I hoped that Leon could take his suitcase soon in order that I would be able to go over and get my luggage. But for some reason, his luggage never came out. If he didn’t walk away, I couldn’t go over to get my luggage.
Then one of the ladies I was with suddenly yelled at me, “Miss, I remember this blue suitcase is yours. Why are you standing there? Come and get your suitcase.”
This lady was kind, but her voice was just too loud. She shouted loudly and many people were surprised by her. People first looked to her and then followed her gaze to me.
Now I was embarrassed and I was more worried that Leon would look over at me as well. But he didn’t turn around, which was a relief to me.
The lady saw me not moving like a fool and dragged my case over to me, “What’s wrong with you? I remember that it’s your case. Why don’t you go get it?”
I smiled awkwardly, “Thank you. It’s really my suitcase, my feet were just a little numb so I didn’t go over there to get it.”
“What’s wrong with your feet? Are they serious?” The lady was really kind and helpful.
I told her I was fine and that my foot was much better now.
I dragged my suitcase to meet my guide outside. But I suddenly looked back to see if Leon was still there. Then I saw that he had collected his luggage and was striding towards me with long legs.
This panicked me. I turned my head quickly and quickened my pace, almost trotting forward. I wondered if he saw me or not.
I saw a small supermarket ahead for special local products, so I jogged over to the supermarket, preparing to stay there for a while to avoid Leon. .
The salesman was eager to recommend the special local products of Ning City. I was distracted and didn’t hear what she was saying. I was just wondering if Leon was coming after me.
I strolled around the supermarket twice and finally put my mind at ease after making sure that Leon didn’t follow me.
After the saleswoman recommended so much local products to me, I felt a little embarrassed if I didn’t buy anything, so I bought a bag of fruit pulp.
I was looking down at the shelf life of the fruit pulp and not paying attention to the front. I almost ran into someone. When I looked up, I saw a handsome cold face, his eyes staring right at me.
I was momentarily at a loss. I stepped around him to make my escape, but he held me back, “Why are you here? When did you come out of prison? I thought I had the wrong person on the plane, but I didn’t expect that the person I saw earlier was really you.”
“Sir, you’ve got the wrong person, we don’t know each other.” I said icily.
“Really? So I introduce myself first” Leon said in a cold voice.
“Don’t bother. I don’t want to know you. I’m not interested in you. Let go of me or I’ll call for help.”
“When did you come out of prison?” Leon continued, “Why didn’t you tell me when you were released?”
Suddenly, I was sad, “Why did I tell you? We’re divorced! We’re strangers now!”
After hearing my words, Leon was stunned, “You said we’re strangers?”
“Yes, we’re already strangers, so please don’t pester me.” I said and was glaring at him.
“Where do you live now? Who are you with?” Leon was in hot pursuit.
“It’s none of your business. Let go of me.” I struggled hard again.
I still couldn’t get away from him. He was very strong. And the more I struggled, the tighter he pulled me. And even his eyes grew colder and colder.
“Why would this have nothing to do with me? I have a lot to ask you. Come with me.” Leon pulled me forward.
“You let go of me, or I’m really calling for help!” I barked.
“Just call for help, I don’t mind.”
“Help…”I only shouted halfway and didn’t continue because I felt I’d attract a lot of attention if I did and that would be too embarrassing.
“You’re here? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” And then a man came over. He was the man who sat next to me on the plane.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to me and I immediately replied, “I’ve been looking for you too, where have you been?”
Leon stopped. His look became sharp. He looked at me and then the man. Then he stared at me again, “Who is he?”
“My boyfriend.” I said calmly.
Leon slowly let go of the hand he was tugging on me, “Your boyfriend? Since when do you have a boyfriend?”
“It’s none of your business.” I ran over to the guy, “Honey, I can’t find you anywhere, you lost me.”
“It’s my fault, I’ll pay attention next time.” The man was also very cooperative with me.
Leon followed, “Nala Yao, what are you doing?”
I ignored him and stayed close to the guy, pretending to be very close to him.
Leon took a few steps forward to stop us and said to me, “You explain to me clearly before you leave.”
“What do you want, sir. You’re being rude to my girlfriend.” The man said with a cold face.
“You go away, I want to talk to her.” Leon began to show hostility.
“You should go away, please don’t harass my girlfriend.” The man didn’t even wimp out.
Leon’s look was a little fierce, “Are you sure you want to compete with me for a woman?”
I knew that Leon was a person who could be very scary when he got angry. I was thinking about how I was going to handle the situation. It would be terrible to get the guy who helped me into trouble because of me.
“If you keep pestering my girlfriend, I’m going to call the police. Hua Group’s CEO harasses other people’s girlfriend. That’s interesting news to get out.” The man said suddenly.
Not only was Leon stunned, but I was too. The guy I was on the plane with knew Leon?
Leon looked at him carefully, as if he was trying to determine if he knew this person, but it turned out that he didn’t know him. So he asked him in a cold voice, “where have you come from?”
His question sounded like he was asking where the man was from. However, from what I knew of Leon, his question didn’t only include that. He also asked the man’s all sorts of complicated information including identity, status, and background and so on.
“Mr. Hua, please don’t pester my girlfriend.” The man said to Leon politely, and then he said to me, “Nala, let’s go.” After that, he took my arm and walked forward.
“Nala Yao, do you really want to go with him?” Leon asked me.
I didn’t look back at him, but I could actually hear some disappointment in his tone. Maybe I was too self-involved. Actually, there was no disappointment in his tone.
When I was in prison, he didn’t visit me once in over a year. How could he be attached to me when he and I broke up long ago?
I was afraid that even if he was a little reluctant, it was only because he didn’t want to submit to defeat. As he said before, even if he threw something away, he didn’t want anyone to pick it up and use it.
