Chapter 501: Or Else You’ll Catch a Cold
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Sijue and Tang Zui were flying the helicopter. They had seen the car from afar. It had toppled over because of the typhoon. It was very dangerous to fly a helicopter in this weather. If it were not for their excellent helicopter-flying skills, they would have crashed by now.
They lowered the helicopter slowly. Once it stopped, Long Sijue was already ready to head out to save Su Qianxun and Gu Mian.
Su Qianxun had already opened the car door by then. Long Sijue pulled the two young women out of the vehicle and brought them onto the helicopter as fast as he could. The car driver, too, got out of the vehicle on his own and followed them.
Once the cabin door was shut, the three of them sighed in relief. Before Su Qianxun could speak to Long Sijue, a huge towel flopped down on her head.
Su Qianxun quickly took the towel off her head. Long Sijue had already gone to the pilot seat to fly the helicopter with Tang Zui. It seemed like he was ignoring her.
Based on Su Qianxun’s understanding of him, he seemed angry.
All Su Qianxun could do was to grab a towel to dry her wet hair.
Gu Mian saw Tang Zui, and she felt guilty for some unknown reason. She was drying her hair with a towel and did not dare to look towards the pilot’s seat.
Tang Zui was watching Gu Mian the entire time. Seeing that she was safe, he was no longer anxious. But soon after that, he became furious. ‘How dare she ignore what I said and go to see Tang Ming in secret again? This time, she even brought that chick to cover for her!’
There was a loud clunk. The helicopter suddenly gave a vigorous jolt and startled everyone. Long Sijue furrowed his beyerows and glared at Tang Zui, who seemed distracted. “Focus!”
Tang Zui finally snapped out of his reverie. He stopped thinking about Gu Mian and started focusing on flying the helicopter.
They did not go back to the city right away. Instead, they stopped the helicopter in front of a mansion. The storm was too strong at the moment. The farther they flew, the more danger they were to put themselves in. It was a matter of life and death.
Therefore, they chose the nearest mansion they had in this region to spend the night. When the typhoon eased the next day, they would head back to the city.
Si Mancheng was already waiting in the mansion. Seeing that everyone had returned in one piece, he felt utterly relieved.
Long Sijue dragged Su Qianxun into one of the bedrooms. Su Qianxun was still concerned about Gu Mian. When she saw Tang Zui take Gu Mian into another bedroom, she was slightly relieved.
Ever since Long Sijue showed up to rescue her, he had not spoken a word. Su Qianxun felt very nervous. She did not know what she had done wrong this time.
In the bathroom, after Long Sijue filled the tub with warm water, he turned and prepared to leave. Su Qianxun quickly grabbed him and stopped him. “Young master, where are you going?”
“Is anything the matter?” Long Sijue turned back around and stared at her expressionlessly.
Su Qianxun was dumbstruck.
‘Is anything the matter? Why is he talking like that?’
“You’re soaking wet too. You need a warm bath, or else you’ll catch a cold,” Su Qianxun gazed into his eyes and said.
“Are you inviting me… to get into the tub with you?” Long Sijue suddenly turned around and pulled her into a tight embrace.
Su Qianxun’s small face was instantly flushed. ‘What does he mean by that? Didn’t he always just get into the tub on his own?’
“If you’re not inviting me into the tub, forget about it, then.” Seeing that she did not respond, Long Sijue released her. He turned around and was about to leave.
“Yes, it’s an invitation…” As soon as Su Qianxun said that, she wanted so badly to bite off her tongue. Although she was shivering, her cheeks were heated up and reddened like cooked prawns.
Even though she still did not know why he was angry, she could not bear to watch him leave in a sulk. He came to rescue her today, and she was genuinely moved by that.
She knew that it was dangerous to fly a helicopter in this weather. He had risked his life.
