It was no surprise that the flight attendants looked miserable every day after they found out he was married. The man's voice was crisp and stern. "Prepare for the estimated position check." "Ready." "Visual flight conditions?" "Confirmed." "Visibility?" "Approximately 14.8 kilometers, few clouds, cloud ceiling at 5,700 feet." Once all the pre-flight checks were complete, Chief Flight Attendant Ning Jie entered the cockpit to report to Bo Xingzhi. "Aircraft Commander Bo, all passengers are on board. Here is the manifest." Having flown with Bo Xingzhi on numerous occasions, Ning Jie was well aware of his meticulous attention to detail and promptly handed over the manifest. While many pilots would not bother to review the passenger list, Bo Xingzhi made it a point to do so, ensuring he had a firm grasp on all necessary information to guarantee a flawless operation. "Do all the passengers appear to be in good health?" Bo Xingzhi asked as he scanned the manifest. His lips curved into a slight smile when he came across Ruan Su's name. Clearance was granted, and Bo Xingzhi maneuvered the aircraft for takeoff. Meanwhile, in business class, Ruan Su propped her chin in her hand and gazed at the clouds outside for a while before feeling drowsy. Flying could be so dull. Why did he insist on her accompanying him on the flight? Still, her seat was conveniently close to the cockpit. The thought of Bo Xingzhi at the controls, piloting the plane with such speed and precision, made him seem incredibly attractive in her eyes. It was oddly reassuring. Now that the plane was cruising steadily, it was a good time for a chat. The flight attendants, having flown with Bo Xingzhi several times before, had already recognized Soong Yan as the special assistant. "Hey, do you think Special Assistant Soong has a girlfriend?" "That girl is quite beautiful. When she boarded, Special Assistant Soong was very attentive, always by her side. He even asked me for a thin blanket to cover her legs." "Is Special Assistant Soong always this caring and gentle? If he is this tender, I wonder if Aircraft Commander Bo is just as gentle with Mrs. Bo." "Who knows? Why don't you go to the cockpit and ask?" "Not a chance. Aircraft Commander Bo is so intimidatingly aloof, it's terrifying."
The flight attendants burst into giggles. Hee Qiuqiu approached and saw them laughing so hard they were practically shaking. "What's so funny?" "Hey, Qiuqiu, would you dare to ask Aircraft Commander Bo a question?" one flight attendant teased, stepping closer. "What question?" "It's nothing. They're just playing around," Ning Jie interjected, nudging the flight attendant and giving her a stern look. It was no secret that Hee Qiuqiu had harbored feelings for Aircraft Commander Bo for quite some time. The flight attendant, a bit slow on the uptake, finally realized. "We were just discussing Special Assistant Soong's girlfriend. We're curious if Aircraft Commander Bo knows anything about it, but we're too scared to ask him." "Oh, I see," Hee Qiuqiu said with a small laugh, letting the conversation drop. Just then, the captain's crisp voice came over the intercom. Bo Xingzhi's familiar voice, with its slight magnetism and deep, sensual tone, filled the cabin. Ruan Su rested her head against the window, gazing out into the night as she listened. A strange flutter rose in her chest; even while working, Bo Xingzhi's voice sent her heart racing. Memories of countless nights with him came flooding back, his voice as alluring as ever in her ear, and warmth crept up as her ears heated and turned red.
