Chapter 1705: Unequal Love

"What are you doing?"

Zirui was startled by the sudden interruption.

Bai Manman was flustered and stammered an explanation: "I wanted to make you comfortable, to make your neck feel a bit better."

After all, she was his fiancée; although Zirui felt disgusted, he didn't want to show it too obviously.

"No need, take it away, thank you." Zirui was polite yet distant, and after saying this, he ignored her.

So she took it away, feeling rather awkward.

At this moment, the flight attendants on the plane began distributing drinks to everyone; everyone had one in front of them... no, wait, Zirui didn't, and the flight attendant hadn't asked him either.

The reason she didn't ask was because the flight attendant had been notified beforehand not to disturb the Chairman while he was reviewing documents; this was Sheng Zirui's habit.

Actually, Bai Manman knew about Zirui's habit of being focused, but her heart was so set on him right now that she had forgotten about it.

She saw the flight attendant bypass Zirui and ask everyone else, and while she felt dissatisfied inside, she didn't remind her!

Zirui was her fiancé, so it was only right that she take care of him.

The flight attendant reached Bai Manman and asked her: "Hello, Miss, what would you like to drink?"

She took out this year's new tea from her bag, West Lake Longjing, which was top-quality Longjing tea.

She handed the tea canister to the flight attendant and said: "Use eighty-five-degree water, please."

Eighty-five degrees is the best temperature for brewing West Lake Longjing.

If the temperature is too high, it easily ruins the tea's aroma, and if it is too low, it is hard to brew properly, preventing the tea's aroma from fully developing.

"Certainly."

The flight attendant smiled as she took the tea canister, but just as she was about to leave, she was called back.

"Wait, use this cup."

She had even brought her own cup.

Soon, the flight attendant brought the brewed tea over; she took it, then tiptoed over to Zirui's side and gently placed the teacup on his right side.

She had thought it out well: when Zirui was tired from reading, he would pick it up and take a sip, and he would surely change his impression of her and praise her for being sensible and considerate.

Slowly, the relationship between the two would gradually warm up, and eventually, they would be in perfect harmony.

The idea was good, but reality often has a gap from ideas, and the gap is not small.

Zirui was reading very intently and didn't notice Bai Manman coming over at all, let alone her action of placing the teacup.

He happened to finish a page and was preparing to turn it.

As he turned the page, he felt something extra by his hand, and immediately after, there was a "clatter" sound as the teacup shattered into pieces.

"Ah!"

Bai Manman exclaimed; her voice was louder than the sound of the teacup breaking.

The tea splashed onto Zirui's leather shoes and pant legs; although it wasn't enough to cause a burn, a large stain appeared on his light-colored suit trousers.

She hurriedly rummaged through her suitcase, looking for clothes.

Zirui was furious; having been interrupted time and again, even with the best temper, it was hard not to lose his cool.

Moreover, he didn't have a good temper to begin with.

"Who put the teacup there? What is going on?" He had just had an idea and was preparing to write it down when the sound of the shattering teacup interrupted him.

The Confidential Secretary sternly scolded the flight attendant: "I gave instructions that you were not to come and disturb the Chairman while he was looking at documents. Are you hard of hearing, or do you not want to work anymore?"

The flight attendant hurriedly explained: "It wasn't me who put it there; that lady asked for the tea, and she was the one who placed it by the Chairman's hand."

By this time, Bai Manman had already opened her suitcase.

She was too anxious and forgot which suitcase she had put the suit she prepared for Zirui in; she opened one and it wasn't there, so she opened a second one.

The already cramped space became even more crowded and cluttered because she had opened two suitcases.

When she realized the flight attendant was pointing at her, she hurriedly stood up and turned around.

She turned too quickly, her left foot tripped over her right, and since she was already unsteady and there was a suitcase blocking her in front, Bai Manman lost her balance and fell onto the suitcase with a cry.

With the momentum, the suitcase slid forward and "bang" hit the corner of the table; Bai Manman was flailing in a panic and happened to grab the Confidential Secretary's skirt. The secretary tried to brush her hand away, but in doing so, she knocked into the documents on the table.

The documents fell, landing right in the tea, and were completely ruined.

Though it sounds slow, in reality, all of this happened very quickly, but Zirui took it all in!

The thing he wanted to do most right now was to open the cabin door and throw Bai Manman off the plane.

Of course, this was unrealistic, but if Bai Manman could read the room at all, she should have immediately hidden far away; disappearing from Zirui's sight was the wisest choice.

However, she did not do that.

She climbed up from the floor, clutching a navy blue master-tailored suit from the suitcase, and handed it to Zirui, fawning: "Zirui, your suit is dirty; this is one I prepared for you."

Zirui:...

It wasn't just him; everyone was speechless.

Everyone wondered why the wise Chairman would arrange for such a woman to accompany him.

"Get out!"

Zirui could no longer bear it and squeezed the words through his teeth.

"I know, you change your clothes and I'll get out immediately; wearing dirty clothes is uncomfortable..."

She didn't realize what she had done wrong and was still chattering on, obsessing over this trivial matter.

Zirui growled: "Can you stop talking? Don't let me see you again, now, immediately, right away."

If she didn't leave, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop himself from hitting someone.

"Okay, don't be angry..."

"Get out!"

"Mm."

She retreated and curled up in her seat, trying her best not to attract attention, not daring to make a sound, looking as pitiful as a little kitten.

Fortunately, there was a backup of the documents; the Secretary took out a new copy, and Zirui continued to read.

Country L.

The plane finally landed, and Qi Shishi led her subordinates to wait outside in person to welcome them.

She was dressed in a military uniform, looking heroic and spirited; her long hair had been cut into a short style, making her appear even neater and more agile.

It was just that she had lost a lot of weight since returning from Jiangzhou last time.

The two locked eyes, and Qi Shishi was stunned!

She had not expected that the representative sent by Jiangzhou would actually be Zirui; her heart suddenly jumped, skipping a beat.

When Zirui saw Qi Shishi, his eyes lit up.

Finally seeing the person who haunted his dreams and whom he thought of day and night standing right in front of him was a very happy thing!

He had come this time not only to see her but also to know whether she was doing well.

She seemed to be doing alright, but she had thinned out quite a bit; she must have been very tired lately, not eating or resting well.

As for Bai Manman, who was following behind Zirui, her heart kept sinking and sinking when she saw Qi Shishi.

She was not a fool; she had seen the look in both of their eyes.

The way Zirui looked at Qi Shishi was so gentle, a gentleness he had never shown anyone else, and the way the woman looked at Zirui was also different from how she looked at others.

She began to feel a very strong sense of crisis.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two had many things to say, even if it was just ordinary greetings.

Zirui: "Are you doing well?"

Shi Shi: "I am doing well, and you?"

Zirui: "I..."

He did not continue, and Qi Shishi smiled: "I heard you are engaged? You brought your fiancée with you this time."
