Chapter 079: Looking at the stars

She let go of his hand, causing Ouyang Que to feel extremely disappointed. He knew that the woman in front of him was not his dead girlfriend, but the way she frowned and smiled was extremely similar. His heart felt alive again because of her. He knew that he had fallen in love with this mysterious woman.

Su Mianmian could not stand the way he looked at her. Or the emotion that was revealed from the depths of his eyes. That kind of infatuation and intoxication, and that kind of gaze, did not belong to her at all. It belonged to the woman who looked very similar to her.

"Ouyang Que, although I saved you, you don't have to look at me with that kind of gaze. You have to repay the person who saved your life. It's very simple. Treat me to a meal. " She tried to divert Ouyang Que's gaze and coughed awkwardly.

Ouyang Que knew that he had been rude. How long had it been since he had liked someone so much? Ever since his girlfriend died, he had always been pure and ascetic. He rarely touched women, but today, he felt so distracted by her. It was really detrimental to his identity.

"Miss Su, what do you want to eat?" He returned to his previous sunny smile and felt happy that he had recovered. The heavens must have felt pity for him, so they sent her to his side again. It must be like this.

Su Mianmian did not want to make things difficult for him, but she wanted to eat fish. She did not know if fishing could be done around here.

He had not found Su Mianmian. Lu Xiangdong sat in his office in a daze all day.

The assistant came in several times and saw him with this expression.

After closing the door, the assistant shook his head and walked over.

"CEO Lu, Stewardess Su hasn't come to work for a day."

Lu Xiangdong raised his head and looked at the assistant. He walked to the window and crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes were like pools, there was a trace of indifference hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"I understand."

Su Mianmian seemed to have suddenly disappeared. No matter how many people he sent to look for her, he found no trace of her. At first, he was worried that she had fallen into the hands of the Li father and son. After thinking about it, he knew that if she really had fallen into the hands of the Li father and son, he would have noticed. Therefore, this possibility was eliminated by him.

"Did you handle the things I asked you to do?"

"As CEO Lu expected, the Li father and son's plan was foiled. It was a great blow. It will probably take some time for them to recover. We can use this time to wipe them out completely so that we can get rid of the future trouble."

What the assistant said was exactly what he had thought. If the Li father and son were not eliminated soon, he would not feel at ease. When the company slowly stabilized, he wanted to continue his dream.

"Alright, everything will go according to plan. Let's finish this as soon as possible."

"Yes, CEO Lu. Then I'll go out to handle some matters first."

As the office door closed again, Lu Xiangdong let go of his hands that were crossed in front of his chest. He picked up the phone on his desk and walked out of the office.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Qi Chuyan walked towards him.

"Brother Xiangdong, where are you going? You haven't recovered yet. The doctor told you to rest."

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her and told her to go to work. He had something to do and needed to go out.

She grabbed his arm and shook her head. "I'll go with you."

She had expected him to go out alone to look for Su Mianmian and she was worried about his safety.

"Qi Chuyan, I'm not a child. Can you not follow me?" He gently pulled her hands away, took a step back, and turned around to walk away from her.

* * * * * * *

Su Mianmian did not want to go to work. Instead, she stayed here to roast fish. Although she looked comfortable, she felt empty. She liked to live a fulfilling life. The reason why she joined the NEPC International Airlines was because she would be free. The sky was vast. She could fly as she pleased.

Ouyang Que saw her troubled look and asked with a smile, "Are you homesick?"

"I don't have a home, so why would I be homesick?" She lowered her head and took a bite of the grilled fish, not letting him see her depressed mood.

He felt heartache when she said, "I don't have a home. " He reached out to hold her. "If you want a home, I'll give you a home."

Su Mianmian looked at him. She was afraid that she could not afford the home he gave her. She had not divorced Lu Xiangdong, she and Lu Xiangdong were still husband and wife. She was not tempted to be with him.

"Ouyang Que, I have to say that you are very popular with girls, but not all girls will like you. At least, I don't have that kind of idea about you." She withdrew her hand and continued to eat her grilled fish. Love was not as important as food and clothing. If she could not even fill her stomach, what was the use of love?

