Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Xu Xing was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Liu Qing to make such a request.

Logically speaking, his relationship with Liu Qing wasn't very close; it was more like that of a landlord and tenant.

He absolutely did not believe there was nothing going on behind the sudden suggestion to go out together.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xing asked, "What happened to Teacher Liu?"

Liu Qing was silent for a moment, then said in a dry voice, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from Mr. Xu. My family has indeed encountered some problems recently."

You've probably heard about the Longguang Group, right? My mom took all the family's money and invested it in that P2P project, and even secretly took out a lot of loans to invest in it.

I used all the money from selling my house last time to pay off my debts, but it still wasn't enough. I still owe more than a million yuan, and my family is now completely broke.

My mom wants to marry me off to an ugly man in his fifties in exchange for an 800,000 yuan dowry to pay off her debts. Since things have come to this, I still want to choose someone I find pleasing to the eye.

"I just don't know if Mr. Xu is interested in taking it. Don't worry, I don't have the habit of taking things for granted. Give the 800,000 to my mother and I'll follow you for life without needing any title."

"I can even work and support myself, and I would never do anything messy."

"Also, although I did have a relationship before, it was back in high school. We only held hands and nothing more. I am absolutely clean, and you can verify that for yourself."

"Now... I'll go with you if you agree."

Xu Xing remained silent after listening.

He did have a good impression of Liu Qing.

This woman is well-educated, gentle, and generous. Her looks and figure are top-notch, and she is in no way inferior to Lin Wan and Chen Xinyi.

If that's the case, he wouldn't mind raising another one.

"Sure, but I need to check the information first, preferably with medical examination records."

Liu Qing agreed without hesitation, saying, "I'll go get a checkup now and bring the documents over to you later."

Xu Xing did not agree, but said, "No need to rush. Prepare the documents and we'll meet at the airport tomorrow."

"Also, send me your ID information first, I'll book the plane tickets."

Liu Qing's tone softened, and she agreed without hesitation.

After receiving the ID card information, Xu Xing opened the ticketing app and checked the flights from Chang'an to Tengchong.

The results showed that there were no direct flights from Chang'an to Tengchong. The shortest route was to fly to Chang'an, the capital of Yunnan Province, and then transfer there or drive to Tengchong.

Xu Xing thought about it and decided to fly to Kunming first, then rent a car there and drive all the way to Tengchong. He could also enjoy the scenery of western Yunnan along the way, which would make the trip worthwhile.

He booked two first-class tickets to Chuncheng for the next morning and then sent the flight information to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing quickly replied with an emoji that she had received, followed by "See you tomorrow."

Xu Xing looked at the words on the screen and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The next morning, Xu Xing packed his luggage and drove straight to Chang'an Xianyang International Airport.

He arrived early, checked in, found a seat in the VIP lounge, and sat down while drinking coffee and waiting to board.

About twenty minutes later, the glass door of the waiting room was pushed open, and a slender figure walked in.

Xu Xing looked up and his gaze paused.

The person who arrived was Liu Qing.

Today she wore a white cotton-linen shirt, light blue cropped jeans, white sneakers, and a brown tote bag slung over her shoulder.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. She looked refreshing and intellectual, exuding a unique charm of a mature woman.

Her features were already exquisite, but now, bathed in the morning light, her skin appeared even whiter and more delicate, and her eyebrows and eyes looked like a painting.

Several men in the waiting room couldn't help but be drawn to her.

Liu Qing was clearly used to this kind of attention. She looked around and quickly spotted Xu Xing. A bright smile appeared on her face as she walked over with light steps.

"Good morning, Mr. Xu."

Liu Qing sat down on the sofa opposite him, placed her tote bag beside her, and looked at him with a smile.

Good morning, Teacher Liu.

Xu Xing looked her up and down and smiled, "Your outfit makes you look like you're going on vacation."

"That's natural."

Liu Qing blinked. "It's not easy to get a chance to get out and relax, so of course I want to dress comfortably."

"Mr. Xu, dressed in a suit and tie, you don't look like you're going on business at all; you look more like you're going on a blind date."

Xu Xing looked down at his dark gray casual suit and chuckled to himself.

"I'm used to it. I dress more formally when I go out, so people won't look down on me."

"Too."

Liu Qing nodded, picked up the coffee the waiter brought and took a sip, "People in your line of work do indeed care about appearances."

I've heard that people who collect antiques are very particular about their clothes and accessories; you can't be too shabby, otherwise people will think you lack wealth.

"Teacher Liu knows quite a lot."

Xu Xing smiled.

"That's right, I did my homework."

Liu Qing proudly raised her chin and took out a stack of documents from her bag, the top of which was her medical examination report.

Xu Xing took the document, examined it carefully, and returned it to her after confirming that there were no problems.

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and moved even closer to him.

We chatted casually, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Shortly after, the boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker.

Xu Xing stood up, picked up his briefcase, and said, "Let's go, it's time to board."

Liu Qing also stood up and naturally walked to his side, walking side by side with him toward the boarding gate.

First-class passengers boarded first, and the two walked along the jet bridge into the cabin and found seats near the front.

Xu Xing's seat was window seat A, and Liu Qing's seat was right next to him, by the aisle.

After the plane took off, the two chatted for a while longer. Liu Qing probably hadn't slept well the night before, because she started yawning as she talked.

"If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Then I won't be polite."

Liu Qing adjusted the angle of the seat, rested her head on the back of the chair, and closed her eyes.

Before long, her breathing became even and deep, probably because she hadn't been sleeping well due to the stress she had been under.

Xu Xing glanced at her sideways and saw that her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, her nostrils were flaring, and her cherry lips were slightly parted. Her sleeping posture was peaceful and serene, like a lazy cat.

He withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes, feigning sleep.

Two and a half hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Changshui International Airport in Kunming.

Xu Xing woke Liu Qing up, and the two of them took their luggage and walked out of the arrival hall together.

The weather in Kunming is much cooler than in Chang'an, with blue skies, white clouds, and fresh air that is invigorating.

Liu Qing took a deep breath and stretched: "We're finally here. The air here is so fresh."

Xu Xing carried the luggage and led Liu Qing toward the parking lot.

A hotel limousine was parked next to the VIP entrance. When the driver saw Xu Xing come out, he quickly got out of the car, took the luggage, and respectfully opened the back door.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Kunming."

"Thanks."

Xu Xing sat in the back seat, and Liu Qing followed suit.
