Luo Anning paused while rubbing her temples before asking, “Kristen, how are you so sure?”
“I only checked on it because it’s your husband. I was afraid that you might miss him too much so I decided to find out beforehand. Well, I then told you about it immediately afterwards. You don’t have to thank me. I’ll appreciate it if you could show your gratitude in a way that’s more pragmatic.” Kristen smiled.
Luo Anning pursed her lips and said, “Hey, I noticed that you’ve become more and more thick-skinned. Who did you learn that from?”
“You.” Kristen retorted.
Luo Anning was speechless.
Can I strangle him to death?
He actually beat around the bush to indirectly call me thick-skinned!
The angrier she was, the more her head ached. Luo Anning took a deep breath and said, “My benefactor, if that’s what you wanted to talk to me about, I’m very thankful. If there’s nothing else, shall we hang up now?”
Kristen asked, “Aren’t you going to pick him up at the airport?”
“… Nah.”
“Hey… why are you so boring? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. If you go pick him up at the airport, he might just be so thrilled… ”
“Shut up!” Luo Anning immediately barked, for fear that he would say something atrocious.
Kristen cleared his throat and said, “Fine, it’s up to you then. I’ve already told you the news anyway. I’m going to hang up.”
He then hung up while Luo Anning put the phone aside, feeling a little giddy.
Unable to stand it anymore, she applied for leave again and left the office.
The chauffeur asked, “Young Madam, would you like to return to Luxury Mansion?”
Luo Anning gave it some thought and realized that there was another hour to go until Rong Yan arrived. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to go pick him up.
“Make a few rounds before going to the airport.”
The chauffeur answered, “Alright, Young Madam.”
…
They only arrived at the airport an hour and ten minutes later, which was a little late.
Luo Anning asked the driver to stop and she alighted to walk towards the airport.
Four bodyguards followed her and they entered the airport together.
Luo Anning knew that Rong Yan would definitely use the VIP passageway to excite the airport. Hence, she decided to go there and wait. Feeling a little giddy, she leaned against the wall and waited slowly.
Noticing that she seemed to be unwell, the bodyguard suggested, “Young Madam, would you like to go get a checkup at the hospital?”
She shook her head and said, “No, there’s no need for that. I’ll be alright after getting some sleep.”
The bodyguard hesitated before saying, “But your condition doesn’t seem too well.”
Luo Anning smiled faintly and said, “I’m fine… ”
At this moment, the sounds of miscellaneous footsteps shuffling filled the passageway and the joyous chirp of a woman interjected Luo Anning.
“Did you know? The happiest thing for me is being together with you. I still think about the beautiful memories that we had, even until today. Whenever I do, I can’t help but feel my heart race. By the way, Yan! I haven’t had food cooked by you for four years. Will you cook for me tonight?”
Luo Anning quivered and froze before turning around to look at them.
She was greeted with the sight of Rong Yan carrying Mo Xiyan, which made her stand rooted to the ground.
Sensing his body stiffening, Mo Xiyan looked up at him and the direction of his gaze.
It was his wife, Luo Anning.
Rong Yan was suddenly at a loss over what to do. Staring at Luo Anning, he muttered, “… Anning.”
Luo Anning stared at him quietly. Or rather, she stared at them.
Despite feeling like a million daggers had pierced through her heart, Luo Anning still kept a straight face.
