Xu Da smiled shyly and said, "I hope so." After that, he shook hands with Yi Lian. The two of them looked at each other deeply and smiled as they let go of each other's hands.
Yi Lian then shook hands with Li Rui, Yang Xiang, and Zixuan and said goodbye. She then stood in place and watched them walk into the passage.
"I … like Qingqing. I want to take care of her for the rest of my life!"
On the way to the departure hall, Xu Da suddenly said something shocking to Li Rui and the other two. Li Rui and the other two were shocked. They all turned to look at him and saw that his face was bashful, but his eyes were full of determination and courage.
Yang Xiang laughed and shouted, "My sixth sense was right!"
Since the beginning of the revenge operation last night, Yang Xiang had noticed Xu Da's concern for Yang Qingqing. He sent a message to Li Rui several times. He didn't expect that he had guessed correctly. Although he was happy, he was also shocked.
Li Rui had a lot to say to Xu Da, but in the end, he just patted his shoulder and said softly, "I support you!"
Zixuan didn't say much. For example, "How did you fall in love with Qingqing?" He just smiled and said, "Qingqing is a good woman!"
Xu Da saw that his three good friends didn't question his words and intentions and just supported him without saying anything. He was very touched and said with a sigh, "Actually, I only had a good impression of Qingqing at first, like a friend. But later, when I saw her crying so sadly when she heard that Ah Nan had died, I also felt bad. I had a kind of … a kind of idea to take care of her and treat her well for the rest of my life."
Li Rui said, "Qingqing is the best choice for a good wife. You won't regret marrying her. But then again, it's still a bit early to talk about marriage. Hehe, shouldn't you let Qingqing know your love for her first?"
Zixuan shook his head and said, "Don't. Qingqing is still grieving over Ah Nan's death. She probably won't consider Xu Da, at least not now. So it's best not to touch this soft nail."
Li Rui argued, "I think he should take the opportunity to confess to Qingqing now. This can divert Qingqing's sadness and let Qingqing know that she has someone to rely on in the future. The sadness in her heart will dissipate faster."
This time, Yang Xiang unexpectedly supported Li Rui's opinion. "I agree. If you want to confess, you should do it early. Isn't that what they say?" As he spoke, he said to Xu Da, "When Qingqing returns to the country, go and see her immediately and confess to her. Qingqing also has a good impression of you. Once you confess, she will accept it."
Xu Da smiled bitterly but sweetly. He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when she returns to the country."
Li Rui wanted to ask him how he was going to handle his relationship with Yi Lian since he wanted to be Yang Qingqing's partner. However, after thinking about it, Li Rui felt that he should be able to handle it well. Furthermore, he should have already done so. Didn't he hear Yi Lian say that she would go to his wedding in China next time? He must have already told Yi Lian his thoughts. Speaking of which, with their identities and nationalities, no matter how good their relationship was, they could only be lovers. Thus, they might as well give up on such a vague relationship and just be good friends. This was better for both of them.
"Wait for me, I'm going to buy some gifts for Sister Qingman!"
Seeing that there were duty-free shops on both sides of the aisle, Zixuan suddenly remembered that he had not bought a gift for Qingman and hurried to buy it. Everyone else also stopped to accompany her in her shopping.
The duty-free shops at Newark Airport did not have many choices. They only sold cigarettes, alcohol, watches, cosmetics, bags, books, and so on. Of course, they were not as good as the big shopping malls, but they could always choose a few things to give as gifts.
Zixuan bought Qingman two sets of Estee Lauder cosmetics and a branded handbag. In the end, she also wanted to buy her a watch, but she found that the watch brand was only Sloane, which was not high-end enough, so she gave up. After shopping, she remembered that Yang Xiang was beside her. She said guiltily, "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiang Xiang. I only remembered Qingman as an older sister and forgot about you as a younger sister. I haven't bought you anything yet. Wait for me, I'll buy you a gift. It's more or less a token of my sincerity."
Yang Xiang smiled and declined politely, "You don't have to buy anything. Can't you see from my clothes? I don't like the things that normal women like. Just treat me as half a man."
Li Rui saw that Zixuan was embarrassed and said with a smile, "Xiang Xiang is like this. If you want to repay her for saving your life, just treat her to a few more delicious meals later."
Yang Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by saving my life? Don't you know how to talk?"
Li Rui also felt that he had said too much. He smiled apologetically and did not dare to say anything more.
The group walked to the departure lounge. There were still more than 30 minutes before boarding, so they had to sit down and wait. Li Rui sat for a while and felt a little uncomfortable. He got up and rushed to the bathroom in case it was inconvenient for him to go to the bathroom after boarding later.
