Bai Feng’s final words were barely louder than a mosquito’s hum as she scurried into the inner bedroom.
Xu Fei watched her flushed face, shaking his head with a helpless smile.
He got up from the floor, washed up in the bathroom, and then collapsed into bed.
The next morning, Xu Fei opened his eyes to find Bai Feng awake, heading to the bathroom.
They quickly freshened up, ate breakfast at the hotel, and went to the airport to board their flight.
The boarding process went smoothly, and with only ten minutes until takeoff, Xu Fei and Bai Feng were seated on the plane.
“What’s wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?” Xu Fei asked, noticing Bai Feng’s gaze.
Her face reddened again, and she stammered, “S-sorry, Fei Ge, I’m still not used to this face of yours, so…”
“Oh, no worries, look as much as you want, get familiar with it, we can’t slip up over there!” Xu Fei whispered, leaning close to her ear for secrecy.
The intimate gesture made Bai Feng’s face flush even more.
Their playful banter and laughter made them look like any ordinary couple.
Onlookers thought they were a perfect match, casting admiring and approving glances.
But not everyone agreed, one nearby passenger’s eyes burned with jealousy.
“Damn it! I thought I’d hit the jackpot with such a stunning girl, but she’s already taken!” muttered Qian Jiahang, heir to one of China’s top coal tycoons, with wealth he barely knew how to spend.
His only hobby was befriending beautiful women.
If not for making his pursuits smoother, Qian Jiahang wouldn’t have bothered buying fancy cars or lavish houses.
This trip to Japan was because he’d grown bored of Chinese girls and wanted a change.
It wasn’t his first time, he’d been at it for two years, often succeeding, even making a habit of flying economy class to scout for women.
Over those two years, Qian Jiahang had developed his own rule.
Girls heading to Japan to study or work were easier targets in a foreign land, especially with his wealth and status.
And Bai Feng, to him, was breathtaking, outshining even TV stars.
Rubbing his chin, Qian Jiahang thought to himself, “Hmph! So what if you have a boyfriend? Once we’re there, money rules, I’m sure I can win you over!”
Xu Fei and Bai Feng were unaware of this, and soon the plane took off.
