Chapter 240: Chapter 238: Who Would Have a Problem with Money?

Having retrieved his suitcase, he wasted no time walking toward the exit. Lin Xi had already been waiting there for half an hour.

To avoid any unnecessary commotion, she had bundled herself up completely. All anyone could see was a girl with a perfect figure standing at the exit, craning her neck in anticipation, but her face remained hidden. Some curious onlookers tried to get a closer look, but they were stopped by a tall, burly man who looked like a bodyguard before they could even get near. After that, no one else dared to approach.

Lin Xi’s beautiful eyes were fixed on the exit, afraid she would miss Xue Yang. Strange, why hasn’t he come out yet? He should be here by now.

Just then, a tall figure pushing a suitcase appeared before her.

Lin Xi spotted him almost immediately. Her eyes lit up, and she dashed over. “Xue Yang~”

Xue Yang had just reached the exit when he saw Lin Xi peering out from the entryway. Seeing her sprint toward him, he silently let go of his suitcase and opened his arms to welcome this beautiful elf.

Just as she had countless times before when Xue Yang would come home and she would dash out of her room, Lin Xi effortlessly leaped onto him, her legs wrapping tightly around his waist.

Xue Yang skillfully supported her pert little bottom and found a comfortable position, letting her hang from him securely, almost like a pendant.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year was the peak travel period for out-of-towners returning to the city, so the airport was bustling with people. They drew envious glances from everyone around them.

It’s great to be young.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” He should have booked an earlier flight.

“No worries, the airport is quite fun. While waiting for you, I saw five long-distance couples crying their eyes out as they separated, three couples who were secretly eloping against their families’ wishes looking overjoyed, and…”

“It seems you had quite a good time at the airport.”

“Were you this happy last time?”

“Last time wasn’t happy at all, because I was the one in the long-distance relationship…” Realizing she had let it slip, Lin Xi playfully stuck her tongue out at Xue Yang. “Last time, Si Wen was with me, so it wasn’t too bad, really.”

“Si Wen is often unreliable, but she was reliable in that situation. So, I’ve decided to start the year by giving her a gift—a complete set of five-year college entrance examination simulation papers.”

Lin Xi snorted with laughter. “Oh, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled.”

“It’s what she deserves.”

“Let’s go home.”

“Alright, let’s go home.”

Xue Yang glanced back and said, “Uncle He, could you please handle the suitcase? Thank you.”

With that, he walked out of the airport, still carrying Lin Xi. Uncle He emerged from the crowd, effortlessly picked up Xue Yang’s suitcase, and followed close behind. Once outside, they headed for the parking lot.

“See, I wasn’t lying. It’s snowing in Yancheng. This is the first snow since the New Year began. The heavens must have known you were coming back today and sent a special snowfall to welcome you.”

Xue Yang had seen the snowy landscape of Yancheng before his flight landed, but he hadn’t paid it much mind, consumed with thoughts of seeing Lin Xi. Now, with the beautiful girl in his arms, he was finally in the mood to admire a scene he could never see in the south.

“Weren’t you worried that if the snow got too heavy, the plane might not have been able to land?”

“Of course not. Because you’re already here,” she said, snuggling into his embrace.

Xue Yang chuckled inwardly. This little Xiao Naimao must have forgotten she just sent me a message worried that heavy snow would affect the flight. She’s acting all confident now, isn’t she?

After a short wait, a black Maybach slowly pulled up in front of them. Once it stopped, Uncle He got out of the driver’s seat, opened the passenger door, and invited them to get in.

This was the first time Xue Yang had ridden in Lin Xi’s car. Previously, he had always shamelessly hitched rides in Si Wen’s car. He couldn’t help it; that girl was always running over to his side. During that period, Uncle He had even felt a bit guilty accepting his salary.

Xue Yang first helped Lin Xi into the car before getting in himself. Uncle He gently closed the door and walked around the back of the car to the driver’s seat. Shortly after, the car started and smoothly departed from Yancheng International Airport, leaving behind a crowd of stunned onlookers.

It’s one thing to be handsome, the men thought, but to also have such a beautiful girlfriend, a luxury car, and a private bodyguard for airport pickups? How is anyone else supposed to compete?

Why do some girls have all the luck? the women wondered. She’s beautiful, has a devoted boyfriend, and gets a private chauffeur with a luxury car and a bodyguard. The gap between people’s lives is just too vast.

Lin Xi leaned her head on Xue Yang’s shoulder, her hands affectionately clasping his arm, savoring every second she spent with him. Up front, Uncle He drove on in silence, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

In Xue Yang’s pocket, his Xiaomi phone kept vibrating. It was strange. When he was at home, his phone barely rang. But as soon as he arrived in Yancheng, it was as if a switch had been flipped; it hadn’t stopped ringing since he got off the plane. Xue Yang couldn’t ignore it any longer and had no choice but to reach into his pocket and pull it out.

He opened QQ on his phone. Good grief, over a hundred messages. And it hasn’t even been half an hour since I got off the plane.

The first messages Xue Yang checked were from Jennifer. He had no choice—Jennifer had sent the most, and they were still coming in.

“Jennifer, are you trying to get me a new phone with all these notifications?”

The other end went silent for a dozen seconds. “Xue Yang, you finally replied! Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year!”

“Can you come to our company right now? It’s extremely urgent!!!”

The three exclamation points made it clear just how desperate he was.

“I just got off the plane.”

“I’ll give you a welcome-back red envelope. The biggest one.”

Money? Who would turn down money? Especially since I’m so short on it right now.

“Uncle He, please turn around and head to Trendy Apparel Company.”

“Yes, Young Master Xue.”

Uncle He waited at the intersection. When the light turned green, he made a turn onto another main road, heading toward Trendy Apparel.

“Jennifer said he needs me for something extremely urgent. I’m going to go see what’s going on.”

“Okay.” As long as she could be with Xue Yang, Lin Xi didn’t care where they went.

「Half an hour later.」

The Maybach pulled up in front of the Trendy Apparel Company building. Jennifer, knowing Xue Yang was coming, was already waiting outside. Seeing Xue Yang get out of the car, he rushed up to him as if greeting his own father.

However, upon seeing the Maybach, he froze. Have they gone public? I don’t think I’ve seen any reports about this. Or have I just been too busy lately and missed some major news? Ah, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that my buddy Xue Yang really comes through when you need him. I was right about him.

Upon seeing Lin Xi, Jennifer’s legs went weak, and he almost fell. Xue Yang quickly caught him, saving him from the embarrassment.
