Chapter 694: In Shu Ya’s Mind
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Of course, Shu Ya was only thinking about it. She didn’t really expect to see Yang Ming the moment she got off the plane. After all, her current ident.i.ty and appearance were different compared to before. Yang Ming was unlikely to pay too much attention to her.
Even if Yang Ming was a fan of hers, it was impossible for him to come to the airport to welcome her. However, what surprised Shu Ya was that Yang Ming actually appeared! Shu Ya didn’t know the reason Yang Ming why came, but it was obvious that Yang Ming didn’t know her true ident.i.ty.
Shu Ya thought that perhaps Yang Ming was here to represent Ming Yang.
Hou Zhenhan had already informed the airport beforehand. In order to ensure Shu Ya’s safety, there were already many security guards from Ming Yang.
Shu Ya’s group left the airport from a dedicated pa.s.sageway and arrived at the outdoor parking lot. An extended version of the Q7 was parked there. Yang Ming developed a liking for the car ever since he saw it in Hong Kong. Hence, Yang Ming asked Hou Zhenhan to find some way to get one from a factory that modified cars in America.
Many people thought that extended cars were manufactured by their original factory. However, it wasn’t true. In fact, many car manufacturers don’t manufacture extended versions of their cars. These extended versions of cars were later produced in some professional car remodeling factories. Even within the country, there were some car repairing factories that could modify extended cars. For instance, the Lincoln limousine that was widely used by wedding companies were modified from smuggled second-hand Lincoln cars in some small workshops located in the southern coastal cities. The prices for these cars could range from 80,000 to 300,000 and they were said to be counterfeit cars as the prices were low to a certain extent.
However, Yang Ming’s extended version of the Audi Q7 was different, as his car had undergone modifications from a professional car modification company. The modification involved careful calculations and designs by many engineers, hence, his car was far superior compared to those counterfeit cars in terms of performance and safety.
Moreover, although this Q7 was a modified car, it pa.s.sed a full set of inspection procedures that were specified by the original manufacturer which was different from those illegal cars.
With Yang Ming’s consent, Hou Zhenhan brought out the extended Q7 to show that they valued the concert. For usual cases, they would only use the extended Hummer or the Rolls Royce Phantom. Without Yang Ming’s instructions, no one could touch this Q7.
“Miss Shu, Miss Xu, please get in the car” Hou Zhenhan came to the side of the Q7. The driver who had been waiting in the car quickly opened the automatic door.
Shu Ya frowned. She just saw Yang Ming open the BMW X5’s anti-theft lock by using the remote control in his hand. From there she knew that Yang Ming drove here by himself and he wouldn’t be taking the same car as her, so she was slightly disappointed.
“Miss Shu, is this car too eye-catching?” Miss Xu hesitated and said, “Those reporters must have gotten the news of your visit to Song Jiang. The moment we leave the airport, those reporters would inevitably follow us.”
Shu Ya nodded after hearing it. This extended version of Q7 was indeed too eye-catching. If the reporters didn’t doze off, they would definitely follow to see what happened… Hm? Eye-catching? Shu Ya suddenly had an idea and said inadvertently, “Then I will take Mr. Yang’s car. Sister Xu, you can sit in this Q7 and if a reporter catches up, you can explain.”
“That…” Miss Xu was a little reluctant when she heard Shu Ya saying she wanted to take a ride in Yang Ming’s car. Her first impression of Yang Ming wasn’t great and she took him for someone who had ulterior motives for Shu Ya. So she asked, “Would you let the bodyguard follow you?”
“Why, Miss Xu, are you afraid that I pose a threat to Miss Shu Ya?” Yang Ming was pleased to hear that Shu Ya was going to take his car. He had to address what happened with her on the Alice last time. Something like this could never be spoken of. Therefore, for Yang Ming, Shu Ya was still very welcomed. However, Yang Ming couldn’t say anything if there were other people! Thus, his face immediately became gloomy.
Yang Ming’s sentence came off a bit cold. Miss Xu was still uncertain regarding Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty, and she was afraid to offend him. For her, Yang Ming’s question was very hard to answer. If she answered that she was afraid, then Yang Ming would be completely offended. If she said that she wasn’t afraid, she could no longer ask the bodyguard to follow them! So for a short moment, Miss Xu really didn’t know how to answer it.
