Chapter 376: 381: Come Pick Me Up at the Airport!
On Sunday, Gu Qingxin received a call from an unfamiliar number. She answered it with suspicion, and a magnetic male voice came through.
“Meet me at the airport at eight tonight!”
Beiming Han said just one sentence and then hung up. Gu Qingxin stared at the words ‘call ended’ on her phone screen. He wanted her to pick him up at the airport?
Beiming Han often traveled for work, but except for the time when he took her with him, he had never asked her to pick him up at the airport before.
“Qingxin, who was that?” Lin Yin asked.
“Oh, a friend. Mom, I’ve sold all the flowers, I’ll clean up the rest. You can go home first.”
“All right then, I’ll go home. What do you want for dinner? I’ll make it for you.”
“I might not come home for dinner, just eat by yourself.”
“Okay then, take care.”
“You too, be safe on the road.”
After Lin Yin left, Gu Qingxin cleaned up the remaining stems in the flower shop and threw them into the trash. She locked the flower shop’s door and hastily left.
As soon as Gu Qingxin left the flower shop, two men came out from the shadows, their eyes fixed on her retreating figure.
Gu Qingxin felt like she was being followed, but when she turned around, she didn’t notice anything unusual.
The driver from the North Garden arrived on time to pick her up. Gu Qingxin got in the car, glanced outside the window a few more times, and wondered if it was her fatigue creating illusions.
Since it was still early for the pick-up time, Gu Qingxin went back to North Garden. She took a bath and put on a pink dress from the wardrobe on the third floor.
The last time she saw Beiming Han was at noon on the day Mrs. Bai had surgery, when he made a special trip to deliver her dinner.
After such a long time apart, she felt inexplicably nervous and eager.
When it was time, she got in the car and rushed to the airport.
The car stopped outside the airport. The driver opened the door for her, and Gu Qingxin was a little stunned as she stood at the entrance of the airport.
The pick-up area was completely dark, there wasn’t even a single staff member!
Gu Qingxin took out her phone, intending to call Beiming Han. The automatic glass doors in front of her suddenly opened.
Gu Qingxin put down her phone, and looked inside. The next moment, the pitch-black arrival hall suddenly revealed a dazzling starlit walkway…
Tri-colored lights in pink, purple, and blue projected a heart-shaped pathway in the middle of the hallway extending to an exit on the opposite side…
Gu Qingxin slowly lowered her hand holding the phone, her gaze falling on the end of the lighted corridor. The next second, a tall figure appeared at the end…
Gu Qingxin’s heart skipped a beat…
A soft English song reminiscent of love began to play…
Gu Qingxin looked at the man at the end of the light, and like a spell had been cast on her, she uncontrollably lifted her foot and walked towards him…
Beiming Han was still wearing a black suit. He watched the young girl stepping on hearts, walking towards him. She was dazzling under the lights, and his heart rate followed a different rhythm…
Step by step, he walked towards her, and she walked towards him…
They stared intently at each other, as if they were engraving each other’s figure deeply into their hearts…
In the end, they met in the middle of the heart-shaped walkway.
Gu Qingxin looked up at the man in front of her with her small face, her lips slightly parted, trying to say something, but she was at a loss for words…
Her waist was trapped by two large hands, and Beiming Han bent down to kiss her lips…
