Beauty Snake - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: The Little Wives Are Going to the Airport!

Seeing Ji Yunfei tugging gently at her hem and speaking in such a soft, hushed voice, Xie Yin’s heart melted. Her hand instinctively reached out to stroke the crown of the other’s head, and she said tenderly, “They don’t like extravagance; keeping everything simple is fine.”

“Mm… they love traveling more than anything. I barely get to see them myself.”

“Perhaps you could design something around the theme of travel?”

“But honestly, as long as it’s designed by your own hand, they will definitely love it.”

“My most excellent jewelry designer, Miss Ji…” She looked directly into Ji Yunfei’s eyes, her gaze filled with love and admiration. Simultaneously, she took Ji Yunfei’s hand and dropped a soft kiss on the white, smooth back of it.

Perhaps Xie Yin’s gaze was too burning, or perhaps the warm sensation on the back of her hand was too sudden, but Ji Yunfei felt a jolt like an electric current, and her heart rate accelerated involuntarily.

“I’m not as good as you say…” Blushing, she pulled her hand back and muttered under her breath, though her heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

“Don’t sell yourself short. My girlfriend is the best.”

“Alright, alright, you’re the one with the sweet mouth… girlfriend.” Taking advantage of Xie Yin’s lack of preparation, Ji Yunfei leaned in and “sneak attacked” her cheek.

This is a reward for the sweet-talking Yinyin…

Xie Yin, having received her reward, reacted a moment too late. Just as she wanted to pull the other back to greedily ask for a bit more, Ji Yunfei dodged and slipped away.

Slipping to the door and seeing Xie Yin’s lingering expression, Ji Yunfei gave a mischievous smile: “Alright, shall we go?”

“Before going back to the company to be a laborer, we have to indulge ourselves a bit.” With that, she went out to find the rest of the group, leaving Xie Yin standing there stupidly by herself.

“Mm… indulge a bit…” Xie Yin raised her hand to her cheek, lightly stroking the spot where Ji Yunfei’s lips had landed, her eyes stained with an irrepressible smile.

Beautiful times always fly by. In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunfei was back at her familiar workstation, continuing her life as a “corporate beast.”

Only now, she was starting to enjoy her working life a little. If you asked why, it was probably because a certain clingy CEO was always able to provide ample emotional value at exactly the right moments.

“Ji Yunfei, CEO Xie is looking for you.” While Ji Yunfei was buried in her sketches, a colleague’s voice came from behind.

She nodded and replied, “Okay, thanks, I’ll be there right away.” However, her hand didn’t stop until she drew the final line. She stretched her body and stood up to head to Xie Yin’s office.

Knock, knock, knock—

“Come in.”

The woman buried in signing documents did not look up, speaking indifferently: “What is it?”

Seeing this, Ji Yunfei raised an eyebrow, sat opposite her, and reached out to take the fountain pen from the woman’s hand. “CEO Xie called me here, and now you’re asking me what it is?”

Startled by the move, Xie Yin froze. She looked up, and behind her gold-rimmed glasses was a pair of slightly indignant eyes.

But the moment their gazes met, Ji Yunfei saw a flash of surprise in Xie Yin’s eyes, followed immediately by a gaze full of smiles.

“Didn’t I say you don’t need to knock to enter the office?”

“I thought it was someone else…”

“Hehe, when there are outsiders, of course I have to follow the rules.”

“By the way, why did you call me?” Ji Yunfei propped her chin up with one hand while the other idly twirled the pen she had just “stolen” from Xie Yin.

“Forgot? My mothers are coming back soon.”

“They just messaged me. Their flight arrives next Sunday at 11:00 AM.”

“Want to go to the airport together?”

Ji Yunfei remembered, of course, but she hadn’t expected Xie Yin to ask her to come along to pick them up. She thought for a moment and pulled a velvet box from her pocket: “Of course I remember the Aunties are coming back, but your sudden mention of the airport caught me off guard.”

“This is the necklace I designed. Want to take a look for me first?”

The box opened to reveal two necklaces connected by a magnet, forming the shape of a pair of sunglasses. At the ends of the sunglasses were two small airplanes of different colors.

“I thought, travel requires planes, and sunglasses are essential, so I combined the two. Since it’s a gift for the Aunties, I made it into a magnetic couple’s necklace…”

After finishing, Ji Yunfei bit her lip and looked at Xie Yin, who was carefully examining the necklace, waiting for her reaction.

“It’s very creative, A-Fei. I knew you could do it well.”

“They will love it.” Xie Yin closed the box and gave it back to Ji Yunfei. The admiration mixed with love in her eyes made Ji Yunfei blush.

“Alright, business is done. I’m leaving?” Ji Yunfei said as she prepared to stand up.

“Wait…” Xie Yin stood up, walked in front of Ji Yunfei, pressed her shoulders, and pushed her back into the seat.

“?” Looking at the person now straddling her lap, Ji Yunfei raised an eyebrow, having a faint premonition of what was coming next.

“We haven’t seen each other all morning. Don’t you want to stay with me a bit longer?” Xie Yin circled Ji Yunfei’s neck, her words suggestive.

“Wasn’t seeing each other all night yesterday enough?”

“Besides, it’s working hours. Mind your status, CEO Xie.” Mentioning last night made Ji Yunfei grumpy. She nearly late for work today because Xie Yin was too demanding last night… her arms were still sore…

“But I missed you…” Seeing Ji Yunfei wasn’t taking the bait, Xie Yin pouted unhappily and muttered softly.

“I don’t care. You can’t leave until you kiss me.”

