Chapter 1079 Perplexed and Smitten 139
“Yes, let’s go ask them.”
After asking around, they discovered that the said location was neither too far not too close from where they were.
The four of them boarded the bus. It was easy for them to get aboard since they did not have too much luggage.
They finally arrived at their destination after a two- to three-hour journey, during which the bus made several stops.
They alighted from the bus to see that there were coincidentally some motorbikes for sale. Not wanting to walk at all, Long Tianze suggested, “Shall we buy two motorbikes to aid us in getting around? However, we’ll only be staying for two days. It’d be a little wasteful.”
An Xiaoning handed him some cash and said, “You won’t find it a waste if you’re spending my money.”
“How… generous of you, Sis-in-law. Qingyan duped me of 300 thousand dollars back then. Well, nothing comes for free.”
“Hurry along.”
Long Tianze sprinted toward the motorbike store. Mei Yangyang asked, “Will one motorbike be enough for us?”
“Yes. One of you can ride in the front while the other two can ride in the backseat.”
“That’s true…”
Ten minutes later, Long Tianze sped toward them in a cool, black-colored motorbike. He looked absolutely suave in the helmet, and he batted his eyelids at the three of them. “Hey babes, come get on my bike. I’ll take you guys for a spin,” he teased.
“I think you’re asking for death,” said Mei Yangyang, who glowered at him and hopped onto the seat behind him, grabbing tightly onto the two suitcases.
Fang Erlan rode in front of him, on top of the gas tank, whereas An Xiaoning sat behind Mei Yangyang. Although they could still get the motorbike going, Fang Erlan felt extremely uncomfortable.
The four of them arrived at their destination after a short journey, during which lots of pedestrians stared in shock.
However, chaos had already broken out at their desired destination, which was surrounded by the police. The terrorists had already left the scene, leaving behind an unbearable sight.
The four of them stood rooted to the ground and looked at each other in shock and dismay.
An Xiaoning dared not imagine what might have happened. Although Xiao Chenyang is around, what if they’re separated…
She found it hard to breathe all of a sudden.
“Seems like our meeting point has been destroyed. Let’s check into a hotel nearby. We might just bump into them,” she suggested.
They agreed unanimously.
They arrived at a five-star hotel and settled the administrative procedures.
They booked two adjacent rooms, which they then checked into.
An Xiaoning had been holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand, not wanting to miss any calls or text messages. However, she never received any calls.
An Xiaoning freshened up and put on some light makeup. She then pulled her hair back into a small ponytail before putting on a hat. She, Fang Erlan, Long Tianze, and Mei Yangyang then headed downstairs to have their meal.
While waiting for the elevator, they agreed to ask the hotel about Jin Qingyan and Xiao Chenyang, for they could not think of a better solution.
However, they got a great shock the moment the doors of the elevator opened.
They were greeted with the sight of Jin Qingyan, who was also surprised to see them, standing alone in the elevator.
An Xiaoning gazed at him in surprise and disbelief.
Everyone else were shell-shocked too.
It was a well-known fact that Jin Qingyan was naturally handsome and suave.
His exquisite features had become much more chiseled and defined, and he looked as if he had just walked out of a painting. He was glowing and had an alluring aura.
He seemed almost godly.
He was dressed in a white buttoned shirt that he had tucked into his black trousers. His sleeves were folded, exposing his bare arms. He exited from the elevator with his hands in his pocket.
He walked toward An Xiaoning.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Long Tianze interjected, “We came to see if you died in the terrorist attack.”
Jin Qingyan gave him the side-eye and remarked, “Do those small fries have the ability to kill me?”
Long Tianze pursed his lips and hugged Jin Qingyan while pretending to cry on his shoulder. “Master Jin, you’ve really scared me, your concubine. Should anything have happened to you, how am I supposed to live without you?”
Jin Qingyan poked him and said, “You. Get. Away. From. Me.”
Long Tianze hugged him tighter and said, “No. No one can separate us, not even Heaven. You’re mine!”
Mei Yangyang rolled her eyes at the sight of her husband disgracing himself. She went forth and pulled Long Tianze away before saying to Jin Qingyan, “Ignore this idiot. We’re going down to have our meal first. You two join us later.”
Fang Erlan followed them into the lift.
An Xiaoning hurriedly asked, “Where’s Xiao Chenyang?”
“He’s not with me. He went out to handle something.”
She nodded. The doors of the elevator closed and they were left alone together.
An Xiaoning wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest. “You really scared me. I thought that something had happened to you. I can’t handle any blows from you.”
“Let’s go, let’s go downstairs to eat too. You must be tired after such a long flight. After we’re done eating, we’ll head back up and you can take a shower before getting some rest,” he said while pressing the button of another elevator.
“Where did you go just now?”
“I went to the lobby in a bid to pick you guys up but I didn’t see you. Maybe I missed you guys when you came upstairs. I asked the front desk for the details of your room. I was just planning to look for you guys.”
An Xiaoning looked up at him and asked, “Why do I feel like you seem to look different from before?”
“In what way?”
“You’ve become… so much more handsome. I must keep a close eye on you,” she said, refusing to let go of him.
“Do I need to be monitored?”
“Of course you do. I can’t let those whores near you.”
He smiled and said, “Yes, Milady. You must be my firewall.”
Ding! The elevator doors opened. An Xiaoning let go of him and held his hand instead before exiting the elevator.
Indeed…
An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings to discover that every single woman seemed to be ogling her man…
Jin Qingyan ignored their gazes and walked An Xiaoning to the living room.
Long Tianze and the rest had already placed their orders.
The two of them sat down, and Long Tianze asked Jin Qingyan, “Did you go overseas to visit the beauty salon?”
“What do you mean?”
“Hey, look, we’re both about the same age and you’re in fact a year older than I am. Yet, why does it seem like I’m your older brother now? Just what beauty products have you been using? Recommend them to me.”
“I don’t use any beauty products. I’ll recommend some to you if I ever start using them.”
“…”
Long Tianze was hurt and envious to hear that Jin Qingyan had not used any beauty products.
“Was the DK Organization behind the terrorist attack this time?”
Jin Qingyan answered, “Yes, the terrorists are from R Nation. They work under Pei Yi. They’ve already left the scene, but they’re still within the vicinity.”
“We can’t stay here any longer after having our meal, then.”
An Xiaoning remarked in puzzlement, “Why is Pei Yi here again to stir trouble? Not to mention, this is the capital of Y Nation.”
