“Didn’t he bring his assistant and bodyguards with him?” Qiao Ranran hesitated. “Even if you go, you might not be able to pick him up. I reckon the fans have already surrounded the airport.”
“I want to give him a surprise.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Don’t show off your affection. I know that you two have a good relationship!”
Jin Nian looked up and smiled, “I think since we’ve decided to be together for the rest of our lives, we have the obligation to manage this relationship well.”
Qiao Ranran did not object to this. Looking at Jin Nian’s blissful face, Qiao Ranran had a lot of things to say, but she could not bring herself to say them.
After being classmates for many years, Qiao Ranran had a good impression of Jiang Qingchi and felt that he was indeed a good friend. However, he might not be able to do well in marriage. Although Jiang Qingchi had some achievements now and was good-looking, their relationship was like having an electronic pet, and Qiao Ranran felt that it was unfair for Jin Nian. Jiang Qingchi did not have much money in his early years. However, he worked very hard and got a scholarship from the school every year. His family almost did not have to worry about him. In the beginning, Jiang Qingchi was penniless. His studio was rented in a cramped basement, and he basically lived a life where he was living off from meal to meal. At the most difficult time, he could not even achieve the freedom of buying bread, and his family could not provide any help either. Jin Nian was the only one who stayed by Jiang Qingchi’s side and often gave him money. Fortunately, the two of them had finally come to an end. Now that Jiang Qingchi was successful and rich. There were countless female fans who liked him. He kept his promise and did not let down the person who had suffered with him.
…
It was three in the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly. The end of August in Binhai City was still hot. The heat wave carried the humidity brought by the waves, making people feel stuffy. Jin Nian went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of jasmine. She then took a taxi and headed straight to the airport. Six years had passed in a flash. The roads leading to the airport had gone from being filled with people to being filled with tall buildings. For the past six years, Jin Nian had always been standing at a place where Jiang Qingchi could see whenever he turned his head around. She had watched Jiang Qingchi become the successful person with a reputation today. Her relatives and friends all said that she had good taste and had found a potential stock. The road leading to the airport was always busy. When the driver saw Jin Nian holding the flowers, he knew that she was going to pick up her lover, so he stepped on the accelerator all the way. When the taxi stopped by the roadside of the airport, Jin Nian’s phone showed that Jiang Qingchi had just gotten off the plane. Jin Nian ran inside with the flowers in her arms. She had just come out of the wedding dress shop, and she had not had the time to change out of the high heels that she had specially worn to try on the wedding dress. She was still not used to it, and after a few steps, she was in so much pain that she could not run anymore.
From afar, Jin Nian could see the fans who were waiting for Jiang Qingchi holding up signs and gifts. It was hard not to notice them. They looked different from the tourists who were in a hurry. They were full of youth and anticipation. They had come early, waiting to see Jiang Qingchi. Jin Nian heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had made it in time. She carried the flowers and slowly walked towards the crowd. Judging from her attire, she was no different from those energetic young female fans.
Jin Nian looked obedient and pretty, she was especially eye-catching in the crowd. Her slightly raised eyes made her look like a little fox who had not experienced the world. The fans had never seen the real face of their idol’s girlfriend. Firstly, Jiang Qingchi had never publicized her photo, and secondly, she was not an insider.
Jin Nian hesitated. How should she let Jiang Qingchi see her later? She did not inform him when she came. She had planned to give him a surprise. It seemed that she could not give him a surprise now. It was fine as long as she did not scare him.
“Did he bring sister-in-law along with him this time?”
“Sister-in-law will definitely go to such an important occasion.”
“I have a friend who heard some news. He said that Director Jiang has always been accompanied by a woman. I guess she’s the sister-in-law we’ve never met before.”
“That’s right! The two of them are getting engaged tomorrow. They definitely have to stick together at this time!”
“I am so jealous. I’ve never thought that I could see something so sweet!”
“Director Jiang has protected sister-in-law very well. No photos of sister-in-law have been leaked for so many years. Let’s not take photos of sister-in-law’s face later. Don’t disturb the couple.”
“I know! Don’t worry!”
Jin Nian listened to the discussions in the crowd and felt uneasy. There were too many people. Jin Nian did not expect Jiang Qingchi to be so popular. She suddenly sighed with emotion. Jiang Qingchi, this gold, had finally shone and become an existence that everyone looked up to. She was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
