Chapter 112: Childhood playmates

The smile on her face instantly froze. He wouldn't really cut her off from Ouyang Que, right? She and Ouyang Que were friends, and he was a good person. He had helped her a few times. She couldn't possibly be so ungrateful as to stop seeing him.

"If you can guarantee that you and Qi Chuyan will no longer interact, then I can end things with Ouyang Que."

"Can my situation with Qi Chuyan compare to yours?" His face instantly darkened.

Su Mianmian smiled. "You know that you can't cut ties with Qi Chuyan. It's the same for me and Ouyang Que. He's a good person and I treat him as my best friend. He has never done anything to insult my innocence. Why would I cut ties with such a perfect person?"

He snorted. It seemed that she regarded Ouyang que as someone special.

She treated him as her best friend, but did he treat her as his best friend?

He had seen what happened at the banquet. Ouyang Que clearly had feelings for her.

He did not see Ouyang Que in a bad light, he just did not like his woman being missed by other men.

"You can cut off your relationship with him. If he asks you out, just say that you are not free. If you want to go out, I can go out with you. Why do you have to go out with him?"

Su Mianmian finally understood; he was jealous of Ouyang Que! However, knowing that he wouldn't admit this, she decided not to expose his little scheme. She pretended to be surprised. "You have time to go out with me? You're both the captain and the president. You seem to be quite busy?"

"My job is actually very easy. When there's a flight mission, I'll hand over the company to my assistant. When there's no flight mission, I'll go back to the company to take care of it. I only fly once a week. The company can still operate as usual without me. It's just that the assistant feels that he'll be more at ease with me around."

Su Mianmian nodded.

He continued, "The company has the help of the assistant and Li Mingzhe now. Right now, with their help, I feel much more at ease."

She was stunned.

"Li Mingzhe had also joined the NEPC International Airlines?"

He knew that she would want to ask, so he told her about the last time he invited Li Mingzhe into the company.

Su Mianmian could not help but sigh at how smart he was. He was an outstanding man in all aspects. But, besides her looks, she didn't have much.

"Lu Xiangdong, you're destined to marry me! You've really been wronged," she said half-jokingly.

"A woman's laziness can be changed. I think that you can change. Give me a month's time, and I can change you into a woman who is both internally and externally cultivated."

"What do I need to be so perfect for? Just you alone is enough. If I'm perfect, I won't feel like myself."

"If you don't chose to pursue more, you'll just follow me for the rest of your life. If you follow other men, you'll be even more depraved." He stepped on the accelerator.

Su Mianmian rested her head on her hand and smiled faintly. "I'm very satisfied with my current life."

Lu Xiangdong snorted coldly. "What's there to be dissatisfied about? You have such an outstanding husband who takes care of you. You won't be able to find another like me, no matter how hard you try.''

She chuckled, but she did not argue back. It was the truth.

After stopping in front of the hotel, Lu Xiangdong took off his seatbelt. He asked himself, after coming all this way here, would she try to leave soon?

"Su Mianmian, tell me. How many times have you tried for leave in the past month?"

Su Mianmian thought seriously for a moment. "About ten times."

Lu Xiangdong was instantly defeated by her.

"This hotel is not bad. It's much better than the hotel I stayed at."

How could it be bad? The cost of a night's stay here was over a thousand.

"When are you going back?"

Lu Xiangdong thought about his schedule. He would be here for at least a month more because he had to supervise the construction progress. When the construction here was almost complete, he could leave.

She could not stay with him for that long. She could only stay here for another three days at most. After three days, she had to go back.

He nodded. When she wanted to go back, he would send her to the airport.

After taking a shower, Su Mianmian lay on the bed and played with her phone. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to plant some vegetables to pass the time. Just as she began, a text message popped up on her phone. There was no name. Su Mianmian curiously opened the message.

"Damn girl, you're going to disappear, aren't you? Are you coming back to attend my wedding banquet? I'm getting married on the 15th of this month. You must come."

Su Mianmian was stunned. The only person who called her 'damn girl' was An Xiaonai.