Mwah, mwah, mwah—

Seeing Xie Yin dazed by her sudden triple-kiss, Ji Yunfei smirked. She picked the woman up and sent her back to her office chair.

Before leaving, she leaned close to Xie Yin’s ear and whispered: “The extra two were a complimentary gift. Focus on your work, CEO Xie.”

Click— The door closed, leaving only Xie Yin sitting in the large office, still processing what happened.

She reached out a finger to touch the lips that had just been pecked by the “woodpecker” and whispered, “Bad A-Fei…”

“How am I supposed to focus on work like this…”

“Xie Yin, do you think I look alright in this…?”

In a flash, the day of the airport pickup arrived. Ji Yunfei was standing in front of a full-length mirror, looking left and right, feeling like she wasn’t dressed formally enough.

Would a casual shirt look too flighty?

“You look good in anything. It’s very suitable…” Xie Yin embraced Ji Yunfei from behind, looking directly into her eyes through the mirror, her tone serious.

“That’s good… Is it enough to bring these things? Is it too little?” Having solved the clothing issue, she pointed to the various health supplements and gifts she had purchased.

“Silly, how could it be little? With so many things, they barely fit in the trunk.”

“Alright, don’t worry. The thought is what counts. Just relax, you’re too nervous. You haven’t even seen them yet and you’re this nervous; when you actually meet them, are you going to faint from fright?” Xie Yin kissed Ji Yunfei’s neck gently, comforting her in a soft voice.

Calmed down by Xie Yin’s reassurance, Ji Yunfei’s restless heart quieted a bit. She nodded: “Okay, it’s getting late. We should head out.”

“Mm.”

On the way to the airport, to create a relaxed atmosphere, Xie Yin specifically chose some light music.

“Let’s go light the lights. Lights, lights. Grooving city lights…”

The lazy, relaxed feel of the blues music filled the car. Ji Yunfei relaxed and squinted: “What made you think of playing this song?”

The woman focusing on the road behind her gold-rimmed glasses curled her eyes: “Naturally, it’s to help a certain little blockhead relax. This song also happens to be a favorite of my mothers.”

“They are very easygoing. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have become ‘hands-off’ bosses and let me manage the company alone while they travel everywhere. So don’t worry, they are very easy to get along with…” Halfway through her sentence, Xie Yin paused, hooking the corner of her mouth into a playful smile.

“And of course, there won’t be any mother-in-law drama…”

“Xie Yin!!” Ji Yunfei pinched the thigh of the woman who didn’t know when to keep her mouth shut, then closed her eyes, not wanting to talk to her anymore.

“A-Fei… A-Fei… talk to me…”

“……”

Sorry, can’t hear you.

Seeing that Ji Yunfei was determined to play dead and ignore her, Xie Yin pouted and muttered softly, “Everything I said is true…”

Initially, she had only closed her eyes to ignore Xie Yin, but perhaps because Xie Yin’s driving was too smooth, or perhaps because she was too exhausted from the night before, drowsiness gradually washed over her. Ji Yunfei actually ended up falling asleep.

“A-Fei, wake up, we’re here.” Her body was gently shaken. Ji Yunfei sat up with bleary eyes, dazed for a moment before realizing: “I actually fell asleep?”

“What time is it? I didn’t mess things up, did I?”

“Don’t worry, there’s still time. Shall we go in?” Seeing Ji Yunfei’s delayed reaction, Xie Yin pinched the soft flesh of her cheek and laughed softly.

“As long as I didn’t mess things up. Let’s go quickly.” Ji Yunfei let out a sigh of relief, unable to imagine how impolite it would be to be late for a first meeting…

On the way to the arrival gate, Ji Yunfei’s heart couldn’t help but hang in her throat again. After all, it was her first time meeting the parents… she wondered what kind of people Xie Yin’s mothers would be…

“Nervous again?” Xie Yin, sensing her mood, turned her head toward Ji Yunfei and reached out her hand: “If you’re nervous, hold onto me. I will always be by your side.”

“Cheesy!” Although Ji Yunfei’s words were a bit dismissive, the corners of her mouth that wouldn’t stay down and the hand that had already taken Xie Yin’s revealed her true thoughts.

Luckily, she is always by my side.

Under the terminal dome, the crowd was bustling. The sound of rolling suitcases was constant. Large crowds stood before the various arrival gates—everyone from three-year-old toddlers to seventy or eighty-year-old elders, all waiting with anticipation.

Suddenly, a shout erupted from the crowd. The two turned their gazes toward the source and saw a girl with short hair holding roses, breaking through the crowd and running toward a girl with long hair who had just come out. The two embraced tightly.

“That’s quite romantic…” Watching the happy scene of the two embracing from afar, Ji Yunfei couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“I’m not romantic? She only has that bouquet of roses in her hand.”

“I have a whole small trolley…” Seeing Ji Yunfei staring at the embracing couple, Xie Yin squeezed her hand harder, her tone thick with jealousy.

“I was just admiring the moment… are you jealous?” Ji Yunfei laughed, shifting her gaze back to Xie Yin. Seeing Xie Yin looking down and ignoring her, she shook their interlaced hands and bent down to meet her eyes.

“Alright, our Yinyin is the most romantic. I only like the flowers you give me.”

“You better only like the flowers I give you…” Xie Yin pursed her lips. Though her face was still stiff, she had clearly been coaxed.

“Still unhappy? Shall I kiss you?” Seeing Xie Yin still keeping a straight face, Ji Yunfei made a move to kiss those pursed lips.

It was at that moment that a shout came from behind.

“A-Yin—”
