After putting the suitcase away, Secretary Liu was confused upon seeing the President rooted to the ground but he dared not hurry the latter.
"Give me a minute." It was unusual for Ye Lanchen to explain himself. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes as they studied the silhouette of a woman.
Secretary Liu turned to the direction of Ye Lanchen's gaze and nodded understandingly when he discovered Chu Wuyou.
"It's Madam. President, I assume she's here to pick you up?" This was the first possibility that flashed across Secretary Liu's mind. Madam must be here at this time to pick up the President.
Ye Lanchen's eyebrows twitched at the thought of that. To pick him up? He could not recall informing her about the time of his return flight nor requesting her to receive him at the airport. However, he did mention that he would be away for three days. Naturally, she should know about his return today.
Was she here to pick him up on her own wish?
After pondering for a short while, Ye Lanchen fished out his cell phone and dialed her number.
Before he could press down the call button, Chu Wuyou had already retrieved her phone and was evidently making an outgoing call.
Ye Lanchen stopped in his actions. Chu Wuyou must be dialing his number if she was here to pick him up. The man looked at her with expectant eyes.
However, his phone did not ring although he witnessed with his own eyes that she had made an outgoing call. Obviously, she did not plan on calling him.
In other words, she was not here to pick him up.
"Check if there's any confirmation email concerning Madam's purchase of a flight ticket." Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Maybe she was not here to pick anyone up but to board the plane herself?
Only several days ago she plotted to leave the country, which he later succeeded to prevent her from doing so.
However, he had been away for three days, leaving her plenty of time to escape if she wished to. It made no sense that she would choose this day to run away.
Chu Wuyou's phone call that was directed to Qin Yutong had not been picked up. It would be difficult to do a search in this massive airport.
She scanned the surrounding area but to no avail. Instinctively, she wanted to turn around to see if they were waiting outside the airport.
Ye Lanchen averted his gaze when he noticed her desire to turn around. In spite of that, he did not hide but remained rooted to the same spot. Based on his current position, she would definitely notice him if she was to turn around.
He wanted to witness her reaction when she discovered him.
However, Chu Wuyou's phone started ringing suddenly by the time she turned sideways. It was from Qin Yutong.
"Wuyou, sorry that I missed your call earlier. Have you arrived at the airport yet? We're still inside. Zhixi is feeling a little drowsy so we're resting in the lounge." Qin Yutong whispered gently to the phone for fear that she would disturb the darling that had dozed off in her arms.
"Yup, I've arrived at the airport. Where are you guys? I'll head over right now." Chu Wuyou knew that bringing two four-year-old children on the plane alone was a challenging task, not to mention that Zhixi was still asleep.
"Zhixi, wake up now. Mommy's here to pick us up." Qin Yutong budged the girl softly and the latter who was still sleeping just seconds ago suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, looking all energetic.
"You woke up immediately upon hearing your mommy's here. It upsets me to hear that you love your birth mother more than your godmother." Qin Yutong was grinning from ear to ear albeit pretending to be hurt as she handed over the cell phone to Tang Zhixi.
"Mommy?" Tang Zhixi received the phone and her faint, sweet voice soon transmitted to the other end of the phone.
"Yes, it's me. Mommy's here to pick you up." Chu Wuyou's heart melted at the sound of her daughter's voice. The corner of her lips curled upward uncontrollably and happiness took over her face.
Earlier, Chu Wuyou had turned sideways hence her profile was evidently seen by Ye Lanchen who was standing outside of the airport. All he could see was the dazzling smile that was hanging on her face.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes. Who was that person on the phone that caused this beautiful smile on Chu Wuyou's face?!
