Chapter 186: I'm taking her with me
Wei Yuanhu must already have been on his way when he made the call. A few minutes later, he appeared in the lobby, his clothes sweeping with his stride. Together with his sharply defined face and an air both innate and honed by experience, his entrance drew people's eyes to him, whether consciously or not.
He was still on the phone. Seeing that Lin Luoran and the others were unharmed, he hung up. Every movement was brisk and decisive. He came over to them and said, "I waited outside the airport for quite a while. It wasn't until I called that I found out you'd come here. Everything all right now?"
"Of course. It was all settled smoothly." Lin Luoran smiled faintly.
Her attitude rather surprised Su Can. Strictly speaking, Wei Yuanhu belonged to the same circle as her older cousin Li Luo. With Lin Luoran's temperament, she would probably have rolled her eyes and complained about how long he had taken. Instead, she had shown an unprecedentedly quiet side, quite unlike her usual self. This was probably a look one could only see when she was facing her childhood idol, Major Li Luo from Guangzhou.
It was a subtle relationship. Su Can did not know exactly what connections existed between Lin Luoran and Wei Yuanhu, or between the relatives on either side of their families.
Wei Yuanhu shrugged and smiled. "That's a shame, then. I thought I'd have a chance to show what I could do."
His humorous words and expression made him easy to warm to. In the situation just now, even if Wei Yuanhu had wanted to intervene, he might have had to weigh his capabilities first. Yet no one thought he was putting on airs when he said it.
