Bo Chen immediately said obsequiously, "Brother, don't take it to heart. Just forgive me this time, considering all the errands I've run for Aunt Yan."
Bo Su couldn't be bothered to talk to him. He only wanted to talk to Yan Shu. "Shushu, Bo Chen is my cousin. He has a rash personality. Please bear with him in the future."
Yan Shu was very grateful that Bo Chen had helped her out of her predicament today. Hence, she thought that Bo Chen's rashness was quite adorable.
Yan Shu said, "Bo Su, Bo Chen has been a great help today. I want to treat him and Professor Jason to a meal. Can you come too?"
Bo Su was stunned. Professor Jason had received a consultation fee that was enough to make him rich. Bo Chen was spending a large chunk of his pocket money every month. Was there a need to treat the two of them to a meal?
However, Yan Shu's gratitude was priceless, so Bo Su did not want to brush off her good intentions.
"Wife, you're very thoughtful. I should indeed be grateful to Professor Jason. I'll arrive at the capital at four o'clock this afternoon. I'll come straight to the hotel after landing."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Yan Shu returned the phone to Bo Chen and told him, "See you at Xiangling Restaurant at six o'clock tonight. Remember to come." With that, she ran out.
"Sister Shushu, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the airport to pick him up," Yan Shu said without turning around.
"How old is my brother? Why would he need you to pick him up?" Bo Chen was so shocked that he couldn't shut his mouth.
Then, he suddenly thought of something. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Bo Su. "Sister Shushu is going to pick you up. Remember to hide your identity as a big shot."
When Bo Su saw the message, happiness bloomed in his heart.
Four o'clock, at the airport.
Yan Shu took advantage of lunch hour to return to the City of Dawn. She tidied up her room and took a shower. After changing into a set of clean clothes, she arrived at the airport.
When Bo Su walked out of the airport, Yan Shu noticed him immediately because of his height and his imposing aura.
She stood among the crowd who were there to pick up arriving passengers. Her aura was elegant, like an orchid in an empty valley, untainted and pure.
Bo Su quickened her pace and walked over. "Shushu."
Yan Shu also walked towards him quickly.
At this moment, a couple beside them rushed towards each other at a speed that surpassed theirs and hugged each other.
The girl who came to pick up the guy was holding a bouquet of bright roses in her hand. When Yan Shu saw this, she stopped in her tracks.
Looking around, she noticed that most of the people in the welcoming crowd were holding flowers, chocolates, or other gifts. With her hands empty, she awkwardly smiled at Bao Yu who walked up to her.
"I'm sorry. I forgot to prepare a pick-up gift."
Bo Su reached out to rub her head and handed her the gift in his hand. "It's okay. I've prepared something for you."
Bo Su's thoughtfulness made Yan Shu feel upset and guilty.
She suddenly realized that she was a lousy wife.
She had no access to her phone for three days and overlooked the fact that Bo Su would be worried about not being able to contact her.
It was as if her heart had not been completely pulled out of her previous relationship, which was why she was unable to pour her heart into the next one.
It was also this introspection that made Yan Shu realize that she was a wife.
She took the gift from Bo Su, not caring about its contents, but placed it close to her heart like a treasure.
"Bo Su, thank you."
Bo Su reached out to hold her hand and walked out of the airport. As they walked, he said, "Actually, I'm the one who should thank you. Shushu, no one has ever picked me up at the airport before. You're the first to do it."
Yan Shu was very surprised. She remembered that when she first took the plane to be an exchange student overseas, her parents were extremely worried. They were afraid that she would get airsick, that she would not be used to the pressure during take-off, and that there would be no food to her liking on the plane. Hence, they sent her off and picked her up with bags and bags of snacks.
Bo Su was just telling her about it casually, but Yan Shu felt very sorry for him.
She wasn't one to dwell on sorrows. Instead she preferred to turn the hardships of life into a beautiful poem. Suddenly, she tightly held onto Bo Su's arm and smiled. "From now on, I'll be the one to pick you up each time you come back."
Bo Su smiled. "Shushu, you are going to spoil me into a mollusk."
Yan Shu thought of Gu Yucheng and said self-deprecatingly, "It's not like I've never kept a mollusk as a pet before. It doesn't matter if I have one more."
Bo Su frowned. Was she comparing him to that scumbag Gu Yucheng?
He was not okay with that.
"Shushu, I don't want you to support me. I just want you to dote on me."
Yan Shu was stunned. Was there a difference?
When Yan Shu and Bo Su walked out of the airport, they were greeted by a group of people who were turning their heads constantly to look at them. Yan Shu was surprised. Were they that eye-catching?
Then, she heard some girls discussing excitedly. "Oh my god, he's the legendary big shot in the business world, Bai Lancheng, right? Oh my god, he's too handsome in person!"
Yan Shu smiled. So they had mistaken him for someone else.
She waved her arm to stop the taxi that was speeding over. This time, it was her turn to considerately open the door for Bo Su.
Bo Su's expression froze when he saw the taxi. However, he did not say anything and bent down to get in.
Yan Shu heard the girl's regretful voice beside them. "It's definitely not Bai Lancheng. How could he be taking a taxi? Besides, Bai Lancheng doesn't have a girlfriend."
"But they really look alike."
Yan Shu smiled and got into the taxi.
At 5:30 p.m., there was still half an hour to go before the agreed time.
At Xiangling Hotel.
In order to entertain the VIPs tonight, Yan Shu deliberately came to the hotel in advance to make arrangements.
Bo Su was very tired from the long journey. Yan Shu hypnotized him and got him to rest before going for dinner.
Yan Shu didn't expect the world to be so small.
She bumped into the rich lady who made things difficult for her in the hospital at Xiangling Hotel.
When the conceited lady saw Yan Shu, her eyes were filled with disdain.
"Dr. Yan, I didn't expect you to visit such a high-end hotel even though you're about to lose your job."
Yan Shu usually wouldn't go to such an expensive hotel, but today, she was buying a meal for her mother's savior. Naturally, she would spare no expense.
Yan Shu said, "Madam has complained about me slacking off in my duties. The hospital is a place with reasonable rules and regulations. Did I neglect my duties? I believe the hospital will clear my name."
The rich lady's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. "Doctor Yan is really innocent and naive. If I dislike someone, I can make life difficult for him or her in the capital, let alone in the hospital." Her words were laced with a blatant threat.
With a proud demeanor and no trace of fear, Yan Shu retorted, "Madam, in the Imperial City, no one can cover the sky. Especially not you, an ordinary person with no contribution to the city's GDP." With that, Yan Shu left arrogantly.
The rich lady gritted her teeth. She didn't expect to meet such a stubborn person. After all, in the past, every woman would kneel before her, crying and repenting for their mistakes.
A tall and majestic figure was standing not far away.
Seeing with his own eyes how Yan Shu had insulted the rich lady, a gratified smile appeared in his charming eyes.
When the rich lady turned around and saw him, her face, which was filled with exasperation because of Yan Shu, instantly turned ice-cold. She was extremely embarrassed.
"Lancheng, why are you here?"
