Chapter 474: You Finally Came Back (Part 4)
Arriving at the place Li Weiwei mentioned, Su Anle saw Qiao Zi standing at the door. Qiao Zi looked shocked, but she was very calm, her gaze lingering on Qiao Zi for just a second before she moved away and pushed the door open.
The man had his back to her, still the height she remembered, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and impossibly long legs.
A black shirt, perfectly tailored.
Su Anle stood quietly in place without making a sound for a full five seconds before the man slowly turned around.
Their eyes met in the air, and the next second, Su Anle felt her waist being fiercely restrained and her chin pinched painfully. The man’s kiss came with great force as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Su Anle’s eyes blurred for a moment, but she regained her calm in just two seconds.
As if the one who was forcibly kissed was not her, as if the one she reunited with wasn’t him.
Sheng Jianan kissed her fiercely, lowering his head, and when he opened his eyes, he met a pair of eyes as calm as water, causing his heart to twist into a knot.
The action froze at the same moment.
Taking advantage of the pause, the woman in his embrace spoke: "Sir, this cheek-to-cheek greeting seems a bit much."
The familiar voice, yet with an unusual calm tone.
Sheng Jianan frowned, stepping back as if trying to confirm something, and the next second, he heavily pulled her into his arms: "You’ve finally come back."
The man’s deep voice, laced with anger, fear, and endless loneliness.
But the woman in his embrace had no reaction at all, her fingers didn’t even move, neither complying nor resisting, just letting him hold her.
After a long time, Su Anle finally spoke: "Sir, have you hugged enough? I’m going to miss my flight."
Sheng Jianan released her, but his hands still tightly clutched her shoulders: "Sir?"
"I’m going to miss my flight, my friend is still waiting for me, please let go, thank you."
Sheng Jianan had imagined countless times the scenario of their meeting. She might panic and flee, or pretend not to know him, or calmly say "long time no see."
But none of them was this bizarre calmness.
Compared to the past her, the calmness now was frightening because it was an calmness emerging from the heart, calmness that felt detached.
Taking advantage of Sheng Jianan’s daze, Su Anle broke free from his restraint, smiling: "I’m boarding, goodbye."
As she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by someone almost at the same time: "You dare to leave!"
Outside, Li Weiwei was unaware of the situation inside, anxiously peeking in but unable to see anything. After a long while, she saw Su Anle coming out. Li Weiwei immediately jumped in front of her: "Sister Su."
Su Anle gave her a slight smile: "Weiwei, I have some things to deal with here that will delay me for a few days. I’ll send a leave report to the translation institute, and please help me notify the minister as well, thank you."
Li Weiwei nodded hesitantly, carefully glancing at the man standing beside Su Anle: "Sister Su, are you... you okay?"
"I’m fine, you go first."
"Oh..."
Watching Li Weiwei walk away, Su Anle turned back: "I’ve stayed, now can you let the airport return to normal?"
Sheng Jianan squinted, waved to Qiao Zi, then took her hand and walked out quickly.
Taking her to the car, they sped all the way back to the Urban Apartment. As soon as they entered, he pinned her to the door and kissed her madly.
