C69

Lin Wanbai was dragged along by Huo Changyuan.

He took big steps, and she staggered behind him from time to time.

The sleep was gone.

Lin Wanbai looked at the green identification in her hand, then at the firm outline of his face, and couldn't help but bite her lips. This man was truly resourceful, when did he actually manage to get her passport ready ?

"Mr. Howe, I really am going to be late for work ?"

Unable to pull away, Lin Wanbai could only shake her hand that had been tightly clenched by him.

Huo Changyuan stopped his steps, turned around and instructed her, "Call me for leave now."

"Huh?"

"You need my help?"

Seeing that he was really going to grab her phone, Lin Wanbai could only call her own number. "Hello, Director. It's me, Xiao Lin. My family suddenly has some urgent matters and wants to ask you for a week's leave ?"

Although the supervisor was unhappy, he still reluctantly agreed.

The moment he hung up, Huo Changyuan's black eyes looked over, "You can't even breathe if you're lying."

"?" Lin Wanbai clenched her claws.

It was all thanks to who!

She tugged at her only bag belt and frowned. "But it still won't do. I haven't said anything about Grandmother ?"

"I told Granny yesterday, and she agreed." Huo Changyuan frowned slightly.

"?" Lin Wanbai's eyes widened.

Suddenly, he felt that his appearance in the ward yesterday might have had a purpose ?

Jiang Fang, who was carrying his luggage in front, turned his head and nodded, "Director Huo, please wait here for a while, I will go and check in!"

The passport in Lin Wanbai's hand was taken.

"I might have forgotten to bring my ID card ?" She also planned to make her last desperate struggle.

Huo Changyuan just snorted and directly took off her shoulder bag. He opened it and found the ID card in his wallet without any hesitation.

Lin Wanbai drooped her head. How could this man's observation skills be so sharp!

Jiang Fang returned with the boarding pass in five or six minutes.

"Let's go!"

Lin Wanbai silently followed.

Waiting for the security check team to line up for a long time would take some time. Huo Changyuan looked at Lin Wanbai who had a boarding pass behind her and asked with a frown, "Why are you not saying anything?"

It was as if she hadn't spoken a word ever since the boarding pass was changed.

After a long time, Lin Wanbai finally replied in a low voice, "I've never been on a plane before ?"

To tell the truth, it would be very embarrassing. I'm afraid there's almost no one who hasn't flown before right now.

However, she did not. Firstly, she and her grandma had been living together ever since they left the Lin Family. Normally, they rarely traveled, even when they were on the train. Secondly, since her mother died at the age of eight, she was a little afraid of heights ?

Huo Changyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw her eyelashes tremble. When he opened his mouth again, his tone was much gentler than before. "Just follow me!"

"Yes sir!" She answered more meekly than ever.

In the next moment, Huo Changyuan saw her following him like a child from the corner of his eye.

When it was their turn to pass the security check, Lin Wanbai was stopped by the uniformed men for having dangerous goods in her shoulder bag.

The last item to be pulled out was a military knife wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Are you still carrying around?" Huo Changyuan frowned.

Before Lin Wanbai could reply, the security guard wearing a white handkerchief had already picked up the blade and said in a serious tone, "I'm sorry Madam, this is dangerous goods. According to the air law, you are not allowed to take a plane!"

"Then what should we do ?" Lin Wanbai panicked.

Huo Changyuan walked over silently and took the general's knife.

Thinking that he was going to throw it away like last time, Lin Wanbai shouted, "No!"

Huo Changyuan glanced at her and instructed Jiang Fang, who came in later, "Jiang Fang, go and arrange for delivery!"

"Yes sir!" Jiang Fang nodded.

Only then did Lin Wanbai heave a sigh of relief.

Not long after he entered the departure lounge, the broadcast began reminding him to board the plane.

In the first class, the two sat side by side while Jiang Fang sat in the back.

The moment Lin Wanbai sat down, she still felt a bit absent-minded.

Did he really just pack it up and get on the plane?

The passengers beside her were all fastening their safety belts onto their bodies. Lin Wanbai looked at them for a long time, but still couldn't understand what was going on.

Fortunately, there was a video playing on the LCD screen. She was in the middle of studying seriously when a pair of large hands reached out from the side. Their slender fingers easily hooked up and tied it up for her.

Lin Wanbai sniffed his breath and said, "Thank you ?"

Huo Changyuan originally wanted to tease her like he usually did, but seeing her silly look, he stopped himself.

After taxiing for a while, the plane steadied itself in the clouds.

The flight attendant walked over. Huo Changyuan raised his hand and said, "Give me a glass of ice water."

"I want it too ?" Lin Wanbai whispered.

When she received the cup of water from the flight attendant, the cabin suddenly started shaking.

Lin Wanbai jumped in shock, her face turning slightly pale.

The flight attendant saw the situation and smiled as if she was used to it. "Madam, do not be afraid. It's just that the plane will be bumpy due to the airflow. This is a normal occurrence."

As soon as his voice fell, the warning light flashed and the broadcast sounded, reminding all passengers to fasten their seat belts and not to walk freely. If you are in the washroom, please hold on to the armrest.

Lin Wanbai relaxed a little and nodded, but there was still some lingering fear in her heart.

Lowering his head, he found that he was holding Huo Changyuan's hand tightly and his face turned red.

"Uh, sorry ?"

Embarrassed, Lin Wanbai retracted her hand.

Huo Changyuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid now ?" Lin Wanbai licked her lips.

Huo Changyuan narrowed his deep eyes and a hint of light came out. He said faintly, "There will be more air flow soon."

"..." "Is that so?" Lin Wanbai couldn't hide the nervousness in her voice.

And her hand, as if it had just been there, tightened around his.

The only difference was that this time, she did not loosen her grip.

Huo Changyuan was holding a glass of water. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the small hand that was tightly clenched on the back of his hand. The corner of his mouth lifted imperceptibly when he was drinking water.

"..."

About 10 hours later, the plane arrived.

Lin Wanbai followed Huo Changyuan out of the airport lobby. They had already arranged a car. They first sat in it and waited for Wu steel to pick up their luggage.

At this moment, it was already late at night. All that could be seen were the bright lights of the airport.

Previously, he had been too focused on the plane and hadn't paid too much attention to the final destination.

Looking around, he saw the name of the city in front of him. Lin Wanbai then realized that they were in New York, the central city of the United States ?

Internationalized metropolis is also the world's number one economic center, moreover...

He was there.

He couldn't help but clench his fingers one by one, his eyes gradually glazed over as a scorching aura approached him. "What are you thinking about?"