After he finished, Li Rui was washing his hands in front of the sink when he suddenly heard a familiar man's voice from the cubicle behind him. The voice was not loud, but it was loud and clear. He spoke in Chinese with a slight Shannan accent, "What's wrong with calling you at this time? I suddenly wanted to know the situation at home, so I called you to ask. What's wrong? Did I disturb your sleep? " After a while, he said, "Oh, I know. I'm going back the day after tomorrow. Why are you rushing me … I know you're not rushing me. Help me tell that woman that I just had my stitches removed and I need at least two days of rest. That's all. If you have anything to say, wait until I get back."
When Li Rui heard this person's voice, he was stunned. He felt that he had heard this person somewhere before, but he should not be familiar with this person, so he could not remember his voice. The only thing he could be sure of was that this person was undoubtedly from Shannan. His accent was a little bit like the provincial capital of Jingnan. As he was pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of the toilet flushing. He guessed that the person was coming out. He hesitated for a while and quickly walked to the door. He did not plan to meet the person. The reason was very simple. He could not recognize who the person was, so it would not be good to meet him in America. Otherwise, it might bring trouble.
"Hmph, now you're thinking of me, the general manager. Why did you do it earlier? Haven't you always been so arrogant? Then why don't you take on the responsibility yourself? Why do you need me, your assistant? "
When Li Rui walked to the door, the person had already walked out of the cubicle and was walking to the washstand. He said this as he walked.
When Li Rui heard this, his body and mind were shocked. "General manager?" This term was not unfamiliar to him. There were general managers everywhere in the officialdom. In a bureau, there was a deputy director. In a county, there was a deputy mayor. In a city, there was a deputy mayor. The man who spoke was obviously a general manager, but he did not know what level of general manager he was. He was getting more and more curious about this person's identity. He was determined to find out. When he came out, there was a bookstore diagonally across the street. He rolled his eyes and had an idea. He quickly walked into the bookstore and stood at the bookshelf near the door. He pretended to buy books, but his eyes secretly glanced at the bathroom door.
Half a minute later, he was disappointed. Although the man walked out, he wore a pair of large sunglasses on his face. It was impossible to recognize his true appearance. He could only see that he was slightly plump, wearing a shirt and trousers. He had a crew cut and two gray hairs on his temples. A man with such a physique and attire was almost everywhere in the officialdom.
Li Rui racked his brain to find an official like this in his memory, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember. It should be because he had not interacted with this person many times. But since he had not interacted with this person, why did he feel that his voice was familiar?
Just as he was worrying, a woman in a plain dress walked out of a luxury women's shoe store diagonally across the street. The woman was in her twenties. Her long hair was loose, and she had a slim figure. She was about 1.7 meters tall with high heels. Under the cover of the dress, her curves were fully displayed. Unfortunately, her looks were average. At most, it could be said that she had a "temperament". After she walked out of the store, she stood at the door and waved at the chubby man in sunglasses who came out of the bathroom. She called out, "Dad, dad, come quickly. I like this pair of shoes. Buy it for me!"
The man in sunglasses looked at his watch and said, "What's there to buy? It's not long before boarding. Don't buy it now. Wait until you come to America to work. You can buy it yourself, okay? "
The woman said coquettishly, "No, I want to buy it. Dad, even if I don't come back today, I want to buy this pair of shoes. There's still a long time before boarding. These shoes are not expensive. It's only about two thousand dollars."
The man in sunglasses sighed helplessly, "Okay, buy it, buy it. You are such a troublemaker. I really can't do anything about you. I must have owed you in my previous life!" As he complained, he had already walked in front of the woman.
The conversation between the two was quite far away, so their voices were relatively loud. Only Li Rui, who was between the two, could hear it clearly.
The woman smiled and held the arm of the man in sunglasses. She said, "I don't know if you owed me in your previous life, but you owe me in this life. Who asked you to be my father? Hehe. "
The man in sunglasses raised his hand and pinched her nose. He shook his head and said something. The father and daughter walked into the brand store together.
Li Rui walked out of the bookstore and looked around to make sure that no one was looking. He carefully walked to the entrance of the brand store. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, he spied on the man. He wanted to find an opportunity to see his face behind the sunglasses. Perhaps he would be able to recognize him.
After spying for a while, the man finally turned around. Li Rui was able to peek at the side of his face from where he was standing. He would not have known if he did not look, but when he saw it, he was shocked. This man was the executive deputy mayor of Dongzhou, Zhou Yulin, whom he had once angrily insulted.
