Seeing Tao Le like this, Ximu's heart suddenly hurt, as if someone was holding him tightly in his hand and squeezing him hard.
Unknowingly, the coldness and disdain on his face completely faded away, replaced by an unconscious soft color.
His appearance here today was originally impulsive. But now that she's here, he also wants to take a closer look at why she can seduce his mind.
But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the topic flew in the opposite direction.
"Why are you doing this?" Simu tried to get back on track: "As long as you are willing to stay, we can still negotiate no matter how many demands you make."
"No need." Tao Le's voice was very soft, but there was an undeniable flavor to it.
"I won't take anything I get from you," she said. "As for the rest, I will set up an IOU and wait for repayment later."
Tao Le didn't mention at all the debt she had incurred in treating Xi Mu before.
In her heart, Ximu knew this kind of thing very well. If he cared about it, he wouldn't be so fussy with her like he is now.
Ximu didn't expect that this time Tao Le really wanted to make a clean break with him.
I don't know why, but right now he just doesn't want to let her get her wish.
He took a deep look at Tao Le and closed his eyes instead of answering.
At this time, the aircraft has entered a stable cruise.
Tao Le thought for a while, then stood up and moved away from Ximu's front.
She felt that she had tried her best to be careful, but the other person's legs were too long and blocked the narrow passage in front of the seat, and he had no intention of giving way.
"Where are you going?" He opened his eyes and asked lazily.
"There is still room over there." Tao Le said, "A layman like me is not worthy of sitting with you, Mr. Xi."
"I just thought I'd better stay somewhere cool so as not to disturb your eyes."
"Sit back." Ximu suppressed the sudden anger in his heart and patted the seat next to him.
"Mr. Xi," Tao Le said with a sneer, "You are a little too lenient. To be honest, your aura is too noble and makes me feel ashamed, so why don't you just ask me to leave?"
In my heart, I was worried about this daring Dr. Tao.
The bones of the last person who used to speak strangely to His Highness should be rotten now, right?
I wonder what the outcome will be for this young Doctor Tao who has made rude remarks many times.
To his surprise, although His Highness's lips were pursed, judging from various indicators, he did not seem to be angry.
At this moment, an elegant and intellectual flight attendant came to them and asked very gently: "Sir, Madam, do you need any help?"
"No." Simu answered quickly.
"Yes. I want to change seats." Tao Le said at the same time as him.
"She doesn't need it," Simu added slowly.
"I need it." Tao Le glared at him fiercely and then said.
"That's right." The stewardess said awkwardly: "We do have a lot of empty seats in the first class cabin. If you really need it, madam, you can choose as you like."
"However, it is best for you and your boyfriend to reach a consensus as soon as possible. Standing here is not safe and may disturb other passengers."
"He is not my boyfriend." Tao Le explained immediately.
"Okay, we will." Simu said at the same time - he did not deny the relationship between the two like Tao Le, as if the matter was not worth mentioning at all.
"Why are you doing this, Mr. Xi?" Tao Le said with a frown.
Simu didn't answer. He just waved his hand gently, and Tao Le slipped and fell back unconsciously.
"So, do you two need any help?" The well-informed stewardess said softly without changing her expression.
"It's okay." Simu waved his hand, and the stewardess left knowingly.
Just as Tao Le was about to say something more, Xi Mu's cold voice rang out: "The plane is a little bumpy, so fasten your seat belts."
In line with his words, the plane actually bumped a few times at the right time.
Tao Le understood who had done this, but he couldn't express it, so he could only swallow his complaints back in his stomach.
Because after this bumpy situation, she suddenly woke up and remembered Ximu's identity and his abilities.
If he really angered His Highness, everyone on the plane would be in danger, not to mention himself.
When he thought of this, Tao Le immediately closed his eyes like a cat that had just had its nails trimmed, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
Ximu turned his head silently and looked at her quietly for a while. The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't look away.
His eyes slid down her smooth and delicate face with almost invisible pores, until they landed on her right hand casually resting on the armrest of the seat.
Almost subconsciously, Simu slowly reached out and covered the hand that had not been properly maintained and could not be called beautiful.
Tao Le noticed it as soon as his fingertips touched the back of his palm.
She quickly withdrew her hand and opened her eyes to look at Ximu, her eyes full of confusion.
Somehow, Ximu turned his head and avoided her sight.
"Sorry, I bumped into it accidentally." He explained dryly.
Tao Le did not speak, but crossed his arms in front of his chest, showing a respectful attitude.
Seeing her being so indifferent, Ximu suddenly felt as if something was choking in his heart.
At this moment, something suddenly happened on the plane.
The noise was coming from the economy class cabin. The chaotic footsteps, the sudden screams, and the faint sobbing all reminded Tao Le that this was something unusual.
She instinctively wanted to stand up and go to the economy class to see what was going on, but Simu pushed her back again.
There was an enigmatic expression on his face that Tao Le couldn't see through at all.
But no matter what happened, as long as Ximu was around, her heart was as stable as a rock.
Soon, those random sounds stopped.
"I won't embarrass you." One person said in Chinese with a very weird accent: "Do as we say and don't play tricks. I will ensure your safety."
Upon hearing these words, Tao Le's heart immediately "thumped" and he was shaken violently.
Hijack! As soon as this idea came to her mind, a man opened the curtain of the first class cabin and walked in.
He was about forty years old, with a chubby build, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked like an ordinary engineer.
Behind him, two thin men also came in, their expressions much more nervous than the one in front.
But just these three people made the rest of the people in the first class stay silent.
