Tang Ming booked the flight ticket. But because he and Shen Han played too late last night, he shamelessly booked three tickets for 11 noon. He didn't consider the mood of Brother Azheng, who went to bed on time at eight o'clock last night.
"Actually, I can go back alone." At the airport gate, a bored Xiao was smoking a cigarette, looking sideways at Tang Ming, who had accompanied him to smoke.
"How can that be done? We are a team. We came together when we came here, and of course we have to go back together as well." Tang Ming said shamelessly.
"Who is your team?" Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes.
Tang Ming smiled guiltily and said, "Mr. Xiao, you can't say that. Although Shen Han and I haven't done anything serious during this period, everything that happens in New York will be kept confidential by Shen Han and I."
"Keep it secret?" Xiao Zheng glanced sideways at Tang Ming. "Why, are you still planning to threaten me?"
"Don't dare—" Tang Ming said with a smile. "As a subordinate, it is only natural to keep secrets for the boss."
"Get out." Xiao Zheng cursed. "If you treat me as the boss, you can't book an earlier flight?"
"Didn't I sleep too late last night?" Tang Ming said with an embarrassed look.
Xiao Zheng put out his cigarette and stopped trying to seduce Tang Ming. He paused and asked, "When did you and Shen Han get better? I remember that when you first entered the department, you were quite unfamiliar."
"That's a strategy." Tang Ming smiled euphemistically. "If Mr. Xiao knew about our relationship from the beginning, how could we start an underground affair?"
"Tsk tsk—" Xiao Zheng joked. "You are really capable. Within a month of returning to work, you snatched away my right-hand man. You won't leave me even a hair in the future, right?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao." Tang Ming said solemnly. "Chen Han takes a strict look at me. She won't give me a chance to do anything wrong."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Tang Ming faintly: "You kid is so good at it. She is Geng Sang's direct descendant."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao." Tang Mingyi said righteously. "I will tame her and make her follow Mr. Xiao's lead."
Xiao Zheng laughed loudly: "Is this the legendary beauty trap?"
"It's the family card." Tang Ming corrected.
"Go away. Go with your little Hanhan." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Tang Ming glanced back at the speeding sports car and entered the airport knowingly.
As Tang Ming entered the airport, Sophia jumped out of the sports car and hurriedly came to Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, lit a cigarette quite leisurely and looked at Sophia with a smile.
"You're leaving now?" Sophia took the initiative, with a look of resentment on her face.
"Yes. The inspection work has been completed, and Lu Qier's task has also been completed." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Besides, Christmas is coming in a few years, and I have to rush back to spend Christmas with the helpless Lin Huayin."
"Christmas is an American holiday. It is as important as the Chinese Spring Festival. You don't stay to spend Christmas with me, but you want to spend it with Lin Huayin who doesn't care about Christmas at all?" Sophia said with resentful eyes.
Xiao Zheng didn't know that Sophia would actually join his army. He said helplessly: "It's been half a month since I came here. It just doesn't make sense not to go back. There is still a lot of work waiting for me to do in Xinao. It's time to go."
"You shouldn't leave," Sofia said firmly. "Don't you want to know what I did during this time?"
"What did you do?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"If you stay, I'll tell you." Sophia said stubbornly. "Spend Christmas with me and I'll tell you everything."
Xiao Zheng frowned and said, "Miss Sophia. You know I don't like to be threatened."
"This is not a threat." Sophia pursed her lips. "Just a deal."
"Trading is not possible either." Xiao Zheng shook his head. "The flight ticket has been booked. I will fly back to Mingzhu in an hour."
"In your heart. Would you rather live an insignificant life with Lin Huayin than spend a Christmas with me?" Sophia asked with a sad face. "Even just for a day?"
Seeing Sophia's lonely face, Xiao Zheng felt quite helpless.
In fact, for Sophia, his heart is quite complicated and contradictory. Facing Sophia's pleading, Xiao Zheng was really shaken in his heart. Especially after listening to Sophia's affectionate plea, Xiao Zheng couldn't bear to refuse. Taking a deep breath of cold air, Xiao Zheng said softly: "If you have time, you can also go to Mingzhu to find me."
"Would you like to spend the Spring Festival with me in New York?" Sophia smiled bitterly. "Only in your own country can you feel the festive atmosphere. You really can't do it anywhere else."
Xiao Zheng's face changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "I'm sorry. I may let you down."
Sophia laughed at herself: "Actually, I know I can't keep you. I'm here just because I don't want to leave any regrets."
Xiao Zheng forced a smile and said, "If you are willing, I will spend Christmas with you next year."
This is the promise he made. It’s about a man’s commitment.
"The world is changing rapidly. Who can guarantee what they will look like next year? Even tomorrow, can you be sure of what will happen?" Sophia asked.
Xiao Zheng shook his head: "I don't know."
"Go ahead." Sofia smiled bitterly. "It's time for you to go through security."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. He stretched out his arms and said, "Goodbye. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
"Goodbye." Sophia was not a mother-in-law. After she was sure that Xiao Zheng would not stay with her for Christmas, she no longer hesitated and sent Xiao Zheng to the airport readily.
Watching Xiao Zheng leave, Sophia had a self-deprecating smile on her face. Turned around and left sadly.
Just after taking two steps, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky. Heartbreaking.
The Spring Festival is incomplete without snowflakes.
Christmas is even less perfect without snowflakes.
At this moment, heavy snow is flying and falling. But no one spent Christmas with her. Isn't it a great regret
She got into the sports car alone, but did not pull up the carport. She just let the snowflakes fly all over the sky, hitting her face and falling on her shoulders. I was swallowed up by loneliness in an instant.
After saying goodbye this time, she didn't know when or where she would meet Xiao Zheng again. I don’t even know if there will be a chance to meet.
Crystal snowflakes fell on her face, and a bitter smile appeared on Sophia's face involuntarily. He muttered: "Don't be naughty."
After that, he wiped the snowflakes off his face, took a deep breath, and prepared to drive away.
"Beauty."
Suddenly.
A magnetic and playful laughter came from behind the car. Turning around suddenly, Xiao Zheng, who was wearing a neat suit, was leaning on the back of the car, looking at her with a half-smile: "It's snowing heavily today, and the so-called beautiful scenery is nothing more than this."
"Yes." Sophia looked at Xiao Zheng expectantly.
"Are you willing to celebrate an early Christmas this year?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "You also know that I have always been a strict wife."
Sophia laughed. A face full of happiness: "I do."
