I am already at the door.

Although Su Yang hadn’t expected this situation, he’d had a vague feeling it might happen.

Otherwise, how could a girl have pushed him over so easily? He just hadn’t expected things to unfold like this.

“What are you trying to do?” Su Yang asked, staring at Bella.

“What do you think?” Bella extended a finger and lifted Su Yang’s chin.

“Isn’t this a little too direct? If you’re interested, we can arrange another time. There are still people waiting for us in town.”

Bella gave him a faint, seductive smile. “Do you know why I came to pick you up dozens of minutes early?”

Hearing this, Su Yang thought, ‘Damn, so she’d planned this from the very beginning!’

Before Su Yang could say anything else, Bella shoved him down and quickly climbed into the car.

Bang!

In the quiet hours before dawn, the sound of the car door closing was exceptionally loud. But at that moment, who had the time to worry about that?

Their sudden encounter brought the car to a standstill for several dozen minutes.

At exactly four o’clock, the two of them were seated in the front again. Bella’s face was flushed as she straightened her clothes, then started the car and drove toward town.

Su Yang leaned back in the passenger seat, gazing out at the pitch-black night.

A few minutes later, Bella drove into the center of the small town. Two black SUVs were parked along the roadside not far ahead.

Bella flashed her headlights. The two vehicles quickly opened their doors, and two middle-aged, rather portly men hurried out.

“Bella’s here,” said one of the men, whose temples had already begun to gray. He grinned warmly.

“Uncle Riel, how long have you been here?” Bella asked with a smile, poking her head out after driving closer.

“We arrived five minutes ago.”

“Good. Sorry to trouble you both. Let’s get going.”

“Sure. Suilis Airport, right?”

“That’s right. Just follow me.”

“Okay.”

The two men smiled, greeted Su Yang in the passenger seat, and then got back into their vehicle.

Bella stepped on the gas and took the lead, with the other two cars following closely behind.

The three vehicles soon left the town and entered the darkness of the night.

After crossing a winding mountain road that wasn’t particularly high, the three cars reached the expressway to Suilis at 4:20 a.m.

Once on the highway, they increased their speed to around 140 kilometers per hour and cruised steadily along.

At that speed, they would reach Suilis in less than an hour.

Inside the car, Bella glanced at Su Yang and smiled. “Mr. Su Yang, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing much. Just spacing out. It’s been a long time since I’ve driven on the highway this late at night. The last time was when one of my friends got married.”

“Oh, a friend from China?”

“Yeah. I haven’t seen him in quite a while.”

“Are you going to pick him up this time?”

“No, he didn’t come.”

“Oh, I see.” Bella nodded, then smiled. “But speaking of which, Mr. Su Yang, you’re pretty impressive.”

“In what way?”

“In that way just now.” Bella winked.

Su Yang shook his head with a laugh. “By the way, Bella, how old are you this year?”

“Twenty.”

“That young? But why do I get the feeling you’re an old hand at romance?”

“Maybe it’s because I’m outgoing. Most of my friends are like that too.”

“How many relationships have you been in?” Su Yang asked.

“One.”

“One?”

“What? You don’t believe me? I’m really not lying.”

Su Yang smiled. “I believe you, but I still don’t understand how you could be so bold. You actually dared to do that.”

Bella stared at the empty road ahead. “It’s mainly because you’re so attractive. I don’t know why, but I fell for you the moment I saw you.”

“Uh… was it really that exaggerated?”

“Of course. If we didn’t have something to take care of right now, I’d want to pull over and do it again…”

“Okay, okay, enough about that.” Su Yang raised a hand to stop her.

Bella gave him a charming smile and turned her attention back to driving.

Time passed quickly. An hour later, at 5:25 a.m., the three cars exited the expressway.

Only about four kilometers remained before they reached the airport.

“We’re almost there,” Bella said.

Su Yang glanced at the time. “It’s almost five-thirty. We timed this perfectly.”

“Right? How’s my driving?” Bella asked with a smile.

“Excellent!” Su Yang gave her a thumbs-up.

“The main reason is that I know how to take the initiative~” Bella turned to him and winked again.

Hearing that, Su Yang thought, ‘This girl is unbelievable. She’s always finding a way to get on the highway.’

The sky was still pitch-black. There were already a few vehicles on the road, but not many.

Bella switched off the navigation and turned left at an intersection. Before long, Su Yang could see the brightly lit terminal building of Suilis Airport in the distance through the windshield.

Bella asked, “Which terminal are your friends arriving at?”

“Terminal A.”

“Got it.”

Bella seemed very familiar with the airport. She quickly drove to the parking lot at Terminal A.

The three vehicles each found an empty parking space and pulled in.

Su Yang checked the time. It was 5:40 a.m. By now, the plane carrying Pan Ning and the others should be about to land.

“Impressive. That was insanely fast.”

“What does ‘insanely fast’ mean?” Bella asked with a smile, turning toward him.

“It means you’re amazing.”

“Haha, thanks for the compliment.”

“You’re welcome. Come on, let’s wait by the terminal entrance.”

“Okay.”

The two of them opened their doors, got out, and called over the two uncles who had accompanied them before walking toward the terminal entrance.

Su Yang took out some cigarettes and handed them to the two men. The group chatted for a while.

At 6:20, Su Yang’s phone chimed.

He took it out and saw a message from an unfamiliar number.

“Old Su, it’s Old Meng. We’re coming out soon. Are you here?”

“I’m already at the entrance.”

“Great. We just changed our SIM cards. We’ll be out in five minutes.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

The airport was bustling with people. Tourists kept streaming out of the terminal, while many others hurried inside with suitcases in tow.

It was the busiest airport in Switzerland, with a large number of international flights and an enormous flow of passengers.

A few minutes later, Su Yang was the first to spot Pan Ning, Zhuang Mengli, and the other familiar faces through the terminal’s enormous glass windows. They were walking out with the crowd.

Pan Ning’s formerly sexy red hair had been dyed black again.

She hadn’t cut it, though, and it had grown somewhat longer. Today, she was wearing straight bangs that covered her forehead, while the hair on either side of her face hung naturally. This was a hairstyle that people with less-than-stunning looks definitely shouldn’t try casually—the chances of it going wrong were extremely high.

But on Pan Ning, it looked perfect. The style made her face appear even more delicate and petite.

She wore a black cropped sports jacket over an orange cropped camisole, paired with black cargo pants and black leather boots.

‘As expected of Pan. That outfit is so cool!’

Su Yang stared at Pan Ning for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Zhuang Mengli beside her.

Zhuang Mengli wore a white baseball cap. She had on a red-and-white striped knitted jacket over a plain white T-shirt, along with a pair of light-colored distressed denim shorts. Her long, eye-catching legs were impossible to look away from.
