America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

"Ha ha……"

Catherine chuckled. Having just finished showering and removing her makeup, her usually glamorous and elegant face looked much fresher and more youthful. She pursed her red lips and asked, "Guess?"

Is there a prize for guessing correctly?

"No."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoen's probing expression quickly faded. Ignoring the other person, he turned and walked into the bathroom on his own.

However, just as I stepped into the bathroom, I was patted on the back and shoulder with a crisp sound.

It didn't hurt much. Li Xiaoen silently turned around and looked at Catherine, who had just put her hand down.

"Humph……"

With a cheerful and smug hum, Catherine turned and walked towards her cabin, leaving behind a dashing silhouette.

"..."

Shaking his head, Li Xiaoen didn't press the matter and turned to step into the bathroom.

While it is said that there is an in-flight shower service, one cannot freely and casually manage time on an airplane as one would at home or in a hotel; each passenger has a set time limit.

It's supposed to be enjoyable, but with strict restrictions, the experience naturally won't be great. Anyway, it's just a formality. Li Xiaoen quickly washed up and left, with a few minutes left before his personal time limit expired.

After drying his hair in the bathroom, Li Xiaoen turned and left, returning to the corridor outside his cabin. He tilted his head, then walked one more cabin in, stopping in front of Catherine's cabin and knocking on the door.

"Who?"

Catherine's cautious voice came from inside.

"I am your boss."

Li Xiaoen gave a simple answer.

There was a moment of silence in the room before Catherine's voice came through.

"Is there something you need? If not, don't bother me. I worked overtime until midnight yesterday and I'm very tired. I need to rest..."

After she finished speaking, Catherine, who was sitting on the bed in her cabin, opened her eyes wide and listened carefully to the sounds outside the door. Unfortunately, she did not hear any reply or footsteps, and her heart began to pound.

Having learned from her previous experience, she carefully checked her pajama bottoms while showering. There were still two large handprints of the young man on her thighs. Before coming back, she had slapped Li Xiaoen, and now she was afraid that her thighs would suffer again.

It was still quiet outside the cabin door. After much deliberation, she tentatively got out of bed and opened the cabin door a crack.

However, just as the gap appeared, before she could even glance outside, a large hand grabbed the hatch from the outside, forcibly preventing her from moving.

Looking up, Catherine caught her breath and her eyes widened as she met Sean Lee's dark gaze.

"Here is...your boss..."

Li Xiaoen shouted out in the tone of the movie, and Catherine's already stiff body trembled. She let out a scream in panic, turned around, jumped onto the bed, and pulled the covers over herself.

"..."

"Are you really that serious?"

The voice was so high-pitched that Li Xiaoen quickly looked to both sides of the corridor. Seeing that no flight attendants or air marshals were coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the cabin with a wry smile, closing the door behind him.

"Sean, what...what are you going to do?"

This action made Catherine tremble again, and she hurriedly spoke in a panic.

"Don't be nervous. Do I look scary? Do I look like a bad guy?"

Li Xiaoen shrugged. "I think I look even more handsome after taking a shower. Your sense of aesthetics is questionable..."

These words provoked a glare from Catherine, but Li Xiaon ignored it, shifted his feet, and looked out the small window of his cabin. The view was similar to that of his cabin, and he immediately lost interest. He straightened up and looked at the startled Catherine, and then laughed in exasperation.

"Why were you so arrogant in the bathroom? Now that I've found you, you're behaving like this?"

She opened her mouth, gradually recovering from the shock, and without saying much, turned her head to the other side.

Li Xiaoen narrowed his eyes, moved closer to the bed, and bent down to sit on the edge of the bed.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Catherine shifted her position on the bed, then suddenly shrank to the corner.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Li Xiaoen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I came here just to tell you something."

"Since you look so beautiful after your bath, I'll forgive your terrible act of hitting someone without permission."

"..."

After these words were spoken, there was a long silence in the cabin. Even Catherine, who had her hands in front of her in a defensive posture, was stunned.