An Xiaonai was her neighbor. When they were young, the two of them often skipped classes to climb trees. When they returned home late at night, An Xiaonai was often chased out of the house by her parents. Su Mianmian's mother was not as violent as her mother, she was usually scolded by her mother. The two of them were playmates in their youth. An Xiaonai was as tall and beautiful as her. After graduating from university, the two of them chose different jobs because they had achieved different majors. After Su Mianmian's mother passed away, she moved out of her hometown. It had been many years since she had contacted An Xiaonai. Su Mianmian was still shocked. How did she get her phone number?

Lu Xiangdong came out of the bathroom and saw that she was staring at her phone in a daze. "Who sent the text message?"

"Someone who grew up playing with me. She said that she's getting married and wants me to attend her wedding banquet. It's the 15th of this month, which is only a few days away."

He could never disagree with her when she looked that excited. He smiled and said, "Then, aren't you one step ahead of her?"

"Huh?"

"What I mean is, you got married before her."

"Oh, but I really want to go to the wedding to see what kind of man a naughty girl like her will marry." He sat next to her, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Rather than envy other people's husbands, why don't you cherish your current husband? I'm pretty good to you too."

Su Mianmian pinched his face. She was really shameless.

"I'll ask her where their wedding will be held." Su Mianmian picked up her phone to ask for their wedding address.

He told her to go to the bathroom to dry her hair.

"An Xiaonai, where are you having your wedding?"

"At the hotel. Are you coming?"

"Of course I'm coming. Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

After their brief chat, Su Mianmian sat down on the bed, satisfied with herself. She couldn't help but sigh at how time passed by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, her childhood playmate was getting married!

An Xiaonai asked her to bring her boyfriend or husband to her wedding. Su Mianmian lied that she didn't have a boyfriend.

She laughed at Su Mianmian. "No way! Our Miss Su is still single? Are those men blind? Don't worry, I'll get my husband to introduce you to someone."

Su Mianmian took this as a joke. After all, they had been friends since they were young, they often joked with one another.

When Su Mianmian showed the messages to Lu Xiangdong, Lu Xiangdong's lips curled up. He flipped through his newspaper and said very calmly, "Just tell her that you're married."

She wouldn't say that she was married.

"I'll return to the mainland tomorrow and attend her wedding the day after then." Su Mianmian had originally wanted to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, but she had no choice but to make a trip back. She did not want to have to argue with her afterwards!

"There are some messy people. If you can avoid them, please do. Don't interact with them."

Lu Xiangdong thought that those who said vulgar things must not be good people.

Su Mianmian thought that he was worrying too much. Even if An Xiaonai had changed, she wouldn't have become outrageous. After all, she grew up with her. In terms of personality, the two of them were very compatible. Otherwise, they wouldn't have grown up playing together.

Lu Xiangdong closed his newspaper and turned off the lights to sleep. She always thought things were too simple. Only when she was at a disadvantage would she understand that what he said was wise.

At dawn, he drove her to the Hong Kong airport. It was still early, and there weren't many people at the airport.

If she went back earlier, she could buy a few decent clothes in time for the wedding. She hadn't seen her friend for so many years, and she didn't want to wear embarrassing clothes at the wedding banquet.

Her timing was perfect. Su Mianmian changed into a set of beautiful clothes and drove to the entrance of the hotel.

Su Mianmian pushed open the car door and got out. She took off her sunglasses and let out a sigh. It was a five-star hotel. It seemed that the husband was not modest.

An Xiaonai sent her a message asking where she was.

She replied, 'I'm here. Wait for me in the dressing room.'

An Xiaonai stood up with excitement. The makeup artist looked at her in shock. "Miss Xiaonai, what are you doing? Your makeup isn't done yet!"

"Wait a moment. I'll be right back." An Xiaonai pulled up the long hem of her dress, opened the door, and ran out.

Su Mianmian had already entered the hotel lobby. The dressing room should be upstairs. She looked around excitedly before walking up the stairs.

"Su Mianmian!" Someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
