"We've arrived at the airport..."
"I'll send a car to take you back to school."
Seeing Wen Muxue remain silent for a long time, her expression slightly conflicted, Tang Yuan slowly turned his head and directly said this.
In the adult world, any lack of explicit agreement is a refusal. So, Wen Muxue's silence, in Tang Yuan's view, was a disguised rejection.
"No!"
"I don't want to go back to school!"
"I want to go to Hong Kong with you!"
Wen Muxue's expression changed, and she instantly made up her mind, speaking repeatedly to Tang Yuan.
Recalling the past, Wen Muxue had hesitated, which allowed Su Xiaoxiao to seize the opportunity. If she hadn't chosen to go back to school that night, but had instead gone with the flow and directly followed Tang Yuan to the hotel, then Su Xiaoxiao probably wouldn't be an issue now.
With past lessons so fresh in her mind, Wen Muxuenaturally wouldn't choose to repeat the same mistake.
Instead of hesitating and being timid, it was better to cast everything aside and go all out.
Her swirling thoughts made Wen Muxue's eyes grow even more determined.
Wen Muxue's final decision surprised Tang Yuan a little, but since Wen Muxue agreed, Tang Yuannaturally wouldn't refuse.
"Did you bring your ID card?"
"Yes."
"What about your Hong Kong and Macau travel permit?"
"They should both be in my wallet with my ID card."
"Find them. I'll have someone book a temporary ticket for you."
"Oh, okay."
Next, Tang Yuan didn't waste any more words. He directly took Wen Muxue's ID card and Hong Kongand Macau travel permit, then called Xiao Yayue, asking her to contact the airline to add a temporary ticket.
After doing all this, Tang Yuan returned Wen Muxue's documents to her, and at the same time, he smiled and said, "The photo looks pretty good."
Photo?
Wen Muxue was stunned for a moment, then her gaze fell on her ID card. She quickly realized what Tang Yuan was referring to.
"What's so good about it?" Wen Muxue's face showed a hint of shyness, and she mumbled softly, "That photo was taken when I was 16. I look silly in it, not good at all."
"Silly? Why didn't I notice? Let me take another look."
"Dream on, I'm not giving it to you!"
"It's fine, I took a photo just now. I can look at it on my phone just the same."
"Ugh, you're annoying, delete it quickly!"
...
As Wen Muxue made her choice, their relationship began to subtly grow closer.
Chatting and laughing, time flew by.
About forty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce CullinanTang Yuan was riding in slowly pulled up in front of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport VIP building.
Unbeknownst to them, the rain had already diminished significantly, transforming from an initial downpour into a continuous drizzle.
Under the dim sky, the Shanghai Pudong International Airport VIP building was brightly lit.
Xiao Yayue stood in front of the VIP building. She was wearing a light yellow women's business suit, draped in an LV coat, with two ordinary-looking but exceptionally capable female bodyguards standing behind her, holding umbrellas for her.
After Tang Yuan arrived at the VIP building, Xiong Kaiand others immediately got out of the car, opening the door and holding an umbrella for Tang Yuan. The entire process was exceptionally smooth and professional.
Such a grand display drew astonished glances from many passengers in front of the VIP building whose flights were delayed due to the heavy rain.
Inside the car, Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue and asked, "Can you walk by yourself? If not, I'll carry you again."
"Carry me~"
Facing Tang Yuan's question, Wen Muxue decisively extended her slender arm, and a hint of charming expression appeared on her cool, moon-like face.
Tang Yuan was stunned when Wen Muxue wanted to be carried without thinking. He then shook his head helplessly, "You've gotten addicted to being carried. Do you know you're quite heavy to carry?"
"I'm 178 cm tall and only weigh 108 jin, and you actually said I'm fat!"
Age and weight have always been taboo for women. At this moment, Wen Muxue was like a ruffled kitten, her puffed-up face full of indignation.
"I just said 'quite heavy,' I didn't say you were fat."
"Heavy and fat mean the same thing!"
"Alright, alright, you're not heavy~"
Tang Yuan appeased Wen Muxue as if coaxing a child, and at the same time, he carried her out of the car.
In late September in Shanghai, after a heavy rain, the night wind was a bit chilly.
Wen Muxue, who was only wearing a dance leotard and shaping pants, shivered slightly when the evening breeze blew past her.
Xiao Yayue, standing in front of the VIP building, saw Tang Yuan approaching with a girl. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she understood the rules well and didn't ask anything. She simply reported, "Tang Zong, your and Miss Wen's tickets have been successfully checked in. The seats are adjacent. Our flight is scheduled to board at 6:40 PM, which is fifty minutes from now. You can take Miss Wen to the VIP lounge to rest for a bit."
"Okay."
Tang Yuan nodded slightly and walked directly into the VIP building.
Xiong Kai, as Tang Yuan's personal bodyguard, followed Tang Yuan into the VIP building. As for the other bodyguards, led by Yuan Meng, after parking all the vehicles, they proceeded to the regular check-in counter next to the VIP building for check-in.
The two female bodyguards beside Xiao Yayue also left the VIP building. Only Xiao Yayue herself followed Tang Yuan into the VIP building.
Led by the VIP building staff, Tang Yuan and his group quickly arrived at the VIP lounge.
"Xiong Kai, where are the medicines I asked you to buy earlier?"
After Tang Yuan placed Wen Muxue on the seat, he turned and asked Xiong Kai.
"Tang Zong, here they are."
Xiong Kai immediately handed the medicines to Tang Yuan.
After Tang Yuan took the medicines, he handed them to Wen Muxue, "As an athlete, I don't need to tell you how to use these medicines, do I?"
"Mm-hmm."
Wen Muxue nodded, looking very obedient.
Just as Tang Yuan finished dealing with Wen Muxue's matters, Xiao Yayue stepped forward and whispered to Tang Yuan, "Tang Zong, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."
"What is it?"
Tang Yuan heard her and quietly moved to the side.
Xiao Yayue followed Tang Yuan to the side and replied, "The Jinwei Security Hong Kong headquarters heard that you are coming to Hong Kong. The senior executives at the headquarters would like to host a welcome dinner for you, a simple meal. What are your thoughts?"
"Tonight?"
"Yes."
Tang Yuan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then agreed. After all, as the boss of Jinwei Security, it was only natural for him to meet with his subordinates now that he was in Hong Kong.
To refuse would seem too arrogant and would not be conducive to unity.
After discussing the main business, Tang Yuan took out a China Merchants Bank Black Gold credit card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yayue, instructing, "Secretary Xiao, there's still some time before boarding. Take my card and go to the clothing store at the airport to buy a few sets of clothes according to Wen Muxue's size. She's wearing too little."
"Is there a budget?"
Xiao Yayue asked with a smile.
"Just buy what you think is good."
Tang Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Okay."
"Then I'll be quick."
Xiao Yayue tucked the credit card into her pocket. After speaking, she quickly left the VIP lounge...
