Following the crowd, Zhao Lusi pulled her suitcase toward the exit!
Standing among the crowd, she was so eye-catching that many people instinctively turned their attention toward her!
Even though she was wearing a padded coat, her figure and temperament were still exceptionally striking.
Anyone could tell at a glance that she was no ordinary person!
Zhao Lusi didn’t linger and simply scanned her ID before leaving the station.
Wang Yifan stood at the exit, holding the bouquet of twenty roses he had ordered from the flower shop earlier, waiting for Zhao Lusi to come out.
His eyes continuously swept over the people emerging from the station, afraid that he might miss her!
However, after looking for quite some time, he still couldn’t see Zhao Lusi.
Suddenly, a striking figure appeared in his field of vision.
She was wearing a pair of very well-fitting white jeans and a white padded coat.
She was pulling a pink suitcase with one hand while holding a phone in the other, talking on the phone as she looked around as if searching for someone.
Although she was wearing a mask, her extraordinary temperament still attracted the attention of those around her.
Wang Yifan immediately recognized her.
It was Zhao Lusi!
“Baby, over here!”
He called out to her through his phone while waving at her.
Zhao Lusi, pulling her suitcase, also spotted Wang Yifan waving at her.
A charming smile appeared on her beautiful face.
She quickly pulled her suitcase and walked toward him.
Wang Yifan also hung up the phone and hurried toward Zhao Lusi.
He had originally imagined that the moment they met, they would tightly embrace each other, just like a couple who had been deeply in love for a long time, unable to wait another second before hugging.
However, when Zhao Lusi actually arrived in front of him, she didn’t hug him.
The two stood facing each other.
Zhao Lusi blinked at him, then shifted her gaze toward a man behind her.
Wang Yifan followed her gaze and saw a man dressed in formal clothes standing not far behind her.
He had been staring at Wang Yifan and Zhao Lusi the entire time!
Wang Yifan immediately walked toward him.
Seeing Wang Yifan approaching, the man didn’t hesitate for even a moment.
He turned around and ran.
Since the man had already left, Wang Yifan didn’t chase after him.
Instead, he returned to Zhao Lusi’s side.
He handed her the roses, took hold of her suitcase, and led her toward the parking lot.
By now, Zhao Lusi already knew who that man was.
He hadn’t simply happened to encounter her.
He was a paparazzo!
Because of the contract dispute between her and Xinghe Kuyu, many people were paying attention to her.
Those people were probably trying to dig up some news about her!
After getting into the car, Wang Yifan immediately drove away.
Only after they had left Gui Province North Railway Station did Zhao Lusi remove her mask, revealing her stunning face.
A sweet smile was spread across her beautiful features.
She turned her head toward Wang Yifan, who was driving, and explained,
“Xiaofan, that person just now should have been a paparazzo. He had been following me ever since I got on the high-speed train!”
Hearing this, Wang Yifan finally understood why Zhao Lusi had acted somewhat strangely toward him earlier.
So that was the reason!
“Baby, how did the paparazzo know you were going out today?”
“Probably because someone saw the video I posted yesterday.”
“So that’s how it happened. These paparazzi really are everywhere. They’re so annoying!”
“Yeah, that’s why I didn’t even dare to hug you just now.”
“Hehe, it’s okay. When we get home, I’ll hug you as much as you want, all right?”
“All right!”
He had thought Zhao Lusi would be shy, but unexpectedly, she agreed so readily.
Her straightforward manner made her look especially beautiful, adorable, and charming!
Neither Wang Yifan nor Zhao Lusi had expected their first meeting to feel completely natural, without even the slightest awkwardness.
It was as if they were a married couple who had been together for many years!
Zhao Lusi’s feelings were even more wonderful.
She felt that Wang Yifan was practically her perfect boyfriend—wealthy without being ostentatious, handsome and sunny, and gentle as well!
“Xiaofan, let’s go buy some things first. It’s my first time going to your home, so I need to buy some gifts for your relatives too. Take me shopping.”
“Okay! Then let’s go to Dolphin Plaza in Huaguoyuan.”
“Mm-hmm, okay!”
With that, he drove directly toward Dolphin Plaza in Huaguoyuan.
After roughly twenty minutes, Wang Yifan and Zhao Lusi arrived at Dolphin Plaza.
Zhao Lusi put her padded coat back on, put on her mask, and got out of the car with him.
The moment his hand touched hers, Zhao Lusi trembled slightly.
She felt as if her heartbeat suddenly became completely disordered at that instant!
Wang Yifan had actually summoned a great deal of courage before daring to hold Zhao Lusi’s hand.
He had originally been a homebody, and simply finding the courage to hold Zhao Lusi’s hand had already exhausted nearly all of his bravery.
The two looked at each other.
After only a second, smiles appeared on both of their faces at the same time.
Although Zhao Lusi’s face was covered by a mask, her crescent-shaped eyes were already enough to reveal how happy she was.
He then held Zhao Lusi’s hand and led her into the shopping mall.
“Xiaofan, what should I buy for Uncle and Auntie?”
“Uh… Then how about a gold necklace for them? You buy it, and I’ll pay.”
“No, I’ll pay for it myself!”
Zhao Lusi immediately refused.
“I’m the one who wants to give Uncle and Auntie a gift. If you pay, wouldn’t that turn into a gift from you to them?”
“Uh… all right, then.”
“By the way, Xiaofan, what should I buy for your other relatives?”
“We can’t carry too much stuff. Just buy something for the seven families. Two boxes of milk for each family should be enough.”
“Mm-hmm, all right!”
After that, they entered the mall together and began purchasing everything they needed.
By the time they finished shopping, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Of course, Wang Yifan also bought the cigarettes his father had asked him to purchase.
After everything was prepared, he drove toward his rural hometown with Zhao Lusi in the passenger seat.
“Xiaofan, why don’t you buy a better car?” Zhao Lusi asked curiously.
“Uh… I’ll buy one after some time. This is my dad’s car. I haven’t bought one myself yet.”
“Ah?”
Zhao Lusi looked at him in shock.
She had never imagined that Wang Yifan didn’t even own a car.
His net worth was already close to 16 billion yuan, yet he hadn’t even bought himself a car.
That was simply unbelievable!
And so, the two chatted casually as Wang Yifan drove home.
Finally, at around 5:50 in the afternoon, almost six o’clock, they arrived back at his home.
By this time, many people had already gathered at his house!
