Chapter 382: Seeing off a rival in love at the airport

She asked Shi Liu to drive the car further away; Jian Yixin and the others had all arrived, and she suddenly didn't want to see Sheng Hanyu.

If these people saw her, they would definitely tease her, and she would feel embarrassed.

Shi Youxuan wanted to sneak in, hide and watch them, and wait until they had left before going out to say a few words to Sheng Hanyu.

So she really did just that, specifically choosing to walk where there were many people so as not to be discovered.

The flight to L Country was waiting at the fifth departure lounge, and Shi Youxuan quietly circled to the billboard nearby to hide.

This spot was very concealed; she could clearly see the group from this position, but the airport was crowded and noisy, so she couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Although she couldn't hear very clearly, she could still hear a little.

They seemed to be talking about her.

Saying things like "don't let Xuanxuan know," "keep in touch," and "maintain a good relationship."

Shi Youxuan was puzzled: what was it that they didn't want her to know?

But she wasn't puzzled for long; when she noticed a commotion at the entrance and Wang Bingbing appeared surrounded by a crowd, she understood almost everything.

So they had an appointment with Wang Bingbing?

They were flying off together like a pair of lovebirds, and she had foolishly come to see them off?

She hated herself for being stupid, for being sentimental, and for asking for trouble!

Shi Youxuan prepared to return the way she came, but she had only walked a few steps when she was discovered by Jian Yining.

"Xuanxuan—" he shouted loudly.

Oh no, she had been discovered.

Shi Youxuan wanted to pretend she hadn't heard and quickened her pace to walk forward, not wanting to run head-on into Wang Bingbing; what a small world!

Wang Bingbing had someone block her path and said with a smile, "Miss Shi, your friend is calling you, why are you ignoring him?"

"Does it concern you? Move aside."

She glared fiercely at Wang Bingbing; although this woman was smiling, her eyes were full of malice.

Shi Youxuan wanted to go around from the side, but that woman acted as if she were specifically working against her, blocking her and not letting her pass.

She even made small talk: "Why is Miss Shi in such a hurry? Do you need help?"

"I don't need it, move aside quickly..."

"Hey, you seem to be hiding from someone; who are you hiding from?" Wang Bingbing was deliberately giving her trouble, and the more anxious she saw her, the more she refused to let her go.

Shi Youxuan saw that she was doing it on purpose, so she simply stopped hiding and threatened: "Wang Bingbing, is your foot injury healed? Yesterday you were still acting like you were dying, and now that you're perfectly fine so quickly, aren't you afraid of being discovered by someone and having the image you worked so hard to build destroyed in an instant?"

"OK."

Wang Bingbing raised her hands with a smile: "I can't afford to offend you, so I'll just stay out of your way, alright? Don't be angry, that was just a joke."

She cleared the path, but it was already too late.

Jian Yining had come over, along with Jian Yixin; the two siblings had come together.

"What are you running for? Even a thief wouldn't run as fast as you." Jian Yixin would never pass up any opportunity to strike at her.

Shi Youxuan glared back without showing any weakness: "You've been a thief, so you have experience?"

Jian Yixin ignored her further; the two of them greeted Wang Bingbing, and then, without a word, grabbed her by the left and right and pulled her toward where Sheng Hanyu was staying.

"Hey, let go of me, what are you two doing?" Shi Youxuan began to struggle, though the intensity of her struggle wasn't very great.

Jian Yixin: "What do you think? Taking you to see the person you want to see."

She immediately denied it: "What nonsense are you spouting? I came to the airport to see someone off, I've already finished and was preparing to go back, there's no one I want to see."

Jian Yining: "Are you sure? Besides us, do you know anyone else in Jiangzhou?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She finally understood what it meant to have friends stab you in the back; it meant friends stabbing you twice, accurately and ruthlessly!

"Hey, don't talk like that, don't I have any dignity?" Shi Youxuan protested.

Jian Yixin: "Shi Youxuan, just stop putting on an act; all your thoughts are written on your face."

She thought to herself, have I been that obvious?

Whether it was obvious or not was no longer important; the Jian siblings had already brought her in front of Sheng Hanyu.

Then the few of them quietly stepped back.

"I didn't expect you to come to see me off, thank you," Sheng Hanyu said in gratitude.

