Chapter 654: Chapter 654
Because Zhao Mengjin was sick, and there were still two seats available in the first-class cabin, Xiao Yebai would certainly offer one of them to his sick niece and the doctor who could take care of her.
Tang Sili was thus seated in first class.
"Is this your first time in first class, Professor Tang?" Seeing that this scheming professor seemed unable to operate even the fancy seats in first class, Zhao Mengjin’s lips curved into a smile.
The gaze of Tang Sili fell upon the sly smile on her face and said, "Whether I’ve been in first class before or not, does it entertain you?"
Zhao Mengjin’s smile stiffened for a moment.
From takeoff to landing, the two of them didn’t exchange another word.
It wasn’t until they disembarked that, because Xiao Yebai wanted to have his wife all to himself, they, along with Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng, rode in the same car.
Zhang Sanfeng asked on behalf of Xiao Yebai, "Is the patient feeling any better?"
"The fever has subsided a bit, but the inflammation hasn’t gone completely. It’ll take some time," Tang Sili answered.
Zhao Mengjin sat by the car window, with Zhang Sanfeng in the middle. Even Zhan Dapeng, sitting in the passenger seat up front, could feel the tension between the two of them.
Considering Miss Zhao had personally requested Tang Sili’s company before. They were all quite puzzled, as they all knew Tang Sili was actually a difficult person to get along with, or to put it another way, Tang Sili had the ability to make one feel uncomfortable.
Despite being a doctor capable of curing a hundred diseases, his ability to infuriate people was comparable to Xiao Yebai’s. Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Zhao Mengjin’s thoughts had become even more inscrutable now.
As for Tang Sili, he continued to do as he pleased, seemingly unaffected by anything.
Zhao Mengjin furrowed her brows, and through the car window on her side, it seemed she could see a reflection of the man’s profile—extraordinarily cold and detached, as though nothing could influence him.
She, Zhao Mengjin, was regarded as quite the beloved girl, admired wherever she went. There was no shortage of boys who would blush and palpitate at the sight of her, and countless men fell head over heels for her at first sight.
Of course, she wasn’t aware that once stripped of his poor background, Tang Sili was also a man admired by many, attracting countless women wherever he went.
By that account, the two were evenly matched.
Their taxi, following the car Xiao Yebai was in, came to a stop at a red light intersection, while Xiao Yebai’s car continued on.
Rio de Janeiro, located in the Southern Hemisphere, has a climate opposite to that of the Northern Hemisphere, but since it is a coastal city, the temperature changes throughout the year are fairly mild. Right now in Rio, the weather was neither hot nor cold.
Once Gu Nuan disembarked from the plane, she simply added a light jacket, feeling just right. She and Xiao Yebai didn’t really notice whether the car behind had kept up. The couple was discussing which sightseeing route to take that could offer views of the legendary Mount Jesus.
The immense statue seemed to hover amidst the clouds, creating a vision of divine intervention, as if presenting a miraculous sense of a deity descending from heaven.
In the sunlight streaming below the clouds, Gu Nuan had to squint her eyes.
Xiao Yebai, sitting beside her, had obviously been to the famous city of Rio de Janeiro before and thus didn’t seem too curious about the scenery. However, his gaze was locked in a distant stare with an elderly person standing up front.
Gu Nuan also saw it: under the powerful backdrop of Mount Jesus, a hotel stood near the intersection ahead, with an elderly woman dressed appropriately and boldly standing at the hotel entrance, her expression slightly solemn.
