Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Sleeping An Nan (2)

Xi Shaoqi was almost desperate to crawl through the phone.

An Nan smiled slightly on the other end of the call, continuing to comfort through the phone, "It’s okay, I have a flight today, returning in five days, how about we have dinner together then?"

"Sure, sure, last time you said you wanted Japanese food, I recently found a great place, let’s go eat there then."

"Yeah, you should also drink less in the future, okay?"

"Got it." Xi Shaoqi agreed somewhat guiltily, given his status, things weren’t always under his control, not drinking wasn’t as simple as just choosing not to, but he’d try to drink less in the future.

"Alright, I’m boarding now."

"Okay, be safe."

"Okay."

Receiving An Nan’s call, Xi Shaoqi’s anxious mood finally settled, and the following days were exceptionally good for him, leaving everyone bewildered, not knowing what was up with Third Young Master Xi.

An Nan’s flight happened to be to the United States, and she took the opportunity to visit her son.

"How has my dear son been doing lately?" Another few months had passed without seeing each other.

Over the years, no matter how much grievance she faced outside, as long as she saw this little guy, her mood would improve immensely.

In this world, they were the closest people to each other.

Lin Jiayou, at a young age, already showed signs of maturity on his face, and in response to his mommy’s teasing, he retorted without hesitation, "Still single at your age, aren’t you planning to find someone to marry? Or do you intend to hang on to me forever?"

Although he didn’t mind accompanying her forever, he still wanted her to find her own happiness. He knew better than anyone else that it was because of him that she gave up her own happiness. They had argued about this countless times, and she always used waiting for him to grow up as an excuse. Back then, he was powerless to rebel, but now it was different; he had grown up and naturally wouldn’t allow her to stay alone anymore.

"An Nan, I’m going back to study high school next semester." The tone was not one of negotiation, but of certainty.

"Why?" There was not a shred of surprise in the voice.

"We should go back eventually, right? You’re just a few months away from your 28th birthday."

The atmosphere between the two turned tense suddenly, and after a long while, An Jiayou finally heard a faint voice from the other side, "Then why do you want to attend high school?"

The latter’s voice came without hesitation, "Because I want to grow up quickly."

Once grown, he could protect his mommy; once grown, he could take on the responsibilities that were his, allowing his mommy to freely seek her own happiness, rather than always being burdened because of him. That home shouldn’t be solely her responsibility.

Two days later, the plane smoothly arrived at B City International Airport.

Just off the plane, as she turned on her phone, the sound of messages came trickling in. An Nan lowered her eyes and, dressed in a smart pilot uniform, walked through the airport, catching the attention of many passersby.

Some passengers had already gathered, discussing excitedly, "Wasn’t that a female pilot just now? So handsome, so handsome."

The excited voice came from a young girl, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at An Nan’s departing back with envy, even beginning to imagine herself one day donning a pilot’s uniform, strutting handsomely through the airport with luggage in tow.

"Yeah, yeah, really so handsome." Handsome enough to make even men feel inferior.

Some passengers had already recognized An Nan, clarifying everyone’s doubts, "That’s the only female captain of Vince Airlines. I heard she’s only 28 this year, height 172, weight..."
