706: Chapter Six Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Show Off 706: Chapter Six Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Show Off Gao Yang was dead set on getting rid of the wound on his neck, not because he was vain.
As a rcenary, Gao Yang was very reluctant to have a conspicuous, characteristic scar that could allow anyone to recognize him at a glance.
Therefore, for injuries on exposed areas such as the face or neck, it’s best to treat them early and avoid leaving scars if possible.
There weren’t many plastic surgery clinics in Dubai, but there were so, and the ones that existed were top-of-the-line.
Gao Yang stayed behind and found a private clinic to treat the wound on his neck before it had fully healed and scarred.
Apart from Bruce and Lucica, everyone else had left Dubai.
Bruce, who needed a longer ti to recover, after staying in Dubai for another four or five days and being able to move, finally couldn’t stand staying any longer.
He strongly requested to leave with Gao Yang.
In Dubai, even the airports and major airlines are full of human touches, of course, that’s for the rich.
Can’t move?
No problem, they’ll open a special passage for you, then directly transport you to first class on the plane to lie down.
After returning to Arica with Bruce and Lucica, Gao Yang had to fly from the West Coast’s Seattle to the East Coast’s New York.
No help for it, since Bruce couldn’t handle a plane change, it was up to him to make the extra effort.
Haven’t seen her for a long while, Gao Yang really missed Yelena.
Wanting to give Yelena a surprise, Gao Yang didn’t notify anyone that he was coming to New York.
He landed at noon and took a taxi straight from the airport to Glolov’s ho.
Naturally, he received a warm welco from both Glolovs, but Yelena was still at school and wouldn’t be ho until after classes.
Glolov’s ho was right next to Frey’s, and usually it wouldn’t take more than a few minutes after Gao Yang’s arrival for Frey to co over.
But this ti was a bit special; after Gao Yang had been at Glolov’s ho for a while, soone knocked on the door.
Expecting it to be Frey, Gao Yang opened the door only to find Tommy standing there.
“What are you doing here?”
Caught off guard by Gao Yang’s question, Tommy then replied with an embarrassed smile, “Well, I was planning to go back to Serbia, but, but, but I didn’t know how long this holiday would last.
Plus, since the money I sent last ti was a lot, I wasn’t in a hurry to return.
Moreover, Vita wasn’t feeling too well, so I didn’t go.”
Gao Yang chuckled, looked outside the door for the widow’s figure, and finding none, imdiately laughed, “I think the last part is the most important, right?”
Tommy’s face flushed as he said, “That, that, well, she wanted to co with …”
Gao Yang waved his hand, interrupting urgently, “Forget that, are you and Vita living together now?”
Tommy’s face grew even redder as he whispered, “That, that, I don’t have a ho to go to, and always staying in hotels in Arica…
afterwards, Vita suggested it might be better to stay at her place, and then, I just, um, ended up like this.”
At this mont, Glolov laughed aloud, “Don’t listen to his nonsense.
The mont this guy got to New York, he moved into his girlfriend’s place.
Where’s the talk of staying in hotels?”
Gao Yang exclaid with surprise, “Vita is your girlfriend, you two have made it official?”
After muttering for a long ti, Tommy finally nodded and whispered, “Yes, we’ve established our relationship.
We just haven’t talked about marriage or anything yet.”
Gao Yang grinned, “Well then, congratulations are in order.
But you, my friend, are really not playing by the rules.
According to tradition, you should treat the whole team to a al.
Hmm, we’ll wait until everyone’s together.
You can’t escape it; you’ll have to shell out a bit.”
Tommy nodded repeatedly, “Of course, of course.
You guys decide where, and I’ll treat.”
Gao Yang gestured for Tommy to take a seat, then chuckled, “Where’s Frey run off to?
And Li Jinfang, has he left already?”
Glolov answered with a smile, “Li Jinfang went to Portland first to collect the custom guns he ordered from Jack Morrison and then took off to Africa to find his comrades.
As for Frey, well, the Major League Baseball season hasn’t officially started, but preseason gas are underway.
Frey has been running off to watch baseball gas every day.
If there’s a ga, he’s there to watch, even those of the farm teams cultivated by the Major League.”
Tommy laughed as well, “He’s gone crazy with it, buying all sorts of baseball stuff every day and actually playing with people.
I bet he’s off at the Baseball Field playing baseball with soone and probably won’t co back until it gets dark.”
Just then, Gao Yang turned to Natalia, “Do you know about Catherine’s situation?
She should be all right by now, shouldn’t she?”
Though it felt a bit odd to ask his future mother-in-law about another woman, Gao Yang didn’t feel guilty about it.
Besides, Natalia often visited Catherine, so it was the easiest and most convenient to get information from her.
Natalia smiled, “God bless, Catherine is fine.
She’s recovered very well.
The doctor said she shouldn’t have any lingering effects.
Catherine has already gone back to work.
I’m not sure where she went, but I heard she seems to have gone abroad with so scientific expedition or sothing.”
