Chapter 390: Chapter 390: In This World, I Only Fear You (9)

By the time Gu’s mother reached the airport, she learned what her too-rich son-in-law had been up to.

"What did you say to my mom yesterday?" Gu Nuan sneakily asked her own big white dog, noticing her mother’s surprise and confusion upon arriving at the airport.

The big white dog without hesitation replied, "I told your mom that I canceled her ticket and would buy her another one tomorrow."

"She was taking a long-distance bus, and you changed it to a plane ticket?"

"Long-distance buses aren’t safe, and the journey is long. How could I possibly let my mother-in-law take such a dangerous and painful mode of transport?"

"The issue is, the airport on our side is very far from our home—"

"No problem, after your mom gets off the plane, I’ve arranged for someone to pick her up there. By highway, it’s only two hours to home." As he spoke, Yebai stressed the car he had sent, "I dispatched my BMW jet, definitely much more comfortable than a long-haul bus. Mom will be very comfortable, just like flying."

"We’ve never had a BMW visit our home—"

"It’s okay, let her get off near your home, nobody will know. Mom should be as low-key as the Empress Dowager visiting the people, I understand."

Her mom had never been the Empress Dowager, okay?

With her son-in-law arranging everything so fervently and earnestly, Gu’s mother couldn’t just throw cold water on him. She could only turn around and reluctantly say to her daughter, "Never mind, Yebai means well. Besides, I have never even flown on a plane before."

"Mom, don’t indulge him—" Gu Nuan kindly reminded her mother, for this big white dog would only grow more conceited the more he was pampered.

Gu’s mother didn’t mind at all. Having boarded the plane this time, could it be that next time her son-in-law would arrange a spaceship to take her?

"All right, I’m leaving. You two take care of each other. If you can’t stand it here, come back to your hometown. Your dad and I have got your backs," Gu’s mother said.

Wow! This mother-in-law was so great! Keeping her own home’s door always open for him to stay whenever he liked.

The big white dog nodded happily, "Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely stay at your home."

Gu Nuan really wanted to kick him.

As expected, he was becoming conceited. Once he got to her home, he’d spend every day with her dad reading comics, what then?

Gu’s mother’s face was full of smiles, as if a big weight had been lifted from her heart, and she cheerfully boarded the plane arranged by her son-in-law, flying straight home.

The person was gone, leaving Gu Nuan silently enduring some inner disappointment.

Suddenly, a hand reached out beside her, grabbing hold of her hand.

"Let’s go," Xiao Yebai said, "Mom said that we should hold hands and go home together."

Her mom would never say such a kindergarten-level line about holding hands, Gu Nuan felt helpless.

His hand holding hers, they walked through the airport, a first-time feeling. Some glances from passersby were directed their way, all looking at him.

Handsomely tall, a charming guy, as if glowing with golden light.

Gu Nuan, being not very tall herself, had to tilt her head up to look at him.

Compared to him, did she feel inferior? Not really, it was more about feeling uncomfortable with people watching them holding hands.

They were a married couple now.

This feeling would surface in her heart from time to time. She and this man from two different worlds were truly a married couple, unbelievably so.

Her heart thumped persistently.

When they reached the airport entrance, a person was standing there.

Gu Nuan recognized the middle-aged man’s familiar face; after a moment’s thought, she remembered him: the Xiao Family’s butler.

"Young Master," the butler approached and respectfully said to Xiao Yebai.

Xiao Yebai responded in his typically aloof voice, "What is it?"

"The chairman has asked for the young master to come to the company for a moment," the butler said.

"Now?"

"Yes. Actually, the chairman was trying to contact the young master since yesterday, but since the young master wasn’t answering the home phone. So, he had to—"

"He had no choice but to have you tail me here, right?" Xiao Yebai yawned out of boredom, "Okay, since my wife has to go to work anyway, I’ll take her there and swing by to see what the old man wants."

The butler nodded, his glance swiftly passing over Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan acted as if she heard nothing.

The couple got into the car and headed straight for Changda.

Since most people at the company were still unaware of their marriage, the windows were covered with privacy shades. Yebai didn’t want to do this, but since his wife insisted, he let it go.

At this juncture, less trouble, the better, Gu Nuan thought.

The car drove directly into the parking garage beneath the company building assigned to him. Gu Nuan followed him out of the car and was about to go her own way when suddenly his hand caught hers, prompting her to look back at him.

"Go that way," he said to her, pointing to the private elevator next to them.

Zang Xiaolian came up, responsible for showing her the way to go.

Gu Nuan was about to say they could just use the regular elevator when she caught sight of the surrounding garages following his gaze. This area was reserved for company directors and above; if she exited from here and was seen by people from the company, it would be inappropriate.

Seeing her take the elevator, Xiao Yebai adjusted his collar and glanced at the butler beside him, asking, "Alright, what’s the old man up to now?"

"The chairman has called an emergency board meeting," the butler replied.
