the other side.
Dragon Kingdom.
Beijing.
Around 1 a.m., Huo Qian's private jet landed smoothly at the airport in Beijing.
The plane was parked in a private hangar.
Although we have arrived in Beijing, it is already past midnight, and everyone is asleep on the plane.
It's definitely not possible to wake everyone up and get them off the plane at this point.
So the five of them slept soundly on the plane all night.
The song ended at nine o'clock the next morning.
That is, February 28th.
The people on the plane gradually woke up.
Li Menghan was the first to wake up.
He sat up from the reclined chair and stretched out a very large yawn.
He turned his head and glanced to the side.
Fan Xi has also woken up.
She was rubbing her eyes as she slowly sat up from her chair.
Her hair was a little messy because she had slept all night.
She ran her fingers through her hair and then gave a small yawn.
Li Menghan looked at Fan Xi as she woke up and thought she looked very beautiful.
Although her hair was a little messy and her eyes were not fully open.
But the way she looked like she had just woken up seemed very natural and real.
The two looked at each other, then stood up together and went to the small restroom at the back of the cabin to wash up.
They chatted and laughed as they washed their faces and brushed their teeth.
As Fan Xi washed her face with water using her hands, she smiled and said to Li Menghan:
"I feel like I slept really well last night. The seats on this plane really reclined..." It's softer than my bed at home.
Li Menghan was also brushing his teeth nearby, and he answered indistinctly:
"Of course! The stuff on a private jet is definitely the best."
The two chattered away in the restroom, their voices not loud, but still audible in the quiet cabin.
Huo Qian, who was sitting in the front row, had actually woken up when Li Menghan and Fan Xi got up.
She was lying on the chair, her eye mask still on.
She could hear the voices and laughter of two people coming from the bathroom.
Her fingers gripped the thin blanket covering her tightly.
She took off her blindfold and glanced in the direction of the restroom.
Although she couldn't see anything, she could hear the two of them talking and laughing very clearly.
Huo Qian took a deep breath and put the blindfold back on.
She told herself to stay calm.
after awhile.
Mengli, who was sitting next to Huo Qian, also woke up.
Mengli stretched and rubbed her eyes.
After she sat up, she turned her head and looked around.
Then she reached out and gently shook Zhao Jiajia, who was still sleeping in the opposite seat.
"Jiajia, wake up, we're here."
Zhao Jiajia opened her eyes groggily.
She looked out the window and realized it was already broad daylight outside.
She yawned and sat up from her seat.
After everyone had finished washing up...
The waiter prepared a simple breakfast for everyone.
There are sandwiches, juice, and coffee.
Everyone sat in their seats, eating and chatting.
After finishing their meal, the five people packed their belongings and disembarked from the plane one by one.
The air in Beijing in the morning is very fresh, and the sunshine is also very nice.
Huo Qian walked at the front and addressed everyone:
"I've already arranged a car. Let's take a ride to the most famous shopping street in Beijing and see if there's anything we want to buy."
Huo Qian continued:
"We'll go out for lunch together. In the afternoon, if you all want to continue exploring, that's fine too. If you're tired and don't want to move around, I have a villa in Beijing where you can go and rest."
Upon hearing this arrangement, Zhao Jiajia immediately became excited.
She said loudly:
"Great! I've always wanted to visit the shopping streets in Beijing! Today I finally have the chance!"
Mengli nodded in agreement.
Li Menghan and Fan Xi naturally had no objections.
The two of them walked side by side after getting off the plane.
Although we haven't reached the point of holding hands yet.
But no matter where they went, the two of them were always very, very close to each other.
They were so close that their arms almost touched.
Huo Qian walked in front, even though her back was to the people behind her.
However, she could hear Li Menghan and Fan Xi talking very clearly behind her.
The two of them were chatting quietly, occasionally bursting into laughter.
Huo Qian tightened her grip on the strap of her bag slightly.
Her face was expressionless.
But she felt terrible inside.
Everyone boarded a business van that Huo Qian had arranged in advance.
The car drove smoothly out of the airport and headed towards downtown Beijing.
Inside the car, Mengli sat next to Huo Qian.
She noticed that Huo Qian hadn't said much since getting on the bus, and her expression was also a bit off.
Mengli secretly glanced behind her.
Li Menghan and Fan Xi in the back row were huddled together looking at something on their phones, their heads almost touching.
Mengli immediately understood why Huo Qian was unhappy.
