The procedure to board the plane was smooth and they were immediately directed to the sky business section. The flight was 15 hours long so Zhi Ruo made sure to buy the most expensive and most comfortable seats in the expensive plane.
Hui Yin told her to use their private jet but Zhi Ruo was a bit uncomfortable using it so she refused.
The seats were extremely wide as they could be transformed into beds. Consequently, there were only four seats per row, one on each side of the plane and two in the middle.
Zhi Ruo instantly headed to a singular seat as she really liked the window seat. However, she was stopped by Lin Xia that approached her and said, " President, can I seat here instead? I feel a bit uncomfortable sitting next to w.a.n.g Yong. "
Zhi Ruo reluctantly nodded as she understood the circ.u.mstances and bid farewell to her window.
After comfortably settling in, Zhi Ruo opened the screen in front of her and started watching a movie while w.a.n.g Yong silently mouthed the word thank you to her a.s.sistant.
Shortly after, the plane took flight and Zhi Ruo fell into a deep slumber, the marriage was kind of exhausting for her.
When it came to mealtime, w.a.n.g Yong dotingly rubbed her head to wake her up, " Ruoruo, wake up. It's time to eat. "
" Hmm. " Zhi Ruo drowsily woke up and blinked her confused eyes.
" I told them to prepare a salad so it isn't too heavy for you. " w.a.n.g Yong added.
" Hmm. " Zhi Ruo obediently nodded her head.
w.a.n.g Yong laughed at her sleepy face.
...
After eating her meal, Zhi Ruo stood up to go to the toilet and when she came out she b.u.mped into a flight attendant.
" Miss, your boyfriend and you are really adorable! When you were sleeping, he kept looking at you and made sure to put back your blanket when it slipped off. " the lady happily revealed.
" Oh... " Zhi Ruo didn't really know what to answer and went back to her seat and looked at her ' boyfriend '
" Why do you think everyone thinks we are a couple? " Zhi Ruo inquired at the man.
w.a.n.g Yong turned to look at her, " Does it bother you when they a.s.sume it? "
" Not really but it may bother you. " Zhi Ruo shook her head.
" It also doesn't bother me. Why do you think so? " w.a.n.g Yong replied casually.
" Well...do you have someone you love? " Zhi Ruo asked the question she was holding in since the dance.
" You are curious? " w.a.n.g Yong smirked.
" I wouldn't want a misunderstanding to be made. " Zhi Ruo smoothly lied. Her real objective was to scout the area to see if she had to fight anyone to win over the big boss if she fell harder for him.
" Then it's fine. " w.a.n.g Yong mysteriously smiled and rubbed her head.
" Really? " Zhi Ruo's eyes slightly brightened.
' Does that mean I can safely fall for the big boss? ' Zhi Ruo pondered.
" Okay, get some rest. I know you are tired. " w.a.n.g Yong urged her to rest and went back to typing something on the portable computer he brought with him.
...
After a long 15 hours flight, they finally landed in the US and checked in the five-star hotel. They each separated and went to their room to sleep a bit and freshen up. When they arrived in the US, it was already 2 in the morning so they decided to meet up at 9:00 am tomorrow morning at the hotel restaurant.
Zhi Ruo slept a lot during the flight and couldn't sleep after waking up at 8:00 am. She took her sweet time to refreshen up and changed into a casual black halter neck dress that arrived a bit before the knees paired with high heels. Zhi Ruo lightly put on some makeup and headed to the restaurant sooner.
When she got into the lift, an angry man talking on the phone followed. Hearing the light tone of voice full of anger, Zhi Ruo lifted her head to look at the man.
From the back, he had light brown hair and a nice physique.
The elevator dinged, the doors opened and they walked out. The man roughly slipped his room card in his back pocket and ignored the attendant at the front of the restaurant entrance and walked in.
" Good morning Miss, will it be for one person only? " the attendant didn't mind the man's action and politely spoke in English with Zhi Ruo.
" Good morning. No, can I get a table for five? They will come later. " Zhi Ruo replied in perfect English, useful skill the old host left behind.
" Yes, please follow me. " the lady smiled and directed Zhi Ruo to the table.
Suddenly, Zhi Ruo saw the fallen room card and instantly knew it was the man she met earlier.
She elegantly picked it up and asked the lady to reserve the table as she had to go give back the card.
The lady nodded and Zhi Ruo started searching for the brown-haired man.
A loud voice pierced the calm atmosphere of the restaurant and Zhi Ruo's eyes followed suit.
A woman wearing a seductive red dress was standing up and yelling at a man.
Zhi Ruo narrowed her eyes and realized he was the person she was searching for.
Zhi Ruo quietly approached the small table and tapped the man on the shoulder, " I am sorry to bother your conversation but you dropped your card. "
The man turned to Zhi Ruo and was stunned by her breathtaking beauty, " Thank you... "
" Is it her?! Is she that wench?! " the woman in red viciously shouted after witnessing their interaction.
Zhi Ruo was a bit scared of the screaming lady and tried to explain herself, " You are wrong, I just picked up... "
Zhi Ruo didn't have time to finish her sentence when the lady howled at her and raised her hand, " You b*tch! You dare talk back?! "
The hand raised and came down at a fulgurant speed towards Zhi Ruo's delicate face.