This rejection made him feel sad. Ever since he was young, he had always been surrounded by countless girls. Besides his dead girlfriend, no other woman could make him feel so seriously.

"Then what kind of man do you like? What should I do to make you fall in love with me?" He truly wanted to be with her and never leave her.

Su Mianmian lost her appetite because of his words. What kind of man did she like?

"Love has no principles. When you really like someone, you will be very concerned about his every move, including every word he says."

It seemed to Ouyang Que that she already liked someone else. "You have someone you like?"

Su Mianmian was silent for a moment before she suddenly smiled and said, "At your age, if you don't have someone you like, you'll laugh your head off. You won't believe it either, right?"

Ouyang Que's heart sank.

He looked at her seriously and said, "No matter who you liked in the past, I don't care. That's because you haven't met me yet. Now that you've met me, you can't like other people anymore."

The corner of Su Mianmian's mouth twitched. She wasn't familiar with him. Why did he ask her so much? It was baffling.

"Mianmian, are you full? I'll take you to the island to see the stars." He extended a hand to her.

Su Mianmian was stunned for a moment. He had called her Mianmian. Other than her dead mother, no one had ever called her so intimately, not even Lu Xiangdong.

"Come on! I'll take you to see the stars."

Su Mianmian stretched out her hand in a daze. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the ground. Then, he brought her to run forward happily.

The wind blew against her face and woke her up. She felt the warmth of his palm. Su Mianmian took a deep breath. His hand gave her a sense of satisfaction and security. In the darkness, she felt that she wanted to rely on him.

"We're here. It's the only island here." He turned around to give her a gentle smile.

She let go of his hand, their fingers had been interlocked. She covered her face and came to a rock. She looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky and felt a sudden sense of relief.

"There's another world! It would be great if I could set up a tent or something here." She smiled and turned back, suddenly realizing that there was no one behind her.

Where did he go?

"The tent you asked for is here." He got a tent out of nowhere and appeared in front of her, waving his hands and feet.

"Amazing, where did you get it?"

"Guess we'll sleep here tonight. We can see the bright red dawn tomorrow morning." He neatly set up the tent, then stood in front and clapped his hands.

"You planned this all along, didn't you?"

"Planned what? To watch the stars with you?" Ouyang Que quickly raised his hand. "I'm a gentleman, I won't act recklessly."

Su Mianmian was actually joking with him. A man like him who was infatuated with her was really rare in this world.

"How's the signal here?" she asked him.

"The signal is pretty good. Why? Do you want to make a call?"

If she hadn't lost her phone, would she have received a call from Lu Xiangdong?

"No."

Her face was clearly written with worry, but he said nothing. Ouyang Que is not stupid.

"I'll watch the stars with you until the wee hours."

"Yes."

... ... ...

It was already broad daylight outside when she woke. She sat up and saw he was standing outside the tent.

She tidied her clothes and walked out of the tent.

"Hi, good morning."

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" He turned his head and smiled brightly.

Su Mianmian smiled faintly and said, "What do you do for a living? You don't have to go to work for a few days?"

"I work freely. There's no time limit."

Su Mianmian had some doubts about this, but she did not voice them. Perhaps he had inherited wealth and did not have to do anything since he were born. He could live such an easy and happy life every day.

"I guess many people envy your life. You have no restrictions and live an easy life." She picked up a stone and threw it into the sea.

He copied her and threw the stone into the sea.

"There's nothing to be envious of. Everyone has their own life."

"Yes, everyone has their own life."

The sudden ringtone of his phone disturbed the peace. Ouyang Que looked at the incoming call and smiled. "Well, I just rested for a few days and I already have a mission."

Su Mianmian glanced at him. "You want to go back to work, right?"

"Yes, are you interested in leaving here with me?" He didn't want to separate from her. He was afraid that once they separated, it would be difficult to see her again. He had a premonition that she would definitely not let him find her.

"You go to work. Why should I follow you? I don't know what you do."

"With your intelligence and wisdom, I believe that you will definitely be able to do it."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I've already decided to leave this place tomorrow." Staying here was nothing but boring. It was better to go back and look for work.
