Chapter 125: Chapter 125: The Rival in Love Appears

The next day

"President Ruan, have you had breakfast? Shall I take you straight to the airport?"

Master Zhou helped put the suitcase into the trunk and then asked.

"Not yet, first go pick up my boyfriend." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Master Zhou was stunned for a moment, as he did not know that Ruan Hongzhuang had a boyfriend.

However, he quickly recovered. He couldn’t meddle in his boss’s private affairs and would do as he was told.

So he asked, "Where should we pick him up?"

Ruan Hongzhuang gave an address, then opened the car door and got in.

Master Zhou hurriedly got into the car and headed towards Shen Siyuan’s place.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan was also coming down from upstairs.

"You three stay close to me, and during the flight, don’t run around, especially Dou Dou, if you run outside the plane and get lost, I won’t be responsible for you." Shen Siyuan warned the three little ones as he descended the stairs.

"It’s okay, just take out the flag and shake it, and I’ll come back." Dou Dou said.

"Oh, getting smart, aren’t you?" Shen Siyuan said in surprise.

Dou Dou glared at Shen Siyuan upon hearing this; what did he mean she was getting smart, she had always been smart.

Duoduo stood by, holding her little head, with a silly grin on her face.

"Brother, can I meet Mom and Dad today?" she asked happily.

"It depends on the time, if we can make it, I’ll take you to meet them today; if not, tomorrow morning." Shen Siyuan replied.

"Hehe~" Duoduo was overjoyed.

Shen Siyuan then said to Xiao Yue, "Duoduo is going to meet her parents, you can take Dou Dou around, but watch her carefully so she doesn’t cause trouble."

"Humph, I am very well-behaved."

Shen Siyuan arrived outside the residential area, where Ruan Hongzhuang was already waiting by the car, with Master Zhou standing a bit further away.

Today, she was not wearing a skirt but had on a one-shoulder denim dungaree dress with a black tube top underneath and black flat shoes, the cuffs rolled up revealing her pale ankles.

Her mature demeanor was now livened with a touch of sprightliness.

Seeing Shen Siyuan walking over with a backpack, she immediately straightened up and waved.

Master Zhou seeing this, realized that Shen Siyuan was the boyfriend President Ruan had mentioned. He hurriedly walked around the car to greet Shen Siyuan, offering to take his luggage.

Shen Siyuan didn’t hesitate and handed over his bag.

"Have you been here long? Why didn’t you call me, I would have come down earlier." Shen Siyuan said.

"No, I just got here too, I thought you would be down, so I just waited for a bit."

Ruan Hongzhuang naturally linked her arm with Shen Siyuan’s.

They had kissed and touched over these past days, so the gesture was even more intimate.

Ruan Hongzhuang briefly introduced him and Master Zhou, then the two of them got into the car.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Let’s eat at the airport; the VIP lounge will have food, we can just grab something there."

Ruan Hongzhuang and Shen Siyuan held hands tightly and snuggled up together.

Master Zhou, driving at the front, couldn’t help but glance at them through the rear-view mirror, quickly averting his gaze to avoid being noticed.

It was his first time seeing Ruan Hongzhuang with such a girlish demeanor, even her voice sounding tender, losing her usual aloof coldness.

Shen Siyuan sniffed and smiled, "Your perfume smells great today."

"Right? I knew you’d like this one." Ruan Hongzhuang replied, slightly proud.

The airport in Bin Hai was not like other provincial or municipal airports far from the downtown area in a remote, desolate suburb, but rather, it was nearby, so it didn’t take them long to reach the airport.

After getting out of the car, Shen Siyuan put on his backpack and also took Ruan Hongzhuang’s large suitcase, which she had packed a lot.

Xiao Yue and the others, also rolled in, gathering around him like a Yin Wind.

Dou Dou was the most excited because she was going out to play; this was the first time she had ever flown so far by plane, and the same for Duoduo.

"Brought so much stuff, huh?"

"Better safe than sorry, but are you sure you’ll be back tomorrow?"

"Not sure, might stay a few more days." Shen Siyuan said.

Now was summer vacation, and the flights to Xiajing were super expensive. A round trip cost a lot of money; coming back after just staying one night really wouldn’t be worth it.

