Shen Wan rushed away too fast, not noticing the subtle smile on the man’s lips, which held a touch of intriguing mystery.
See you again?
“Very soon…” A nearly inaudible murmur drifted in the wind, under the clear blue sky and bright sunlight.
Shen Wan found her seat according to her boarding pass, in the front row of the business class, next to the window, perfect for sleeping. She asked the flight attendant for a blanket and an eye mask, then began to catch up on her sleep.
Last night, she had translated the relevant research papers she had collected into Chinese and bound them into a book to give to Zhou Chi. It had delayed her sleep, and now, feeling drowsy, she sensed the aircraft’s turbulence. It was probably taking off, but Shen Wan paid it no mind, changing her position and continuing to sleep.
She was awakened by the cold air from the air conditioning. Removing her eye mask, she reached to adjust the air vent above her head. Suddenly, her movement froze as she turned to look at the seat beside her.
“Awake?” He had an exceptionally handsome face, with eyes that appeared to smile but also held a hint of enigma. Although unquestionably a man, his features were even more refined than those of a woman. One could accurately describe him as “exceptionally attractive in this era of prosperity”.
“Sixth Uncle, what a coincidence.” she smiled.
“Not a coincidence.”
H 7?
“I specifically chose this seat.”
“So?” The young woman’s gaze remained calm, as if his special attention to her was of no consequence whatsoever.
It was this kind of understated expression that could leave people feeling choked. She seemed indifferent to everything and everyone, and Quan Hanting suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
Usually, who wouldn’t bow and scrape in front of him, nodding and being obsequious?
But she didn’t fall for that, and yet he inexplicably found it amusing.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun and Chu Yujiang, who could see everything, exchanged rapid glances but dared not speak.
Ling Yun: The Lord is up to his old tricks again.
Chu Yujiang: Wrong! It’s not tricks. He’s just being a jerk. Thanks.
Ling Yun: Would you dare to say that again in front of the Lord?
Chu Yujiang: Of course… 1 wouldn’t dare.
He wasn’t tired of living.
“Women shouldn’t be too stubborn, to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves,” Quan Hanting hinted, more like a veiled threat than advice. Unfortunately, he couldn’t scare Shen Wan. “Oh? Sixth Uncle is giving me advice. How am 1 being stubborn?”
“Heart of stone.”
“Like how?”
He was speechless. How could she fret innocent after sleeping with him and act like nothing had happened?
Of course, Quan Hanting couldn’t say this out loud, but Shen Wan detected a hint of resentment in those three words he had spoken earlier.
With a sly smile, she leaned closer. “Sixth Uncle, are you still thinking about that hot spring villa? But you’ve said it yourself, I’m not worthy, so don’t shoot yourself in the foot. After all, 1 definitely won’t like you.”
The last sentence was particularly harsh. The man’s expression suddenly turned cold. “Rest assured, I won’t like you either.”
“That’s good.” Shen Wan nodded. “I’m the kind of person who hates trouble.”

Well, that conversation was killed.
Until the plane landed smoothly, neither of them spoke again.
Poor Ling Yun and Chu Yujiang, who had finished eavesdropping, decided to say nothing more.
The setting sun cast its warm glow over the Shen family’s old mansion.
When Shen Wan left, no one paid her any attention, and her return was equally discreet.
Seeing her come downstairs for a meal, the others finally realized:
“Has Wan Wan returned? I hope your journey was smooth.” Shen Ru smiled and invited her to sit down, appearing in good spirits.
“It must have been exceptionally pleasant!” Without waiting for Shen Wan to speak, Shen Yan eagerly continued, “Otherwise, why would you be absent on your first day in office, and only return now? Well, different strokes for different folks. Some people are out there enjoying themselves, while we’re here working our tails off..”
