Chapter 1305 Yun Rui's Devotion: A Woman Chasing a Man Across Oceans
Yang Bin said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the office, his steps heavy as if filled with lead. The moment the elevator door closed, he opened the envelope and looked at the plane ticket to London inside, his eyes suddenly warmed.
As a father, he actually had to rely on this method to help his daughter get out of the shadow. It's really a joke to tell others...
After Yang Bin left, Gu Yunqian immediately called Lin Junze and asked, "Did he receive it?"
"I accepted it, but Yang Ju seemed reluctant." Lin Junze's voice was a little cautious.
"It's okay." Gu Yunqian walked to the window and watched Yang Bin disappear in the traffic downstairs. "Go wait near Yang Xiaotang's house now. If he hands the ticket to Yang Xiaotang personally, wait at their door and send her to the airport in person to ensure she can take off smoothly tomorrow."
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yunqian rubbed his eyebrows.
He knew that doing so was a bit risky. If Yang Xiaotang did something extreme in the UK, he would have a hard time explaining to Yang Bin.
But this is the quickest solution right now. We can't really let Qi Ruixiang come back - the project over there has just started, Yun Xi's emotions are unstable, and he can't leave.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Lin Junze was waiting downstairs of Yang Xiaotang's house.
He was wearing a gray hoodie with the brim pulled down low, sitting in the car and staring at the entrance of the apartment building.
The phone vibrated on the passenger seat. It was a message from Gu Yunqian: "Please comfort the father and daughter."
Lin Junze had just replied "received" when he saw Yang Xiaotang appear at the door of the apartment building.
She was wearing a loose black coat, her hair was tied back in a messy pile, her face was as pale as paper, and she was holding a small suitcase in her hand, which looked like it would be blown over by the wind at any time.
He immediately opened the car door and went to greet her: "Miss Yang."
Yang Xiaotang was startled. Seeing that it was him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You are..."
"I'm Lin Junze, Mr. Gu's assistant." He tried to sound kind. "Mr. Gu asked me to take you to the airport."
Yang Xiaotang lowered his head, and his hand holding the passport tightened, shaking violently.
She cried all night when her father put the plane ticket on her bedside yesterday.
She hated Qi Ruixiang's indifference and her own incompetence, but when she saw the word "London" on the plane ticket, she actually had a secret expectation in her heart - perhaps, she could ask him in person whether he had ever fallen in love with her even for a moment.
"I can go by myself." Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing anything.
"Boss Gu has instructed us to get you there safely." Lin Junze took the suitcase from her hand and found it was so light it seemed empty. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Let's get in the car. If we don't leave now, we'll miss the plane."
Yang Xiaotang didn't refuse and quietly got into the passenger seat. When Lin Junze started the car, he secretly glanced at her in the rearview mirror and found that she was staring out the window in a daze, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she didn't make a sound.
The atmosphere in the car was very depressing. Lin Junze turned on the radio and soothing music flowed out, but it failed to dilute the heaviness.
He knew how upset the girl was, but as a subordinate, all he could do was follow orders.
When they arrived at the airport, Lin Junze helped her check in and handed her her ticket and passport. "The apartment address and keys are in the envelope. Someone will pick you up when you get there. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Yang Xiaotang took the things, nodded, and turned to walk towards the security checkpoint. Halfway there, she suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Junze with a bit of confusion in her eyes: "He... Does Qi Ruixiang know I'm coming?"
Lin Junze was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Gu Yunqian's instructions and shook his head: "I don't know. Mr. Gu said that he and you are the same age and he can understand you. But emotional issues are everyone's private affairs and he doesn't want to interfere."
Yang Xiaotang pulled up a smile that was uglier than crying. She turned around and walked into the security checkpoint step by step. Her back was as thin as a leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time.
Lin Junze stood there, watching her disappear in the crowd. He took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Yunqian: "The person has been sent in."
I received a reply soon: "Thank you for your hard work, come back."
When Lin Junze started the car and left the airport, he saw the morning sun rising slowly in the sky, and the golden light covered the runway.
He didn't know what the outcome of Yang Xiaotang's trip to the UK would be, nor did he know how Qi Ruixiang would react when he learned that she was coming.
He only knew that this turmoil caused by unrequited love would finally come to an end in another country.
At this moment in London, Qi Ruixiang was walking with Gu Yunxi in Hyde Park.
Cherry blossoms fell in their hair, and Gu Yunxi's laughter was as clear as a silver bell. Qi Ruixiang looked at her flushed cheeks and reached out to brush the petals off her shoulders, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing...
As the plane soared into the sky, Yang Xiaotang's fingers tightly grasped the ticket to London. Safety instructions were playing over the cabin broadcast, the gentle female voice muffled as if through a layer of cotton.
She stared out the window at the shrinking city skyline, her heart racing. What was Qi Ruixiang doing now? Was he at the company, handling official business, or staying with Gu Yunxi?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it forcefully. She wasn't here to catch someone cheating, she was here to relax, Gu Yunqian said.
But he couldn't help but slide his fingertips across the phone screen. He opened the map software, entered the address of Qi Ruixiang's company, and compared it repeatedly with the apartment location marked on the plane ticket.
The straight-line distance is less than three kilometers, and it takes about ten minutes by taxi.
This discovery made her heart beat faster, with both anticipation and panic.
The flight of more than ten hours felt like a long dream.
A drizzle was falling over London when the plane landed at Heathrow Airport. Yang Xiaotang dragged her suitcase out of the terminal, and the damp air, tinged with a faint earthy smell, blew in her face, sending a chill down her spine.
The taxi drove through the rain towards the city center. The red brick walls and steeple churches along the way kept receding, but she had no mood to appreciate them - her mind was full of "Will he suddenly appear on the corner?"
"What to say if you meet me by chance".
The rain had stopped by the time the taxi stopped outside a retro apartment building.
Yang Xiaotang looked up at the ivy-covered building. The brown wooden door with a brass knocker looked like a scene from a movie.
She took a deep breath, took out the key and inserted it into the lock. With a light "click", the door opened.
There is a small pot of succulents on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, with water droplets hanging on the tender green leaves.
When Yang Xiaotang took off her shoes, her eyes swept over the shoes in the shoe cabinet - in addition to a few pairs of men's slippers, there were more exquisite high heels and canvas shoes, which were obviously girls' sizes.
Her heart sank for a moment, but she immediately comforted herself: Maybe Qi Ruixiang stayed here occasionally, and the girl's shoes belonged to the cleaning lady.
The living room has good lighting. The beige sofa is covered with a knitted blanket, and an open album of impressionist water lilies is placed on the coffee table.
The flower stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window is filled with green plants, and the leaves are kept clean.
Yang Xiaotang put down her suitcase and walked over, her fingers gently brushing the lines on the leaves. Suddenly, she saw a pink ceramic cup placed in the corner of the windowsill. The cup was painted with ginkgo leaves - pink, ginkgo leaves...
It's his residence!
