chu Lingtian nodded. Shao Hu sat on a nearby chair, looking at Chu Lingtian with gratitude, and said with a smile, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, my losses would have been huge.”
“It’s just a small matter. Which foot is injured?” Chu Lingtian asked caringly.
“Left foot,” Shao Hu replied. Chu Lingtian squatted down, took off Shao Hu’s left high-heeled shoe, and supported the sole of her left foot with his left hand, while his right hand began to examine her ankle and lower leg bones. However, at this angle and in this leg-lifting posture, Chu Lingtian caught sight of the black lace underwear Shao Hu was wearing.
