384 Lan Mengchen’s Change of Character (1/2)

”Dragon City?”

Chen Xiaobei was caught by surprise. ”Why didn't you tell me earlier if you know that the auction is tonight?” He asked, a little upset. ”I don't have a pair of wings to fly whenever I like!”

”You don't need a pair of wings,” Luo Puti replied calmly. ”Just get on a plane before noon. It's a very special auction; you'll be sorry if you missed it!”

”Fine! I'll check the flight schedules now! I'll definitely come… provided that there's a flight that gets there before noon!” Chen Xiaobei said before hanging up.

”Where are you going?” Xiangyu asked in curiosity.

”I'm going to Dragon City, the capital of China. I don't know what you call it during your time but that place is worth thousands of years in history!” Chen Xiaobei said as he searched through available flights with his cellphone.

”Can I go there with you? I want to check out the place as well.” Xiangyu said.

”Of course! Leave it to me!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.

All he had to do was to purchase another flight ticket, but there was another issue – Xiangyu did not have an identification card, a record in the national registry or even a personal profile. It was impossible for him to buy a flight ticket.

”What's up? Everything alright?” Xiangyu asked. He could see that Chen Xiaobei was visibly frustrated.

”Everything's fine! I have to make a call to ask about something first!”

In order not to let Xiangyu down, he called the Green Vine Little Elf. Through his First Love Peach business, Chen Xiaobei found out that there was nothing that Wu Junfan could not achieve in Green Vine City – thus, the nickname.

”Xiaobei? How can I help?” Wu Junfan asked as soon as he picked up.

”I need your help.” Chen Xiaobei went straight to the ”My friend is heading to Dragon City with me but he lost his identification card and his household registration booklet. Do you have a way to get him on a plane?”

”What a coincidence, my private jet is heading to Dragon City as well! Come to the airport now; I'll ask the officer to skip the security procedures!”

”That's awesome! You're the best Green Vine Little Elf! I'll treat you to something nice when we return to Green Vine City!” Chen Xiaobei said excitedly.

”Save it. Please help me take care of Mengchen!” Wu Junfan suddenly added.

”Mengchen? What'd you mean?” Chen Xiaobei asked, puzzled.

”Mengchen is taking the private jet to Dragon City too! However, Uncle Lan is dealing with something outside the country while I have some urgent matters as well! I was worried about letting Lan Mengchen travel alone to Dragon City so I'm glad that you were incidentally heading for Dragon City as well! Just take care of her!” Wu said.

”Hehe! You're such a generous man, creating a golden opportunity for your love rival!” Chen Xiaobei said cheerfully.

”I'm not a narrow-minded person; I'm willing to do anything to make sure that Mengchen is protected. Also, it's just a one-time thing and I don't believe you could ever take her away from me. You don't' scare me!”

”Sure! Anyway, time to stop dicking around – I can't wait to meet my goddess at the airport! Bye!” Chen Xiaobei grinned and packed lightly. He then rushed to the airport immediately, with Xiangyu in tow. They were treated like VIPs when they arrived; the entire boarding process went a lot smoother than expected!

Inside the private jet.

Lan Mengchen held her chin with her fair and elegant hands, staring at nothing in particular.

”Captain, isn't it time to take off? Why are we still here?” She asked lazily and almost reluctantly – as if she had been forced to travel to Dragon City against her will.