"asshole!"

With a curse, anger rising in her heart, Catherine disregarded the possibility of being caught and tormented by the young man again, and kicked him with her feet hidden under the covers.

"Hey, you just forgave me and you're already hitting me, huh?"

Li Xiaoen quickly got up from the bed and dodged him, saying, "Let me tell you, if you keep doing this, don't blame me for taking back what I just said..."

"You bastard, you made a special trip to scare people, just to say something like that?"

Catherine angrily rebuked him. The soft, loose fabric of her pajamas accentuated the contours of her chest, which heaved incessantly. As if she was truly furious, she looked around, grabbed a pillow from the bedside table, and threw it at Sean Lee.

"You bastard, you definitely did it on purpose!"

"I did it on purpose, but I deliberately came to say that to you."

With lightning speed, Li Xiaon grabbed the pillow, chuckled, and shrugged. Regardless of whether Catherine believed him or not, he continued, "If I didn't tell you, you definitely wouldn't have taken it seriously..."

Catherine opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. After thinking about it incredulously for a moment, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, now that you've finished talking, you should get some rest."

Seeing that Catherine was no longer bothering him, Sean Lee didn't bother to boast about his magnanimity. He carefully moved to place the pillow at the foot of the bed before turning around and leaving, closing the cabin door behind him.

"..."

Catherine's gaze remained fixed on Sean Lee until she stared at the empty hatch for a long while before taking a few deep breaths to suppress her frustration.

She glanced down at the pillow the young man had placed at the foot of the bed, and kicked it without hesitation.

Back in his cabin, Li Xiaoen first looked at the magazines hanging in his cabin for a while, then lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, when Li Xiaoen woke up again, he glanced at the schedule information on the screen and found that it was already around 10 p.m.

By this time, night had fallen outside, and the city lights below showed the prosperity of the area. They were almost at Doha, the capital of Qatar.

ding dong...

A ringing bell outside the cabin door pulled him back to reality. Li Xiaoen got up to open the door, expecting it to be Catherine, but it turned out to be the pretty Arab flight attendant who had brought the meal earlier. "Hello sir..."

The flight attendant looked up, her eyes sparkling. "The plane is about to arrive in Doha. Would you like some food?"

"No thanks."

Having already informed the other party of his dining plans, and wondering why they had contacted him again, Li Xiaoen smiled and shook his head, "Even if you're hungry, wouldn't it be better to enjoy some local Qatari cuisine?"

It's not uncommon for people to have one last meal before their flight arrives late at night. Moreover, the food and service in first class on luxury airlines are comparable to those in professional Western restaurants.

Furthermore, even if they pay such a high price for a first-class ticket, many people still want to enjoy the in-flight services before disembarking, in order to make sure they don't lose out.

"Sir, our airline also prepares specialties from the Middle East and Qatar."

The flight attendant smiled and nodded in reply, "You can rest assured about the taste and ingredients."

"Forget it."

Li Xiaoen laughed twice, then shook his head. "When it comes to tasting local food, I feel that freshly cooked food in the local area has the best local flavor, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the flight attendant paused for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more. Seeing her hesitant expression, Li Xiaoen frowned.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Um……"

Carefully choosing her words, the flight attendant glanced nervously at both sides of the aisle before looking down, taking out a business card from her pocket, and handing it to Li Xiaoen. "Mr. Li, this is my business card."

“I will rest for two days after this flight arrives. I know Doha very well. If you need a tour guide or someone to accompany you in Qatar, you can call me.”

After speaking in a low voice, the flight attendant blinked, bowed slightly again, turned around, pushed the food cart, and quickly left.

"..."

"So, is being handsome a problem?"

Leaning against the doorframe, Li Xiaoen glanced down at the business card in her hand, then slumped her shoulders, both amused and exasperated.

That's the reason I kept recommending him to dine there.

He had seen similar things online before, where flight attendants would attach their contact information to meals, but he never expected to actually encounter it himself.