“Sister Xu, I don’t need a bodyguard. I’m not a national leader or anything. Why would I need a bodyguard!?” Shu Ya smiled and said, “Okay, it’s settled.”
“Okay.” Miss Xu was also helpless. Since Shu Ya said so, she had no other way. If she were to continue, it would sound like she was targeting Yang Ming. Since Miss Xu had been a manager for so many years, she also understood that companies that were capable of holding concerts must be rather remarkable. Even if they were not locally strong companies, they were probably not far from it. People who could work together with these companies must come from a powerful household. It would be best to not offend them.
Yang Ming said calmly, “Miss Xu, if you are still worried, then forget it. I need to accompany my girlfriend to clean up our new house later, so I don’t really have a lot of time.”
Yang Ming’s reply showed that he knew what Miss Xu was thinking, and pointed out clearly to Miss Xu that he already had a girlfriend, and their relations.h.i.+p was great. He wouldn’t have any ulterior motives for Miss Xu’s famous celebrity.
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Miss Xu couldn’t help but feel awkward and laughed. “Mr. Yang you must be joking. There’s no way I would be worried. I’m just afraid you two will be bothered by the reporters… then I will leave it to Mr. Yang.”
Shu Ya, on the other hand, was obviously shocked and lowered her head slightly. He has a girlfriend now? Is this true? Shu Ya’s heart felt like it had been beaten by something heavy. The feeling of surprise from before became nothing all of a sudden and she was a little overwhelmed by all this.
Finally, she got to see the person that she had been missing and thinking about. However, he had already found a new love. Shu Ya would never expect something that could only be seen in movies to happen to her.
Although Shu Ya wasn’t quite sure whether Yang Ming would wait for her, it was normal for people to be wishful, even if it seemed near impossible. There would be delusions before knowing the answer. Shu Ya was no exception. She was looking forward to the moment she met Yang Ming again.
On the Alice, Yang Ming reappeared like a G.o.d, and the flame of love that Shu Ya had hidden in her heart had been completely reignited! However, just now for a short moment, Shu Ya’s heart tightened all of a sudden.
However, Shu Ya was no longer the immature young girl she once was as she had seen on countless occasions. So, she quickly calmed her feelings down and said as if nothing happened, “Let’s go.”
“Go ahead, Miss Shu.” Yang Ming made an inviting gesture and opened the door to the BMW’s pa.s.senger seat.
The other staff members followed Miss Xu and enter the extended Audi Q7. As for Shu Ya’s bodyguards, they took the King Long Bus that was parked behind along with Ming Yang’s security guards.
After all this, Shu Ya managed to think it through and returned to her normal state. Why am I so determined to set the first stop of my concert tour at Song Jiang? Isn’t it for Yang Ming!?
Moreover, she had already prepared for the worst possible outcome. Even if Yang Ming does have a girlfriend, what about it? Was I not his girlfriend in the past?. This doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t compete at all.
Moreover, Shu Ya had already confirmed her own feelings. She loved Yang Ming and it never changed after so many years, which also meant that it won’t change anymore. So, no matter what, Shu Ya wouldn’t give up.
Besides, she was technically a very famous celebrity right now. She had faith that she wouldn’t lose.
“So… Your name is Yang Ming.” After Shu Ya got in the car, she smiled calmly. In a short moment, she already had a plan in her heart.
“Miss Shu, have we met before?” Yang Ming asked this question in a plain tone. However, it actually contained many meanings. He was hinting to Shu Ya that they had not seen each other before, he had never been on the Alice and she also did not see anything.
Shu Ya thought to herself. There’s no way we never met before, right? We used to see each other every day! However, she also understood Yang Ming’s meaning and said, “Probably not. I just think that Mr. Yang looks familiar.”
“Don’t call me Mr. Yang. It feels kind of awkward. You can just call me Yang Ming.” Yang Ming said with satisfaction.
“Okay, then I will call you Yang Ming. Don’t call me Miss Shu. You can just call me Shu Ya…” Shu Ya paused and continued, “Or you can call me Little Ya.”
“Little Ya…” Yang Ming’s hand that was holding the steering wheel jerked violently for a short moment. After that, his expression was a little strange and said, “I think it is better if I call you Shu Ya. Calling you Little Ya is a little weird and I’m not used to it.”
“Why?” Looking at Yang Ming’s expression, Shu Ya’s heart tightened because he used to call her Little Ya.
