Chapter 176 Distracting the Two Beauties, Secretly Meeting with the Flight Attendant

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, lazily splashing across the carpet as the clock hand just slid past half-past two.

Chu Feifei was the first to sit up, rubbing her eyes, her fluffy hair sticking messily to her cheeks.

She let out a massive stretch, her voice still carrying the lazy rasp of someone who had just woken up.

"Ugh, that nap was way too comfortable. My whole body feels like jelly."

Beside her, Shen Nian also slowly opened her eyes, her slender hands gently rubbing her lower back.

She shot a reproachful glance at Lin Chen, who was leaning against the headboard, her tone laced with a hint of coquettish resentment.

"Yeah, it's all that stinky Lin Chen's fault. He kept me busy for so long that my back is still aching. It's killing me."

Lin Chen scratched his head, wearing a grin that was both honest and a bit smug, though a hint of urgency was hidden deep in his eyes.

He had to get rid of Chu Feifei and Shen Nian quickly.

"Good to see you're awake."

Lin Chen cleared his throat and spoke with feigned seriousness, trying to keep his tone as steady as possible.

"I need to tell you both something. My schedule for tonight and tomorrow is completely packed with work. It's all urgent business for the company I just registered, and I can't get away."

"Why don't you two head back to Hong Kong this afternoon? I'll definitely make it to Hong Kong on the 7th, and then the three of us can head back to Star City together."

As soon as he said this, Chu Feifei immediately furrowed her brows.

A woman's sixth sense flared up instantly. She shifted toward the edge of the bed,

staring Lin Chen up and down with a questioning tone.

"How come?"

"Why are you in such a rush to send us away?"

"We can play on our own in Macau while you do your work. It's not like we'd be in your way, so why do we have to leave right now!"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat instantly.

"Crap!"

"This is not going according to plan at all!"

"Why isn't this girl following the script!"

His mind raced, but he didn't dare show any weakness on his face. His eyes darted nervously toward Shen Nian,

his gaze filled with the desperate hope of 'Save me' and 'Help me smooth this over.'

He was just a step away from outright begging for backup.

Shen Nian saw right through Lin Chen's little scheme and felt secretly amused.

This boy definitely had some private business he didn't want them to know about.

However, she didn't expose him. Instead, she felt it was a good time to show her mature and considerate side.

She gently patted Chu Feifei's hand and smiled to smooth things over.

"Alright, Feifei, we've been playing in Macau for three days now. We've seen most of the sights and eaten most of the food."

"On the other hand, there are still several viral spots in Hong Kong we haven't visited yet."

"Let's just listen to Lin Chen and book the ferry tickets to Hong Kong for this afternoon. I've already looked at the flights for the 7th; we can all leave together once he arrives."

After saying that, she pointedly winked her large eyes at Lin Chen,

sending him a look that said, 'Don't worry, leave it to me.'

And naturally, she meant: I'll see how you thank me later.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief as a weight was lifted from his chest. He quickly chimed in.

"Yes! Exactly! Let's do as Niannian says. She's the most sensible!"

Chu Feifei unhappily grabbed Shen Nian's arm and shook it, her little mouth pouting.

"Sister, why do you listen to him so much!"

"I think he's deliberately trying to get rid of us. He's probably planning to secretly pick up girls in Macau!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately put on an aggrieved yet sincere expression and blurted out:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Who in this world is prettier than you two? Is my taste really that bad?"

{pickup artist technique: For the sake of my goals, I must lie boldly.}

"Besides, my legs are like jelly right now and I don't even have the strength to walk. How could I have the energy for anything else!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Chu Feifei's cheeks turned beet red. Feeling the heat, she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to say another word.

She didn't have the face to bring up what happened last night again, so she could only give Lin Chen a secret pinch.

Afraid she would ask more questions, Lin Chen quickly added:

"By the way, I just transferred five hundred thousand to each of you. Take it to buy some bags and jewelry, spend it however you like."

Chu Feifei lifted her flushed face and teased him on purpose.

"Oh? So generous?"

"Does this mean the two of us are being kept by you?"

Lin Chen immediately stopped smiling and put on a mock-serious face, correcting her solemnly.

"Stop talking such nonsense!"

"This is called a gift of love. It's because I care about you both, understand?"

"Don't say things like that if you don't know how to talk."

His serious demeanor actually made Chu Feifei burst into laughter.

She gave him a playful punch.

"Fine, I get it! You smooth talker!"

After finally coaxing the two of them to pack their bags, Lin Chen personally escorted them to the pier.

He only breathed a sigh of relief once he saw the boat sail away.

Without even returning to the hotel, he immediately pulled out his phone to hail a taxi and rushed toward the Macau airport in a hurry.

Luckily, his timing was perfect, and there wasn't a single delay.

He thought to himself: Finally, I've sent those two little ancestors away. Now I can relax.

Just as he entered the airport arrivals hall, he saw a striking figure walking toward him.

It was Qin Shu.

She was dressed in a standard Flight Attendant uniform, the tight-fitting blouse accentuating her curvaceous figure.

Her impressive curves were particularly eye-catching, and beneath the navy blue mini-skirt,

her long, straight legs were dazzlingly fair. Her long hair was pinned up, and her makeup was exquisite.

She walked with the elegant efficiency unique to Flight Attendants.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up instantly, and his pace faltered for a moment as a bunch of little ideas popped into his head.

With a wicked grin tugging at the corners of his mouth, he immediately waved and called out:

"Qin Shu! I'm over here!"

"I'm staying at the MGM tonight and the Grand Lisboa Palace tomorrow."

"It just so happens I have no one to hang out with here."

"You said before that you wanted to thank me, so why don't you spend two days exploring the city with me?"

"I've already booked a room for you."

Qin Shu smiled.

"Is that so? In that case, it would be hard for me to refuse."

By the time they reached the hotel, it was exactly dinner time.

The two of them sat at the dining table, chatting as they ate.

"What about you?"

Lin Chen asked.

"How long have you been in this line of work?"

Qin Shu said, "I joined the airline right after graduating from university."

"Three years."

"Do you often run into situations like the one last time?"

She was silent for a moment before nodding.

"I run into them to some extent."

She said, "Some people just feel that because they paid for a ticket, the Flight Attendants have to go along with whatever they want."

"Touching a hand or patting a shoulder—they think it's a small matter and you shouldn't be bothered by it."

"If you do care, they say you're making a mountain out of a molehill."

Her tone was very flat, as if she were describing something completely ordinary.

"That guy from the other day was actually okay."

She said, "At least he didn't try to hit me. I've encountered much worse."

"And then?"

"Then?"

She gave a small smile.

"Then I smile and apologize, saying I'm sorry sir for the trouble, then I go to the back galley and cry for a bit."

"After that, I touch up my makeup and come back out to continue smiling."

The dessert arrived. She pushed the Double-Skin Milk Pudding in front of him.

"Try it."

Lin Chen took a spoonful.

It was indeed delicious, with a rich milky flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.

"It's good," he said.

She smiled and lowered her head to eat her own Ginger Milk Pudding.

The two of them ate in silence for a while before she suddenly looked up.

"When you blocked that hit for me the other day, it was actually quite risky."

She said, "If he had really started a fight, you might have gotten hurt."

"I'm young, I can take a hit."

Lin Chen said.

She was amused: "You're a really interesting person."

"Is that a compliment?"

"It's a compliment."

After finishing their dessert, the two of them walked back along the street.

"Lin Chen."

Qin Shu called his name.

"Hmm?"

"Are you free tomorrow?"

(Thanks to everyone for the tips.)
