Chapter 102 - Mister Zhang, I’m Rooting For You! (1/2)
Li Qin Yao was helping Han Yue Xiu to pack her bags when her phone rang. She put a bag of toiletries into the luggage before she stood up to pick up her phone. A glint of light flashed in her eyes as she saw the caller's name. She brushed a finger on the screen and pressed her phone to her ears. ”Hello?”
”Li Qin Yao, good morning.”
Zhang Yu Han's voice sounded rich and deeper on the other line. It made her ears turned red and slightly itchy. Li Qin Yao bit on her lips as she pondered if she perhaps had a fetish towards this type of voice. Why did she always felt like shrinking her neck and curling her toes whenever she heard his voice?
”Hello?”
Li Qin Yao snapped out of her thoughts and cleared her throat. ”Hello. Sorry,” she stood up quickly and walked over to the window in the hope that the morning air would be able to make her calmer. ”I was in the middle of something. Well, good morning to you too.”
”Are you going back to B City this morning?”
”En,” Li Qin Yao nodded.
”Then, I will come and pick you up later,” Zhang Yu Han said.
”Alright,” she nodded again. She heard a movement behind her and turned around to see Han Yue Xiu picking up a few more stuff and put it in the bag. ”Wait. Zhang Yu Han?”
”Hmm?”
”Could you hold on for a few seconds?” Once she heard he made a sound to agree, Li Qin Yao pulled away from the phone from her ears and placed her palm around the phone as if to block Zhang Yu Han from hearing her speak. ”Yue Xiu, did you get someone to drive you to the airport yet?”
Han Yue Xiu looked at her friend in a puzzle before she shook her head. ”No. It is hard to get a driver around this time, but I'll keep trying. Surely someone will answer soon.”
Li Qin Yao pressed her phone back to her ears. ”Hello? You're still there?”
”I'm here.”
Li Qin Yao saw that Han Yue Xiu was busy looking at her phone to find a driver to drive her to the airport and heaved a sigh in relief.
Last night, after the two friends had a long chat, Han Yue Xiu pulled out her laptop to look at the flight. In an impulse, she decided to book a flight in the morning.
Han Yue Xiu had predicted that once she did not show up at work this morning, Song Yi would definitely come over to look for her. It was best if she started to flee before that happened. Han Yue Xiu then joked that perhaps the one who would come and barge at her door later would not be her boss, but his girlfriend!
”Zhang Yu Han, do you think you can give me a lift to the airport today?”
Zhang Yu Han was happy that Li Qin Yao had thought of him when she needed help, but as he listened to her request, a frown appeared on his face. ”The airport? You're going somewhere?”
”Not me. But Han Yue Xiu. She's going to S Country to visit her parents. Her flight is this morning but we couldn't book a cab this morning. Maybe we could give her a lift to the airport before we head to the office?”
The frown on Zhang Yu Han's face gradually disappeared, and his lips curved into a stunning smile. Zhang Yu Han found that he quite like the way Li Qin Yao had unintentionally referred them as 'we.'
