10 am on a Saturday, Wu's plane has taken off.
The whole first class cabin has only 8 seats, the spaces are insane, there is sufficient room to move around, and also to flirt. There was a gorgeous lady seated beside Wu, ever since they got onto the plane, three male passengers have walked past. There are 2 persons left who hasn't done so: one of them is an old man, he fell asleep from the first second, the other was Wu.
Wu glanced over at her, indeed a beauty, but she isn't strikingly beautiful like Yue Yue, she looks very natural and pleasing. She is a quiet and calm person, she has an outstanding aura but doesn't feel, but rather friendly. No matter which male passenger hit on her, she just politely responded accordingly.
Wu really like this type of women.
But he just took a quick look, his heart has Chi in it, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Actually, when Wu was studying the lady, the lady was also checking Wu out.
Neatly ironed suit, perfect tie, nicely trimmed nails... Although none of it has relation to Wu, all of it was Chi's effort, but the lady was simply impressed.
She was fond of such man who likes to keep it low, dependable, and pays attention to every single minute detail.
She has been traveling constantly for the whole year, not sure how many times men have tried to hit on her, but for the lady to make the first move, Wu was first.
'Your watch is very exquisite.'
Wu looks shocked, he locked his gaze on the beauty.
'You're talking to me?'
The lady nodded smilingly, she speaks ever so elegantly, Wu's legs have gone wobbly from listening.
'Can I have a look?'
If he was on a local run-down train, a chubby lady with vegetable stuck in between her teeth asked him, 'Can I take a look?' Wu will definitely reply crudely, 'It's just an inferior, nothing special.'
But now he's in a different setting, different person, different watch, Wu has to show off his brilliant manners. He took the watch off slowly, delivered it to the lady's hands gentlemanly, then he returned to his seat quietly.
After a while, the lady returned back the watch.
'Thank you.'
What Wu has gotten back, other than his watch was another small card with her number at the side.
Fucking hell, is she trying to make me have a wrong idea?!
Deep inside his devil has awake, but he remained calm on the outside, he too told the lady his number. It may seem like he's making a proper response, but did that on purpose, so purposefully that he even fantasized the color of her underwear.
Just as he got down the plane, he didn't have the chance to bid the lady goodbye, Chi's phone call came.
'You reached?'
Wu cursed quietly: Your timing is perfect.
'I've called a friend to pick you up, I'll give you his number later, you can call him yourself. He knows his way around Xiamen, he knows quite a number of influencers, he'll bring you around for the few days.'
Then, the call was immediately being cut off from the other end.
Wu mumbled under his breath, there's no difference whether I'm by his side or not.
Chi just couldn't let this horny dog roam around freely, he needs to keep Wu on a leash.
Exiting from the arrival hall, Chi's friend is already outside waiting for him, he looks like he's at his 30's, has a rather flat face, looks like an honest person. He took Wu's belongings and led the way to the carpark.
This man really doesn't know how to socialite, from the second Wu got into the car to the second he got down, he just said two words.
'We've arrived.'
He just gave Wu his name card, then he left.
Wu stayed in a hotel on the sea, after he unpacked his luggage, he noticed it was already 12 o'clock, it's time for lunch. Right as he stepped out of the hotel, he received a message, he checked his phone and shockingly realized it was from the lady.
Wu's heart immediately raced.
'I'm staying at the Oriental Hotel, if possible, let's meet up for a meal.'
Wu scanned his surroundings, his gaze affixed at the word 'Oriental' on the tower right across the street, his heart fluttered.
This, this, this...is such a coincidence, did Chi purposefully sent this lady to test me?
Considering that he needed to spend a lot of time to do this work in the afternoon, Wu suppressed his excitement and reminded himself the purpose of his trip, he mustn't miss out on something big for something that's so minor.
Then he replied, 'I'll see if I'm free tonight, I have something on now.'
Then, the guy who left just now came back again, he handed a plastic bag to Wu, there are several boxes of food inside, he claimed to have taken out from a specialty restaurant.
'Last time when Chi was in Xiamen, we had a meal there, he said the dishes were very good so he informed me to buy you the food.'
'Thank you,' Wu was rather embarrassed, 'If I knew you were going there, I should've followed you.'