She leaned close to her younger brother and whispered:
"Hey bro, can you tone it down a bit?"
Li Menghan looked up at her sister, completely unaware of what her sister was saying.
He asked, looking completely bewildered:
"What are you collecting?"
Mengli sighed helplessly.
This younger brother's sensitivity in this area is practically zero.
But no matter how much Mengli hinted, Li Menghan just didn't care.
He continued as usual, chatting and laughing with Fan Xi.
About half an hour later.
The car was parked on the side of the most bustling commercial street in Beijing.
Five people got out of the car.
This commercial street is very wide, and both sides are lined with all kinds of big brand stores.
They have everything: Chanel, LV, Gucci, Hermes, and more.
The streets were bustling with people.
We walked slowly together along the commercial street.
After walking a short distance, Fan Xi suddenly stopped.
Her gaze was drawn to a shop on the side of the road.
That was a very high-end jewelry store.
Several very beautiful necklaces and bracelets were displayed in the glass window at the store entrance.
It shimmered beautifully under the light.
Fan Xi stood outside the shop window, her eyes fixed on the jewelry inside.
Li Menghan noticed that Fan Xi had stopped.
He stopped and walked over to Fan Xi.
He glanced at the items in the shop window, then at Fan Xi's expression—she clearly liked them but was too embarrassed to say so.
Li Menghan was the first to open the door of the jewelry store.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Fan Xi followed Li Menghan inside, feeling a little embarrassed.
The other three people followed them into the store.
The jewelry store was very quiet, and the lights were very bright.
The glass display case was filled with all kinds of jewelry.
Each piece looks very exquisite and very expensive.
Fan Xi walked around in front of the counter.
She took a fancy to a very beautiful diamond necklace and a pair of very exquisite earrings.
The waiter brought out the necklace and the pair of earrings for Fan Xi to try on.
Fan Xi put the necklace around her neck and the earrings on her ears.
She stood in front of the large mirror and looked at herself.
The diamond necklace sparkled on her neck; it was truly, truly beautiful.
Li Menghan stood to the side, looking at Fan Xi wearing jewelry in the mirror.
He didn't say anything more.
He turned to the waiter and spoke first:
"I'll take both of them."
The waiter immediately nodded and quoted the price.
The two items together amount to one million.
Li Menghan didn't even blink.
He immediately pulled out the Centurion's black card and handed it to the waiter.
Swipe card, pay, transaction complete.
The whole process took less than two minutes.
Fan Xi stood there, watching Li Menghan spend one million so decisively.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She looked at Li Menghan, her voice trembling slightly:
"Menghan, why did you buy it all at once? It's so expensive..."
Li Menghan looked at Fan Xi and smiled:
"As long as you like it, that's fine. You don't need to worry about the money."
Fan Xi held the exquisite box containing the jewelry and kept thanking Li Menghan.
Standing not far away, Mengli watched her younger brother spending money like water, and she reached out and covered her forehead.
She shook her head helplessly, her face showing an expression that said, "I really can't stand it anymore."
Standing next to Mengli, Huo Qian was witnessing this scene, and her heart was already in turmoil.
She took two steps forward and came to stand in front of Li Menghan.
She looked at Li Menghan, a smile on her face, and spoke in a very generous tone:
"Menghan, is there anything you like in here? If you do, I'll buy it for you."
When Li Menghan heard Huo Qian say that, he turned his head and glanced at her.
Without much thought, he answered very directly:
"I don't like anything. Thank you."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked to Fan Xi's side.
The two of them walked to the other side of the counter to look at other things.
Huo Qian stood still.
Her hands hung at her sides, clenched into fists.
The smile on her face froze there, remaining unchanged for a long time.
She stood there, watching Li Menghan and Fan Xi walk away side by side.
She felt an extremely uncomfortable tightness in her chest.
She felt an extremely uncomfortable tightness in her chest.
A few seconds passed.
Mengli walked over.
She stood next to Huo Qian, reached out, and gently patted Huo Qian's shoulder.
Mengli looked at Huo Qian and said in a very gentle voice:
"Qianqian, don't worry about it. My brother is just a clueless kid who doesn't understand anything. He never thinks before he speaks."
Hearing Mengli's words of comfort, Huo Qian took a deep breath.
She turned to look at Mengli, forcing a smile back onto her face.
But that smile looked very forced.
She said:
"It's alright, Mengli. I didn't mind."
