Meanwhile, Ye Si was walking while dragging two suitcases, searching high and low. She focused her search on the coffee shops.

However, she couldn’t find Xi Zhimo even after she had searched almost all the cafes in the entire airport.

Ye Si was 167cm tall but very thin. She appeared weak, but she was dragging two large suitcases behind her.

Almost all the passers-by walking past would look at her, but what they were concerned about was not her suitcases, but her incredibly stunning face.

Xi Zhimo also searched around anxiously as he walked. Suddenly, he heard a couple quarreling as they passed by.

“Didn’t you complain that I like to look at beautiful women? Aren’t you also unable to move when you see a handsome guy?”

“So only you men are allowed to look, is it? What’s wrong with us women taking a look?” the girl retorted angrily.

Xi Zhimo walked over and asked in an almost commanding tone, “Was the beautiful lady you guys were talking about earlier dragging two suitcases?”

The boy was angry and didn’t want to pay any attention to Xi Zhimo, but he didn’t dare to say anything due to Xi Zhimo’s imposing aura.

However, the girl replied with a smile, “Yes. Is she your girlfriend?”

“Mm-hmm. Where is she?” Xi Zhimo asked anxiously.

The girl pointed in a certain direction. “Go this way and then turn right. We saw her there just now.”

“Thank you.”

Xi Zhimo immediately walked in the direction the girl had pointed. Sure enough, he saw Ye Si’s slender back profile the moment he turned the corner. She was dragging two large suitcases while searching left and right. When she turned her face sideways, one could see that her brows were furrowed, but her expression was unusually serious as if she was looking for something.

He knew that she was looking for him.

The man’s stone-cold heart suddenly softened. So this was how it felt like when she showed concern for him?

He quickly walked forward and snatched the suitcase from her hand from behind. Ye Si instinctively increased the strength of her grip and looked back angrily.

In the next second, she roared, “Where the hell have you been?”

Xi Zhimo was a little stupefied by her roar. What a prickly little creature!

He took over the two suitcases and said gently, “I just went to buy some drinks. Let’s go back.”

Ye Si didn’t say anything. She allowed him to take the suitcases and walked briskly in front of him.

When they returned to their earlier seats, Ye Si looked at the seven or eight shop assistants who were standing there, holding milk tea beverages in their hands. She couldn’t understand it at all.

Did a tall and strapping man like him like milk tea so much?

And did he have to drink so much? Was he a camel?

Just as she was done grumbling in her heart, Xi Zhimo walked over and said, “I didn’t know what flavor you liked, so I bought them all.”

Ye Si turned around abruptly to look at Xi Zhimo. So he bought them for her.

He must be crazy!

He actually bought her milk tea!

In the past, she had chased him down ten streets just to give him coffee, but he didn’t even want it!

This man really had no self-respect sometimes!

Xi Zhimo seemed to sense that Ye Si was glaring at him as if he was a weirdo. His face immediately clouded over and he said icily, “Don’t overthink it! I’m just thanking you for helping me keep an eye on my luggage.”

“Oh, no. It’s to thank you for helping me locate the 10,000-year spiritual ginseng.”

Ye Si didn’t answer him and said instead, “I don’t like milk tea.”

“How can that be? Don’t all girls like milk tea?”

“Then you can just treat me as if I’m not a girl.” With that, Ye Si turned back and said to the shop assistants, “I’ll treat all of you to this milk tea. You guys can go now.”

After dismissing the crowd, Xi Zhimo suddenly asked, “Then what do you like to drink?”

Ye Si sat down and glanced at him icily with her almond-shaped eyes. “Mr. Xi, when did you become so nosy?”

The man was rendered speechless.

He should not have been so stupid to ask!

Ye Si ignored Xi Zhimo’s sullen face. She took out her phone and began sending messages.

Xi Zhimo sat beside her and sneaked a glance at her phone when she wasn’t paying attention.

Ye Si was sending a message to her second brother. Ye Mingchen asked her when she would be back so that he could pick her up. She obediently told him the landing time.

An hour later, the two of them finally got on the plane.

The sky was already dark when the plane landed.

The two of them retrieved their luggage at the Empire Capital Airport. Xi Zhimo dragged the two suitcases away matter-of-factly.

As soon as they reached the exit, Mu Feng immediately came over and took the luggage.

Ye Si didn’t pay attention to this. Instead, she asked straightaway, “Where’s the Auspicious Glory Medicinal Herb?”

“It’s in the car. I’ll go get it for you,” Mu Feng replied immediately.

“No need to trouble yourself. Let’s go together.”

Just as the three of them started walking, they saw Wang Qingyu running toward them upfront.
