Chapter 816: Trapped at the Airport (Part 1)

The wind was too strong, Ji Mingqian didn’t hear what he said, so he raised his voice and said, "Do you remember the time I took you on a motorcycle to buy beer and we got ambushed on the way?"

Jiang Yisheng bent his lips, "I remember."

Back then, he was puzzled as to why someone would want to assassinate him when he was just an actor.

He never thought he had another identity behind the scenes.

"That was the kind of life Ajiu and I used to live, constantly in danger," Ji Mingqian slowed down the vehicle, his deep voice overshadowing the cold wind, reaching his ears.

"Are you afraid?"

Jiang Yisheng laughed silently, "Compared to that, being with you is the biggest danger, isn’t it?"

Being with him was the boldest choice of his life.

Ji Mingqian was stunned for a few seconds, then hearty laughter overflowed from his throat and scattered with the wind.

"Hahaha."

Obviously, this answer pleased him.

The moon was bright and the stars sparse, a few fishing lights swayed on the sea, adding a warmth to the dark night.

As midnight approached, it was difficult to see a soul on the beach.

However, this solitude suited Ji Mingqian’s taste.

Shedding their disguises, the two frolicked freely by the sea.

No one knows where Ji Mingqian found a jet ski. He threw Jiang Yisheng onto it and took him for a spin on the sea.

It was Jiang Yisheng’s first time on a jet ski, and he almost threw up.

After two laps, he couldn’t stand it and twisted Ji Mingqian’s ear, making him take him back to the beach quickly.

Once off the jet ski, his legs went weak, and he fell onto the sand.

After catching his breath, he looked up at the person opposite, shooting a glare at him, "Ji Mingqian, you liar."

Ji Mingqian jumped off the jet ski, met his "fierce" gaze, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile.

He walked over, squatted down, and reached out to brush aside the hair stuck to his face, "What did I lie to you about?"

Jiang Yisheng punched him on the shoulder, "I told you to drive slower, were you flying a jet ski or a rocket? Are you trying to fly?"

Saying this, he shook his head, splashing sea water on Ji Mingqian’s face.

"Hehe."

Seeing his childish behavior, Ji Mingqian couldn’t help but laugh.

He reached out and pinched his cheek, "I really drove very slowly. If you don’t believe me, ask Achen and the others next time."

"Who believes you." Jiang Yisheng staggered to stand up, soaking wet.

Grabbing his arm, Ji Mingqian leaned closer, tilting his lips, "Should I teach you how to play jet ski?"

He teaches him?

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Yisheng’s eyes. Actually, jet skiing was quite fun.

Before he could answer, Ji Mingqian pulled him along, "Don’t think about it, let’s go."

"Ji Mingqian, if you dare mess with me, you’re dead."

"Got it."

...

R Country.

The drizzle gradually fell, and the streetlights emitted a faint glow.

The night was quiet, and the airport entrance was a bit more deserted than during the day.

From a distance, a slender figure had been lingering at the airport entrance for a while.

Ye Jiuliang glanced at her watch, it was already past one o’clock.

She didn’t expect to be so unlucky, encountering a rainy day as soon as she left the airport.

The key was that she came directly from the club, with nothing on her, not even a charged phone.

Really down on her luck today.

With a light sigh, she turned to walk back into the airport.

She could only call Li Mochan to come pick her up.

After asking the staff about the location of the airport service desk, Ye Jiuliang quickened her pace.

Before she could find the airport service desk, she encountered a somewhat familiar face halfway.

"What’s going on, does the boss know that person?"

"You don’t recognize that person? That’s the woman Li Wuye dotes on, Ye Jiuliang."

"That person is Ye Jiuliang? What’s she doing alone at the airport at night?"

"Without a single piece of luggage, she doesn’t look like a tourist."

"Look at the boss’s expression, could it be that he’s interested in Ye Jiuliang?"

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful the boss twists your head off."

Seven or eight young men gathered together, discussing with their eyes on the pair of people standing not far away.

Xiao Lingchen’s eyes reflected the woman’s fair little face, hiding some unknown emotion deep within.

After a long while, he calmly asked, "Why are you here alone?"

Wasn’t she always inseparable from Li Mochan, how come she is here alone?

"Just traveling." Ye Jiuliang glanced at the whispering group a short distance away, speaking nonchalantly.

"Even Young Master Xiao is taking team members out for travel?"

Xiao Lingchen nodded.

"Then I won’t disturb Young Master Xiao, I’ll take my leave." Not being familiar with him, Ye Jiuliang didn’t plan to say much.

Stepping past him, she was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Lingchen turned around, urgently calling her back.

Ye Jiuliang turned back, "Anything else?"

Xiao Lingchen looked straight at her, hesitating before speaking, "If, if at that time..."

He hesitated for a long while, but still couldn’t say a complete sentence.

Ye Jiuliang lost her patience, "If not, I’m leaving."

After much hesitation, the words on his lips were swallowed back, and Xiao Lingchen suppressed the emotion in his eyes, "Nothing."

Ye Jiuliang withdrew her gaze and left without a trace of hesitation.

Xiao Lingchen watched the woman’s carefree back, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The taste of unrequited longing was truly unbearable.

He and she were ultimately without fate or connection.

Elsewhere.

Finding the airport service desk, Ye Jiuliang used the public phone to call Li Mochan.

The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

Ye Jiuliang frowned; could he be asleep?

She hung up the phone and dialed again.

Fortunately, this time someone answered quickly.

"Who is it?"

A deep and cold voice came through, colder than the wind outside.

Ye Jiuliang’s soft voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Mohan."

On the other end, Li Mochan’s cold eyes slightly narrowed, glancing at the number displayed on his phone.

Confirming it was a stranger’s number, a foreboding feeling sank in his heart, "Little wolf, what happened?"

"I’m at the airport, it’s raining heavily outside, and my phone is dead," Ye Jiuliang said in a muffled voice.

A rare look of daze appeared on Li Mochan’s face, "You’re in R Country?"

Ye Jiuliang said with a downcast face, "As soon as I arrived, it started raining; I didn’t bring any money with me."

The phone was off, there was no cash, it seemed like she didn’t take note of the Auspicious Day before coming here today.

Li Mochan glanced out the window, the heavy rain tapping against the windowpane, the downpour was heavy, "Don’t wander around in the heavy rain outside, find a place to sit, I’m coming over to pick you up now."

"Which airport are you at?" he asked while walking towards the wardrobe.

Listening to Ye Jiuliang reporting her location, Li Mochan casually picked out an outfit, "Little rascal, have you eaten dinner?"

She really couldn’t be counted on to behave, always deceiving him.

"I ate, but now I’m hungry," hearing his voice, Ye Jiuliang’s mood brightened considerably.
