Chapter 26
Didn’t Even Look Straight At Her
Wen Qiao nodded. “Mm. He’s not as tall or handsome as you. On top of that he treats me terribly. I must have been blind. Ever since you appeared, you’re the only one in my eyes and my heart. You’re the only one in my life.”
Oh heavens, would she be struck by lightning for fabricating lies every day?
She spoke slowly, and the way she looked into his eyes was sincere and solemn. It was a face that one just couldn’t be guarded against.
Finally, Fu Nanli replied softly with a hum.
Wen Qiao then said in a soft and delicate voice, “Everyone has a past, don’t they?”
Fu Nanli, “…”
Not him. He remembered being focused on his aviation career, and likely didn’t have any dating history.
How could a 19 year-old high school student defeat him in terms of relationship experience? If he told her this, that young lass might ridicule him. As such, he could only feign indifference and respond with another ‘mm’.
Wen Qiao then said in an aggrieved tone, “With so many girls fancying you, there might be countless people coming out to smear my name in the future. You said that you’ll only believe in me. You can’t… go back on your word.”
She was 19 anyway, the best age to wheedle and act shamelessly. Plus with that face of hers, she should be quite invincible.
Breathing slightly heavily, Fu Nanli clutched her hand tightly. “Mm.”
A knock on the door sounded, following which Xu Shen and Zhao Yuan entered together. Greeted by that emotionless face again, Xu Shen had a feeling their arrival was untimely.
“Captain, our entire crew had just finished flying to and from Munich, so we came by to visit you.”
Wen Qiao edged close to his ear and whispered, “You’re not angry anymore, right?”
With her breath in his ear, Fu Nanli felt his breathing get messed up. Though he didn’t speak, his countenance was no longer terrible.
Getting better at reading someone from their body language, Wen Qiao retracted her hand. “Then I’ll get going first.”
Perhaps they needed to discuss some work matters, and it could involve confidential aviation stuff, making it inconvenient for an outsider like her to be around.
As she passed by the door, she saw five to six air stewardesses with pretty faces and exquisite makeup. They were still in their uniform probably because they didn’t have the chance to change out of it yet. Also, there were two tall and well-built captains.
As she brushed shoulders with the most striking one out of them all, that girl turned her head and took a second glance at her. Pulling Zhao Yuan, she asked in a hushed voice, “Sister Yuan, who is she?”
Zhao Yuan replied softly, “Captain’s girlfriend.”
He Qian’s expression darkened and her fingertips trembled, her smile turning stiff. “What kind of a joke is this? How is it possible that our captain has a girlfriend?”
Zhao Yuan placed an index finger at the side of her lips. “Let’s not discuss personal matters yet. Xu Shen needs to report the flight conditions for this trip. The Captain’s getting back to work after he fully recovers.”
Xu Shen reported: “Currently there are 72 flights between Dongpu Airport and Munich a day, and four of them are direct flights. Because you’re injured and on a hiatus from work, some of those flights were distributed to other airlines. At present our Team A are split between Teams B to F, and we’ll come back together as a team after you’ve fully recovered, Captain. The Aviation Administration stipulates that you need to be co-pilot for a month following your return. When that time comes, your captain will be Captain Cheng, and he’ll assess if you’re fit to resume flying.”
Fu Nanli nodded. “Got it.”
“That’s all for work. Everyone is very worried about you, so right after we landed we’ve all come to visit you.”
Fu Nanli said with indifference, “There’s nothing to be worried about. I even went to watch my girlfriend’s performance this afternoon. All of you should go back and rest.”
He Qian walked over with a bouquet of flowers. “Captain, here’s to wishing you a speedy recovery.”
After a glance, Fu Nanli sounded completely disinterested. “Just leave it there.”
He didn’t even look directly at her when he spoke.
