Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat!
After An Long heard Feng Lingdu’s words, he looked at the seat next to him and discovered that the woman sitting next to Feng Lingdu was actually the same woman he had met in the mountains. He was quite surprised; could this be any more coincidental?
When the woman in white saw Li Wenya, she frowned and coldly said, “Are you stalking me?”
“Sorry, beautiful, I’m not stalking you. We’re both heading to the northwest to meet a friend, you’re overthinking it!” Feng Lingdu shook his head, smiling charmingly as he spoke.
The woman looked at Feng Lingdu with suspicion; wasn’t this just a little too coincidental?
Feng Lingdu simply sat down and then looked at the woman in white, saying, “Miss, it seems we have quite the fate!”
Seated in front of Feng Lingdu, An Long suppressed a laugh. “You damned fool, you just say you have fate with any pretty girl you see.”
The woman in white turned away, looking out the window.
In business class, each person typically had an independent seat, so even if their seat numbers were consecutive, they wouldn’t be sitting together.
Feng Lingdu glanced at the woman in white, then at his own seat, and muttered, “Who designed the business class like this? It really distances people.”
The flight attendant passing by was surprised when she heard Feng Lingdu’s comment. But when she saw the woman in white across from Feng Lingdu, she instantly understood and smiled before walking away.
“Lovely miss, what’s making you smile?” questioned Feng Lingdu with a grin, noticing her subtle laughter.
The flight attendant quickly shook her head, saying, “Oh, nothing, sir!”
“Could you please pour two cups of tea for me?” Feng Lingdu asked again.
The flight attendant nodded, saying, “Sure, one moment!”
Soon, she returned with two cups of tea. After leaving one for himself, Feng Lingdu said to the flight attendant, “Could you please give the other one to the lady over there?”
“Certainly, sir!” The flight attendant smiled, nodding, assuming that Feng Lingdu and the woman knew each other, and naturally walked over.
Sitting in front, An Long chuckled as he turned to Feng Lingdu, saying, “I thought the other cup was for me!”
“Can’t you get it yourself? The tea is free on the plane,” Feng Lingdu replied casually.
An Long snorted in response. “A toad lusting after swan meat!”
“Don’t you know that swans usually fall prey to toads?” Feng Lingdu retorted with a smirk.
After the flight attendant placed the tea at the woman’s seat, she looked at the tea, puzzled, and said, “I don’t recall asking for tea!”
“The gentleman next to you ordered it for you!” The flight attendant responded with a polite smile.
The woman nodded and said, “Thank you!”
After the flight attendant left, the woman turned to Feng Lingdu and said, “Do you do this often?”
“Do what?” Feng Lingdu asked, looking perplexed.
“Use free things to curry favor,” the woman replied flatly.
Feng Lingdu laughed, saying, “No, no, no, I offer sincerity, not flattery!”
The woman in white turned her head, ignoring Feng Lingdu.
Hearing Feng Lingdu’s words, An Long finally couldn’t hold back. He turned back to Feng Lingdu and said, “Could you stop being so disgusting?”
Feng Lingdu shot a glance at An Long, “Just go sit somewhere else.”
Seeing that the woman wasn’t paying attention to him, Feng Lingdu lost interest and put on a sleep mask, falling asleep.
After several hours of flying, the plane landed smoothly at Beijiang Airport.
Once they exited the airport, Feng Lingdu stretched lazily, saying, “I wonder what Qin Han is up to now?”
“You’ll know once we get there,” An Long replied.
They chatted as they reached the pickup area. Seeing Feng Lingdu heading towards a car, An Long asked in surprise, “You have someone from the Gate of Life and Death here in Beijiang?”
“Dude, it’s a ride-share car. Don’t you use your phone?” Feng Lingdu rolled his eyes.
Just after speaking, Feng Lingdu’s eyes lit up as he hurried over. The woman in white was standing by the roadside, waiting for a car.
She rarely left the mountain and came secretly this time, so she hadn’t informed the Nangong family in Beijiang for a pickup.
“Miss, what a coincidence!” Feng Lingdu said, smiling.
Though she didn’t turn her head on hearing Feng Lingdu, a look of annoyance flashed across her face.
“I called for a car. Need a ride? Right now, it’s tough to find a car without prior booking!” Feng Lingdu continued.
The woman glanced at the sky, then turned, saying, “Give me a lift to the city center, and I’ll pay you!”
“Talking about money hurts feelings,” Feng Lingdu laughed. “Come on, my car is over there.”
They walked to the ride-share car Feng Lingdu had booked, and he opened the car door with a gesture he thought was suave for the woman.
But she just climbed into the front seat. An Long smirked and sat down at the door Feng Lingdu opened, saying, “Thanks!”
“You…” Feng Lingdu was speechless, “Made me open the door for you?”
An Long ignored him, leaning back in the seat and pretending to sleep.
Feng Lingdu had no choice but to get in from the other side.
In the car, Feng Lingdu asked, “Miss, since we know each other now, my name is Feng Lingdu. What’s yours?”
“Nangong Jirou,” the woman replied flatly.
Hearing her name, everyone in the car froze. The driver was surprised by the name, so unique as if she belonged to a different time.
Feng Lingdu and An Long looked at her oddly. Feng Lingdu, with a wry smile, said, “So, Miss Ji Rou, you’re not from the Nangong family?”
“I am indeed not from the Nangong family,” Nangong Jirou said calmly.
Feng Lingdu looked at her as if to say, “Who are you fooling?” and asked, “So, Miss Ji Rou, what’s your business in Beijiang?”
She just gazed out the window, seemingly uninterested in answering.
Feng Lingdu, feeling awkward, didn’t press further.
He found the woman interesting, but not to the point of becoming a sycophant.
Surprised that Feng Lingdu was silent, the woman first appeared startled, then relieved. The world was finally quieter.
Soon the car arrived in the city. The woman pointed to the roadside, saying, “Just stop here!”
“Here’s the fare!” She left several hundred-yuan bills on the front seat and got out.
“Quite the character!” Feng Lingdu remarked with a smirk.
Watching her through the rearview mirror, An Long said softly, “Do you think she’s from the Nangong family?”
“Need you ask? Definitely!” Feng Lingdu replied, “Forget it, maybe another time!”
