Sugar And Spice: The CEO's Feisty Wife Chapter 28 - She Looked Familiar

Xie Shenjun could have sent his driver to pick up Feng Xinying's friend from the airport, but he felt obligated towards her and so went personally to the airport, although he did have five bodyguards around him all the time.

He knew that by the time Keira came out of the airport, it would be at least an hour since she would have to cross the immigration. So instead of going there at 2am, he reached at 3am. He had asked one of his bodyguards to write her name in English as well as Chinese and use it as a placard while standing on the arrival, while he waited in the car.

However, it was 3:30am and the guard didn't come back. Xie Shenjun became agitated and thought that the guard must have missed her. Thankfully, Feng Xinying had sent him Keira's photo. He got out of the car to go and see what was happening. Surrounded by four bodyguards, he walked to the arrival. At 3:30am in the morning, there were very few people outside. He went to the guard and asked him about the status.

"Sorry, sir, no one has approached with this name," said the guard.

Xie Shenjun was irritated. The flight had landed an hour and a half back. How come she wasn't out of the customs? Hadve custom officials caught her? Frustrated, he looked at the other side with his hands on his waist when his eyes caught the attention of a very young girl sitting on her luggage busy on her phone. Wearing shorts and jacket, with short curly hair, the ringlets of which were playing hide and seek with her face, she looked so cute and gamine that Xie Shenjun smiled at her. It was funny that he even smiled at her because he only liked sophisticated women. All his women were prim and proper. He liked them to be extremely cla.s.sy. And the best part was there were plenty in the society who were eager to warm his bed at the drop of a hat.

His entire attention focused on her. Just then she turned her head with a jerk to remove her large curls off her forehead and in the process her head turned towards him. Xie Shenjun saw how beautiful she looked and forgot everything about his mission.

He saw that she got up from her place and started coming towards him. His jaw dropped as he saw her coming towards him. Wearing sneakers and a black-bead thread around her ankle, she came near him and walked past. He turned his head and stared at her back. She was going out of the airport dragging her luggage with her.

She looked familiar… 'Where have I seen her?' he wondered. Perhaps he had mistaken her for someone else.

His gaze returned to the guard who was still standing with the placard. Xie Shenjun looked around if he could find someone who resembled Keira. Then he opened his phone and saw at her photo. His eyes popped out. Was that the same girl who just walked by? He looked up at her again. But the girl in the picture had longer hair. This one had shorter. Did she get a haircut?

By the time Xie Shenjun realized it, she was already out of his sight. He ran after her making all the bodyguards run along with him. Every person who was in the vicinity, looked at them. They were awed by the sheer good looks of the man who was surrounded by his bodyguards.

Xie Shenjun must have run till the main entrance of the airport when he caught up with her. He shouted, "Keira!"

Keira turned her head in bewilderment. Which man would know her name in this country? She looked at the man in front of her who was all panting and puffing. She just blinked her eyes. He was so handsome that her breath stopped for a moment. She pressed her phone to her chest.

"Sorry, we missed you. But you were supposed to come by 2am flight," he said. "When did you come out of the airport?" he added.

"Who are you?" she asked now terrified as to how come these strangers knew about her. She tucked her phone in her shorts pocket and jutted her hand out in the form of karate. "Don't think that you can mess with me. I am a brown belt in karate," she threatened. The bodyguards and their owner looked at that pet.i.te girl with a slim waist. Her pose was so cute that they all started laughing.

"I am Xie Shenjun. Feng Xinying sent me to pick you from the airport. I apologize that we came so late," he said as he stepped forward to pull her luggage. But he was met with a sharp hit on his hand. Xie Shenjun winced in pain as he looked up. Keira had landed her karate hand on his arm.

"Don't touch my luggage!" she shouted. She had heard how girls were kidnapped in alien countries.
