Chapter 211: 211, Luo Xiaobai Arrives (2)_1 Chapter 211: 211, Luo Xiaobai Arrives (2)_1 Stepping out of the bidding hall, Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan walked out briskly, followed by Shen Hao and Yi Kai.
âBy the way, where are Jingwu and Jian Qing?â Han Yue turned around to look at Shen Hao. They had not seen the two since early morning, not even at the bidding.
âThe boss and Jian Qing left early in their car,â Shen Hao said helplessly.
âThey were too busy dating from early morning and lack business ambition.â Han Yue cheekily commented, like a sour grape.
âThe workaholic Quan Jingwu is no longer the same.â
âAyue!â Quan Mingxuan coughed lightly, signaling with his eyes towards the people approaching from the opposite side.
Following his gaze, Han Yue saw the man walking towards them and was speechless.
What a small world.
Despite his discomfort, Han Yue hid his feelings well. With a nonchalant smile at the corner of his mouth, he spoke in an ambiguous tone, âMr. Yihen, are you planning to go back to Beijing?â
âMr. Han, if you plan to attend tonightâs banquet here, I will not accompany you. There are some matters in Beijing that I have to attend to.â Chu Yihenâs gaze swept over their group, but Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu were nowhere to be found.
Han Yue chuckled, âThatâs good. I thought you might be feeling low because you didnât get the land in the Eastern City and wanted to return to Beijing.â
âMr. Han, youâre too funny.â Chu Yihen replied with a fierce look in his eyes, âplease ask Mingxuan to pass a message to Quan Jingwu. Success in business does not necessarily guarantee success in love.â
Quan Mingxuan smiled but his eyes were cold, âSure, I will pass on your message.â
Hey Jingwu, Chu Yihen is really trying to compete with you in everything. Even your wife is on his mind!
Chu Yihen interrupted, âI will be leaving first now.â
Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan watched as Chu Yihen left and exchanged gleeful glances. The situation in Beijing was about to get more interesting.
Quan Mingxuan turned to Shen Hao, âYou heard what Chu Yihen just said, make sure to pass on his message.â
âMingxuan, thatâs what you promised yourself.â Shen Haoâs lips twitched. If he carried the message to their boss, he would be in a lot of trouble.
Better not to trouble him.
âSpeaking of which, there are a few documents waiting to be handled at the bossâs office, Shen Hao, we should get going. We canât delay.â Noticing Quan Mingxuanâs gaze, Yi Kai quickly spoke up.
Shen Hao agreed, âRight. I almost forgot.â
âMingxuan, Mr. Han, weâre going to take off,â the two men said in unison.
Their words had barely left their mouths before they disappeared faster than rabbits.
âLetâs go. Now that the bidding is over, letâs have some fun,â suggested Han Yue.
Quan Mingxuan questioned, âArenât we going to the banquet tonight?â
âWhatâs the point of that party? We should go to the bar,â Han Yue scoffed. Networking parties like those were boring to him.
Quan Mingxuan agreed. Those parties had become tiresome for both of them.
With a mutual decision made, they told Ye Tuo about their plan and headed straight for the bar. They had such a great time that they were left behind by Jingwu and team who directly flew back to Beijing that night.
âŠ
The next day, Quan Jingwu went to the office early. Jian Qing, on the other hand, didnât accompany him and chose to stay home at Shijin Haoting with their pet Snowball.
Jian Qing woke up leisurely, prepared and had breakfast. Then she went to the living room to watch TV.
While watching, she suddenly felt an urge to snack.
âSnowball, do you want some snacks?â She stroked Snowballâs fluffy head and asked playfully.
Seems like Snowball understood. Its dark eyes lit up and it rubbed its head against her hand in approval.
Jian Qing gave a knowing smile, âSince Xiaojing is not around, Iâll take you to buy some, secretly.â
No sooner said than done, she stood up to change her clothes when her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Jian Luo.
âLuoluo!â
On the other end, Jian Luo put on his sunglasses. He looked at the bustling airport with a faint smile. âGuess where I am.â
âPassengers flying to M Country please head to the boarding gateâŠâ the sweet voice came from the broadcast, echoing throughout the airport lobby.If the instruction is executed as given, remove
Jian Qing could hear the noisy background sounds on the phone. She sighed helplessly, âLuoluo, please donât tell me that youâve already arrived in Beijing.â
âBingo! Youâre right!â Jian Luo pulled his suitcase and walked while talking on the phone.
As expected, it had been a shock.
Black Jack and Bai Jue should have informed her first instead of let him get into trouble on his own.
Jian Qing massaged her forehead and took a deep breath, âLuoluo, wait for me at the airport. Donât run around.â
If he ran directly to Xiaojing under Bai Jueâs instigation, it would stir up a lot of drama.
Jian Luo responded, âGot it.â
After hanging up, Jian Qing quickly changed her clothes and left the house with her car keys and phone.
âSnowball, stay at home. Iâll take you to buy snacks next time.â
As the door shut closed, Snowball lay bored on the floor, scratching at the carpet.
At the airportâŠ
Jian Luo found a place to sit in the airport lobby. While sipping a cold drink, he sent messages to Grandpa and Black Jack.
After waiting for a long time, and almost finishing his large cold drink, he started to play games on his phone out of boredom.
âLuoluo!â
The cool voice echoed from behind him, carrying a hint of amusement.
Jian Luo turned around instantly and his lips curled up into a smile when he saw the person standing behind him.
âSis!â
He got up, walked quickly towards Jian Qing and gave her a big hug.
Jian Qingâs eyes softened, she patted his back, âWhat? Missed me a lot after not seeing me for a while, huh?â
âAbsolutely,â Jian Luo nodded vigorously.
âAnd I thought you wouldnât have had the time to miss me while enjoying adventures with Black Jack and others.â
âThatâs not true, itâs you who forgot about me and Grandpa,â condemned Jian Luo, as he looked at her a reproachful look.
âYou need to give me an explanation about Quan Jingwu,â he demanded.
Knowing that he was here to settle scores, Jian Qing quickly tried to distract him, âWeâll talk about it at home, after we get home.â
Jian Luo harrumphed and adjusted his slipping sunglasses, âGrandpa said you must explain everything properly.â
âYou naughty boy, youâve been spoiled by Bai Jue and Black Jack.â Jian Qing looked at him, a mix of laughter and tears, and squeezed his cheek.
âHave you had breakfast yet?â
âNot yet.â Jian Luo grabbed his suitcase and slung his arm around Jian Qingâs shoulder.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman always attract attention. Jian Qing was already known, and without wearing a hat or sunglasses, she was recognized by quite a few people.
Jian Luo was indifferent to the attention, keeping his arm around Jian Qingâs shoulder all the way through the airport.
They left the airport, and Jian Qing drove while Jian Luo stuffed his suitcase into the trunk before getting into the car.
