Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Wife, Wait for Me (2)

Perhaps because Chen Jiaming, such a leader, was in the vehicle, the way was silent on the van, and no one spoke. Even Xiaoliu, who was usually quite talkative, became well-behaved.

Upon arriving at the airport, after passing the ticket check, Gu Nuan turned off her phone, not forgetting to send a text message to that person at home before doing so: I’ve boarded the plane.

Their destination was a key town in the west, which was rumored to be the future domestic economic growth zone, where all domestic investors were changing their directions.

Xiao Yebai drew back the curtains of his apartment and peered down at the city’s starless night and the urban lights as dazzling as stars.

The room felt cold and empty without her, and he couldn’t stay still for a moment.

That’s why he had never liked staying at home, always moving out—either living in hotels or camping outdoors.

Zang Xiaolian brought him a lunchbox; it was his favorite roast goose rice.

Seeing him motionless, she had to urge him, "Sister-in-law said you can’t skip meals. She’ll check when she gets back."

After hearing her voice, Xiao Yebai suddenly turned and walked towards the room.

Zang Xiaolian followed with a surprised look as he came out holding a pillow.

The pillow retained her scent, and holding it tightly made him feel like she hadn’t left.

Zang Xiaolian began to worry and thought about whether to make a call to Tang Sili.

At that moment, the man clutching the pillow suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Who does he think he is?"

Zang Xiaolian was startled.

Xiao Yebai turned to her and instructed, "Tell the fourth one to stay put in Changda and keep an eye on those few for me. I need to step out."

"Where is Second Brother going?" Zang Xiaolian asked.

"With your sister-in-law not around, and a spring night so unbearable, of course, I’m going to chase after your sister-in-law," Xiao Yebai said lazily, flicking his willful bangs from his forehead.

Probably only this man could make such a statement.

Zang Xiaolian went to book his plane ticket.

Xiao Yebai picked up his chopsticks, happily ate his meal and sent a text to his wife: Wait for me!

Gu Nuan dozed off on the plane. The two-hour flight was not very long; she woke still half in a dream.

The group then disembarked at their destination.

Outside the airport, there were no company cars to pick them up. Mainly because Changda hadn’t established an office here yet. There might’ve been business coming here, but it was usually sales staff from nearby regions on a business trip.

They left the airport in three taxis.

Regarding accommodations, the HR department had previously contacted a local three-star Samsung chain hotel. A three-star hotel in the city could be compared to a five-star one in a small county, which already offered a very good environment and rooms.

It was ten o’clock at night by the time a bunch of them arrived with their suitcases in the hotel lobby to check in.

Xiaoliu from HR was in charge of lodging arrangements, and evidently, this was her first time handling such a task, and she wasn’t skilled at it. She seemed to make a mistake while confirming the reserved room numbers with the hotel staff.

What had been planned as two people per room plus Chen Jiaming’s separate suite, a total of five rooms, suddenly became just three rooms.

Xiaoliu was flustered and secretly made a call back to the company to speak with Sister Cai.

Sister Cai seemed to have someone check and then identified the problem, but it was too late.

Xiaoliu handed over Sister Cai’s call to Chen Jiaming.

After communicating with Sister Cai, Chen Jiaming told everyone, "Then let’s do this. Tonight, Manager Fu will sleep in my place. The rest of you squeeze into the two rooms."
