Chapter 1059: Goodbye, Elena

After returning to Hong Kong, Xia Yu rested for a day before boarding a plane to London.

This time, considering the possible risks of what he was doing in the UK, Xia Yu did not bring Li Qian with him, but only a large group of bodyguards.

In addition, secretly, Ma Qianjun had long ago dispatched more people to the European Luowei branch in advance to protect Xia Yu's safety, as instructed by Xia Yu.

When the Boeing 747 with the words Cathay Pacific printed on it landed at London's Heathrow International Airport, it was already past 3:00 p.m.

When Xia Yu came out of the VIP channel with a group of bodyguards, he suddenly heard a shout full of surprise.

'Hey, Master, I'm here!'

Xia Yu looked in the direction of the sound and a broad smile appeared on his face.

It was the siblings Elena and Henry and their bodyguards, and of course it was Henry who was running towards Xia Yu.

As for Elena, she was only slightly better than Henry. She had been trained in strict aristocratic etiquette and was now trotting towards him with her white skirt fluttering.

Seeing the joy on Elena's face, Xia Yu was touched, his gaze softening as he quickened his pace towards her.

'Master, it's great to see you again. I was planning to go to Hong Kong to look for you during the long vacation...'

Seeing Henry excitedly talking to Li Wuming, Xia Yu smiled as he walked up to them and his eyes met with Elena's.

'Elena, it's been a long time. I've missed you!'

Xia Yu spoke softly with a gentle smile.

'Me too!'

A blush appeared on Elena's fair face, and her beautiful, watery eyes looked straight at Xia Yu. Although she did not say anything about missing him, all her emotions had already been conveyed to Xia Yu through her gaze.

After looking at each other for a moment, Xia Yu opened his arms towards Elena, and leaned slightly forward. Elena naturally embraced Xia Yu.

Their faces gently pressed together, and then Xia Yu was about to kiss Irina's forehead when Irina suddenly raised her head.

Xia Yu froze for a moment, and then naturally touched Irina's face.

As Irina's blushing became more and more obvious, and her gaze slightly avoided his, Xia Yu smiled slightly and pretended not to see.

Among close friends, the hug is a common way to show affection, and of course there is also the kiss, usually a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the forehead or the face of the recipient. Only when the relationship is very close and you are in a happy mood will you perform the kissing ritual, a gentle touch and then leave, to show affection and offer comfort.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xia Yu and Elena talked on the phone almost every day.

Distance creates beauty. The two were thousands of miles apart, but they relied on a telephone line, and their relationship grew closer and closer.

It was precisely for this reason that Elena let Xia Yu perform the kissing ritual in full view of everyone. If she hadn't been so excited, the well-bred lady wouldn't have behaved in such a way.

Just then,

'Hey, Xia Yu, are you going to stand here with my sister, just basking in the sun?'

Xia Yu laughed quietly as he watched Henry cross his arms and speak to him in a grown-up tone.

Before Irina could say anything, he rubbed Henry's hair and said, 'Henry, why are you here today?'

Henry turned his head away, so Xia Yu's hands couldn't rub his hair, rolled his eyes, and said in a serious tone that showed his dislike: 'Today is Saturday, I don't have class, so why can't I come?'

'And I'm not here to pick you up, I'm here to greet my master.'

'And don't touch my head, that's not gentlemanly!'

Xia Yu and the somewhat helpless Elena exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

'Okay, I apologize!'

'I won't touch your head next time!'

'So now, Mr Henry, where are we going? To my place or yours?'

Henry glanced at his sister, spread his hands, and shrugged, saying, 'I'm fine with either, but I suggest you ask my sister.'

Xia Yu smiled and looked at Elena.

Elena gave a gentle smile and said softly, 'Xia Yu, let's go to your place. You've got so much luggage, you need to take it home first.'

'Okay, let's go!'

said Xia Yu, and he and Elena got into the car and headed to his manor house on the outskirts of London.

...

Although Xia Yu hadn't been to London for a long time, his manor house was still being looked after by the butler Fred and the servants.

When they saw Xia Yu return, Fred and the others were very happy, bustling around unpacking Xia Yu's luggage, making tea, and getting ready for a sumptuous dinner.

As for Henry, after sitting for less than two minutes, he dragged Li Wuming out.

When the butler saw that he was going down without incident, Xia Yu and Elena were the only two people left in the large living room.

'Elena, have you been well over the past period of time?'

Xia Yu asked with a faint smile as he peeled an orange in half and handed it to Elena.

Elena took the orange, looked at Xia Yu, and said with a smile, 'Not bad, work and life have been relatively fulfilling.'

'And when you're bored, you and I can always call each other, right?'

After saying this, Elena winked at Xia Yu with her big eyes, giving off a rather playful and cute feeling.

'And you?'

'You have to deal with so much company business every day. Although you don't tell me on the phone, it must be very hard for you, right?'

Looking at Elena's concerned eyes, Xia Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart and said honestly, 'It can be a bit tiring when things are urgent, but most of the time it's more relaxed. I have many outstanding subordinates who take on most of the pressure for me.'

'On the contrary, I heard from George that you don't know how to relax at work, and you're always working. He's reminded you many times.'

Elena smiled and looked at Xia Yu with her eyes narrowed, saying, 'This is your company, and you've put me in such an important position, so of course I have to work hard.'

Xia Yu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

...

They chatted for a while longer.

Irina asked Xia Yu, 'Xia Yu, how long do you plan to stay in London this time?'

What Irina didn't notice was that when she asked this question, she was so nervous that she subconsciously gripped her skirt.

Xia Yu could tell Irina was concerned, so he said with a smile, 'I'll be in Europe for at least two months, and I haven't decided what to do afterwards.'

On hearing this, Elena beamed with joy, and murmured happily, 'Two months? That'll be after Christmas...'

'But...Europe...'

Because she cared so much, Elena listened carefully to every word Xia Yu said, and after thinking about it, he decided not to pursue the matter further. After all, as long as they were in Europe, no matter which country, it was much closer than in Hong Kong.

This answer was already much better than expected...

That night, Elena and Henry did not go home, but stayed overnight at Xia Yu's house.

After dinner, Xia Yu and Elena sat on the lawn looking at the stars, chatting about work, life, and all kinds of interesting things. At some point, the two of them embraced, but Xia Yu, who was clear-headed, restrained himself and only made Elena's lips a little brighter.

That night, the two of them took another step closer to each other.

Early the next morning, after enjoying a hearty breakfast, Xia Yu and Elena drove to the City of London together.

It's been so long since I last came to London, before I do anything, I should sort out my assets in the UK properly...
