Chapter 293: Unexpected Encounter
(Sorry, got the Chapter na wrong. It should be Chapter 293 and Chapter 294. There’s no mistake otherwise, just the next Chapter will be Chapter 295. Didn’t miss one. Just a Chapter na issue that can’t be changed, so I’m explaining it here. Apologies!)
The flight had already landed, and it was the ti for passengers to deplane and claim their luggage. Given the Shinohara Family’s wealth, they might be flying first class, which ans getting off the plane before economy passengers. For Li Yan, who was waiting, it wouldn’t take much longer now.
But at this critical mont, he unexpectedly saw soone who astonished him—a person who showed up here, completely out of his control!
Of course, it wasn’t Qiao Huanxuan. If he ran into Qiao Huanxuan every ti he ca to the airport, that’d be too much of a coincidence, unless she was a flight attendant flying to S City every day.
The person who appeared now was soone Li Yan never expected—Yu Xiaodi!
Why would Yu Xiaodi show up here?
Could she just happen to be picking soone up too?
This unexpected discovery left Li Yan slightly awkward, unsure whether he should avoid her or greet her directly. Although he was legitimately here to pick up a company client, chosen by his wife, he did have a past with Shinohara Mirai, and Mirai didn’t know Yu Xiaodi, only having t Zhang Yurong and Wen Qianyi. If she got excited upon seeing him and rushed over for a hug or a kiss...
Just as he was feeling helpless, his phone rang.
The call at this ti should only be from Shinohara Mirai, who had deplaned. Without looking, he quickly answered.
"Mirai, you deplaned, right? I’m already here, waiting for you at the exit..."
"Heh heh..."
Hearing a slight chuckle on the phone, Li Yan was taken aback. This didn’t sound like Shinohara Mirai; the voice was too familiar!
He quickly checked the phone, and indeed, it wasn’t an unfamiliar number—it was Wen Qianyi’s number!
"Qianyi, it’s you." Li Yan smiled wryly, indeed when you’re in a rush, mistakes happen. "Haha! See, I’m so obedient to you, you told to pick them up, and I haven’t been lazy. I’ve been here waiting for a while, and just now I thought it was Shinohara Mirai deplaning and calling . So, what’s the new instruction, Boss Wen?"
Listening to his bantering, Wen Qianyi mildly chuckled coldly: "Are you really following my words? Or are you in a hurry to et a lover? Is it only Mirai this ti? Didn’t Matsushima Kui co along? I see you’re eager to pick them up."?
Li Yan broke into a sweat.
"Ahem... it’s not what you think; I’m pretty straight-laced." Even as he said this, Li Yan blushed a bit. "Anyway, now that I’m in film business, not related to overseas operations, I’m here to receive based on your arrangents. Even if it wasn’t Shinohara Mirai but an unknown Beihai person, I would still take it seriously."
"Heh heh..."
Wen Qianyi suddenly let out a deeply aningful laugh, making Li Yan feel a bit awkward.
"Feeling the pressure?"
"Pressure?"
"Heh heh, you said all that righteousness, is it because you saw Yu Xiaodi?"
"Xiaodi?" Li Yan was startled, then quickly looked over, Yu Xiaodi was already nearby. Yet, since many were waiting to pick up passengers, her gaze was focused on the exit and hadn’t noticed the waiting crowd, therefore not seeing him yet.
Upon hearing Wen Qianyi ntion Yu Xiaodi, he realized—that Xiaodi showing up here was likely not a coincidence, but sothing she was notified about!
This cunning wench, Wen Qianyi is indeed jealous! But not wanting to lose face herself, she instead inford his official girlfriend Yu Xiaodi to ss things up!
"Don’t be surprised. You must have seen her. And yes, I’m the one who inford her. I told her you were coming back from a business trip and had her co pick you up."
Wen Qianyi had tid everything precisely. Now that she had gloated enough, she didn’t care how troubled Li Yan was and directly hung up.
Li Yan was speechless. Yu Xiaodi still trusted Wen Qianyi quite a bit, so upon hearing this, she probably assud he was on the plane and thus didn’t call to verify. Her current looking around was likely her waiting for him to erge from inside.
Xiaodi’s devotion indeed made him care a lot and moved him deeply, though he knew eting her now would complicate things. Avoiding her and calling her to go back would be the easiest route. But he didn’t want to treat Xiaodi that way!
Glancing at the exit, seeing not many passengers had co out yet, Li Yan imdiately walked towards Yu Xiaodi.
"Xiaodi..."
Yu Xiaodi, who was eagerly looking around, felt a tap on her shoulder. Just as she was about to snap, she heard a familiar voice. Her knitted brows imdiately unwrinkled, and she turned with a smile towards him.
"Big brother! Why are you out so early?"
Li Yan sighed ruefully: "Don’t ntion it, Wen Qianyi is playing tricks on you."
"Hmm?" Yu Xiaodi opened her eyes wide, not understanding why Wen Qianyi would play a trick on her.
"It’s like this. I’m not coming back from anywhere; I’m actually here to pick soone up. A company partner from Beihai Country, an important guest who’s also my friend, so the company had co to receive them. Qianyi was just jokingly asking you to co over..."
