Confronted by Bo Xingzhi, Ruan Su had no choice but to compromise. Did this man come out here just to check whether she had taken her medicine? She had already been coerced into drinking two glasses of water by Soong Yan, and constantly needing the restroom was both annoying and embarrassing. Not too far off, Hee Qiuqiu caught bits about drinking water and taking medicine, her brow furrowing slightly. She sensed that the girl was not Soong Yan's girlfriend. Instead, she seemed to have a closer connection with Aircraft Commander Bo. Bo Xingzhi reached out and adjusted the blanket on Ruan Su's knees, pulling it up with a commanding yet graceful gesture. "Keep it on." He then instructed Hee Qiuqiu, "Bring another one." Hee Qiuqiu bit her lip and fetched another blanket. As she was about to hand it to Ruan Su, a long, strong hand intercepted it and draped it gently over Ruan Su. "It gets chilly at night." Hee Qiuqiu's eyes widened in shock. Their cold and assertive Aircraft Commander Bo was showing such tenderness, covering this girl with a blanket. What was happening? Wasn't she supposed to be Soong Yan's girlfriend? Hee Qiuqiu's mind was a whirlwind of confusion. "Understood," Ruan Su grumbled. "Aren't you going back? Who's flying the plane?" "The Vice Aircraft Commander is taking over for me," Bo Xingzhi replied, his voice still cool with a hint of irritation. "Are you trying to send me away?" Ruan Su quickly backpedaled. "No, of course not. I'm just concerned about your job. After all, you have the lives of over a hundred passengers in your hands." Bo Xingzhi let out a laugh. "Cute." He turned and headed back to the cockpit. Ruan Su smirked. She knew this man fell for flattery. Looking up, she noticed the flight attendant was still there. She gave the attendant a friendly smile. "Is there anything else you need?" Hee Qiuqiu snapped back to reality. "Oh, do you require any further assistance?" "No, thank you," Ruan Su replied, shaking her head. It appeared she was yet another woman captivated by Bo Xingzhi's magnetic allure.
Otherwise, why would she look so lost and forlorn? Hee Qiuqiu's heart pounded almost uncontrollably. Had she been mistaken? The usually stoic Aircraft Commander Bo had actually given that girl a warm smile. The envy in her heart was nearly impossible to hide. Who exactly was that girl? As she returned, she overheard several flight attendants discussing what had just happened. "Oh my goodness, Aircraft Commander Bo actually draped a blanket over that girl." "Could it actually be Mrs. Bo?" "But they have been married for four years. Is Mrs. Bo still that young?" "It doesn't seem likely." When Hee Qiuqiu approached, the flight attendants instantly fell silent. With a mix of emotions swirling inside her, Hee Qiuqiu poured herself a glass of water, her expression icy, and gulped it down in one swift motion. Who was that girl, anyway? The plane touched down after 4:00 a.m., the sky tinged with the pale light of dawn. A chilly morning breeze swept through, sending shivers down her spine. Ruan Su, wrapped in a Chanel coat, appreciated how practical the garment Young Master Bo had provided was in this moment. She and Soong Yan made their way toward the shuttle bus. "Special Assistant Soong, I have a question for you." "Madam, what would you like to ask?" "When will Bo Xingzhi be ready to sign the papers?" She gazed toward the dawning sky. "Do you think he could sign them tomorrow?"
