Chapter 125: Not a Single Gentleman's Manner
Several colleagues stood at the door, sighing quietly.

"Phantom Rolls-Royce! Las Vegas truly is a city saturated with the smell of money."

"It seems to be a limited edition. There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more like me?"

"I pray that I'll be reborn into a good family in my next life, so I can lie down and have money to spend."

Shen Guining knew whose car it was just by looking at the license plate.

It's strange. Qu Yanci clearly has a manor here, so why is he staying in a hotel?

The van that was dropping people off at the airport had already arrived at the roadside. The group leader counted the number of people and called everyone to get on the van.

Shen Guining had only taken a few steps pushing her suitcase when someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

"Miss Shen, please wait a moment."

She stopped and turned around.

I recognized her at a glance; she was the girl who stood next to Qu Yanci yesterday. She was wearing a color-blocked printed dress, the latest runway style from Milan Fashion Week. She had a sweet appearance and voice, which wasn't deliberately affected, making her hard to dislike.

Xia Yao walked over to her and asked, "Are you going back to China?"

Shen Guining was puzzled.

“Hmm…” Xia Yao explained, “It’s like this, I often see your dance videos online, and I especially love your stage plays, but I’ve never had the chance to see them live, so I wanted to ask if your next performance will be in Beijing.”

"The troupe hasn't made a decision yet, so I'm not sure either. You can keep an eye on the official website for updates," Shen Guining said.

“Okay, then I’ll go with my cousin if I have the chance.” After saying that, Xia Yao added, “My cousin is Qu Yanci.”

Shen Guining asked in surprise, "He's your cousin?"

"Hmm, otherwise do you think I'm his girlfriend?" Xia Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling, and the dimple on her right lip appearing and disappearing. "He dislikes troublemakers like me the most. He always complains that I'm too much of a fuss. Of course, I can't stand his aloofness and impatience either."

If she didn't need his help, she wouldn't have to be so subservient.

Shen Guining gripped the suitcase handle tightly, her recently composed thoughts thrown into disarray once more.

"Sister Gui Ning, we should go." Yu Ting turned back and called to her.

Xia Yao quickly said, "I'm sorry to bother you. We'll meet again sometime."

Shen Guining nodded. After Xia Yao left, Yu Ting asked curiously, "Sister Guining, who was that beautiful woman just now? Do you know anyone here?"

"I didn't know her. She asked me where my next performance was."

"Turns out they're fans."

Shen Guining didn't think of her as a fan.

Those words seemed to be intended to clarify things.

So she didn't understand why.

She and Qu Yanci had already broken up, so even if it was a misunderstanding, there was no need to explain anything to her.

Xia Yao waited for Qu Yanci to come down at the elevator entrance.

She dared not rush them and waited for ten minutes before they finally arrived.

"Cousin, I've already explained to my wife. Don't forget what you promised me: the aquamarine necklace at the auction."

The way she addressed her was perfectly natural.

Qu Yanci gave a faint "hmm".

"Thank you, cousin!" Xia Yao suppressed her smile. "Everyone's gone. If you'd come down earlier, you would have seen them too."

Qu Yanci didn't reply and walked towards the door.

Xia Yao followed him, "Cousin, when are you going back to Beijing?"

Qu Yanci has long legs and big strides. She walked with some difficulty in high heels, and the sound of her footsteps on the floor was crisp.

"how?"

"My school is on holiday, can I ride back with you on your private plane?"

"Something came up, I'll be back in a couple of days."

"Okay, then I'll just buy my own plane ticket and go back."

Xia Yao stopped and watched the man walk away before daring to mutter under her breath, "He has no manners at all. How did he even find a girlfriend?"

P.S.: Happy New Year! Wishing everyone all the best and happiness every day!