Upon learning that Catherine had gone abroad, Gao Yang no longer needed to visit her.
He glanced at the ti and chuckled, “Alright, it’s about ti.
I’ll go pick up Yelena.”
As soon as Natalia heard Gao Yang was going to pick up Yelena, she imdiately smiled and said, “Are you driving there?
Which car are you taking?
My car is downstairs, and yours is in the underground garage, but if you decide to drive your own car, you’ll need to wash it first.
It’s covered in dust.”
Of course, if you have a nice car, you should drive it.
Gao Yang’s rcedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG had always been just collecting dust.
Now that he had the chance to drive it, he would certainly take it for a spin.
Gao Yang wasn’t very interested in cars, especially not in supercars—in fact, he had no love for them at all.
At most, his interest lay in the off-road vehicles he often used for work.
When it ca to picking up girls, certainly a supercar was more suitable, but although the rcedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG had a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 engine, it was still just a large sedan.
It could barely pass as a luxury car, but definitely not an ultra-luxury one.
However, for Gao Yang, having such a car was already very satisfying.
He took the car out, went to get it washed and filled up the tank.
Then he drove to the Juilliard School and found a parking spot right at the entrance.
He then stood by the school gates waiting for Yelena’s class to end.
Yelena was very diligent, practicing piano in the piano room whenever she didn’t have classes or going ho.
She hardly had any extracurricular activities.
Natalia had already arranged the ti to pick her up, and all Gao Yang had to do was stand by the school entrance on ti to et her.
At the agreed ti, Gao Yang saw Yelena, head down and hurrying toward the school gate with her violin case.
Gao Yang remained silent, just watching her with a smile.
When Yelena lifted her head to look for her mother and suddenly saw Gao Yang, she covered her mouth with one hand, staring at him in surprise.
There was still a distance of over twenty ters between them.
Gao Yang smiled and spread his arms wide.
Upon seeing this, Yelena let out a shriek and ran toward Gao Yang, placing her violin case on the ground and leaping to embrace him.
Yelena reached out to hug Gao Yang’s neck but upon seeing the bandage on his neck, she cried out in shock.
Her hands, originally stretched towards Gao Yang’s neck, quickly moved down to avoid it, causing her to lose balance.
Gao Yang caught Yelena in his arms, lifted her up in a circle and then planted a kiss on her.
After kissing Gao Yang eagerly for a mont, Yelena, contrary to her usual deanor, wriggled out of Gao Yang’s arms.
Looking at his neck anxiously, she reached out, her voice trembling, “What happened?
Are you hurt?”
Gao Yang grabbed Yelena’s hand and laughed, “Don’t worry, look how scared you are.
It’s just a small cut from a tree branch, nothing serious.
If it were serious, would I have been able to co pick you up?”
Yelena still looked concerned, prompting Gao Yang to quickly add, “Alright, I just ca from your house.
Today we don’t have to rush back ho.
Where would you like to go?”
Yelena hugged Gao Yang tightly once again and said softly, “As long as I’m with you, anywhere is fine.
My dear, I’ve missed you.”
Gao Yang smiled, “Good, then let’s follow my plan.
We’ll go for dinner first, then take you shopping for so stuff, afterwards we can watch a movie.
If you have any good recomndations, we can also go to a concert or sothing.
And lastly, your mom said we don’t have to go ho tonight…”
After a strong hug, Yelena whispered, “That’s great, I an, did my dad say anything?”
Gao Yang laughed, “Hmm, your dad said it would be alright to co back a bit later, but it’s better to go ho.
However, after your mom talked to him, he also said we don’t have to return tonight.
Actually, if we want, we can stay away from ho for these next few days.”
Yelena exclaid with joy, “That’s amazing!
My dear, the weekend is the day after tomorrow, and next Monday and Tuesday, there will be concerts by the graduating seniors, no classes, and I don’t have to participate either.
That ans we’ll have four days.”
Gao Yang laughed heartily, “Fantastic!
So let’s get going.
What do you feel like eating?”
Just then, Yelena’s eyes sparkled, “No, wait, let’s not hurry.
Can you go for a walk with first?”
Yelena took Gao Yang’s arm and had him carry her violin case.
After entering the school, they strolled slowly across the campus.
Gao Yang didn’t know why Yelena wanted to walk around the school, but he soon found out.
Eventually, when they ca across two girls Yelena knew, she suddenly waved and called out loudly, “Hey, Kasey, Evelyn, where are you heading?
Oh, let introduce you, this is my boyfriend, my fiancé.”
Yelena was a violin major, aning she studied instruntal music.
Among those who studied instruntal music, while there might be more beautiful won than average, it certainly wasn’t like film schools where nearly everyone was a beauty.
It was simply Yelena dragging Gao Yang around, stopping to chat with every acquaintance they t, then pushing Gao Yang forward to introduce him.
Gao Yang felt awkward, but seeing Yelena’s joyous and excited smile, he could only smile back and accompany her towards more crowded areas.
