Good times are always fleeting.
At six-thirty in the morning, the sky outside the window was already bright. Sunlight shone into the bedroom through the unclosed curtains, and the chirping of birds echoed through the residential compound.
However, at this moment, Su Yang and Zhuang Mengli were still fast asleep.
The two of them hadn't gone to bed until nearly four in the morning.
Just as they were sleeping soundly, a noisy cell phone ringtone sounded from beneath Zhuang Mengli's pillow.
She rolled over, squinted, and fished out the phone from under the pillow, answering it impatiently.
"Hello, who is it!"
"Who do you think it is? Look at the time, why aren't you up yet! Isn't your flight at eight-thirty?" Jiang Xiaotang's voice came through the phone.
"What flight? Stop bothering my sleep!"
Beep—
Before she could even finish her sentence, she hung up the phone directly. Zhuang Mengli tossed the phone aside, rolled over, and hugged Su Yang, ready to go back to sleep.
But just a few seconds after she settled down, the phone rang again.
"Ahhh! Do you want to die!" Zhuang Mengli shouted, and this yell instantly woke up Su Yang next to her.
"What's wrong!!" Su Yang sat up instantly and asked.
Zhuang Mengli ignored Su Yang, grabbed her phone, and answered, "Do you have a death wish!"
"You're the one with a death wish! Get up!! You have a flight to catch!"
"Catch what flight? Catch what flight? I think you're a flight!" Just as she was about to hang up again, Su Yang grabbed her hand. "Wait, we really do have a flight to catch."
"What?" Zhuang Mengli closed her eyes, paused for two seconds, and opened them again.
"Oh, right, we're flying to Haicheng." She patted her head and said.
Just then, Jiang Xiaotang's yell came through the phone, "Wow, you damn Mengmeng, you're with Su Yang!? What exactly is going on with you two?!"
"Oh no, she heard him." Zhuang Mengli froze and covered the phone as she spoke.
Jiang Xiaotang's yell came through the phone again, "Don't 'oh no' me!! I know everything now! You two are really something, fine, fine, fine."
"Ugh, stop nagging, where are you?!" Since she had already been heard, Zhuang Mengli couldn't be bothered to overthink it and quickly changed the subject.
"I'm at home. I'm already packed and just waiting for you guys."
"Packed what?"
"My luggage!"
"Oh right, I haven't packed a thing."
"Then hurry up and get out of bed! The flight takes off at eight-thirty, you have to leave the house by seven!" Jiang Xiaotang shouted.
"Okay, okay, I know. I'm hanging up now, I'll call you later." After saying that, Zhuang Mengli quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up, she tilted her head to look at Su Yang beside her and said with a blank stare, "...So, Xiaotang heard you."
Su Yang shook his head. "Ah, we can't worry about that right now, let's just get up first."
"Alright, I'll go wash up and pack my luggage first, make yourself at home." Zhuang Mengli didn't dwell on it. She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
Su Yang leaned against the headboard in a daze. It had only been about a minute since he woke up, and he was still a bit groggy.
However, to his surprise, Zhuang Mengli didn't show any signs of awkwardness after waking up. Her attitude towards the situation was completely different from that of Xu Zilin, Su Qingci, Meng Qianyu, and the others before her.
With her, it was as if nothing had happened, or rather, as if it was a completely normal thing.
[Ding, detected that Zhuang Mengli's affection level towards the host has increased to: 90, rewarding 6 million]
After leaning against the headboard and resting for a few minutes, Su Yang got up, changed into the new clothes he bought yesterday, and went to the bathroom in the living room to wash up.
After quickly washing up, Zhuang Mengli pulled out her suitcase and packed her passport, ID card, cosmetics, and some essential feminine items. She also casually grabbed a few shirts, pants, and skirts; if she didn't have enough to wear, she could always just buy more when she got there.
She moved quickly and was ready exactly at seven o'clock.
Su Yang was sitting on the balcony smoking. Seeing Zhuang Mengli walk out dragging her suitcase, he stood up and asked, "All done?"
"Mhm, are we leaving now?"
"Just about. With an eight-thirty flight, it's time to head out. Did you call Xiaotang?"
"Not yet."
"Then give her a call and tell her to head to the airport directly from her place."
"Okay, which airport was it again?"
"Xinqiao Airport, Terminal 3."
"Okay." Zhuang Mengli said as she dialed Jiang Xiaotang's number.
After a few rings, the call connected. "Hello."
"Are you done?" Jiang Xiaotang asked.
"Done, heading out now. You should hurry up and leave too, see you at the airport later."
"Alright, which airport?"
"Xinqiao T3."
"Okay, let's head out then. See you later."
The call ended. Su Yang grabbed his bag and walked out the door with Zhuang Mengli.
"Are we driving?" Zhuang Mengli asked.
"No, let's just take a taxi."
"Alright."
As they spoke, they quickly took the elevator downstairs and walked to the main gate of the residential compound a few minutes later.
They had good luck; as soon as they reached the roadside, an empty taxi drove up, and Su Yang reached out to flag it down.
"Driver, please open the trunk."
"Okay." After putting their luggage in the trunk, the two got into the backseat.
"Driver, to Xinqiao International Airport, Terminal 3."
"Alright, please fasten your seatbelts."
It took about thirty minutes to get from Zhuang Mengli's residential compound to Xinqiao Airport.
At around seven-forty in the morning, the two arrived at the entrance of Terminal 3.
Just as they got out of the car, Su Yang saw a black Rolls-Royce Ghost slowly driving up. After the car stopped, Jiang Xiaotang pushed open the rear door and stepped out.
"Damn, as expected of a wealthy young lady from the Magic City, she even has a dedicated driver to drop her off."
Zhuang Mengli tilted her head and said, "If I lived at my dad's place, I'd have one too."
"I know, you don't need to emphasize it."
"Oh, right, I forgot something!" Su Yang suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said.
"What is it?" Zhuang Mengli asked.
"I'm leaving without even saying hello to your dad and grandpa, that's not very polite, is it."
"Oh, it's fine, they won't mind. I'll just give them a call and let them know later. Besides, you're our family's top VIP among VIPs right now, they wouldn't dare say anything."
Hearing this, Su Yang shook his head and smiled. "Alright then, just remember to make the call before we take off."
"I know." Zhuang Mengli said nonchalantly before walking towards Jiang Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang, hurry up, why are you dawdling."
"Eh? I thought you hadn't arrived yet." Jiang Xiaotang said as she took the suitcase handed to her by the driver.
This driver also knew Zhuang Mengli. He looked at her, nodded, and smiled, "Hello, Miss Zhuang."
"Eh, are you Uncle Qi?" Zhuang Mengli turned her head and said.
"Yes, it's me."
"Uncle Qi, where is your family's driver?"
"The driver had some matters to attend to today, so I personally brought Xiaotang over."
"Oh, I see. Alright then, Uncle Qi, we have to go in, we're running out of time."
"Okay, have fun you guys. I'm leaving now, come over to play at our house when you get back."
"Okay~" Zhuang Mengli smiled sweetly and pulled Jiang Xiaotang along as they walked towards Su Yang.
Seeing the two walking over from a short distance away, Su Yang smiled and said, "Hello there, Xiaotang."
"Hello to you, Handsome Su~" Jiang Xiaotang waved at Su Yang and gave a sweet smile.
"That man just now wasn't the driver, was he?" Su Yang asked, looking toward the street.
Zhuang Mengli glanced back and replied, "No, that's the old butler from Xiaotang's family."
"Oh, got it. I was just wondering how you knew him too. Alright, let's go."
