Lu Xiangdong didn't understand. Even if she hadn't lost the pair of broken high heels, what was the point of keeping them?
Su Mianmian ran to the sea and squatted on the ground with some sadness upon realizing that she couldn't find the shoes. The high heels were the last gift her mother left her.
Lu Xiangdong looked at her from afar. Her eyes were red as she turned around to glare at him. She walked back without saying a word.
His heart unconsciously sank.
Today, the two of them flew separately. Lu Xiangdong and Su Mianmian flew to France, but they were on different flights.
Yesterday's unhappiness had left the two of them in a state of war. Neither would speak to each other, and Su Mianmian quickly immersed herself in her work.
"Sister Su, I heard that the customer withdrew his complaint against you?"
"Sister Su, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
As soon as she arrived at work, she was surrounded by Tang Wenyun and Xu Mengting's questions.
"I'm fine. It's time to board the plane, right?" She dragged her suitcase with one hand and tidied up the scarf around her neck with the other.
Tang Wenyun whispered to her mysteriously, "The previous purser has resigned. I heard that a new purser has arrived in our team."
"Is that so?" Su Mianmian was half-listening to the conversation. She did not pay too much attention to it. When she raised her head, she saw Lu Xiangdong and his co-pilot walking towards her.
Lu Xiangdong was wearing a blue uniform. His face looked a little haggard. He was not as energetic as before, but it did not affect his charm. The co-pilot beside him glanced at him. He curled his lips and shouted, "Good Morning, ladies!"
Qi Hang came to greet her colleagues. She took the opportunity to pull her suitcase behind her, and turn around to leave. Just as she turned around, she bumped into someone behind her.
When she looked up, Su Mianmian's mouth gaped open. The other party was about the same height as her. She had a pair of red high heels, a red uniform that covered her buttocks, and a stewardess hat on her head. Su Mianmian realized that the color of the woman's uniform was different from her own. From this, she could assume that she was not a stewardess.
The other party's gaze passed over her and focused on Lu Xiangdong. Then, she pursed her red lips and called out, "Xiangdong."
Su Mianmian's almond-shaped eyes were wide open. She turned around to look at Lu Xiangdong, who was some distance away from her. She realized that Lu Xiangdong, who had always been calm and composed, had actually turned pale.
She noticed that Lu Xiangdong's hand, which was placed by his side, had clenched into a fist. The woman who was originally standing beside her had fallen into an embrace in Lu Xiangdong's arms.
She was not the only one to be shocked by this. The air stewardesses and the co-pilot all had astonished looks on their faces.
Su Mianmian sucked in a breath of cold air. She tightened her grip on the lever. On the surface, she looked as calm as a wave, but in her heart, she was a little disgusted by them hugging each other. This woman and Lu Xiangdong's relationship must be extraordinary. Who could she be? Lu Xiangdong's ex-girlfriend, ex-wife, or perhaps his best friend? Or maybe, she was the woman that Lu Xiangdong had been thinking about all this time.
"Sister Su, so captain Lu has a woman he likes!" Xu Mengting covered her mouth and exclaimed. She then looked at Su Mianmian with a puzzled expression, as though she was saying, 'Aren't you a couple with Captain Lu?'
Tang Wenyun noticed Su Mianmian's ugly expression. He quickly coughed and said, "Mengting, it's time for us to board the plane. Let's go." He pulled Xu Mengting away and smiled at Su Mianmian. "Sister Su, let's go."
