Love You Till the End-Chapter 1025 - 1024: Where Is Jue?
"Lady Quan, we have retrieved your suitcase for you." A few bodyguards dressed in black came up to her, bowing respectfully.
The woman uttered a soft "hmm," then took off her sunglasses and glanced around.
Her makeup was exquisite, with an especially high-bridged nose and a beautifully noble face.
"Where’s Jue?" She casually pushed her sunglasses onto her head, lifting the long hair from her forehead, "Why didn’t he come to the airport to pick me up?"
The bodyguards exchanged glances for a moment, then one of them stepped forward and said, "Young Master Jue has been quite busy lately, and specifically asked us to pick you up, Lady Quan. The servant has already prepared dinner and the room for you."
Though Quan Xin was a bit miffed about Shi Aoju not coming to the airport to pick her up, she understood his daily work pressures and didn’t complain further, getting into the car with the bodyguards. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Right after finishing his meeting and on the way to the parking lot, Shi Aoju received a call from Su Jiuyi.
"What’s up?"
Sitting in the car, he turned the steering wheel, changed the car’s direction, and drove out of the parking lot.
"I lazily fell asleep this afternoon, and when I woke up, the hall was particularly lively, as if someone was coming back. Who was it? Was it the madam?" Su Jiuyi deliberately lowered her voice.
Upon hearing her words, Shi Aoju remembered that today was the day Quan Xin was returning to the country. His assistant probably arranged for someone to pick her up at the airport; otherwise, with her temperament, she would likely cause a fuss.
"Of course not." He answered simply, "Just a friend."
"A friend needs such a grand reception..." Su Jiuyi stood at the room’s doorway, looking down at the hall.
Then she spoke, "The maids are lined up in two neat rows at the entrance, the lighting is elaborately set up, and the stairs are adorned with colorful ribbons. The housekeeper stands in the center of two rows of maids, holding a large bouquet of bright roses. Does this look like receiving an ordinary friend?"
Hearing her description, Shi Aoju couldn’t help but laugh.
"What?" She asked.
"This is definitely something Qin Shaobai would have them do." He patiently explained, "When they were kids, the two of them loved throwing parties together."
"Oh..." Just then, she seemed to hear a noise outside, Su Jiuyi quickly glanced out, then said, "I’ll hang up now, come back early and stay safe."
Shi Aoju found it amusing; lately, Su Jiuyi was more like a newlywed little wife, cleaning his room every day, calling him while he worked.
Especially during lunch, she would brag about sneaking a taste of some delicacy in the kitchen.
Afterward, she would ask about his return, reminding him to stay safe on the road.
The things Su Jiuyi hadn’t realized, Shi Aoju took delight in keeping in mind.
This kind of interaction, it seemed quite nice.
Quan Xin walked gracefully into the Shi Family hall, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, her angelic face and devilish figure were the perfect descriptors for her.
Such a person seemed blessed by heaven, having wealth, power, and beauty.
Unlike Qi Jingren’s prettiness, the woman before him was like a blooming, seductive rose, looking proud, with thorns all over, making it difficult for others to approach.
