Chapter 137 Flying to South Africa
Gu Jinxing said to Shen Wancheng.
“Tomorrow we’re taking a private plane to South Africa. Besides your luggage, you should also have your maid come along. She should be more used to the food she cooks.”
"In addition, to prevent you from experiencing any issues such as acclimatization problems in South Africa, I have arranged for a doctor and caregiver to accompany you."
Gu Jinxing's meticulous arrangements once again made Shen Wancheng feel cared for.
Shen Wancheng had also considered health and safety in Africa, but she figured she wouldn't be going to slums or mining areas, and with a little care, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, neglecting this could lead to problems with acclimatization.
After all, the farthest Shen Wancheng had ever traveled in her two lives was abroad, so there were still loopholes in the arrangements.
Fortunately, there was Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng has never been stingy with praising people.
She said to Gu Jinxing.
"Thank you for your thoughtful arrangements."
Gu Jinxing noticed that Shen Wancheng was in a very good mood.
I couldn't help but say what was really on my mind.
"If it were up to me, I would go to South Africa in your place if you didn't want to, but you definitely wouldn't agree, so I'll just have to make some arrangements."
Gu Jinxing's tone was helpless.
Shen Wancheng smiled and looked at Gu Jinxing.
"Thank you."
Gu Jinxing continued.
"The time difference between Hong Kong Island and South Africa is 6 hours. It takes 13 hours to fly from Hong Kong Island to South Africa. So I scheduled the flight for 6 pm tomorrow. That way, I can sleep on the plane and arrive in South Africa at 1 pm local time. I won't be sleepy and can go to sleep normally at night without having to deal with jet lag."
Shen Wancheng nodded.
"Yes, your plan is very comprehensive. Let's do it that way."
"Then you should go home and rest early today to get enough rest."
"Ah."
After the two finished speaking, they left the private room and called Shen Yao. Gu Jinxing personally escorted Shen Wancheng back to her apartment building.
As Shen Wancheng got out of the car, Gu Jinxing didn't forget to remind her.
"You should do some stretching exercises before bed and apply a hot towel to your arms tomorrow morning, otherwise your arms will be sore."
Shen Wancheng nodded in agreement.
Shen Yao took Shen Wancheng's arm and went upstairs. After they entered the elevator, Shen Yao joked.
"Sister, Gu Jinxing acts like a butler in front of you."
Shen Wancheng chuckled, "Yeah, a little."
"But that also shows that he is a good man and knows how to care about people."
Shen Wancheng thought for a moment, then didn't shy away from praising Gu Jinxing, "Yes, he's not bad."
"But hopefully he'll only be nice to you, and not be a 'central air conditioner' (someone who's nice to everyone). If he is, then you should kick him out immediately."
"Um...."
Before Shen Wancheng could finish agreeing with Shen Yao, she suddenly realized that Shen Yao's term—"central air conditioning"—was quite novel to Shen Yao.
Where did you hear the term 'central air conditioning' from?
Shen Yao blinked and said.
"In the gossip newspapers."
Since they came to Hong Kong Island, they have bought a lot of gossip newspapers and magazines for various reasons. When Shen Yao has nothing to do, she either watches TV or flips through these newspapers and magazines, and learns a lot of modern slang.
"Ok."
Shen Wancheng thought to herself, if Shen Yao were in the 21st century, she would definitely be a surfing expert, and would know more than Shen Yao in just a few months.
*
Because Gu Jinxing's arrangements were very thoughtful, Gu Jinxing would also be traveling with them.
Shen Wancheng thought that these two points should put Xu Pingtao at ease, so she told him about her trip to South Africa.
Shen Wancheng felt that it was essential to inform those around him of his whereabouts before going on a long trip.
During this time, Xu Pingtao's care for her and Shen Yao, as well as the material and financial support he provided, was enough for them to regard Xu Pingtao as family.
When Xu Pingtao first heard that Shen Wancheng was going to South Africa, he naturally disagreed.
But when he learned that Gu Jinxing would be going with him, along with Aunt Liu, a doctor, and mercenaries as bodyguards, he felt a little more at ease.
Xu Pingtao was well aware of Shen Wancheng's personality, and forcing her would only damage their relationship. He and Shen Wancheng were still developing their relationship as grandparents and grandchildren, and Xu Pingtao was unwilling to be the bad guy.
On the day they set off, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao had lunch at the He Mansion.
At 6 p.m. sharp, they boarded the private plane arranged by Gu Jinxing.
After the plane took off and flew smoothly in the air, Shen Wancheng watched a movie with Gu Jinxing and Shen Yao.
We ate dinner on the plane at 9 p.m.
Dinner was a "pre-made meal" prepared in advance by Liu's mother. There was a microwave on the plane, so it was hot and steaming, just like what we eat at home.
After dinner, Shen Yao continued watching TV, while Gu Jinxing went to his cubicle to work on some documents.
Shen Wancheng, on the other hand, chose to go to sleep.
Shen Wancheng slept until 6 a.m. Hong Kong time, two hours before the plane landed in Johannesburg.
Gu Jinxing had also gotten up, and the two had breakfast together.
Shen Wancheng was about to go back to her cubicle to change her clothes when Gu Jinxing stopped her.
Gu Jinxing took a bag from his cubicle and gave it to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng opened it directly, and inside were three dresses.
Two black outfits and one burgundy outfit, all fitted styles, either off-the-shoulder or spaghetti strap, with some subtle design details, such as the black halter-neck spaghetti strap outfit with an opening at the waist that reveals a section of the waist.
While these clothes weren't particularly frivolous, they were certainly not dignified and quite different from Shen Wancheng's usual style of dress.
But Shen Wancheng wasn't so conservative as to think these clothes were unwearable, but she was surprised that Gu Jinxing would let her wear such a dress.
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You like this?"
"No."
Gu Jinxing chuckled and explained to Shen Wancheng.
“The colored diamonds you’re buying won’t be cheap in South Africa; they’re precious gems. If we buy too many, we’ll naturally attract attention. With this kind of attire, people will only see you as my date.”
Shen Wancheng understood.
Gu Jinxing wanted others to only see him as the boss of their group, while Shen Wancheng was just an insignificant female companion.
In this way, if they were targeted by someone with ill intentions, Shen Wancheng, as their female companion, would only be a secondary target.
At crucial moments, Gu Jinxing only needs to step forward to draw the main firepower.
Shen Wancheng was somewhat moved.
I wanted to say something, but I felt that saying anything at this moment would be too deliberate.
So in the end, he only said two words.
"Thank you."
Gu Jinxing said with a faint smile.
"I know, you've said 'thank you' at least five times recently."
"Besides thank you, I don't know what else to say."
"You're welcome. Everything I've done for you is done willingly."
Under Gu Jinxing's slightly burning gaze, Shen Wancheng suddenly felt her face getting hot.
"Anyway, thank you."
Shen Wancheng thanked him again, then turned and went back to the cubicle to change her clothes.
Half an hour later, Shen Yao got up and saw Shen Wancheng wearing a halter-neck black dress, and immediately whistled.
Shen Yao joked.
"Sis, you really let loose after going abroad? So this is what you're like?"
Shen Wancheng grabbed an orange from the table and threw it at Shen Yao.
"You dare to flirt with me?"
Shen Yao casually caught the orange that flew towards her, peeled it, and sidled up to Shen Wancheng.
"It's mainly because you look so charming, sister. I got distracted and couldn't say anything. I'm not trying to flirt."