'The winds are quite strong today, there might be rain too, you just came from Beijing, you can have a rest.'
Right at the moment, Wu was really pleased that he didn't hot-headedly go to the lady's hotel, if Chi were to know about this, he definitely will rush down to Xiamen.
In the afternoon, with Chi's friend's accompaniment, Wu went to visit several huge companies there, all of them welcomed Wu whole-heartedly. Then slowly this friend started to open up, they talked a lot about the companies' journey to their success and their experiences, he was talking like a professor, like a professional of this industry, Wu held a lot of respect to him.
They were happily chatting away, then the friend's phone rang, he told Wu after he hung up, 'I'm really sorry, something cropped up, you can have a look around, you can call me later, I'll pick you up.'
Wu waved hurriedly, 'It's fine, I can flag a taxi myself, you can take your time.'
Just as the friend left, Wu's phone rang again.
'7 o'clock, at Serenity Cafe, I'll wait for you.'
The sea breeze graved across his face, Wu's heart is also pounding like the waves. She already invited for the second time, if I were to reject again, will she think I'm cold? I'm a manager too, how can I act so ungentlemanly?
Then, he hid the butterflies in his stomach, accepted the invitation modestly.
He initially wanted to call a cab, but then he realized the time is still early so he thought he could walk around for a while, he seems a little desperate if he arrives too early. Then as he walked along the streets, he stumbled upon a barbershop.
Looking at the barber playing with the scissors in hands skillfully, his heart is starting to itch.
Now Chi allows him to keep his hair long, but the hairstyle is still based on Chi's decision, Wu doesn't particularly dislike his hairstyle, but he has the urge to break the chains, be the owner of his body for once.
In the end, he went in for a hair makeover, but then he thought about the meeting later on so he just got them washed, just take it as a pamper session for him.
The lady reached the cafe first, sitting alone in the corner waiting for someone, she didn't even realize Wu walked into the cafe until he sat down in front of her, she was surprised to find that this is the person she's waiting for.
Wu permed his hair, even though it's just small curls but it has the nice gradient effect. Pairing with his defined features, his big dark eyes, he actually has the European crush feel to it, and it doesn't clash with his aura.
'What's wrong?' Wu asked.
The lady smiled, 'Nothing, this hairstyle suits you a lot.'
After saying that, she took out her phone and snapped a photo.
After seeing the attention he got from the streets and this lady's actions, Wu can conclude: Chi restricted him to get a mediocre hairstyle, it is suppressing his charm.
There are a lot of dinner meetings recently, Chi has rejected all of them, but this time he really has to be present. The reason is that his father is going, along with a few of the leaders, one of them is Guo's father.
Of course, Guo will go too, this is the most important show they must put on every year.
There will be a chauffeur so Gang wouldn't need to drive Chi there, but Chi is used to Gang's presence so he let him follow him along. Chi was quietly smoking away while Gang was scrolling through Weibo, then he stumbled upon a post that Li Wang reposted.
Then, he chocked.
He glanced over at Chi's chilly side profile, he quickly scrolled to the next post.
What Gang had seen, was the lady's post of Wu's photo.
All of this is too much of a coincidence, Wu didn't just bump into any ordinary lady, she's really popular among the rich kids, her pursuers are countless, every post that she uploads will definitely make it to the top news, let alone this flirty post.
'Met my Mr. Right at Xiamen, press on, we need to pursue our love!'
Gang didn't want to report to Chi this catastrophic news, but he didn't want him to be kept in the dark either, so he just simply reposted it again.
On the dinner table, Guo and Chi sat opposite of each other, not sure if it's his mind playing tricks, after hearing what Shuai has said, now every time Guo sees Chi he will feel very uncomfortable. Of course, he used to feel uncomfortable around Chi too.
So, the two stared at each other uncomfortably.
Guo's phone received the notifications from Weibo, he has no interest in what Li Wang has reposted. But he must see what Gang has reposted.
Then, he quietly put down his phone, looked at Chi with a hintful gaze.
As expected from being years of enemies, with a look, Chi knew he needed to check on Weibo.
The clock is ticking away, Chi's eyes have never left the screen for a second.
He took a sip of the alcohol, fueling the fire inside.
This horny dog, he just won't let me rest for a while!
