Chapter 285 - The Honey Trap (2/2)
Meng Fan was confused. This flight attendant was Japanese. The flight he took was a Japanese flight, with most of the crew being Japanese. Why was she here? Why was she jogging?
Then, his mind worked quickly. He suddenly realized this meeting with the flight attendant wasn’t the right time.
Meanwhile, the flight attendant noticed someone next to her staring at her. She looked over, and her eyes instantly glowed. She took off her earphones and smiled, revealing her teeth. “Hi, can I help you?”
She used English. Her words sounded a little professional.
“Hello! (in Chinese)”
“Hello! (in Japanese)”
“Hello! (in Korean)”
She used three other languages. She was probably worried Meng Fan didn’t understand. Obviously, she was more patient with an attractive man.
Meng Fan stopped agonizing as she kept asking him. If they met here, this was meant to be. It’s definitely a change in fate, and maybe he’ll learn something useful.
He pretended to be serious and a little confused as he asked in Chinese, “Hello, have we met before?”
Okay, this was obviously one of the most cliche pick-up lines, but Meng Fan couldn’t think of anything else. However, Meng Fan’s old-fashioned pick-up method, combined with his attractive smile, was actually very effective.
The flight attendant blushed and answered, “Maybe it’s because I look like an adult…”
She spoke accented Chinese and was apparently aware of Chinese culture. She wanted to say adult actress, which also meant actress in Japan, but she knew in China that the same word implied a certain type of acting. Because of who Meng Fan was, she was willing to try harder, even if he only approached her because of who she resembled. She changed the word to, “…like an actress.”
Meng Fan didn’t think of this angle when he tried to talk to her. He was a little embarrassed, but he recovered by saying, “No, no. I just thought we’d met before.”
The flight attendant liked his answer, regardless of whether it was true or not. Maybe because running made one’s heart beat faster, she became more open and cutely winked at Meng Fan, “Maybe in your dreams.”
Meng Fan knew she was coming onto him. But this time, he didn’t want to refuse; he actually thought it might be a good investigation method. He felt a little crazy at the idea that he could use himself as bait!
The flight attendant continued, “Regardless of whether we’ve met before, I’m so happy to see you today.” She continued to jog as she reached out her hand, “Hello, my name is Minako Sakurai.”
Meng Fan reached out his hand, too. “Hello, my name is Meng Fan.”
Reluctantly, Minako Sakurai let go of his hand. She continued to jog since Meng Fan kept going as well but not very quickly. It was obvious she ran regularly as she didn’t breathe very hard. She chatted excitedly, “Is Mr. Meng a Singaporean-Chinese or Chinese?”
Her breathing, while not heavy, still sounded like the adult actress’ moans, which were too much. He tried to talk more to cover up his reaction, “I’m Chinese and here on vacation. How about you? Can I call you Minako?”
“Of course!”
Minako Sakurai looked happy. “I’m a flight attendant. I mostly fly between Singapore City and Kyoto. I had two days off, so I stayed here.”
“Really? What a coincidence. I was planning to visit Japan, too. Maybe I’ll see you on a flight sometime.”
“Wow, if you do come to Japan, I’d love to be your tour guide. I hope I’ll have the pleasure.”
The two of them chatted about nothing in particular. Meng Fan didn’t dare mention how he was going to be on her flight to Japan. The two of them seemed to be happy chatting; at least, Minako Sakurai was.
As they chatted and jogged, they ended up having breakfast near the park. Exchanging contact information seemed natural at that point, too.
When Meng Fan returned to the hotel, he rushed to take a shower. He used a little warm water to relax his muscles first before turning the water cold.
Last night, there was that woman who tried to seduce him. This morning, he ran into a flight attendant who looked and moaned like his favorite adult actress. She sounded so gentle and was so adorable, and she kept giving him signals. Altogether, this was too tempting!
After being blasted by cold water, he finally calmed down.
Whew!
Meng Fan was flustered that he ran into this flight attendant.
What was the point?
He was using himself as a honey trap. Would he have a breakthrough with this?
As he thought, a call came in from Meng Caitang. She asked him to go out for breakfast and then a tour.
Meng Fan didn’t tell her he’d already gotten up much earlier. He went down for another breakfast.
“Why are you eating so little? Older brother, dieting is not fasting!” Meng Caitang thought his diet was not healthy.
How could Meng Fan explain that he already had breakfast and would be stuffed if he ate more?
Just like before his reincarnation, they visited the Botanic Gardens and National Museum in the morning. Lunch was Tian Tian’s Hainanese Chicken Rice. In the afternoon, they planned to go to Universal Studios in the most southern part of Singapore City.
Meng Fan really wanted to convince Meng Caitang not to go, since before his reincarnation, they didn’t tour Universal for long before her advisor called her back for something work-related.
But he decided against it. If Meng Caitang did leave, he’d stay like before. He’d have an opportunity to move on his own then.
It did turn out as he expected. Soon after they started their visit, Meng Caitang was called away.
Unlike before, after Meng Caitang took off, Minako Sakurai called him. Interestingly enough, she also wanted to meet him at Universal Studios.
