Mo Yifan heard the voice from the side and instantly let go of Chen Waan's face. She rubbed it while glaring at the idol before her. She was a human, not a teddy bear. It hurt, alright?

"We can board the flight in half hour. What happened?" Wang Zibo took a seat in front of the two. He kind of knew what was happening looking at Mo Yifan's enraged face but he really wanted to hear the story.

Chen Waan sighed, massaging her poor cheeks.

"It's like this manager Wang. I am not mad at you both. I just don't have time to deal with anything else apart from my lessons. You guys only said my status is subpar, then you don't want me to put my efforts in elevating it. What's the use?" she finally relaxed and leaned her body against the backrest. That abrupt action of Mo Yifan earlier had almost given her a heart attack. She had calmed down after seeing Wang Zibo there.

While Mo Yifan was inherently a calm person, just like Wang Zenghao, Wang Zibo was someone who always looked like he was trying very hard to maintain himself emotionally. But for some reason, he was the one who made her feel at ease. Was it because there might be some blood relationship between them? She was not sure.

"Chen Waan, can you please not call me 'Manager Wang'? When you call him by his full name, can't you do the same for me? Can't I call you Waan'er again? My dad does it, why can't I?" Wang Zibo, the twenty something guy pouted like a kid. Why this discrimination eh?

"If that's the case, call me Fan Fan too," Mo Yifan pointed to himself.

Chen Waan thought she was dreaming. What was with this sudden intimacy from both of them? Were they teasing her again? She was definitely dreaming.

"Alright, it will take me time to use more comfortable names but you both are free to call me however you like," she saw both of them with puppy eyes and decided to give up. She had no idea what the two were scheming.

Both of them nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, are we good? We apologize for our rude behavior that day once again. We should have minded our words," Wang Zibo said, his eyes looking at the ground. He still could not bring himself to look into her eyes. Even as a joke, he should not have said that.

"I will say this for one last time, I agree with you both. But again, I do not consider myself ugly no matter how I look to the world. I am pretty to myself and that's what matters to me. After that anyone is free to say anything," she stated with full confidence. Yes, she truly was beautiful. Her back straight, her pride in herself, those were her charms. Who cared about face? The two guys were suddenly mesmerized by her aura.

"Anyway, I think it's time to board our flights, let's go," Chen Waan was now fully awake by their banter. She was feeling relieved inside too. The awkwardness for past two weeks was too much. Now she won't have to be thinking about excuses to avoid them all the time.

She had earlier thought that she was the one who had acted out of line that day, yelling at the two guys. But she was half asleep that day too and did not realize what all she had spoken until it was too late. She had thought that she lost two housemates that day.

She had no idea that these two were also feeling as guilty as her. Of course she did not get to apologize to them but given how they were fidgeting around her, she finally realized that the two guys had started caring about her after all.

She smiled as she took responsibility of all their trolley bags. The two guys followed her in a stupor.

"Oh damn, this is what business class looks like! But manager Wang, why was I booked in here? I could easily fly in economy." When Chen Waan boarded the plane, she had started heading towards the economy class after putting everyone's luggage. But Wang Zibo stopped her and pointed to the seat right behind the two of them.

She did not believe at first that she was also flying business class. Why would the company spend so much money on her when she was not earning anything as of now?

"Our company does not lack in money, okay? Mo Yifan here is our bank after all," Wang Zibo pointed to the guy beside him jokingly.

Mo Yifan proudly nodded. Chen Waan did not refuse then. This was the first time she was flying business class. A new life, a new experience.

"The seats are so comfortable," she stretched her legs and checked every button, eluding a chuckle from both Mo Yifan and Wang Zibo. Her face flushed when she realized how she was behaving like a country bumpkin.

Throughout the flight, Chen Waan still ended up sleeping. It was a short 3 hours flight anyway.

"Poor girl must have been exhausted. All she does is sleep. Still pretty adorable though. I don't really know what had come over me that day to say she would be prettier if she did plastic surgery," Wang Zibo looked behind and sighed when he looked at the girl sleeping peacefully. This was totally opposite of how she was so excited a few hours ago.

"Well, she was just thrown into the cruel training program just like that. What do you expect?" Mo Yifan replied, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.

"She does not even have weekends off. Dad has always made sure to keep a balance of sleep and training for other trainees. I don't know why he is pushing her so much," Wang Zibo surmised.

"That's because she does not have much time. At her age, people usually debut, not start training. Moreover, that scandal from that European country is still a ticking bomb. We were able to suppress it then but it could explode again any time," Mo Yifan replied, looking outside from the window of his seat. He felt a bit of pity for the girl who was being made to work so hard for no reason.

They had landed in Japan. It was time for more work.
