Chapter 1 Unfavorable Travel

"Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to announce that due to poor weather conditions and the temporary close-down of Shenzhen International Airport, the destination of this flight, our plane is going to return to Shanyang Airport. Sorry for bringing inconvenience to your journey."

“Ladies and gentlemen…”

Complaints went through the cabin, mixed with the sound from the radio. Then, Li Mu was awakened from sleep. After figuring out what happened, he couldn't help frowning.

This flight had been delayed for nearly two hours before finally taking off. Yet now it was about to return to its place of departure. Everything went wrong today. He should have read the Horoscope fortune before leaving.

Looking at his watch, he found that it had already past nine o'clock in the evening. He couldn't attend tomorrow's meeting in time. Li Mu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Since the plane hadn't been flying for long and needed fuel consumption to return, it took another two hours before landing on the runway of Shanyang Airport.

Li Mu called Mr. Yan upon getting off the plane. Mr. Yan is his direct leader. He is an affable man who treats his subordinates like an elder brother.

Having figured out his situation, Mr. Yan said readily, " It doesn't matter. Xiaoyu is on a business trip near Shenzhen. I will ask her to go there overnight. You're so tired today, quickly go back to relax."

Xiaoyu is Li Mu's junior female schoolmate. Her full name is He Xiaoyu. She graduated three years later than Li Mu, but they came to Dong Yang Company at the same time. Due to the same alma mater, the two new employees looked after each other and built a close relationship with each other.

Petite and cute, Xiaoyu has a rather straightforward temperament, making no secret of her appreciation and admiration to Li Mu. Before he got married, she has confessed her love boldly and almost scared him away.

It wasn't until Li Mu got married that He Xiaoyu suppressed her feelings. Now, only friendship remained between them. They became close friends of the opposite sex.

After arranging his work, Li Mu flipped through VChat and clicked on his wife's portrait first.

"Have you arrived, my dear? Just let me know when you arrive so I can feel reassured."

Li Mu smiled. As a 28-year-old man, he married his beloved woman Lin Wan two years ago, living happily with a perfect marriage.

Lin Wan is a music teacher of a primary school, beautiful, sexy, genial and virtuous.

His male friends all admired him a lot, saying he was lucky enough to marry such a pretty and kind wife.

Li Mu also felt quite proud, and even a little complacency about this.

He changed his mind just before telling his wife the truth, and replied, grinning, "I have already arrived in Shenzhen. Don't worry, dear, everything is ok."

The reply came soon, "Okay, I see. It's too late. Have an early rest! I'll go to sleep now."

"Okay. Lock the door and the windows. Pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, everything is fine at home. Good night, honey!"

"Good night, sweetheart."

After sending the message, Li Mu walked out of the terminal building. He planned to give his wife a surprise. Thinking of Lin Wan's startled expression, he couldn't help smiling.

Upon getting outside of the terminal building, the phone in his hand rang. It was from He Xiaoyu. Needless to guess, she was calling for some benefits.

“What's up? It’s so late yet you are still awake." Li Mu answered the phone and asked directly.

"Why I have to be on travel and can't sleep at the midnight, Li Mu? I'm doing errands for you, okay? Could you please be more polite to me?" He Xiaoyu replied with dissatisfaction.

"So it's you! Madam Yu!" Li Mu said teasingly.

"Madam Yu helped me with such a big favor today. From now on, you'll be my grandma, my timely rain, does that satisfy you? Or I can give you higher position in the family hierarchy."