Unfortunately, I still couldn't see it with my own eyes to see what it was like.

Thinking this, Li Xiaoen suddenly felt a little regretful. If only he had understood the flight attendant's hints earlier, he could have had a simple meal before disembarking.

Suddenly, a sound came from the next cabin. Li Xiaoen turned his head and saw that Catherine, who had been wearing pink pajamas, had changed into an office lady suit. In particular, her long legs were now encased in black stockings again, which made him widen his eyes.

Is she wearing darker stockings because she's afraid people will see the handprint on her thigh?
The thought flashed through Li Xiaoen's mind, and he felt inexplicably excited.

He quickly snapped out of his daze, looked up, and glanced at the other person's prominent chest before noticing the gaze directed at him with downcast eyes.

Following the clue, Li Xiaoen saw the business card in his hand.

"..."

"You look great in that outfit, Catherine."

Li Xiaoen casually put away the business card in his hand, smiled and raised his chin at Catherine, "But, we're going to the hotel to rest as soon as we get off the plane, and we'll discuss things with the Qatari company the next day. Isn't it unnecessary for you to change into a new outfit?"

"I don't have the habit of wearing clothes a second time without washing them."

With a simple reply, Catherine crossed her arms over her chest, making her ample bosom even more prominent. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Li Xiaoen and sneered, "Do you need to hide it? You came to Qatar on a business trip, and without Suffer and the other girls watching over you, you can't help but let loose?"

"I didn't mean that."

Li Xiaoen shrugged. "If a girl offers her her business card, wouldn't it be too upsetting for her if I refused?"

"Ah……"

Catherine immediately let out a cold laugh, as if she had heard some terrible joke. She moved her arms down from her chest and placed them on his lower abdomen, laughing so hard she couldn't stop. "So, you're a gentle gentleman after all? I didn't know that."

"Perhaps you need to train your eye for beauty?"

Li Xiaoen tilted his head, and after saying that, he was no longer willing to dwell on the topic. He turned around, went back to his cabin, and started packing his luggage.

Which flight attendant?

Catherine reluctantly entered the cabin, frowning as she asked.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Xiaoen looked up from his backpack, and seeing that Catherine didn't answer, he tentatively asked, "You want to report them to the airline?"

Only then did Catherine let out a soft hum.

"Giving your contact information to passengers without permission is against their etiquette and regulations."

"But shouldn't we avoid making someone lose their job over something like this?"

Li Xiaoen sat on the bed, slumped her shoulders, and casually pulled out the flight attendant's business card from her pocket, tore it to shreds, and threw it into a storage bag. She then began to advise, "This has nothing to do with safety or service experience, and I won't contact her, will I..."

He didn't know if Catherine had the airline's platinum card, but the flight attendant system was strict. A first-class complaint, especially one about the serious mistake of handing over contact information to a passenger, would undoubtedly affect the flight attendant's future job, regardless of the final investigation results. In severe cases, she might even be dismissed.

Catherine glanced down at the storage bag. "I remember, you have an excellent memory, you can remember everything you see..."

"Hey, isn't that a bit of a joke?"

Li Xiaoen shrugged helplessly. "So, in the end, you still question my character, don't you?"

"I only met that flight attendant once, do you think I'm that desperate?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine remained silent, only giving him a meaningful look.

"Ah……"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but laugh in anger, staring intently at her. "Catherine, if I were really that desperate, I would have dealt with you long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Catherine opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, she pursed her lips and her face darkened slightly.

"that……"

Taking out the clothes he had changed out of, Li Xiaoen looked helplessly at Catherine, "I need to change, could you please leave for a moment?"

"Please close the door when you leave, thank you."

"..."

"What do you mean?"

Watching helplessly as Catherine closed and locked the hatch, while he stood there waiting to see what was happening, Lee Sean narrowed his eyes.

"If you can say such flirtatious things, are you afraid of others seeing you change clothes?"

Catherine gave a soft snort, "What's wrong, are you shy?" (End of Chapter)
