Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu
Chapter 247 Shanghai Fest Arc (1) : Landing At ShanghaiChapter 247 Shanghai Fest Arc (1) : Landing At Shanghai
The plane landed at 8.17 AM in Shanghai. Three people stepped out of the airport.
Xing Bi was the first to get excited over the upcoming Shanghai fest. "We are here! I cannot wait to see my Ai shine on the stage!"
Yunru, who came after them, carried three luggage bags with his chest huffing and puffing breathlessly. "It's just a three day trip. Just what have you two women packed in these suitcases?"
Xing Bi was quite reserved at first as Yunru was the Sky President but over the few days before they left for Shanghai today, they had actually grown fonder just like Ai and Yunru. With his chirpy personality, he had himself reduced the distance between them.
"Hey. Being a woman is tough," Xing Bi righteously said, "From clothes to skin care to hygiene care to emergency supplies, there is a lot of stuff to pack."
Ai seriously nodded.
Yunru sobbed. "Wish Bro Jun would have been here. He would have helped me. You two are bullying this cute and handsome young man!"
Xing Bi laughed.
Ai checked her phone which buzzed with a message from Jun.
'Have you landed? Are you okay? Are you feeling sick? Do you need to go to the hospital? Tell Yunru anything you need, and he will do it for you.' softly smiled with his concern. Jun stayed back at Beijing for sometime to make sure that Feng Wuhan would absolutely cause no trouble and have a strict eye on him in the Underworld base. No way he wanted Zixin to go through the same accident again. So the trio went ahead while Jun decided to come to Shanghai with a later flight.
But he was restless. With Ai's fear of heights, he wanted to stay by her side. But Ai reassured him that with Yunru and Xing Bi around, she would be fine. Though she did face dizziness as the plane took flight and throughout the whole journey, Jun hardly let her feel any of it by his continuous string of messages.
That was Jun's way of diverting her mind from her fear. She thought it was so cute that she wished to rush back to his side and hug him.

Yunru grinned. "Bro Jun is the sweetest!"
Xing Bi asked, "But why is he so worried about you getting sick? It was just a flight."
Ai coughed. "I...I am a little afraid of heights."
She widened her eyes. "Huh? Really? Why don't I know this? And here I thought I knew everything about you! Jun knows, but I don't...That's not fair," she pouted.
Ai quickly hugged her. "It's not like that. I-I just couldn't bring that up until now."
"Oof. I was just kidding. I can never be mad at my Ai," she hugged her back. "Aish, I feel envious. Wish I had such a handsome man to be lovey-dovey with."
"I am here, Xing Biiiiiii!" A hyper excited voice came from behind them.
The trio stiffened.
Why do I feel I heard a very, very familiar voice?
Nian dashed and appeared before them in a flash with a wide and cheerful grin on his lips. "Xing Bi, you asked for me and I am right here! You don't have to feel jealous of Jun and Ai anymore because we will have our own lovey-dovey time, hehe..."
The trio - "..."
Ai asked, surprised, "You are here too?"
"I am there wherever my Xing Bi is~"
Yunru puked three litres of blood. He stared at him, aghast.
"W-what? Are you really in love with her?"
Nian glared at him. "Do you have any doubts?"
Xing Bi watched him with her jaw dropped. "How...Just how are you here?"
"By taking the same flight as you!" He beamed. "Though I hid myself so that you don't catch me and get off the plane."
"..."
"I was sitting two aisles behind you," he narrowed his eyes as he shot a glare at Yunru, "and I haven't forgotten how chummy you acted with my Xing Bi! Yunru, you are dead meat! Don't forget that she will be your sister-in-law in the future! Keep your distance!"
Yunru and Xing Bi were left speechless.
"Hey! Who said I will marry you?" She flared her nostrils. "Get out of your dream!"
"How can I? Isn't this such a beautiful chance for us to go on a date and get all cuddly with each other?" He shyly said.
She sneered. "And how many times have I rejected your date requests? You don't learn."
"It's called not giving up," Nian defended himself. "You got angry when I took Ai's help to cajole you. So, I have decided to do things my way without relying on Ai to win you," he proudly said.

Nian sheepishly grinned. "Well for now, I can only think of stalking you till I make a very special place in your heart~"
"..."
Xing Bi had imagined an awesome time with Ai, but now there was a huge roadblock in front of her who was totally grinning as if nothing was wrong.
Ai cleared her throat. "Well-"
Her phone rang with a sudden call from Jun. Somehow from the ringtone, she could sense Jun's displeasure seeping through it.
I forgot to reply to him...
She quickly picked up, and he immediately fired back-to-back questions. "Why didn't you reply? Did you feel so sick that you fainted? Where are you? Where are Yunru and Xing Bi? Are they not beside you? Are you alone?"
"..."
Ai felt heavily guilty. "I-I am fine, Jun! You don't have to worry. I just forgot..."
"...How can you forget!?" Jun answered as he scolded her, "I was waiting for your reply but you didn't give one, and I wondered if something was wrong. Do you know how worried I was?"
"I am really sorry," Ai sincerely apologized. "It's just that Nian suddenly popped in front of us, and it flew-"
"Who?"
"Nian."
"Who?"
Her brow twitched. "Your brother, Liu Nian. He is also in Shanghai. He was on the same flight as us, stalking after Xing Bi."
There was a long, long pause after which Jun yelled, "The hell you doing there, Bro Nian!?"