Shi Youxuan lowered her head, kicking the smooth floor with the tip of her Spring Shoes; she wanted to deny it, and she wanted to use the excuse from just a moment ago to say she was here to see a friend off and that the friend had already left, and other such nonsense.

But after hesitating for a long while, she didn't say it.

She herself had to admit that the excuse was too lame.

Jian Yining was right; besides them, she really didn't have any other friends in Jiangzhou!

"You're welcome, there's no need for you and me to say thank you." Her voice was very small, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

This was a line Sheng Hanyu used to say to her often; not only did she not feel anything, but sometimes she would even deliberately thank him to annoy him!

Didn't he want to show that the two of them had a close relationship?

Then she would deliberately keep her distance and not let him have his way.

However, now that the distance was truly great, Shi Youxuan felt empty inside again.

Sheng Hanyu said solemnly: "It is necessary to thank you; this is the most basic courtesy."

Shi Youxuan:...

She looked up and glared at him.

That jerk Sheng Hanyu, using her own lines to annoy her; how could this man be like this? So petty.

Shi Youxuan was a hypocrite; when she said that to others, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, but when the other party returned her words exactly as they were, she couldn't accept it.

"By the way, are you satisfied with Shi Liu and Fang Jie? If you're not satisfied, I'll change them for you." He avoided her burning gaze and changed the subject.

Shi Youxuan said, "I'm quite satisfied, no need to change."

She paused, then said deliberately, "Especially with Shi Liu; he's particularly satisfactory. He's smart and has good judgment, and most importantly, he's handsome. It's very prestigious to take him out."

She was doing it on purpose; Sheng Hanyu was a huge vinegar jar, and she knew he wouldn't be able to stand her praising another man in front of him.

Who would have thought that Sheng Hanyu's reaction this time would once again exceed Shi Youxuan's expectations.

He gave a faint "Oh" and said nonchalantly, "The young man is indeed quite good, and he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

Shi Youxuan:...

She was furious. She had intended to anger Sheng Hanyu, but ended up infuriating herself enough to lose her temper: "Sheng Hanyu, what do you mean? Are you introducing a bodyguard or a boyfriend to me? Are you afraid that I won't be able to get married and will cling to you, affecting your search for someone young and beautiful, right?"

"Don't think I can't see through your little schemes. Someone introduced a girlfriend to you, and you're afraid that I and our daughter will affect your happiness, so you found me a Shi Liu to quickly distance yourself from me..."

The more Shi Youxuan spoke, the angrier she became, and she even threatened to fire Shi Liu immediately; she wouldn't let him get his way!

This woman's hot-headed, explosive appearance was still exactly the same as before.

Although there was no expression on Sheng Hanyu's face, he was blooming with joy inside.

This woman had fallen for it!

A good sign.

Heaven knows how much he wanted to pull her into his arms right now and tell her not to overthink things, that he would never introduce a boyfriend to her—not in this lifetime.

It was true that Shi Liu didn't have a girlfriend, but he did have a boyfriend he intended to spend his life with!

However, Sheng Hanyu wouldn't tell her these things, at least not right now.

He kept a faint expression on his face and asked if she was finished speaking.

If not, she could continue, but please keep the volume down; the airport was crowded, and it would have a bad influence.

Sorrow welled up in Shi Youxuan's heart, and her mood hit rock bottom.

He was afraid of a bad influence?

He was probably afraid that her making a scene here would affect his future girlfriend, right?

Right, Wang Bingbing had come too; why talk about the future, he already had a whole pile of backups, and if she stepped aside, someone would fill the spot immediately.

"I'm done, I'm leaving. I wish you a smooth journey!"

Shi Youxuan fought back her tears, and after saying this, she turned and ran.

She could not shed tears in front of Sheng Hanyu; Shi Youxuan had to maintain her final dignity, her final stubbornness!

"Hey, come back!" Sheng Hanyu shouted at her from behind.

She stopped, her heart thumping like a little deer; she reckoned she was already suffering from arrhythmia.

In a flash, Shi Youxuan thought of so, so many things.

Why did he call her back?

Was he going to confess?

Had he been faking it these past few days?

She wasn't stupid; Sheng Hanyu had been so good to her usually, and his sudden change in attitude couldn't rule out the possibility of playing hard to get!
