Seeing Zhou Xuan run away, Sister Yu was furious. However, since she was wearing high heels, she could only stomp her feet fiercely twice on the bright, clean airport floor tiles to vent her frustration.

Sister Yu slowly walked toward the exit, thinking that such an amusing little brother actually deliberately withheld his contact information from her, which was truly a bit of a pity.

Yet, a sly chuckle escaped her heart. Contact information? That was hardly a challenge; she could simply have someone track it down later.

To Sister Yu's surprise, however, as soon as she reached the exit, she spotted little brother Zhou Xuan hesitating and looking back.

"Heh, I thought I'd lost my charm. Look, isn't the little brother waiting for me right ahead?" Sister Yu tossed her hair and swayed her hips as she walked over.

Seeing Sister Yu approaching with graceful, model-like steps, Zhou Xuan knew immediately that she had misinterpreted the situation.

"Is President Zhou waiting here for me?" Sister Yu walked right up to Zhou Xuan, blinking her eyes with a playful glint in her gaze.

Zhou Xuan gave a wry smile and said, "Sister Yu, it's your turn to shine!" With that, he stepped aside and motioned for her to look outside.

Sister Yu instantly spotted four bulky, muscular men outside who were casting malicious and sinister grins at both her and Zhou Xuan. She understood at once why Zhou Xuan had been waiting for her—he wanted her to take the lead and spearhead the charge.

Sister Yu shot Zhou Xuan a deeply meaningful look, thinking to herself that this kid was certainly bold despite his youth.

"Still, Sister Yu's reputation in the Imperial Capital isn't just for show. I might as well let this little brother witness my presence firsthand." With that thought, Sister Yu took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly turned frosty.

"These pieces of trash actually think they can ambush us right at the airport exit. They must have a death wish."

With those words, she tossed her handbag into Zhou Xuan's hands and strode out aggressively, radiating an aura of intimidation as if she had her own passive deterrent skill in a video game.

Sister Yu's imposing demeanor made the surrounding people hesitant to get close, instinctively clearing a path for her.

Just like that, Sister Yu walked out like a queen.

Zhou Xuan caught the bag, inwardly praising, "Holy crap! Now *that* is the ultimate dominant older sister vibe!"

The muscular man and his three companions outside were momentarily stunned when they saw Zhou Xuan and Sister Yu step out looking so cool. Originally, the muscular man's intention was to teach Zhou Xuan a minor lesson.

Zhou Xuan had squeezed his wrist so hard on the airplane that it was still bruised. However, it had been too inconvenient to make a move aboard the flight, as there was simply no room to unleash his strength.

Thus, as soon as he got off the plane, the muscular man had called up three friends to meet him. Waiting here was meant to give Zhou Xuan a hard lesson.

Yet, seeing Sister Yu stride out like this, he suddenly felt a twinge of fear. Having stayed in the Imperial Capital for long, he knew full well that one must never be arrogant and that keeping a low profile was essential. Otherwise, offending someone untouchable would spell total disaster.

Seeing such a strikingly beautiful woman approach with such unshakeable nonchalance, the muscular man subconsciously classified Sister Yu as someone he simply could not afford to mess with.

Leaving the four muscle-bound men aside, Mai Zhuo, who was at the airport to pick up Zhou Xuan, felt a jolt of shock when he saw Sister Yu emerge.

"Damn it, why did I have to run into this menace?" Mai Zhuo sighed internally, figuring he must not have checked his horoscope before leaving the house today.

Sister Yu's legendary status in the Imperial Capital was rock solid. Most ordinary people hadn't heard of her, but those who had found her utterly terrifying.

Muttering curses under his breath about why Zhou Xuan was taking so long to show up, Mai Zhuo instantly sidestepped a couple of paces and turned his back to the exit.

*Let's just pray Sister Yu didn't see me,* Mai Zhuo prayed silently.

By the time Sister Yu walked past the exit, the four muscular men hadn't dared to step forward and cause trouble. Sister Yu cast a look of utter contempt at the group, then headed straight toward the sign reading "President Zhou."

