182: Chapter 181 Airport Lobby 182: Chapter 181 Airport Lobby anwhile, at Modu Airport’s main hall.
Qiaoqiao and Shen Manjun were sitting in the hall’s chairs, where the two beauties, one big and one small, instantly beca a unique sight within the hall.
Shen Manjun elegantly seated herself, her delicate and pretty face void of expression, even frosty, but that couldn’t conceal her captivating charm.
Her refined features made it impossible for anyone to guess her real age.
At this mont, Shen Manjun was dressed in a pristine white short cheongsam, perfectly showcasing her figure.
However, even though everyone knew Shen Manjun was very beautiful, no one dared to approach her—not that they didn’t want to, but rather, they didn’t dare.
This woman was like a thorny rose, to be admired from a distance, or else, her thorns would make one’s head bloody and bruised.
Because there were a few fearless ones who had tried to hit on her, only to be blocked by the burly n standing behind her, nobody wanted to embarrass themselves by approaching needlessly.
Who knew what her temper was like?
If she were to beat them up, they would have nowhere to seek justice.
After all, the most important reason n approached beautiful won was the hope of a sweet reward, but now, not only was there no sweetness to be had, they might even receive a bitter blow.
So, who would dare approach?
It was enough to just look.
Qiaoqiao was sitting next to Shen Manjun, absentmindedly surveying her surroundings, her eyes occasionally falling on the airport’s entrance.
Then she would lower her gaze to her phone, looking restless.
“Qiaoqiao, what’s wrong?
Is there sothing on your mind?” Shen Manjun asked, slightly frowning as she observed her daughter’s deanor.
Qiaoqiao shook her head, “Mom, I’m fine.
Why do we have to leave Modu?
Haven’t we been living well here?”
“Indeed, it’s comfortable.
But this is your grandfather’s wish, he insisted on sending you back to Beijing for school after hearing about your recent close call.
Moreover, I’m often away on business trips and can’t stay at ho.
Your grandparents are getting older, and it would be good for you to take care of them.
Besides, when you’re on break, you can co to visit Modu; it’s not too far.
Co on, no sulking, be happy,” Shen Manjun said, stroking her daughter’s head with a soft and gentle voice.
“I understand.”
Qiaoqiao nodded, knowing that once her grandfather had made a decision, it was almost impossible to change.
Her gaze returned to the entrance of the hall, filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up as though she’d discovered sothing astonishing, and she bolted up from her chair, heading straight to the entrance.
“Uncle, I’m here, I’m over here!”
Qiaoqiao hopped and skipped forward, her face bursting into a beaming smile, oblivious to Shen Manjun’s darkening expression.
Lu Tianxing had just entered the airport hall, wondering whether he should call Qiaoqiao to ask where she was, when he heard Qiaoqiao’s clear, bell-like voice nearby.
Following the sound, he saw Qiaoqiao, dressed casually with a sun hat, running towards him.
He broke into a subdued smile and strode over to et her.
“Uncle, you finally ca.
I thought you weren’t going to show up,” Qiaoqiao said, catching her breath slightly, her cheeks flushed and looking extrely charming and cute.
“How could I not?
I made a promise to you yesterday, so of course, I wouldn’t go back on my word.
I was just delayed a bit on the road.
Look, this is the present I got for you, do you like it?”
Lu Tianxing chuckled and patted Qiaoqiao’s head, then pulled out the larger-than-life plush white bear from behind and handed it to Qiaoqiao.
“Uncle, I’m warning you, don’t touch my head in the future.
I’m not little anymore.
At my age in ancient tis, I would already be a mother.
Stop treating like a child, hmph.”
Qiaoqiao glared at Lu Tianxing discontentedly, took the giant white bear plushie from his hands, and hugged it before speaking, “Uncle, you’re late.
But considering you prepared a gift for this ti, I’ll magnanimously forgive you.
If you dare be late next ti, beware that I might bite you to death.”
Seeing Qiaoqiao’s cute baring of teeth, Lu Tianxing laughed heartily, “Okay, okay, I promise you, I won’t touch your head next ti.
How about pinching your nose instead?”
“You dare!
If you dare to pinch my nose and flatten it, beware that I’ll cling to you for life,” Qiaoqiao said indignantly, punching the plush bear as if it was Lu Tianxing.
“Mr.
Lu, what are you doing here?”
Just then, an angry voice sounded.
Lu Tianxing instinctively looked to the side and was montarily stunned.
Shen Manjun stood not far from him, her arms crossed and eyes blazing with fury, looking as if she could chop off his hand in the next second.
A bit taken aback, Lu Tianxing quickly collected himself and said with a smile, “Miss Shen, it seems there’s so misunderstanding in your words.
This hall is a public area; if you can be here, why can’t I?
Besides, Qiaoqiao and I are friends.
A friend is leaving the city, and it’s only right and proper for to see her off, isn’t it?”
“Hmph, who knows if you’re really here to see Qiaoqiao off or if you have an ulterior motive.”
Shen Manjun snorted, her gaze towards Lu Tianxing tinged with suspicion.
She was well aware of her own allure; any man who looked at her would be distracted, if not completely srized.
Yet, when Lu Tianxing saw her, he was only briefly startled before regaining his composure, treating her as if she was nothing more than an unusual sight.
