Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 994 - 996: Departure
Zhao Guangran just knew that Gong Ruini was the kind of girl who knew how to enjoy life.
Before exams, she wanted to go out to relax in a hot spring, and after the exams, she planned to travel for a complete relaxation.
Back then, when he received the offer to study abroad, he didn’t relax like that.
Zhao Guangran wasn’t convinced; in any case, he felt that Gong Ruini was always opposing him.
"If you’d said earlier, I wouldn’t have booked the flight." Going abroad to learn a language is something you can do anytime; he refused to believe that with his brain, he wouldn’t be able to master fluent English.
"You can just book another flight." Gong Ruini expressed that, for wealthy people, being willful is normal, and wasting a plane ticket is just fine.
Booking another flight? Forget it, Zhao Guangran genuinely couldn’t bear to waste such an expensive ticket, "I’d better go."
Hadn’t he seen his dad’s displeased look? Zhao Guangran dared to bet if he really did that, his dad wouldn’t be polite to him and would definitely punish him.
Maybe he’d control him financially, so better to just behave.
Fine, while they play in the country, he’ll go and have fun in the United States; after all, how many people from his circle can truly have fun abroad?
No more thoughts; when the time comes, he’ll write to them, just looking forward to how he can irritate Gong Ruini, thinking that he wouldn’t be boasting so much.
"Alright, I’m leaving." Listening to the airport broadcast, the tears that Zhao Guangran had controlled now flowed freely again.
After embracing everyone to say goodbye, he took a deep breath, "Grandma, Grandpa Zhuge, Mom, Dad, I’m off."
"Brother, I’m leaving our parents and grandma to you. Take good care of them."
"Ban Xia, you need to listen to Brother,"
Watching Zhao Guangran with tearful eyes, Zhan Banxia didn’t say that he really looked ugly, "Second Brother, take care of yourself over there."
"Don’t force yourself if you’re not feeling well."
Zhao Guangran glanced at everyone and then looked at the bustling airport lobby, turned around, and walked away with his carry-on luggage.
"Brother."
"Brother Guangran."
"Guangran."
"Son."
As Zhao Guangran turned his head and left through customs, everyone cried.
No matter how they teased or criticized him before, everyone knew that Guangran wouldn’t be unhappy.
And now, this person whom they could freely tease had just left, going far to the United States, not knowing when they’d meet again, how could they not cry?
While passing through customs, Zhao Guangran resisted the urge to turn back, knowing there must be a farewell, what’s the use of looking back?
With his figure slowly disappearing at customs, Hua Miaozhu cried her heart out.
Before the twin siblings were born, her favorite was Zhao Guangran.
"Mom, Guangran will come back, we’ll work hard and make money so that he can come back during holidays." Zhan Jing saw her mother crying so sadly, not caring about her own tears, trying her best to comfort Hua Miaozhu.
Of course, Hua Miaozhu knew it wouldn’t be hard to come back with airplanes, but she was sad, "They’ve all left, and later they’ll stay in the US."
If there’s someone whom Zhao Guangran misses back home, he might come back, but to him, it’s a painful memory here, so it’s normal not to want to return.
"No, Second Brother will come back, he’ll return gloriously." Zhan Banxia said confidently.
"Such a good opportunity, why wouldn’t Second Brother want to come back." Zhuge Zisu was equally sure.
Is this comforting Hua Miaozhu or talking about Zhao Guangran being so proud?
The twins’ words made Hua Miaozhu smile, "You all."
"We’re not wrong." The twins had a look of innocence, anyhow, they were busy trying to cheer up their grandma, making sure she doesn’t feel sad.
Ban Xia and Zisu supported Hua Miaozhu from either side, telling jokes, while Gong Jiaming and Gong Ruzhi couldn’t lag behind, cooperating excellently with the twins.
Hua Miaozhu understood their thoughts; she was sad, but seeing the kids trying every trick to cheer her up, how could she continue wallowing in worries?
Passing by a pillar, Gong Ruini unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
The person probably felt her gaze and quickened their steps to leave.
Gong Ruini really wanted to step forward and ask why they didn’t show up.
Actually, up until the last moment, Zhao Guangran might have wanted to see her but didn’t wait consequently.
Wonder if Zhao Guangran knew Cao Na rushed to the airport, how he would react.
Maybe he’d have no reaction at all.
Zhao Xuran was supporting Zhuge Zhi, and turning around, noticed Gong Ruini standing there, "Ni Zi."
With Zhao Xuran’s call, Gong Ruini gave up on chasing the familiar figure, even if she caught up, what could she do? Better to stay as is now.
"What’s up?" Zhao Xuran motioned for Gong Ruini to hook her arm around his.
Otherwise, he was worried this girl might get lost, "Do you want to fly?"
The past few days, Zhao Guangran had been boasting about being able to fly.
What’s to envy about flying? We’ve flown plenty, haven’t we? And flown far better planes, apart from never flying private jets.
"I just saw Cao Na."
Without any emotions, Zhao Xuran replied, "Oh."
Such a flat attitude; could he be having someone watch Cao Na?
Suddenly, Gong Ruini had this notion, otherwise, how would he know Cao Na’s moves so clearly?
This girl is overthinking again, Zhao Xuran patted her head, "I just noticed earlier."
"But I think Guangran should have seen too." Zhao Xuran noticed Guangran had a moment’s hesitation to move in a particular direction but was stopped by him.
No matter people’s thoughts on Cao Na, breaking up without a word and heading abroad soon, could he promise anything to Cao Na?
Wonder if Cao Na would listen to her parents or sister again.
Regardless of a positive change in Cao Na, having a backbone, would the Cao family accept it, even if Cao Bin understood, he can’t control his wife and eldest daughter.
While Old Master Cao is alive, once he passes, nobody knows the direction the Cao family will take, so better to be cautious.
Ah, Zhao Guangran saw it all, and Gong Ruini was finally relieved after much struggle over whether to inform someone. No need now, her mood greatly improved.
Cao Na ran nervously from the airport and found the spot she intended to watch the plane take off, standing there for a while.
Regardless of prior conversations, that was when he was still in the country, and now seeing him go through customs, calculating the time to watch his flight depart.
She hardly found a car willing to drive her back to town, and on her way back, she cried so sorrowfully, it scared the driver into comforting her all the way.