This made Zhou Xuan seriously wonder if those four guys were all show and no substance, lacking the guts to back it up. If he had known, he should have hit that muscular man much harder on the plane; the chances of deterring them would probably have been much higher.

Just as Zhou Xuan was about to bid farewell to Sister Yu, she walked straight behind Mai Zhuo and fixed her gaze firmly on the words "President Zhou" written on the cardboard sign.

At this sight, Zhou Xuan wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into—it was simply too embarrassing.

Yet, matching his thick skin, Zhou Xuan smiled at Sister Yu and said, "See? I really am President Zhou, here to talk business."

Sister Yu's previously stern expression melted away like snow in spring, and she chuckled, "Little Zhuo, why did you turn around and give me your back the moment you saw me? Are you really that unhappy to see your older sister?"

Amidst Zhou Xuan's astonishment, Mai Zhuo turned around wearing the most fake smile imaginable and said, "How could that be? Of course I'm thrilled to see Sister Yu."

"Giggle. Little Zhuo, if you're truly happy, go teach those fellows over there a lesson. They actually tried to flirt with your sister on the airplane just now. They must have eaten the heart of a leopard and the courage of a bear. Go cripple their manhood for me," Sister Yu said playfully yet fiercely as she glanced at the group across the way.

*Holy crap, so ruthless!*

Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a chilly breeze between his legs. This woman was terrifying.

"Ah!" Mai Zhuo finally noticed the muscular men as well, and with a show of great indignation, he said, "How dare they bully Sister Yu! They're simply courting death. But Sister Yu, look at my scrawny arms and legs—I'm no match for those guys at all. If I go over there and get beaten up, wouldn't I bring shame upon Sister Yu? How about we let them off today, and tomorrow I'll have my older brother send a couple of guys over? I guarantee it will satisfy Sister Yu completely."

"Hmph, if we waited until tomorrow, would I even need to ask you?" Sister Yu's expression shifted once more.

"Ah." A fresh wave of panic hit Mai Zhuo's heart. He regretted ever coming to the airport today—trouble always seemed to find him.

"However..." Sister Yu changed the subject, "If you agree to do one thing for me, I'll let you off the hook."

Mai Zhuo was ready to agree instantly, but pausing for a second thought, he asked, "Sister Yu, what is it? If it's something I can do, I'll definitely get it done."

"Give me this President Zhou's phone number," Sister Yu said, pointing at the "President Zhou" on the cardboard sign.

"Ah!" Mai Zhuo hadn't expected the demand to be so simple, and thus abandoned Zhou Xuan in a split second. "No problem, Sister Yu."

At this point, Zhou Xuan could no longer stand by and watch. He spoke up, "Hey, how can you casually leak my phone number to someone else?"

"Ah! You're Zhou Xuan?" Mai Zhuo hadn't expected that the kid trailing behind Sister Yu was actually the very person he was supposed to pick up. Furthermore, he had just agreed to hand over the guy's number. A wave of agonizing embarrassment washed over his face.

Zhou Xuan turned to Sister Yu and said, "Sister Yu, isn't it a bit unfair to fish for my personal information right in front of me like this?"

"Heh, little brother, I didn't realize you knew Mai Zhuo. In that case, we're all friends anyway. Why put up such a keep-away attitude?" Sister Yu laughed heartily.

As for the group of muscular men nearby, they had long since been cast to the back of their minds and had vanished without a trace.

Mai Zhuo tossed the cardboard sign aside, flashed a smile, and said, "Hello, Zhou Xuan. Let me formally introduce myself—I'm Mai Zhuo, very nice to meet you."

Zhou Xuan gave Mai Zhuo a speechless look. Remembering that the guy had come all this way out of kindness to pick him up, he couldn't bring himself to flare up. With a bitter smile, he replied, "Hello, I'm Zhou Xuan."

Then, a single sentence from Zhou Xuan instantly drew another glare of wrath from Sister Yu standing beside them:

"Brother Mai, don't you think we should get going now?"
