Chapter 63: Chapter 063 A Romantic Encounter... You really dare to think, aren’t you afraid of running into a pervert?

The grievances of the entire day finally found an outlet at this moment and poured out recklessly.

Lu Jinghan was about to get out of the car, but seeing someone coming out of the house, his hand that had opened the car door pulled back.

"Xiao Xi, why are you squatting on the ground?" Uncle Zhang asked worriedly.

Han Xi wiped the tears from her face before looking up, her voice choked: "I was just scared by a stray cat. Uncle Zhang, why haven’t you gone to rest yet?"

Uncle Zhang helped Han Xi up from the ground, chuckling: "Madam said you’d be staying over tonight, so I waited for you to arrive before resting. She even told me to save some food for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, but I’ve already eaten. Have Auntie and the others gone to bed?" Han Xi entered the house with Uncle Zhang.

"Madam and the others have already gone to bed."

"Okay, then you should go to rest soon as well."

"Alright."

After returning to her room, Han Xi took a warm shower in the bathroom and changed into a set of pajamas she got from the wardrobe.

Since she sometimes stays over, Han Xi has a set of clothes and toiletries here.

Lying on the bed and unable to sleep, a WeChat message from Chu Ci came in: [The plane lands tomorrow morning, you both must come to pick me up.]

Li Manman [You’ve got to be kidding me, I just arrived in Bali, and you’re already coming back.]

Chu Ci [I only have a few days off, so fly back immediately.]

Li Manman [I haven’t even had a chance for a romantic encounter yet; I brought so many bikinis.]

Han Xi [I’m free to pick up the plane tomorrow.]

Chu Ci [Our Xiao Xi is always reliable. Someone, hurry back. Am I less desirable than those sleazy guys? A romantic encounter... you really dare to think, aren’t you afraid of perverts.]

Li Manman [.....]

Early the next morning, Han Xi took a leave from the hospital and drove to the airport after breakfast.

At the airport, Han Xi sent her location to Chu Ci. Just as she was about to get out of the car, her phone started ringing. Looking at the flashing screen, she hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

"Xiao Xi, do you have time this afternoon?"

Lu Jinghan felt like Han Xi was giving him the cold shoulder. He didn’t know why, but he wanted to talk to her.

The feeling of being ignored by this woman was really unbearable.

"My friend is coming back today, I took a leave to accompany her." Han Xi lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting on the steering wheel.

"Then let’s have lunch with your friend as well."

Lu Jinghan simply wanted to see Han Xi, even if her friend was there, he didn’t mind.

"No, we haven’t seen each other in a long time, we have much to talk about. My friend is here now, so let’s leave it at that."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Jinghan irritably unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, feeling a bit short of breath.

After hanging up, Han Xi pushed the door open and got off the car. Chu Ci and her manager Su Yan were already walking over: "Have you been waiting long?"

Han Xi smiled and hooked her arm around Chu Ci’s: "No, I just arrived a short while ago too."

Su Yan put the luggage in the trunk, then got into the car, feeling very sleepy. Chu Ci had insisted on getting a 3 a.m. flight to return as soon as possible.

Chu Ci sat in the passenger seat, took off her mask and baseball cap, and eagerly asked, "I heard from Manman that you’re finally in a relationship."

That statement... made it sound like no one wanted her.

Han Xi nodded, her hands slowly tightening around the steering wheel.

"Let’s go, tell me more about it back at your place."

"Chu Ci, I don’t want to go home, can we go to your place instead?"
