Chapter 4: Don’t All You Guys Like Them Big?

The accident at the exit not only startled the surrounding travelers into a flurry of exclamations, but also immediately drew the attention of airport security and staff. They quickly gathered around the bloodied, glass-strewn, unconscious Ray and his companions, calling for emergency aid on their phones, tending to wounds as best they could, and trying to rouse the injured men. The scene dissolved into chaos.

In the midst of this confusion, Li Sicheng found himself untouched by the turmoil. With a subtle sidestep, he avoided the approaching airport staff, paid no further attention to the fallen Ray and his cronies, and calmly made his way out.

No one tried to stop him. On one hand, the airport personnel were preoccupied with rescuing Ray and the others. On the other, no one suspected Li Sicheng of being involved in their injuries. After all, Ray’s companions had been knocked unconscious by the falling glass wall—a wall several meters above the ground. Without someone climbing up with assistance, it could only be seen as an accident.

As for Ray himself, while some had seen him speaking with Li Sicheng, no one had overheard their conversation, and thus no one knew why he suddenly smashed his own head with a piece of glass.

A few in the crowd cast suspicious glances at Li Sicheng, but in the spirit of avoiding trouble, they kept their silence. Besides, Li Sicheng’s charmingly handsome face led them to subconsciously dismiss the idea that he could be a bad person. Indeed, it seemed the world truly did judge by appearances.

So Li Sicheng passed through the cluster of airport staff unimpeded, a gentle smile on his lips as he walked toward Lin Muxue.

From a distance, Lin Muxue gazed at this striking young man, her mind suddenly adrift. The moment felt hauntingly familiar. Four years ago, when Li Sicheng had rescued her from a group of thugs, he had smiled at her just like this.

That smile had restored her hope. It was this gentle, handsome youth who had helped her rise from despair, and in just four years, she had built a legendary career as a businesswoman.

Everyone believed Lin Muxue owed her success to her keen business instincts and innate talent, but only she knew that everything she had achieved was thanks to Li Sicheng’s guidance years before.

Since that fateful encounter, she had not seen him again. Yet, without realizing it, her heart had been completely claimed by this younger man.

Now, seeing him again after four years, Lin Muxue’s usually cold and beautiful face blossomed with a genuine, joyful smile.

That smile was like spring thawing the winter earth, instantly dispelling her icy aura and leaving those around her utterly stunned.

No one had ever imagined that when the Ice Queen smiled, she could be so enchanting, so warm.

To the strangers nearby, who did not know Lin Muxue, her smile was simply more beautiful than her usual sternness. But for the female bodyguards who had followed her for years, this was nothing short of astonishing.

Since joining Lin Muxue, they had rarely seen her smile. Except when she was with her younger sister, she always wore a frosty, unapproachable expression toward everyone else. Otherwise, she could never have earned the moniker “Ice Queen.”

Perhaps it was the trauma of nearly being assaulted years ago that left Lin Muxue with such an aversion to men; rumors had even circulated that she preferred women.

Yet today, the Ice Queen was not only smiling, she was smiling at a man.

It was simply unbelievable.

The bodyguards stared, mouths agape, unable to recover from their shock.

Lin Muxue paid them no heed. Still smiling, she strode toward Li Sicheng.

“Did I see that right? Is President Lin actually smiling? And at a man, no less?”

“You saw correctly. I saw it too! Good heavens… Has the sun risen in the west today?”

“Who is this boy? It’s one thing for President Lin to personally come to the airport to meet him, but now she’s greeting him with a smile? If I hadn’t seen it myself, I would never have believed President Lin could smile like that!”

The bodyguards thought they were already as shocked as possible, but they did not realize the real surprise had only just begun.

“Sicheng!”

Unable to contain her excitement after only a few steps, Lin Muxue broke into a run in her high heels. In a scene that left the onlookers incredulous, she threw herself into Li Sicheng’s arms and hugged him tightly.

Though older than Li Sicheng, Lin Muxue was petite compared to him. As she nestled into his embrace, she seemed the very image of a delicate, dependent bird, completely overturning her usual image as the aloof Ice Queen.

“How can this be?!”

The bodyguards were again thunderstruck.

Lin Muxue, who had always shunned men, now took the initiative to throw herself into a man’s arms and act so demure?

This was downright unnatural.

“Am I dreaming? Or has President Lin been possessed by something unclean? Otherwise, how could she act so out of character?”

The bodyguards exchanged bewildered looks, unable to believe what was unfolding before their eyes.

The crowd, unfamiliar with Lin Muxue’s temperament, were not as shocked. They simply regarded Li Sicheng with the utmost envy: “A stunning beauty throwing herself into his arms—how lucky can you get? Why don’t I ever have such good fortune?”

Yet Li Sicheng, the object of every man’s envy, showed no sign of enjoyment. Instead, he spoke with some exasperation, “Alright, alright, have you hugged me enough? If you’re done, please let go! Those two things on your chest are making it hard for me to breathe… If this goes on, I’m really going to be in trouble.”

“Oh, you’re so annoying.” Lin Muxue pouted, blushing as she released him. “Other people would kill for something like this, but you make it sound like a disaster.”

She glanced self-consciously at her own ample bust and muttered, “Don’t all men like them big? Why are you complaining?”

As she spoke, she tugged at her neckline, giving Li Sicheng a perfect view of the enticing landscape within.

The black lace lingerie encased her fair, generous curves, so alluring it made one’s head spin.

Li Sicheng’s face reddened instantly, and he muttered under his breath, “Seeing things I shouldn’t… Am I cursed now…?”
