Chapter 118 Good evening, Captain Ye, welcome aboard!
Chapter 118 Good evening, Captain Ye, welcome aboard!
Ye Fan swiped the swipe to open the door to the presidential suite.
The inside was pitch black and completely silent.
He frowned slightly. Didn't Butler Li say that Xu Yunshu had already arrived?
If the person isn't in the living room, could they be in the bedroom?
Just as he was about to turn on the light.
"Clatter".
Soft, warm light poured down instantly.
Xu Yunshu, dressed in a smart and elegant flight attendant uniform and wearing graceful high heels, walked gracefully towards them.
She wore a perfectly professional smile, deftly held a symbolic ribbon in her hand, and moved with a touch of playfulness.
She walked straight up to Ye Fan, stopped, bowed slightly, and gave a standard flight attendant's salute, her voice sweet and clear:
"Good evening, Captain Ye. Welcome aboard. I am your chief purser for this flight, Xu Yunshu."
She looked up, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and lowered her voice, tinged with a playful intimacy:
"I will provide you with personalized service throughout this flight, and I hope to bring you a comfortable and unforgettable journey."
Under the lights, Xu Yunshu, dressed in her uniform, exuded a more professional and capable charm than her sexy and hot demeanor in the bar, perfectly outlining her figure.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up. Playing along with her role, he naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. He also lowered his voice, displaying the composure of a controller:
"Purse, please make sure all safety measures are confirmed. Our flight is about to enter the takeoff preparation phase."
Xu Yunshu leaned closer, gently placing her hands on his shoulders, her face beaming with smiles:
"Please rest assured, Captain Ye. As a senior flight attendant, I have extensive experience in handling various flight situations."
She blinked, with a hint of challenge in her eyes:
"As long as Captain Ye's piloting skills are excellent enough to ensure a smooth flight, I can certainly provide the best service. But I wonder... Captain Ye, are you more skilled on long-haul international flights or short-haul domestic routes?"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, leaned close to her ear, and said with absolute confidence, "I'm better at long-haul international flights."
"Really?"
A blush rose to Xu Yunshu's face, but her eyes sparkled:
"Then I'll have to witness Captain Ye's skills firsthand. But flight safety comes first, Captain, you must stay focused, otherwise turbulence could ruin the experience."
"You'll know how the experience is after takeoff."
Ye Fan chuckled softly, said nothing more, and with a slight exertion of his arm, he spun her around gracefully. The two embraced, laughing, and walked into the warmer, more inviting room nearby...
......
Ye Fan looked at Xu Yunshu, his eyes carrying a hint of barely perceptible inquiry and...surprise. Her demeanor was bold and enthusiastic, she knew how to liven up the atmosphere, and her speech and actions were quite sophisticated.
But to Ye Fan's surprise, she was just like Xie Wanning...
Ye Fan looked at Xu Yunshu with some emotion: "You..."
Xu Yunshu caught his subtle glance, her smile faded slightly, and she gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"What? You find it strange? Don't you think a woman like me, who seems to have clear goals and knows how to please rich men, should already be a seasoned veteran?"
Ye Fan didn't answer directly. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are you really not going to regret it?"
Xu Yunshu shook her head, her eyes open and honest:
"There's nothing to regret. At least I've taken the step I've always wanted to take, and I've temporarily achieved my goal. Well, I guess I've made a preliminary progress."
"The expected goal?" Ye Fan gestured for her to continue.
"Um."
Xu Yunshu nodded, her voice calm yet clear:
"My idea is actually very simple: I want to find someone who is financially capable so that I don't have to worry about daily necessities and can live a relatively comfortable and secure life."
She looked at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with genuine admiration:
"Of course, to be as young and handsome as you is an extra blessing from God. It's like a dream come true. You completely match or even exceed my imagination of my ideal partner."
Ye Fan listened quietly without interrupting.
Xu Yunshu continued:
"Do you think my views are too realistic and materialistic?"
Without waiting for Ye Fan's reply, he continued speaking to himself:
"I'm 27 years old this year. Being a flight attendant is, in the end, a job that's all about youth. I really don't have much time left. If I haven't found someone I can entrust my future to by the time I reach that age, I'll most likely end up marrying an ordinary person with similar circumstances, and then starting a life of arguing over trivial matters day after day, with no end in sight."
Her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible helplessness.
"Moreover, our profession has a unique characteristic: we are ordinary people ourselves, yet we come into contact with travelers from different social strata every day, and we especially witness lifestyles that are unattainable for most people. It's like standing outside a shop window looking at luxury goods; after a while, it's really hard to revert to the mindset of an ordinary person. It's like if someone wins 100,000 in a casino one night, would they be content to go back to a job paying only a few thousand a month the next day?"
She gave a wry smile:
"So I recognized my own value very early on: this physical appearance and the emotional value it can provide. So I have always carefully protected it, waiting for a worthwhile investment opportunity."
Xu Yunshu turned to the side, gently taking Ye Fan's arm, her eyes burning with intensity:
"See, this is what I've been waiting for! Just when I was about to give up on my dreams and compromise with reality, I met you."
Ye Fan said calmly:
"Aren't you afraid I'll deny it?"
Xu Yunshu smiled instead, a smile tinged with magnanimity:
"I'm not afraid. Even if we take a step back, you're so much younger than me, and you're good-looking and have a great figure. I'm not at a disadvantage at all. Even if I don't end up with anything, the experience itself will be something I can reminisce about for a long time."
Ye Fan was amused by her: "So, I'm the one who got the short end of the stick?"
"Of course."
Xu Yunshu laughed, then cautiously asked, "Would you look down on someone like me?"
Ye Fan looked into her frank yet slightly apprehensive eyes and smiled gently.
"How could that be? On the contrary, I admire your honesty and clarity. Knowing what you want and daring to fight for it is not easy."
He paused, a hint of mockery in his voice:
"You enjoy a stable and comfortable life, and I happen to have the ability to provide it. Isn't this a two-way choice?"
Xu Yunshu was speechless at Ye Fan's question about a two-way choice: "Then will you give me the life I want?"
"Then it depends on your sincerity."
......
The next day.
Ye Fan got up, checked the time, and it was already past ten o'clock.
He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he looked in the mirror, he subconsciously rubbed his side.
My schedule has been packed these past two days, and I've been quite active.
He raised an eyebrow at himself in the mirror: health is the foundation of everything, so one should exercise restraint.
Otherwise, when I get older, let alone long-distance flights, even short commutes will be a struggle.
Back in the bedroom, Xu Yunshu was also awake, snuggled in bed, lazily looking out the window at the river view, the sunlight casting a soft glow on her face.
"How was your rest?" Ye Fan asked.
Xu Yunshu replied, "It's wonderful! The mattress in the presidential suite is truly exceptional; it makes my entire body feel relaxed and comfortable."
Ye Fan walked to the bedside, looking at her with a wicked smile:
"Rest well? Then get ready to go. Yesterday's maiden flight went very smoothly with our teamwork. For today's return flight, shouldn't the chief flight attendant continue with her duties?"
The thought of restraining myself that I had just been thinking about was instantly thrown to the winds.
