Chapter 1073: Chapter 70:

Fortunately, I didn’t have to stay in such close contact with Murong Qing during lunch, because with chairs around, surely Murong Qing couldn’t sit on my lap.

Going to bed early was still to wake up early. I heard Zhou Jiaying’s flight was at ten o’clock tomorrow morning. Initially, Murong Qing said she’d come to pick up Go Biqing, but Go Biqing now wouldn’t stay an extra second alone with Murong Qing if he could help it. Murong Qing was not only a beauty but also classy, definitely not the kind with a big chest and no brains, and she came from a well-off family. She wasn’t in any way inferior to Zhou Jiaying. A stunning beauty like her, bringing you meals every day without caring about other’s eyes at all—any normal man would feel a little proud. It’s not easy for anyone to resist such temptation. Clearly, Go Biqing wasn’t a saint; he’s just an ordinary person. Ignoring Murong Qing’s advances was already quite commendable. He couldn’t help but feel a little proud when he saw the jealousy in his colleagues’ eyes, but conversely, his resistance towards Murong Qing was being worn down. This was what worried Go Biqing the most. If things went on like this, he feared he might surrender even before Murong Qing confessed. That’s why Go Biqing urgently hoped to see Zhou Jiaying, also partly to build up some resistance by seeing her face.

Early the next morning, Go Biqing got up, carefully tidied up his clothes in the room. Today was to meet Zhou Jiaying, and although Go Biqing had only a few clothes now, like all male animals showing their best side in front of the female they fancy, Go Biqing wanted to dress nicely since he didn’t have money. It was probably the only area he could make some effort at the moment.

As soon as Go Biqing stepped out, he came to a breakfast stall and casually ate something. By this time, it was nearly half-past eight. Go Biqing deliberately allowed that much extra time also because he had to save money now, and taking a taxi to the airport would cost at least several dozens, if not a hundred or more, yuan, given how far his company was from the airport.

At the bus stop, Go Biqing waited for a while until the bus arrived and hurriedly got on. He still needed to transfer later. Go Biqing roughly calculated that taking the bus would be about forty minutes, adding another fifty minutes just in case of a traffic jam or something. Besides, it’s not like Zhou Jiaying would arrive at exactly ten for her ten o’clock flight without coming ten minutes early.

Often, the more people hope something doesn’t happen, the more likely it happens. Traffic jam!

Now Go Biqing was so frustrated he wanted to get off, but the bus was on the Yangtze River Bridge, and there was no car to take even if he got off. That’s why he stayed on the bus.

The driver might have noticed the young man’s anxiety and comforted him, "Young man, don’t worry, it’s getting better ahead. I heard it wasn’t a serious traffic incident. No matter how anxious you are, there’s nothing you can do. If we were in the city, I could open the door for you, but here, even if you jumped out of the window, there’s no car for you. Just wait a bit longer."

The driver said this to appease Go Biqing, but it was actually directed at everyone. Go Biqing understood this reasoning, so he acknowledged it and sat back down.

After a long while, the bus finally moved on, and it was already 9:45 by the time Go Biqing arrived at the airport, rushing inside as fast as he could.

Finally, Go Biqing spotted Murong Qing and Zhou Jiaying along with a handsome young man in a corner of the waiting hall. It seemed the man was particularly close to Zhou Jiaying, as she was holding his arm, and of course, there was also Zhou Jiaying’s twin brother.

The moment Go Biqing saw Zhou Jiaying, the heart that had been pounding hard from all the running seemed to stop. Could this man be Zhou Jiaying’s boyfriend?

From a distance, Go Biqing approached and greeted, "Hello, Zhou Jiaying. Sorry I’m late. Ran into a traffic jam on the road."

Zhou Jiaying was surprised to see Go Biqing, then released the person’s hand beside her and smiled at Go Biqing, saying, "How did you know I was leaving today and even came to see me off? Thank you so much."

Strangely, even though Go Biqing had heard Zhou Jiaying say ’thank you’ a few times before, this time it sounded so melodious. Could it be that she was truly sincere today?

"Murong Qing told me. Didn’t she tell you?" Go Biqing asked, glancing curiously at Murong Qing.

Zhou Jiaying smiled at Murong Qing, saying, "So the person you mentioned was him, huh? Haha, then you have to work hard."

For some reason, Murong Qing blushed after Zhou Jiaying’s words. The look she gave Go Biqing was indescribably tender, making the three men beside them feel uncomfortable, let alone Go Biqing himself. Especially Zhou Jiaying’s twin brother, whose gaze towards Go Biqing became noticeably unfriendly after seeing this scene, leaving Go Biqing a bit puzzled since he’d never offended them before.

After that, Go Biqing tried to maintain a certain distance from Murong Qing and didn’t dare to look at her while speaking. After hearing Zhou Jiaying’s words and combining them with Murong Qing’s expression, Go Biqing realized Murong Qing had likely told Zhou Jiaying about his situation. Now Zhou Jiaying definitely knew.

Thinking of this made Go Biqing lose the initial happiness he had when seeing Zhou Jiaying, and his mood became a bit low.

They didn’t chat for long. During this time, Go Biqing also found out that the handsome young man was also Zhou Jiaying’s brother. Yet, Go Biqing felt that the way this brother interacted with Zhou Jiaying seemed to extend beyond sibling affection, especially observing Zhou Jiaying’s demeanor, which seemed to hint at something else. However, he didn’t have the energy to ponder over it and attributed it to his mistaken impression. After getting off the bus, Go Biqing left directly, and it was only after Go Biqing disappeared that Murong Qing drove away. Arriving at the door, Go Biqing knocked, and soon someone saw him through the video phone and opened the door.

As soon as Go Biqing came in, he saw Gwen rushing over. After picking her up, he asked, "Where’s the nanny? Didn’t she come today?"

Gwen replied, "Auntie is off today. Brother, have you had lunch yet? I still want to eat your egg fried rice."

Go Biqing chuckled, saying, "You can’t eat that every day, it’s not nutritious. How about we go out to eat today? Brother will take you to KFC, how about that?"

Gwen clapped her hands excitedly. Like most kids her age, she loved these fast-food items. It was all due to those advertising tactics. In the past, Go Biqing wouldn’t consider taking Gwen to such junk places, but now his financial situation could afford only this. Then, Go Biqing put Gwen down since he hadn’t changed his shoes yet.
