Chapter 82 (2/2): The Su Family in the South

She searched for a euphemism, then replied softly, “Some things through certain channels.

Things that are simple, but can serve as stress relief. It’s completely reasonable.”

“See? You’re an adult now, you must understand.”

I felt a bit rebellious.

Being steered in a different direction by Su Liumeng shifted the atmosphere.

After speaking, Su Liumeng blinked at me.

Her gaze said, “I’ve already been this straightforward; you can understand, right?”

When facing Si Xinyan, Su Liumeng still couldn’t speak so freely.

Maybe she always remembered what Si Xinyan was like before, so naturally some girl-like shyness would arise deep down.

Watching her blink at me, I blinked my big, cute eyes and stammered, “Hmm, let me think.”

Of course, I wasn’t that innocent.

Who in this world is truly so pure?

Even if you haven’t experienced anything or done anything, you’d still know a little.

That sentence was purely an unconscious question.

I already had my answer about the truth in my heart, just like the blush reappearing on my face.

Seeing my little head almost smoking, Su Liumeng found me more and more adorable.

Unable to resist teasing, she whispered like a devil’s voice into the struggling girl’s ear, “So, has our little heart princess ever…?”

“No! I haven’t!!” I snapped like a startled fox, almost jumping up.

“Ahhh—”

“Stop talking about this! It feels so weird!”

I pursed my lips and scolded myself silently.

Speaking in such a vulgar way was truly lowbrow and disgusting.

Having gotten into Beiqing University, I considered myself educated.

No matter how little morality I had, I shouldn’t talk about such crude topics.

Su Liumeng nodded approvingly.

“Yes, it’s vulgar.

But our little heart baby seems to have forgotten we’re a couple now.

Couples talking about private matters in private is very normal.

It’s not like talking to ordinary friends, so how can it be vulgar?”

“Oh, that’s true.”

I patted my own head.

I’d been too excited just now and almost forgot I had a girlfriend.

It was my first relationship and I hadn’t gotten used to it yet.

That was understandable.

Above us, the helicopter’s buzzing sound came.

Su Liumeng suddenly grabbed my shoulder.

“I’m taking you on the plane now.

Be prepared.”

“Mm.”

I was still adjusting.

Seeing me close my eyes, Su Liumeng took off into the sky.

After three flickers, we appeared in the helicopter’s rear seats.

The sudden weight made my face pale.

I clutched my stomach, feeling a bit unwell, and bent down.

With my back to Su Liumeng and my head resting on her lap, I saw a figure near the pilot’s seat.

Aunt Lin?

Wasn’t she at the villa?

How did she come to fly the helicopter?

Su Liumeng saw my confusion.

“She’s someone I trust.

I can’t entrust the flight at high altitude to anyone but my most trusted person.”

“Mm.”

I replied softly and then fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the helicopter had landed on the tarmac.

Looking around at the empty surroundings, my gaze locked onto several civil airliners ahead.

“Su Liumeng, why did you bring me to the airport?”

“I saw in novels that the CEO’s helicopter lands on the rooftop of the building.

Why is it different here?”

Su Liumeng gently tapped my head.

“Stop reading so many messy novels.

The Su family’s ancestral home and foundation are in the South.

If we relied on the helicopter’s speed, it would take forever.

Getting us to the airport to transfer means the helicopter’s job is done.”

I slowly lowered my head and responded.

Su Liumeng held my small hand as we boarded a mid-sized airliner.

The moment I stepped inside, I was stunned by the luxury.

Unlike the rows of seats I imagined in a civil airliner, the center had two rows of facing, high-end soft sofas.

In front was a huge LCD screen.

I even saw karaoke equipment, a small bar counter, and a not-so-small swimming pool.

…

Competing with you rich folks!!!

What kind of immortal life is this?

Even a few hours in the sky, people still don’t forget to live like immortals.

No wonder people say life is tough and next life they don’t want to be human.

All the good days are spent by the rich.

Next to the sofa was a small private room.

I peeked inside to see a very comfortable large bed.

After so many shocks, I no longer felt surprised.

I was completely numb and had no reaction.

So.

Why put a swimming pool and big bed on the plane?

Su Liumeng saw my confused look and kindly explained, “This is a reward from my test bake.

All custom-made, no one has used them before.

As for this bed, there will be a time in the future when it’s needed.”

My big eyes blinked, having just been told the reason, but still a little puzzled.

Well, I often get sleepy, so the bed is perfect for resting.

Su Liumeng really is considerate.

I sat on the sofa and turned on a movie channel, watching the bland scenes.

Su Liumeng probably looked down on such lowbrow films, but I was enjoying it thoroughly alone.

The plane gradually ascended and reached a relatively stable air current.

Su Liumeng looked down at the clouds and thought, how many in this world can cultivate themselves, yet no one can truly fly through the sky by will.

How many can honestly say they have freedom?

Her thoughts were lofty, as if the soaring plane never dwelled on trivial emotions or love.

Trying to rival the latest generation of fighter jets by flying at Mach speeds at extreme altitudes on the body alone was just too difficult.

“Having a nightmare?” Su Liumeng’s gaze fell on my furrowed brows.

Seeing my sweat-drenched face, she embraced me and gently patted my back like soothing a child.

I suddenly woke from the nightmare, gasping heavily.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m always here with you.”

Feeling Su Liumeng’s embrace, my heart calmed gradually.

But still, I spoke with a slight sob and grievance, “Su Liumeng… I just dreamed of my foster mother.

She recognized my face, then found out about my background and confronted me directly.

She asked why I was kicked out and why I kept clinging to her daughter.”

“I also dreamed she whipped me when you weren’t around.

She loudly asked which wild man I was with, accusing me of having a baby out of wedlock.

Even if the baby didn’t take the Su name, being kicked out for such a scandal would mean she’d clean house.”

I was really scared and hadn’t recovered yet.

“Don’t worry, I already taught her a lesson.

She won’t dare to bully you again.”

“Even if she thinks that way, she won’t have the chance.”

Su Liumeng patted my back again, gently comforting, “I’ll always be by your side.

I won’t give anyone a chance to bully you.”

“Mm.” I sniffled, already recovered from the nightmare.

The main reason was that I didn’t dream of Zhizhi or Su Liumeng, so I felt isolated.

If reality was like the dream and I encountered her, even if Su’s mother was once the person I feared most, I wouldn’t be afraid anymore.

I didn’t cling to Su Liumeng but pretended to be independent, sitting upright on the sofa.

My small hands naturally rested on my knees, about a few dozen centimeters from Su Liumeng.

I focused seriously on the movie.

Since meeting her again, I felt a little clingy, wanting to be around her every day.

Who acts like a child as an adult, unable to leave someone?

No, I couldn’t be that clingy—it would annoy people.

Over time, people’s patience would wear thin.

I reminded myself silently.

The Southern City was still some distance away from Jing City.

The plane flew fast enough, but I was still drowsy.

I yawned and instantly forgot what I just said, leaning on Su Liumeng and falling asleep.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Liumeng gently shook my soft body.

Seeing I still didn’t want to open my eyes, she sighed helplessly and restyled my hair.

The plane landed smoothly at the southern airport.

I was fully rested, then closed my eyes for a few more minutes to recharge.

About to meet the Su family elders, I still felt a bit nervous inside.

“Mommy, don’t be afraid.

If anyone dares to say anything, just kill them.

That way there’ll be no opposition.”

Si Zhiruo suddenly spoke up, as simple and domineering as always.

Half an hour later.

A sleek black business car stopped in front of a magnificent manor, both elegant and grand in an ancient style.

As the car door slowly opened, my heart tightened once again.
