“Ladies and gentlemen, flight CF4239 from Hong Kong will be landing soon. Passengers who pick up friends and relatives please wait at the arrival area. Thank you.”
Venus Mu’s heart began to beat faster. He’s coming.
Several minutes later, people began to walk out. Venus stared at every man that came out, afraid to miss the one she’d been waiting. Not him, not him, and not him again...
When most of the people had come out, several men showed up at the corner, with a tall and handsome man walking in front. He was walking while talking to the man beside him. His every move looked so gentle.
Venus recognized him. He was Xuan Chu.
Actually, you don’t have to try hard to find him. That man’s like a ray of light. He would be the center wherever he goes.
He’s shining bright like a diamond!
Venus couldn’t move her eyes away from him. She should’ve called him “Brother”, but she couldn’t make a sound due to excitement.
Brother, her only brother that she had had for twenty years.
Xuan looked up and saw her, too. He showed a smile, strode over and stopped in front of her. Before she could say anything, Xuan reached out his hand and tapped her forehead with his finger and said happily, “Yan, you silly girl! Are you too happy to call me ‘Brother’?”
Venus somehow felt so relieved. She said, “Brother, don’t knock at my forehead! It will make me dumb!”
Xuan laughed, “Look at you. You are so cute and silly! I wonder how you could take care of the business in Sky City.”
“Am I that bad? Besides, it’s not what I am good at. It’s natural that I don’t understand things sometimes. Unlike you, you have been learning to do business with dad since you were little.” Venus said half jokingly. This Xuan knew her tricks, and wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
Kerry Ye had seen it all that had been said and done between the brother and sister, and felt nothing strange. In other people’s eyes, they were just close brother and sister.
Finally, Xuan’s eyes fell on Kerry who had been standing behind Yan. With some mysterious smile in his eyes, Xuan asked, “Yan, who’s this man?”
“Ah, he’s the director of the Yehuang Group, Kerry Ye.”
Xuan reached out his hand and said, “Director Ye you are! My father and Director Tang mentioned you all the time! You are indeed young and capable!” He said gently as if he had heard Kerry’s big name before.
Kerry shook hands with him with politeness then let go. “Thank you. You are capable, too. I heard it was you who recommended the amusement park project to your father Mr Chu. You’ve got sharp eyes!”
“Yes? You know what, I agree with you!” Xuan showed no humbleness at all. He accepted all the compliments from Kerry. “Thanks for coming to meet me in person.”
“The MK Group is our most important partner at present. You are the chairman, so I should be here in person.” Kerry said neither too humbly nor too proudly.
“Ha ha ha! You are a smart talker!” Xuan said. Then he wrapped his arm around Venus’s shoulder and said naturally, “Let’s go to the hotel. I am starving! The plane food is so terrible!”
Yan was at first a little shocked when Xuan touched her, but then she recovered herself and walked together with Xuan like this toward the exit. She didn’t push away his arm.
Kerry took a glanced at that arm and hummed coldly. He’s feeling extremely unhappy.
There were two cars. Yan and Xuan were sitting in Kerry’s car.
“Brother, will you stay in the hotel these days?” Venus slightly moved away from Xuan without being noticed.
Xuan was watching the scenery outside. Then he turned around and said, “Yes. I am only staying for two for three months. Should I buy a house? I don’t think so.”
Two or three months? He said he would only stay for half a month!
Why did he change his mind?
What’s he up to?
Venus got nervous thinking of this.
Kerry was chocked by Xuan’s words. Did he just turn down his kindness? Well, he could care less about Xuan. But he didn’t want Yan to leave. After all, he had just had a taste of her the night before...
“Brother, are you sure you want me to stay in the hotel too?” Venus emphasize each word, hoping he could understand her. But this guy ignored her directly and said seriously, “I am sure. We are staying in the hotel. I will be living next to you. I’ll see which dumb ass dare hurt you!”
Venus was speechless. Well, he’s her brother now, so she had to obey him, so as not to embarrass him. She could ask him about this when they should be alone.
“Well, then...” Venus patted Kerry on the shoulder and said, “Kerry, drop by your villa ad let me fetch my things.”
Kerry bit his lips and hummed coldly. When he looked into the mirror, he saw Xuan’s smile.
The smile was weird.
When they got to the villa, Venus went up to pack her things up while Xuan and Kerry were talking in front of the car.
“May I ask, if the amusement park project will be yours when you are here?” Kerry took out a cigarette and handed it to Xuan and found a lighter and lighted the cigarettes for both of them.
Xuan smoked hard, spat out the smoke circle then smiled, “I could care less. It’s Yan’s project and she is the person in charge. I am just here to supervise her to make sure she works hard.”
Xuan was a mysterious man. Now that there was thick cigarette smoke between them, Kerry found it harder to see through this man.
Not knowing what Xuan’s up to, Kerry did not buy his words. But he wouldn’t ask since Xuan wouldn’t tell.
“I have arranged a welcome party for you tonight. It’s my honor.” To know why he came to the Sky City, Kerry had to know Xuan first.
Xuan spat another smoke circle. He didn’t seem to appreciate Kerry’s kindness. “Mr Ye, I am tired from the whole day’s flight. I want to rest early. What about this, I’ll treat you tomorrow to show our gratitude for your saving Yan.”
Kerry paused then said, “Anytime that suits you. You are the guest!”
