Mu Yuchen’s voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
“You’re heading to New York right now?” Xi Xiaye’s heart sank a little. It must have been really urgent if he did not even have the time to explain.
“Where are you now?” Xi Xiaye asked as she slowed her car down.
“I’m on the way to the airport. Don’t worry. I’ll give you a call once I arrive. Discuss with Ah Mo if you face any issues. I’ll tell Su Chen to help out as well. It might take me some time before returning…”
“Wait at the airport. I’m heading over!” Xi Xiaye hung up on the call and quickly made a U-turn—
Mu Yuchen looked at his darkened phone screen as a warm smile appeared on his face and he gently gripped on his phone. “Hurry.”
“Yes, Master,” the chauffeur replied and sped up.
The airport was not very far away from the Grand Waves Villa Area, so it would only take half an hour to arrive if there was no traffic jam.
It was 15 minutes before the flight took off. Mu Yuchen was waiting inside the VIP waiting area. Li Si had taken care of all the procedures and was waiting for Xi Xiaye to arrive as well. The gate had already been opened for boarding.
“Master, it’s time to board. I guess Missus isn’t going to make it. Should I tell the staff here? You can give her a call once we arrive there,” Li Si suggested.
Mu Yuchen took a glance at the time. His eyes darkened as he put away the magazine in his hands.
The group walked towards the boarding gate.
Xi Xiaye rushed into the airport the moment she got out of her car. She ran towards the boarding gate via the VIP tunnel…
Panting, she grabbed onto the safety charm she just received from the temple and ran across the airport. Her hair was a mess and she caught a lot of attention from the bypassers.
“Mr. Mu! Wait!”
There was no one else left at the boarding gate, and she was disappointed for a moment before staring at the boarding tunnel. She noticed his figure amidst the crowd, so she quickly ran towards him, and even disregarded the “do not cross” sign.
Mu Yuchen seemed more relaxed when he saw her.
“I made it. Take this with you and don’t lose it again. I won’t ask any questions since it’s an emergency. Be careful and take good care of yourself there. Remember to call me often.”
Xi Xiaye was really sweaty as she gasped the reminders and passed him the safety charm. For some reason, she always felt uneasy during moments like this, especially this time. Maybe it was because she could not get used to not having him by her side.
Mu Yuchen smiled gently when he saw what she gave him. He ran his fingers through her beautiful long hair and helped her fix it a little.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself though it might take a month or two before I return. Will you be fine?” he asked.
Xi Xiaye wrapped her arms around his waist. “Mmm.”
“Don’t get too close to strangers, especially the people I specifically mentioned. Just ignore whatever they say. If someone else gives you flowers again, I assume you know what to do, don’t you?” he lowered his head and whispered beside her ear.
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and chuckled, laughing at the fact that he still remembered Qi Feng’s flowers the other day. She turned her head over and beamed. “Didn’t you say I should take whatever I could get?”
“However, you shouldn’t drag your standards down by accepting that petty stuff. If he’s as generous as Qi Lei to give you roses made of gold, of course, you should accept it then.” He smiled too.
Xi Xiaye’s smile grew wider as she rolled her eyes at him. “Yes, yes, I know. You too. If I find out you’ve been staring at ladies, I’ll gouge your eyes out…”
“I can’t even handle you. How am I supposed to handle other women?! Alright, it’s time for me to go now.” He smiled and patted her head before leaving.
Xi Xiaye nodded and looked at him for another moment. She did not wear high heels today as she had to climb a steep flight of stairs just now, so she looked much smaller when compared next to Mu Yuchen at the moment.
She tip-toed and left a kiss on his face. “Goodbye.”
Blushing slightly, he smiled and patted her shoulder before turning around and boarding the plane.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath, her sight never straying from him.
He advanced slowly and even stopped before entering to take a glance at her. He noticed that her eyes were slowly turning red…
Unfortunately, he still had to leave.
Xi Xiaye stayed there until the plane took off. She sniffled and thought that she was being too emotional.
For some reason, she was worried that she could not get used to being separated from him for too long, especially when he had to leave in a hurry. She felt really nervous about his trip this time…