Moreover, as the southernmost province of Daxia, Bin Hai has people like Lady Huang, so does Xiajing, as the capital of Daxia, possibly have such people too.

"Have you asked for leave from your company?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with a hint of joy.

"Just a phone call will do," Shen Siyuan replied.

As for the weekly Monday work, as long as it’s done within the week, it’ll be fine. Because the operational activity plans are made the week before for the next week, it doesn’t matter if it’s not done on Monday, doing it on Friday is also possible.

"Let’s stay a few more days then. Have you been to Xiajing before? I studied in Xiajing before. Do you want me to be your guide..."

Ruan Hongzhuang, clinging to Shen Siyuan, chattered nonstop.

Master Zhou, who originally wanted to pick up the luggage and say a word to Ruan Hongzhuang, could only awkwardly put down his hand.

It’s over, President Ruan has completely fallen in love.

Shen Siyuan had long put the "Soul-hooking Chain" tied around his waist into the Storage Space, thus passing the security check safely.

-----------------

"Big grey plane."

Dou Dou and Duoduo pressed against the glass wall, looking at the planes on the tarmac.

"Shall we go check it out?" Xiao Yue was also interested.

"Can we?" Duoduo asked excitedly.

"I’ll go ask my brother," Xiao Yue turned around to find Shen Siyuan.

"Remember to come back on time."

Shen Siyuan gave a reminder but didn’t restrict their actions.

So, the three little ones, stirring up a Yin Wind, dashed toward the tarmac and then into the planes to wander around.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang ate breakfast in the VIP lounge.

The morning schedule was very tight; right after they finished breakfast, it was already time to board.

The flight would take about four hours, arriving in Xiajing at one in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Ruan Hongzhuang booked business class, which was quite spacious. Taking a nap would be enough to wake up by arrival.

However, Shen Siyuan, full of energy, didn’t need to sleep during normal hours, and Ruan Hongzhuang, since it was her first trip with Shen Siyuan, wasn’t sleepy either, so they whisperingly chatted.

They talked mostly about Ruan Hongzhuang’s experiences while studying in Xiajing.

Ruan Hongzhuang studied International Economics and Trade, which matches her current field of work.

"It was because of my parents’ wishes that I chose this major."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s parents were also in the shipping business, which is why they had her pursue this field.

"What about you? What was your major?"

"Computer Science," Shen Siyuan replied.

When he was in university, it was the peak time for Computer Science, so Shen Siyuan also followed the trend and chose that major.

So Shen Siyuan actually knew how to program; he had learned C, Java, Python, etc., but since he hadn’t used them in so long, he almost forgot it all.

To avoid disturbing others’ rest, they didn’t continue speaking in the latter part of the journey; Ruan Hongzhuang chose to sleep, while Shen Siyuan immersed his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness.

When they were awoken by severe turbulence, they had already arrived in Xiajing, and the plane was taxiing on the ground.

Xiao Yue and Duoduo squeezed together in the adjacent seat, while Dou Dou sat in Shen Siyuan’s lap, curled up in his arms.

Since Shen Siyuan wouldn’t let them out of the cabin, they were bored during the flight.

Seeing the plane landing, they all transformed into Yin Wind and rushed out.

"Strange, where is this wind in the cabin coming from?" Ruan Hongzhuang was puzzled.

"Maybe it’s the air conditioning." Shen Siyuan pointed to the air vent above.

Ruan Hongzhuang casually mentioned it and didn’t dwell on the matter any further.

After getting off the plane and picking up the luggage, the three little ones emerged from somewhere and continued following behind Shen Siyuan.

"Should we go eat something first or directly take a cab to the hotel?"

Ruan Hongzhuang, arm in arm with Shen Siyuan, walked towards the exit.

"Let’s go to the hotel first. Are you hungry?"

As they were talking, they heard a man ahead shouting, "Hongzhuang, this way."

Shen Siyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a suit holding a bouquet of roses, smiling at them, or more precisely, at Ruan Hongzhuang standing next to him.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s face instantly darkened, then she instinctively turned her head to look at Shen Siyuan.
