77: Shopping on airplane

The parent-child activities were nothing more than playing games like blowing balloons, running while holding a balloon between the legs, stomping on balloons, musical chairs, stepping on big feet with little feet, and ring toss.

They were having a blast playing these games.

Wu Fan watched Yaoyao's happy expression and listened to her carefree laughter, feeling a sense of returning to his childhood, as if he had rediscovered his former innocence.

The parent-child activities involved quite a bit of exercise. Fortunately, Zhou Ruyan had prepared snacks and Wahaha mineral water beforehand.

“Wu Fan, weren't these things well prepared?” Zhou Ruyan asked, sounding a bit proud.

Wu Fan said gratefully, “It really shows how thoughtful you are. Unlike me, I came here all alone.”

Zhou Ruyan looked at Wu Fan with a very captivating and mesmerizing gaze, full of deep meaning.

Wu Fan took the opportunity to whisper, “I have to go to Hunan Province this evening for business.”

Zhou Ruyan was visibly disappointed, but she quickly smiled and said, “Work is important. There will be other chances.”

After the parent-child activities ended, Wu Fan secretly told Chu Ying, “Don't casually give this gold card to anyone; it's registered under a real name.”

Chu Ying nodded.

However, she immediately grew suspicious. How could a shopping mall consumption card be registered under a real name?

But why would Wu Fan say that? There must be something fishy going on, right?

She had just gotten her period and needed to buy some sanitary pads, so she headed straight for Jiayi Shopping Mall after work.

After buying what she needed, she also purchased some fruits and snacks and went to the front desk to check out.

When she handed the card to the cashier and it was swiped, the cashier was immediately stunned.

A card with a limit of 440,000? In all her years of working, she had never encountered a consumption card with such a high limit. Could the machine be malfunctioning?

She asked doubtfully, “Hello, do you know the limit of this card?”

Chu Ying looked bewildered. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the card?”

The cashier replied, “Not exactly, it’s just that the limit is quite high. I need to verify it with our manager. Please wait a moment.”

Chu Ying blinked. “What do you mean by ‘the limit is quite high’?”

The cashier had already pulled out her phone, preparing to call Manager Tang. While dialing, she said, “Four hundred and forty thousand.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ying nearly fainted from shock. Heavens, Wu Fan was too generous! He had just given her a card worth 440,000?

What kind of concept was that? Calculated based on her salary, she would need nearly seven years to save that amount, even without eating or drinking!

After hanging up the phone, the cashier, beaming and with a hint of apology, said, “I apologize for the delay. Your card is perfectly fine. I will swipe it now.”

Chu Ying merely hummed in response, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

How could she ever repay Wu Fan for giving her so much money all at once?

She suddenly felt her heart pounding rapidly, and her face unintentionally flushed red...

After Wu Fan sent Yaoyao home, he quickly packed some clothes, said goodbye to Yaoyao, and entrusted her entirely to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai patted her chest and said, “Brother Fan, go ahead without worry. Yaoyao is with me; I will definitely take good care of her.”

Yaoyao looked at him with anticipation and said, “Daddy, come back soon, okay?”

“Okay, I know. You must listen to Xiao Ai Sister, alright?”

“Mhm, I know.”

Wu Fan crouched down, kissed Yaoyao's cheek, and then, pulling his suitcase, went downstairs.

He had bought a six o'clock flight to Hunan Province and could arrive by eight o'clock.

He drove to the pier, drove the car directly onto the ferry, and then headed straight for Hongqiao Airport.

Before takeoff, he sent Qian Ning a wechat message: {I’m already on the plane.}

Qian Ning replied: {What time will you arrive?}

Wu Fan replied: {Eight o’clock.}

Qian Ning said: {Oh no, I’m still in rehearsal. I probably won't be able to pick you up at the airport.}

Wu Fan replied: {It’s fine. I’ll come pick you up after your rehearsal is over.}

Qian Ning said: {Great! I’ll take you out for a late-night snack then. Hunan Province has many specialty street foods.}

Wu Fan only replied with two words: {Mhm, okay.}

After setting his phone to airplane mode, Wu Fan prepared to close his eyes and rest.

After an unknown amount of time, the flight attendant began introducing and promoting some products.

Wu Fan had only chosen this flight because he was rushing for time, and he had merely bought an economy class ticket.

Wu Fan couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful flight attendant who was giving her presentation so earnestly.

This flight attendant was truly gorgeous—she had a high nose bridge, big eyes, full lips, exceptionally fair skin, and a very pleasant voice that gave people a gentle feeling.

It was quite impressive that she managed to speak for nearly forty minutes straight.

Since ticket prices are cheap now, it is understandable and completely justifiable that airlines want to gain some extra profit from selling products.

Wu Fan raised his hand, and the flight attendant, wearing a blue suit and a red bow tie, gracefully approached with a model’s gait.

“Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Wu Fan swallowed. “Do you have a product catalog? Or you could just introduce some cosmetics to me.”

The flight attendant bent over about forty-five degrees, smiling, and said, “Of course. Do you like Estée Lauder?”

Wu Fan wasn't very familiar with cosmetic brands, so he casually said, “Sure, Estée Lauder is fine.”

The flight attendant asked, “What Estée Lauder product would you like?”

Wu Fan asked, “What do you have?”

“We have facial serum, lotion/face cream, eye cream/eye serum, facial skincare trial sets, cleanser, toner/lotion, lip balm, face masks, sunscreen, eye masks, lipstick, liquid/cream foundation, primer/makeup base, cushion BB/BB cream, setting powder/loose powder, pressed powder, and more.”

Wu Fan was stunned to hear this. So many categories?

He was also very impressed by the flight attendant's eloquence.

He stared blankly at the flight attendant and blurted out something that shocked her: “How about one of everything?”

Confusion showed in the flight attendant’s large eyes. “One of everything? Won’t that be too much?”

“Mhm, just one of each. They are for gifts.”

The flight attendant nodded happily, took out a calculator, and started tallying the items.

After calculating for a while, it seemed she couldn't handle it alone, so she called over a colleague, and the two of them worked together to inventory the products and calculate the price.

“Sir, please wait a moment. We will come back to you once we have finalized the list.”

Wu Fan said, “Okay, take your time calculating. No rush.”

About ten minutes later, the flight attendant came up to Wu Fan with a piece of paper. “Sir, please take a look. These are all the products. Is this acceptable?”

Wu Fan took it. He didn't look closely, as it was a long, densely written list. “Yes, these will do.”

“Alright, sir. Please complete the payment first. We will then mail the items to you. Please rest assured.”

Wu Fan said, “That’s fine, no problem. But can we add each other on wechat? It would be easier to contact you in case anything comes up, and if I need to buy things later, I can just buy them directly from you, right?”

The flight attendant smiled happily and said, “Of course, it would be my pleasure.”

Wu Fan pulled out his phone, only to realize it was still in airplane mode.

The flight attendant was thoughtful and immediately said, “Please write down your full phone number here.”

She took a memo pad from her pocket and handed it to Wu Fan...
