Chapter 443

Shu Xia did not feel right refusing the red envelope given by her elder, so she accepted it directly.

She planned to buy some jewelry later to give to Qiao Nainai.

While waiting at the airport, Qiao Muting called.

"Are you at the airport?"

"Yes, I'm already waiting; there are thirty minutes until boarding."

"Good. I have some things to attend to today and can't go to the airport. Zhang Tezhu will take you to the hotel first."

Just as Qiao Muting finished speaking, Shu Xia vaguely heard a woman's voice, softly and tenderly calling Qiao Muting's name.

She didn't call him by his full name.

Instead, she called him Mu Ting.

Shu Xia's gaze flickered slightly; after she replied with a "good," she ended the call.

To be able to call him Mu Ting so intimately and naturally, their relationship must not be simple.

Are they friends?

After a moment of stunned silence, Shu Xia put the thought away.

No matter who is around him, she has no need to delve into it.

——

The few hours on the plane passed quickly.

Shu Xia slept for as long as the flight lasted.

If the sound of the plane landing hadn't startled her awake, she might have continued sleeping.

She got off the plane feeling sleepy.

When she pushed her luggage out, she saw Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu was wearing a tank top and loose shorts, looking very casual, completely different from his usual urban elite self.

"Miss Shu, you've been on the plane for several hours, are you tired? Are you hungry? The boss said if Miss Shu is tired, go straight to the hotel, and if you're hungry, I'll take Miss Shu to eat." Zhang Tezhu looked exceptionally relaxed.

Although he said he was following the boss on a business trip, he was actually here for a vacation.

It was as comfortable as it could possibly be.

Walking out of the airport, a warm breeze blew against her face, and she felt much more relaxed.

"Let's go eat."

She had slept the whole time on the plane and hadn't eaten anything at all, so she was truly a bit hungry now.

"Alright, we'll go right now. I'm very familiar with this place; I come here almost every year. Would Miss Shu like to try the local specialties?" Zhang Tezhu asked.

"Sure." Shu Xia felt a sense of anticipation.

Since she was here, she had to taste the local specialties.

Zhang Tezhu looked at Shu Xia through the rearview mirror.

From the moment he picked her up until now, Miss Shu hadn't mentioned the boss once.

Could it be that she didn't want to know what the boss was doing?

Shu Xia looked at the scenery along the road through the car window.

K City is a coastal city, and the seawater is very beautiful.

It is a peak tourist season all year round.

Seeing many girls outside wearing all kinds of long dresses, Shu Xia also felt expectant; she had brought several long dresses herself.

Zhang Tezhu observed carefully and could be completely certain that Shu Xia was truly here for a vacation.

When he was booking the flight tickets, he had thought that the relationship between Shu Xia and the boss had taken a step forward and that they were currently inseparable, which was why Shu Xia had chased after him.

As for coming here for a vacation, he hadn't believed it at all before.

"The boss should come to see Miss Shu tomorrow," Zhang Tezhu said.

Shu Xia nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Zhang Tezhu really couldn't understand it now; he couldn't figure out the situation—did Shu Xia care about the boss or not?

Not long after they arrived at a restaurant and sat down, while waiting for the food to be served, Qiao Muting called Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu reported their location to Qiao Muting.

After hanging up, he said to Shu Xia, "The boss will be here in about thirty minutes."

Shu Xia was a bit surprised, "Doesn't he have things to attend to? Doesn't he have time today?"
