The waiting hall was packed with people, but Jiang Momo still spotted that familiar figure at a glance.

The man was tall and straight, his body shrouded in an impenetrable silence.

It is Li Jiuyuan.

The man disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

It happened so fast that Jiang Momo almost thought she was hallucinating.

Jiang Momo thought to herself that she was really going crazy, as she kept hallucinating Li Jiuyuan.

As Gu Bai saw her expression and raised an eyebrow, he received a message on his phone.

It was sent by Li Jiuyuan:

I'm on the flight after you. Once I arrive, send me the hotel address.

Jingtailan had already sent people to make arrangements for this trip, so they just needed to follow along.

As Jiang Momo looked away, Gu Bai turned off his phone screen, pretending nothing had happened, and smiled at Jiang Momo.

Jiang Momo was extremely puzzled, but she still politely returned the greeting.

The announcement came on, the plane started moving, and looking at the ground getting further and further away from her, she felt a little emotional.

She recalled her childhood, when she lived with her grandmother in a slum in the countryside.

Now we've finally arrived in a big city. Although the journey has been arduous, we've also encountered many beautiful sights.

Unfortunately, my grandmother is so old that she has never even been on a plane.

Jiang Momo silently made up her mind that once her grandmother's illness was cured, she would take her on a plane trip to travel all over the country. The old lady had suffered all her life and deserved to enjoy her retirement.

Thinking this way, Jiang Momo decided not to let things with Li Jiuyuan bother her anymore; it was too much of a loss. She wanted to focus all her time on making money.

For myself, and for my grandmother.

It takes five hours to get from Beijing to Xiangcheng, and soon the plane enters the stratosphere.

Jiang Momo leaned back in her chair and slowly drifted off to sleep. When she opened her eyes again, the first sound she heard was Jing Tailan calling her.

"Xiao Jiang, we should pack our things and get ready to get off the plane."

Jiang Momo woke up with a dizzy and painful head.

She seemed to have had a dream about Li Jiuyuan, but she couldn't remember the details.

On the way off the plane, Gu Bai acted very gentlemanly, helping Jiang Momo and Jing Tailan carry their things.

Seeing the hand reaching out to her, Jiang Momo quickly shook her head.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, but I can manage on my own, so I won't trouble you."

Even if it's just one box, or even several more, it wouldn't be a problem for her.

Jiang Momo has been doing manual labor since she was a child, so she has the strength.

Gu Bai was quite resolute.

"Just give it to me, there's no reason to make a young girl go through all that trouble."

The main reason was that he knew very well that a pair of eyes were watching them from some unknown corner.

If he finds out he hasn't taken care of Jiang Momo, he'll be "tortured" by that pervert Li Jiuyuan.

Jing Tailan smiled and said to Jiang Momo, "Don't be afraid, just ask him to do whatever you want. I'll send someone to pick us up at the airport. Don't tire yourself out on this journey, we have a meeting tomorrow."

Since Jing Tailan had already spoken, Jiang Momo couldn't refuse any longer, but she still insisted on carrying the bag herself.

Xiangcheng is rainy and humid. As soon as the group walked out of the airport terminal, Jiang Momo accidentally stepped into a puddle on the ground.

He lost his balance and fell to the side.

And just as Gu Bai and Jing Tailan were on the opposite side, the two of them didn't have time to help Jiang Momo up.

Just when she thought she was about to have a close encounter with the earth, a pair of strong hands grabbed her wrists and lifted her up.

Recovering from her shock, Jiang Momo instinctively thanked her, "Thank you..."

With the word "you" lingering on her lips, Jiang Momo looked up and Li Yunqi's face came into view.

Li Yunqi never expected to run into Jiang Momo at the airport entrance.

He looked surprised and delighted: "Momo, what brings you here? You didn't come all this way just because you followed me, did you?"

Jiang Momo: ?

What's wrong with her? Why did she follow Li Yunqi here? Unless she's been kidnapped, Jiang Momo never wants to have anything to do with Li Yunqi in her life.

She quickly and decisively withdrew her hand.

"No, don't talk nonsense. I'm here on a business trip."

Upon seeing the man who had suddenly appeared, Gu Bai became more wary.

I already knew that Jiang Momo came to Xiangcheng to meet Li Yunqi.

Once Li Yunqi had made up his mind about this, Gu Bai saw Li Yunqi's current actions as if he were deliberately trying to provoke him.

Jiang Momo's refusal was so decisive, clearly because she was afraid of being discovered.

How could he possibly stand by and watch something like this happen so that his best friend's marriage wouldn't be ruined?

He took a step forward and stood between the two.

His voice was tinged with laughter.

"Oh, isn't this the young master of the Li family?"

He scrutinized the two men, trying to find some clues in their expressions.

However, there was nothing there.

Jiang Momo, in particular, showed no remorse whatsoever, as if there was absolutely nothing shameful about their relationship.

I never expected that Jiang Momo, who looks so innocent, would have such good acting skills.

Upon hearing the man's voice, Li Yunqi realized that there were two other people standing next to Jiang Momo.

He greeted Gu Bai, then recognized Jing Tailan, and his expression immediately became respectful.

"Mr. Jing, it's been a long time."

As a member of the Li family, Jing Tailan was still quite gentle with him, even though she wasn't as familiar with Li Jiuyuan as she was with him.

"Young Master Li, what brings you here?"

Calling him "Little President Li" isn't because of his surname.

It's because Li Yunqi has been exceptionally talented since childhood, and there have even been many rumors over the years that he will be able to catch up with Li Jiuyuan in the future.

Although Gu Bai looked down on Li Yunqi at all.

That was true before, and even more so after learning that the other party had stolen Jiang Momo.

Before Li Yunqi could answer, Gu Bai casually spoke up for him: "Young Master Li is also here on a business trip. Perhaps he wants to take this opportunity to see some old friends."

His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Li Yunqi's expression froze, sensing a hint of hostility in the other party's words.

He was baffled.

"Young Master Gu, how did you know?"

Gu Bai forced a smile: "I overheard your uncle mention it before."

As he said this, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Momo.

There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and Li Yunqi couldn't help but shiver, glancing back at a certain corner.

It's so strange, why do I always feel like someone is secretly watching me?

The three women each harbored their own thoughts, but Jing Tailan, unaware of the true situation, began to chat casually:

"What a coincidence! If I remember correctly, Mr. Li and Mr. Jiang went to the same university..."

"President Jing!"

Jiang Momo was distracted and didn't want to get involved in Li Yunqi's affairs.

Unexpectedly, Jing Tailan suddenly asked such a question, almost revealing her identity.

She interrupted abruptly, unable to maintain her smile, and stiffly changed the subject:

"It's getting late, let's go back to the hotel and rest."
