The little flight attendant could only beg the fat man for forgiveness.
Yet faced with Yunfan's request, she managed a professional smile on her tear-streaked face that looked far worse than crying.
"Sir, here is your noodles."
Quickly retrieving a box of noodles, she handed it to Yunfan, then turned once more to beg the fat man for forgiveness.
Listening to the exchange between the fat man and the flight attendant, the onlookers finally understood what had happened.
"So it was this fat pig trying to take advantage of the flight attendant. He deserved to get scalded."
"That poor flight attendant. I hear the penalties for passenger complaints are extremely strict."
"That punk who just asked her for noodles is despicable, too. The girl was practically on her knees begging that pig, yet he still has the nerve to order food. Ugh."
The surrounding passengers pointed fingers at the fat man.
Naturally, their glances toward Yunfan were also filled with contempt, including those of Xinyue beside him.
Just as Xinyue rose to help the flight attendant, Yunfan made his move first.
Holding the meal box in his left hand, Yunfan used his right hand to lift the flight attendant up from the floor.
"You don't need to apologize to trash like this," Yunfan told her. "Just stand aside and watch me handle it."
"Who the hell do you think you are? Get the hell out of here!"
The fat man had been planning to use the complaint to threaten the flight attendant so he could have some evening entertainment.
He was just about to succeed when this jerk ruined everything.
"Wearing clothes from a street stall—a single pair of socks I own costs more than your whole outfit. Poor as a stray dog and you think you can play the hero saving the damsel? Do you even have the right? Ptui..."
Sneering from ear to ear, the fat man spat a thick glob of phlegm straight at Yunfan.
Yunfan raised the meal box in his hand, caught the phlegm right inside it, and slammed the box straight into the fat man's face.
"Agh!!!"
The scalding heat made the fat man scream as he writhed and tried to wipe the filth from his face.
Noodles and soup splattered all over him, making him look utterly wretched.
"Holy shit! This kid! Holy shit!!!"
"He did what I didn't dare to do. Awesome."
"Not bad. This is how a young man should act—when you see something like this, you have to help the weak."
Many passengers in the cabin gave Yunfan a thumbs-up.
Even Xinyue beside him had a complete change of perspective regarding Yunfan.
"I'm going to fucking kill you!"
The fat man's entire face was bright red from the scald, with several blisters already forming. Driven by excruciating pain and rage, he raised his hand and swung at Yunfan.
Yunfan struck first despite moving second, planting a kick straight into the fat man's stomach that sent him crashing to the floor.
Looking down at the fat man clutching his stomach on the ground, Yunfan said coldly, "I'm the one who ruined your clothes, and I'm the one who hit you. If you're any kind of man, stop picking on the flight attendants. If you've got the guts, come at me!"
"Fine, I'll come at you then. Playing the hero, huh?"
The fat man glared angrily at Yunfan.
Just when everyone thought the fat man was about to rush over and beat Yunfan up, he merely muttered, "Just you wait," hurried over to an empty seat in the corner, and hid far away.
Pfft...
That cowardly display amused everyone present.
"Thank you..."
The flight attendant bowed to thank Yunfan.
Yunfan smiled. "Don't mention it. I just couldn't stand the guy."
"Sir, this is my phone number. I'm actually from Lanhai City. I hope you'll call me sometime so I can treat you to a meal to show my gratitude."
Fumbling in a panic, the flight attendant scribbled down a note and shoved it into Yunfan's hand, her delicate face flushing crimson.
Seeing how adorable she was, Yunfan couldn't resist teasing her: "Just a meal isn't enough. Do you have any entertainment lined up?"
"Entertainment?" The flight attendant bit her lip pitifully. "I can dance. I can perform a routine for you if you'd like?"
"Dancing sounds good," Yunfan said with a wicked grin. "Can you dance in a swimsuit?"
A swimsuit?
Hearing this, the flight attendant's ears turned red clear to the roots.
Xinyue couldn't stand to listen another second. "Despicable!"
Yunfan glanced at her. "How is that despicable? I'm simply appreciating beauty on a deeper level."
"Ugh."
Whatever slight shift in perception Xinyue had felt toward him was instantly ground to dust by his shamelessness.
Realizing the flight attendant was too startled and flustered, Yunfan smiled and said, "I was just teasing you about the meal and the dance. It was no trouble at all, no need to thank me."
"No, no, no, I insist on treating you to dinner."
The flight attendant waved her hands repeatedly. Yunfan had stepped up righteously today and saved her job; she simply had to show her gratitude.
Seeing how earnest she looked, Yunfan agreed.
Since it was mealtime and he didn't want to disrupt her work, Yunfan let her go.
A long while later, the plane arrived in Lanhai City.
As they were getting off, the flight attendant gave him endless reminders to make sure he called her.
On the shuttle bus, Yunfan stood right beside Xinyue.
"Beautiful," Yunfan kindly reminded her, "you shouldn't delay treating your condition. If you drag this out any longer, it's going to become very troublesome, but I can cure you."
Xinyue asked with utter disdain, "And how would you do that?"
Yunfan replied earnestly, "You have a severe case of myocardial ischemia. For qi stagnation and blood stasis, all it takes is my exclusive chest massage technique to clear it right up."
"Get lost!"
Xinyue knew Yunfan's mind was filled with nothing but filthy thoughts.
After hurling that curse, the shuttle bus happened to reach the stop, and she stepped right off.
Yunfan made her feel nauseous; looking at him for even one extra second made her want to vomit.
If the young man was a pure white cloud in the sky, Yunfan was a crawling maggot in the slime.
"Tsk tsk tsk, why won't anyone believe me?"
Yunfan watched the beauty's retreating figure with a helpless sigh.
It was just a pity that such a gorgeous woman was about to die.
He was in a rush to save his wife anyway, and since the beauty didn't trust him, he couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on her.
Walking out of the airport, Yunfan hailed a taxi and headed for the Jinxiu Haoting villa district.
Screech...
As the taxi stopped, Yunfan stepped out and prepared to walk into the villa compound.
"You're stalking me!!!"
A familiar, icy female voice rang out from behind him.
Yunfan turned around to see a Porsche pulling up.
Through the open window, he could see Xinyue in the driver's seat.
"Be reasonable, beauty," Yunfan retorted. "I was clearly at this entrance first. If anyone is stalking anyone, it must be you lusting after my looks and following me."
"Lusting after your looks?!"
Xinyue was so angry she laughed. The second-generation rich heirs chasing after her could circle Lanhai City three times over; she wasn't blind, so how could she possibly lust after this punk?
Not only had this bastard flirted with her on the plane, but he had also pestered her on the shuttle bus.
Naturally, Xinyue assumed Yunfan was stalking her—she had lost count of how many times she had dealt with this kind of behavior.
"Don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'm calling the police!"
With that parting shot, Xinyue drove her car straight into Jinxiu Haoting.
